• Windows Media Center Scheduler service is not running, even when the value of autostart

  I had some trouble recently getting Windows Media Center to record programs. I did some research and found that Windows Media Center (ehSched) Scheduler Service does not start when I start my computer.
  It IS configured to start automatically.
  When I found that the service has not been started, I have manually started, but would find it himself quit again a few minutes later.
  It of very frustrating and resulted in missing the scheduled recordings.
  The only way to save that program is open the WMC and actually watching the program for the duration of the scheduled recording. (Not good if I'm not home!)

  Hi the Flomsat,

  I would say looking at the following thread because it's a question similar to yours:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-pictures/Windows-Media-Center-no-receiver-or-Scheduler/ed3672f4-7a17-419B-833A-df02fdf2af24

  I tried all the solutions on this thread. None was able to solve my problem.

  However, I found a fix that MAY have worked (it's only 1 day but so far it looks promising).

  Open Windows Media Center,

  Click on settings-> General-> optimization-> uncheck to "perform an optimization. I never noticed an increase in performance and reliability with it turns out, in fact, now that I think about it, when I turned it on, my Scheduler service started having these problems. It must be able to close the Scheduler to 'optimize '...

• No sound in Windows XP Media Center Edition

  I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 3. I lost the sound when you try to install Windows Media Player 11. Under the configuration/sounds and devices Panel there is now no device not listed for the Volume, the speaker settings. On the tab for playback Audio, high fidelity, all the options are greyed out - cannot select or change anything. I did the troubleshooting steps and nothing helped. All the devices on the Hardware tab have been checked and they are supposedly correctly, even if I do not hear a thing. I've also updated the Realtek audio drivers and nothing has changed. Help, please!

• I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe.

  original title: error with ehshell.exe

  I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe. Could you help me?

  This problem exists since the 1st Media Center. SP2 and SP3 had a difficulty, but it is obvious that it doesn't always. The same problem still exists in Vista today with a lot of other carried over from XP. System restore would work, but you do not have any good restore points so reinstall an operating system seems to be your only option.

  You probably don't want to do an OS reinstall you need for Media Center, but since it does not at all, you might want to play then remove the Media Center updates and or SP3 and reinstall them.

• Ehshell.exe error with Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002, service pack 3

  Running Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with service pack 3.  I get the ehshell.exe error when I try to watch live TV.  It crashes, debug and I usually won't have to ctrl-alt-del to get anywhere.  Do not seem to have this problem before I added various updates etc, tv was fine before this date.

  I'm not particularly computer so nice easy steps please...!

  Thank you, Nicholas

  Ehshell.exe is a Windows system file that is used to run Microsoft Media Center. It is not a critical system file. However, the ehshell.exe file can become infected and cause errors trying to run certain programs. If the ehshell.exe is absent, it can also cause errors. Reinstall a clean copy of ehshell.exe with the Microsoft System Restore.

  1. • 1

       Click on the "Start" menu, then click on "programs". Scroll down and click on "Accessories," then "system tools." Click "system restore."

     • 2

       Click 'Next' in the window system restore for a list of points of restoration which has been archived.

     • 3

       Select a restore point created before the ehshell.exe file becomes corrupt or got deleted. If no restore point until this time is listed, click on "Show restore points more" to select the one that is before this date. Click 'Next' to choose which restore point.

     • 4

       Click 'Finish' to start the system restore. The computer will restart once the process is complete and the ehshell.exe file is reinstalled.

  When I right click on my computer and click Properties, the operating system is listed under "Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3." However, the sticker from that machine came it's Media Center Edition 2005. I'm assuming that the computer is correct, in which case, gateway lied to us a few years ago, when we bought the computer?

  As he has Service Pack 3 installed in the period after, so he gives the copyright until 2007. If she didn't have SP3, then you can be confirmed on up to copyright 2005. But now, in this system update that I can't conclude anything on what has been, this is the original version that was provided by your OEM. S.Chatterjee

• Key export and Re - installing Windows Media Center Edition

  My hp zd7269cl laptop comes with Windows Media Center Edition version 2002. Now these discs are long gone but I bought oem recovery disks but he said media center 2005. Will I have trouble validating my code the product key (on the bottom of my laptop) after a clean install on new hard drive, because they are records of 2005. Also the driver disks don't work with what is installed on my computer.

  The key and the disc should work, but you may need to activate by phone. Regarding the drivers I check the web site of the support of the factory (for your make and model) and download in a folder or a flash drive and use them and not what the disk you have. Note: Install the driver chipset first, then the remiaing drivers, save the graphics driver for the end.
