Digi@nywhere A/D Plus, Vista Media Center, Analog cable

How do I configure Vista Media Center to use the analog part of my digi@nywhere tuner card? It will only "see" the input source as: digital antenna. And, since I don't have an antenna connected, all signal strengths are at zero. Besides, the configuration seems to think I only have 16 channels availabnle to me, when in reality I have 30+. THinking this might not be a problem with the tuner card, I borrowed a hauppauge card from a friend. One that also had an analog tuner. Media Center worked just fine with that card. The included ArdSoft TotalMedia software also works fine, but I'd really prefer to use Media Center rather than the TotalMedia.
Thanks,
Dennis

  • Are there any other internet/online channels for Vista media center?

    Hi,
    I was just wondering if there are any other internet/online channels I can get for Vista Media Center?
    I only have about 9 at the moment, and would like preferby free ones. I don't have satelite or cable tv so would like online ones, is there anywhere that I can get sky one without a satellite dish as prison breaks on soon.
    Enjoy your weekend.
    Ian

    I dont think you will be able to find a free Sky One channel in the internet.
    But Im not expert and this is only my personal opinion.
    If you dont have a satellite or cable TV you could buy a DVB-T TV tuner and maybe then you will be able to receive more TV channels using MCE ;)

  • Vista Media Center x64 Embedded Flash

    Hi All
    I was wondering if anybody knows any way to make Vista media
    center 64 bit edition work with Flash. It will not work when
    playing videos or with embeded media center plugins.
    When playing video it says that the codecs are not installed,
    but it will play if i use media player.
    When trying to use the embedded plugins it can either crash
    or loop back round instantly as if it has played the file.
    Thanks for any help in advanced.

  • Does the Digi@nywhere A/D Plus work with PCI Express ?

    Hi guys!
    I am planning to purchase a Digi@nywhere A/D Plus for my PC,
    but all PCI slots on my K9N Diamond mainboard are already busy,
    only the second PCI Express slot which can be used for a second
    graphic card in SLI mode (my mainboard uses nForce 590 SLI chipset)
    is free to use.
    Can the Digi@nywhere A/D Plus work with my PCI Express slot,
    which is primarily intended to be used for a second graphic card in SLI mode,
    or not ?

    you cannot put a pci device in a pcie slot

  • Vista Media Center plug-in for Photoshop Elements

    So what is the scoop for Vista Media Center plugin? Is it still supported? Will it make it to Photoshop Elements 8?
    Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

    I just started Media Center on my Vista 32 system, and the PSE 8 plugin was present and could open both my catalogs (though sluggishly).  Beware that someone else reported they couldn't get the plugin to work (with PSE 7, I think) and that Adobe customer support said it was no longer supported.  You can't trust what customer support every says (but they don't usually help you in any case).

  • Elements 7 on Vista Media Center

    Hi,
    I am running Photoshop Elements 7 on Vista Media Center and am unable to get the Media Center add-in to work properly.
    If I open the Elements catalog from photoshop it displays all the thumbnails correctly (some are stored on a local hard drive and some are on a network drive).
    In the Media Center plugin it only displays thumbnails of images located on the local hard drive. No thumbnails of any images on the network drives are displayed.
    This cannot be a permissions issue since Photoshop Elements Organiser can access all of the images on the network drives and so can Media Center's photo viewer.
    Is Photoshop Elements not capable of accessing images stored on a network drive?
    thanks,
    warren.

    To rule out obscure problems with permissions, I suggest setting the permissions of the catalog folder and its contents and your picture folders and their contents to Allow Full Control for Everyone.
    Also, see this section from the PSE 7 Readme:
    HOME NETWORKING TROUBLESHOOTING
    PROBLEM: Photos and videos appear as black thumbnails on Media Center Edition (MCE) Extenders.
    ANSWER 1: This problem occurs when the Photoshop Elements Digital Home feature does not have permission to view the files in your user account.  To learn more about security and permission issues with MCE Extenders, check the documentation that came with your device. To fix this problem, if your photos and videos are stored in your My Documents folder, you can use the Media Center Extender Manager to grant access to your My Documents folder to the MCE Extender
    Launch the Media Center Extender Manager by going to Start > Accessories >Media Center >Media Center Extender Manager
    Choose File > Settings.  This will launch the Media Center Extender Setup program, showing you the Content Settings page.
    Make sure the Make all My Documents Folders Available setting is checked.  Continue to the end of the setup program by clicking Next at each page.
    Click Finish when the last page loads. After running these steps, your photos and videos should display on your MCE extender.
    ANSWER 2: Shared folders: An alternative resolution is to make the folder(s) your photos and videos are in, as shared folders on your machine. This will allow access to those photos on remote devices, including MCE Extenders. IMPORTANT: this will also allow access to your photos and videos from other computers on your network.  Make sure you understand the security risks of shared folders before using this option.

