• My windows media player for Vista Home premium is only a version 6 and cannot find a later version to download

  I tried to play a dvd with windows media player on vista family premium, I get the message that I need to upgrade the player I have is the version 6.4, but I can't find any update for vista because they all seem to be for XP or earlier. Where can I find a drive to upgrade. Thank you very much.

  Hello Pacone

  According to Walter, Microsoft Windows Vista comes with Media Player 11. So please could you clarify the application you are using? The version you gave I guess maybe it is Windows Movie Maker. Here is the link for Windows Live Movie Maker 2011. You can download the latest Live Movie Maker from here. http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Movie-Maker?OS=other

• Windows 7 Media Center (64-bit Home Premium) - No. Tuner error after each reboot

  Hello

  I have a tuner HD Homerun first (network connected) running with the latest firmware, and it works very well in Win7 Media Center for most of the time.

  Whenever I restart my computer, I get an error of "No Tuner found" when I try to watch live TV. I have the MC receiver and scheduler services running under the local system account. To resolve this error, I tried many things such as power cycle the tuner HD Homerun first, disconnect/reconnect the tuner of my network router, remove and reinsert the card cable into the tuner, but none of them seem to solve the problem of reliably all the time. While MC gives me this error, the QuickTV utility provided with the tuner can grant and show me the channels.

  Is there a permanent solution to this problem without having to resort to all this groping after every restart?

  Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

• How do you get the subtitles to work in Windows Media Center Netflix?

  I have Windows 7 64 Home Premium with Windows Media Center for a Home Theater Personal Computer.  I can watch Netflix streaming movies with subtitles using IE8 or IE9 and Silverlight, but may not know how to activate in Windows Media Center.  The always cheerful and almost all means useful Netflix Customer Service says only Microsoft can manage Netflix plugin for Windows Media Center issues.

  No support to do this from Microsoft, does anyone know how to do this?

  Hi keepitsimple.

  This feature is not currently supported in Netflix for Windows Media Center. If you want to apply, you can contact Netflix to let them know:

None of the Windows files were transferred by my request and now Windows Media Player cannot read the. BandiCam AVI files. I've read that it could be the Codecs of compression used by Bandicam however until I transferred all my files he was running fine records. I tested on my laptop with the same file, and it worked fine as well. Is there a debug/repair for Windows Media Player program? Or could I just re - install completely?

• Windows Media Center is not in the list of all programs - Vista Home Premium

  Hi, I can't find Windows Media Center on my computer - I have Windows Vista Home Premium.

  I try to use my TV on my computer. It has a built-in TV Tuner. But I can't find Media Center.

  I know when I got the computer last year - it came with something to activate the TV - but I have no internet at this point - so nothing could be done. Since then, I've upgraded to Service Pack 2. All the documentation said that Media Center should be there. I've looked everywhere and Media Center does not appear to be more!

  Can you please help - if I don't now how can I access the Media Center.

  Thanks in advance.

  Julie

  Thanks for this, before I saw this, I worked on how to solve this problem.

  First, I downloaded the cumulative update for Windows Media Center-still nothing.

  Then I peeked my Control Panel/Default Programs/Set Program Access and Computer Defaults.

  My settings were now on the custom, and default media player - tick on "Enable access to this program" next to Windows Media Center had been removed! (of course by another media program)-I reticked this box and as if by magic, the program appeared in all programs and was now visible to the rest of the computer. "

  This setting should make it invisible to the rest of the computer - he of course does not use if it is checked.

  (I also found once I ticked the box next to Windows Media Player (who had also disappeared, even if it was marked as a media player by default) - he also appeared in the all programs list- and he had never been there before!) I know because I had to go and insert my link on the desktop to access it.

  All sorted - what a huge relief. Just as it takes.