  • Digi@nwhere A/D Plus on Windows XP MCE (not working with Media Center)

    I just recently bought a MSI Digi@nywhere A/D Plus from Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815127008 to replace the WinTV by Hauppage that came with my HP Media Center m7640n, after installing the card and drivers, I am able to watch TV in the ArcSoft application that came on the CD, but using the Windows Media Software
    I've applied every possible update/rollup for my Windows Media software, but it just says Quote
    "At least one tuner that supports a standard (NTSC) TV signal must be installed to configure the TV signal. Please ensure that your tuner hardware is correctly installed, restart the computer, and try again."
    What am I doing wrongly that Media Center is not finding the card? Since my software is the 2005 version, from what I've read supports ATSC, and was listed on the Newegg.com and MSI spec as supported.

    Yeah, I've got the "Digi@nywhere A/D Plus BDA driver" installed on my PC
    and my "device manager" shows that it's currently the 1.345.9.1009
    I can view the TV in the ArcSoft TotalMedia software and everything works fine, but Media Center still fails to recognize the card. I'd really prefer Media Center because of it's enhance EPG & recording scheduling over TotalMedia
    Is there something more to be done to/with Media Center? Registry edit or 3rd party add-on that I'm missing?

  • WRT610N disconnects and does not work with Vista or media center extenders like the DMA2200

    Linksys and all other router manufacturers advertise the greatness of the wireless 5ghz band (especially with 802.11n), but I’m beginning to have my doubts.  It is true that the 5Ghz band is hardly being used so you'll have virtually no one to compete with.  However, the 5Ghz distance in no way compares to 2.4Ghz, and as a matter of fact, I find it to be quite terrible.  At approximately 20 feet away, both my Linksys DMA2200 and HP notebook barely get 1 bar using the 5Ghz N band with my WRT610N router.  In comparison, while using my 2.4Ghz WRT54g router, I get 5 full bars at that range, and at least 2 bars from anywhere else in my house.  
    I have all Linksys equipment in my house as I have been impressed with all of their 2.4Ghz in the past.  However, I’ve recently upgraded everything to dual-band N equipment and found numerous flaws in each of the new devices, plus none of them really even play well together.  My setup is: Linksys 610n router, DMA2200 media center extender, and a WUSB600N Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter for my laptop – all of which are currently using the most up-to-date firmware. Other devices include a WRE54G extender and  Nintendo Wii. 
    Problem  #1) The LELA software with the new N devices doesn't even recognize that my DMA2200 is a media center extender.  Using LELA, I should be able to select my media extender and allocate more bandwidth for streaming media.  However, since my extender only shows up as an “unknown network device” those options are greyed out.  I tried to manually change the device to a media center, but still no go.  I suppose you can manually allocate bandwidth in the router setup somewhere, but considering these are all Linksys products, it’s absolutely ridiculous that an option specifically incorporated in the LELA software for a Linksys Media Extender does not work!!!   
    Problem #2) If you are only using one system with the router, the router might actually work as intended.  For most of us though there are going to be at least 2 or more systems connected to the router (wired, wireless, or a combination of the two) such as a PS3, Wii, laptop, PC, media extender, Xbox, etc.  If that’s the case, you’re probably screwed because you WILL experience frequent dropouts… ESPECIALLY if just one those clients is a VISTA machine.   Check the Linksys forums and you will find that this seems to be a problem with all of the new Linksys routers (610N, 310N, and 110). 
    Here is a Microsoft article that explains the issue
       http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/en-us 
    Problem #3) Because of  problem #2 I will never be able to get rid of the dropouts since my network is using one of Linksys’s media center extenders.  The DMA2200 is essentially a VISTA PC to some extent and accepts DHCP requests the same as a VISTA PC.  Since it is not really a PC though, there is no registry modification that can be done to alleviate the VISTA problem (not that the registry mod really works anyways).  So as long as I try to use my DMA2200 wirelessly with my WRT610N router, the frequent dropouts will occur and there’s nothing I can do about it.  This is REALLY TERRIBLE since the DMA2200 is specifically designed to be used with the WRT610N router in order to take advantage of the 5Ghz band and wireless N transfer rates.  You absolutely need 5Ghz wireless N to efficiently stream HDTV WIRELESSLY, but if you lose your connection every 10 minutes, it is impossible to watch any type of streaming media. 
    Problem #4) As mentioned already, when the “N” 5Ghz range is working on the WRT510N router, the distance sucks compared to standard 2.4Ghz G, N or mixed mode networks.  You can try to make it better by strictly using N products, disabling the 2.4ghz band all-to-gether, and using the wider 40mhz frequency, but it doesn’t really help.  The higher 5Ghz band is a more concentrated signal and therefore simply does not reach as far as the lower 2.4ghz band.  I wonder why all of these new products state that the 5Ghz range will increase your distance, when in fact it actually makes it worse?   
    So… basically, this router does nothing that it claims too and is basically rendered useless on any network with a VISTA machine.  This has not been addressed by any Linksys firmware updates or VISTA software updates so there is no reason to even consider using this router if you you’re using VISTA or some type of VISTA Media Center Extender such as the Linksys DMA2200.  
    Although, I’ve always sworn by Linksys in the past, the amount of wasted time, frustration, and horrible support has really changed my view about them.  I’ve reverted back to my old trustworthy WRT54g router and had to run cable through my house so that I wouldn’t have to box my DMA2200 extender up and let it collect dust in the attic.  It’s really disappointing that I spent all this money to buy this equipment specifically because they’re supposed to work together, but in fact they don’t.  Plus what’s the point of having top notch wireless equipment if you have to run cables in order for them to work?

    I have fixed all the IP adresses to avoid the DHCP problem but I still have problems.
    I have sereval scenarioes:
    1. MC < 1Gb wire > WRT610N < 5.0n WIFI > MX
    I can see HDTV on this one but it disconnects
    2. MC < 1Gb wire > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
    No HDTV and disconnections
    3. MC < 2.4b/g WIFI > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
    No HDTV but no disconnections - but very slow and streaming like youtube
    4. MC < 100Mb wire > WRT610N < 2.4b/g WIFI > MX
    No HDTV but nice picture - testing for disconnections right now - 30+ min.
    Result:
    This test was very good. Stabil streaming, no disconnects for an hour. Won't support HDTV but the rest seem to work fine.
    5. MC < 100Mb wire > WRT610N < 5.0n WIFI > MX
    Not tested yet - looking forward to this - might bring me HDTV.
    Result:
    This gives HDTV but there is a problem with stability on the streaming but very difficult to see on the picture. Testing for disconnects - now tested for 30 min. - no disconnects.
    This looks really promissing.
    I am pretty sure that the WRT610N have a problem in the switching part of the router specially when it has to switch from 1G to WIFI. I bought the WRT610N to get HDTV on WIFI and Cisco markets the DMA and WRT610N as a perfect match. But it definately have problems - i still do not understand their silence about this.
    I will come back with the last results when I have them

  • Windows XP Media Center Edition FAQ

    What is a Media Center PC?
    It is basically a regular PC, but designed to fit into your home entertainment system to replace your DVD player, Hi-Fi, TV set-top box, as well as allowing other functions as email, web browsing and more, all from the comfort of your armchair, or elsewhere
    Many new Media Center PCs (MCPCs or Home Theatre PCs - HTPCs) are styled like hi-fi components to blend in under your TV, while many are regular PCs with extra multimedia functions.
    What is Windows XP Media Center Edition?
    Windows XP Media Center Edition (or XP MCE for short) is basically Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 2) without advanced networking support (but including Remote Desktop Connection) and extra applications to turn your PC into a fully fledged Home Theatre PC (HTPC). The main Microsoft Media Center appplication allows a full screen interface suitable for viewing on TVs (pictured below left) and controlled by an easy to use Microsoft remote control device (below right), so you can watch and record TV, view DVDs and listen to audio CDs and digital music files.
    How do I get WinXP MCE?
    At the time of writing, XP MCE is only available as an OEM pack which you can purchase from your nearest dealer or online reseller, or if pre-installed on a purchased system. MCE is currently only available as a 32bit (x86) version, but works on 64bit systems.
    The Media Center application is also included with the Home Premium and Ultimate editions of Windows Vista.
    How do I install WinXP MCE?
    MCE installs the same way as any other version of Windows XP. However it cannot be installed as an upgrade, you must do a clean install. MCE comes on two disks; a WinXP XP SP2 disc, and the MCE extras disc. Boot from CD1 as you would normally when installing Windows. The setup screens will indicate Windows XP Professional, this is normal. During the graphic part of the install process, you will be prompted to insert CD2. This is obviously the second CD of the set which you should insert, as it contains the necessary extra Media Center enhancements. When it is done, Setup will ask you for the "Windows XP SP2 CD". It is actually just asking for the first disc again, so reinsert it and let it continue.
    When install is complete, the system will reboot, and you will see the normal Windows XP desktop, though with a slightly different theme. To begin using the Media Center program straight away, click on Media Center in the Start Menu to begin the Media Center Setup wizard.
    What graphics hardware is required for MCE to work correctly?
    MCE works with DirectX 9.0c, so ideally your hardware at a minimum needs to be DirectX 9.0 compatible.
    MCE requires a minimum of 64mb video RAM (shared or dedicated), 128mb recommended for the full visual "eye-candy" interface effects.
    For Nvidia GPU chipsets, MCE drivers can be found here: nVidia Drivers. You'll need at least a Geforce FX5200 for MCE to work (however I have it running on an integrated Geforce 4 MX with no problems).
    For ATI GPU chipsets, drivers for MCE can be found here: ATi Drivers. You'll need at least a 9250 for MCE to work, but I understand that the 9200 may also suffice.
    Unfortunately, I understand that SiS and Via (S3) chipsets (as found on many mobos with integrated VGA) are NOT MCE compatible. Some Intel integrated VGA chipsets will work now, you should refer to Intel's website for updated drivers. I also understand that Via have introduced MCE compatible drivers for their Epia SP13000 ITX board, again refer to Via's website for correct drivers. However, it is recommended to use an add-in VGA card for best results, unless you have a new board which has integrated Geforce 6100 or ATI Xpress chipsets
    What TV hardware works with MCE?
    In order to display TV output, MCE requires an MPEG2 stream to display. It cannot encode this itself, so requires a hardware based TV tuner / capture card, such as the Hauppage PVR MCE series, or the MSI Theater 550PRO (above left). The card receives analog video through the aerial connection, or svideo / composite inputs, encodes it into MPEG2 format, which MCE can display.
    This type of analog card is required to connect a cable or satellite box (eg Telewest, NTL or Sky in UK). Using the Microsoft remote receiver, two supplied IR blasters affix to the set-top box, so MCE can automatically change channels when needed.
    For best picture quality on digital TV though, you can use a software-based DVB-T card, such as the Hauppauge Nova-T or the Black Gold DVB-T (above right). Using a regular aerial, these receive high quality digital terrestrial (OTA) signals (eg the Freeview service in UK), which are broadcast in MPEG2 format, and therefore no encoding is required. In the USA, ATSC is the digital terrestrial standard used, as DVB is not available there.
    Unfortunately UK users of DVB-T cards will currently not be able to make use of DVB subtitles, interactive text-based services such as Teletext and BBCi, or listen to the Digital Radio services available on Freeview. UK DVB Digital Audio services are now available with MCE Rollup 2.
    Unlike with VGA cards, MCE requires that your TV hardware has special BDA (Broadcast Driver Architecture) drivers which are MCE compatible. Check your hardware manufacturers website for compatible drivers.
    Unfortunately, analogue TV hardware that is software-driven (such as MSI TV@nywhere and Vox) won't work in MCE.
    Windows Vista Media Center will introduce support for cable (DVB-C) and satellite (DVB-S)tuner cards
    Do I need any other software to make MCE work?
    As MCE is essentially based around Windows Media Player 10, you will be aware that WMP cannot play DVDs until you install a suitable DVD codec. This is also the case with MCE, as until you install this MPEG2 codec, MCE won't play ANY video (including TV). So you will also need to purchase additional MCE compatible DVD player software, such as Cyberlink PowerDVD 6, Intervideo WinDVD 6, or Nvidia's DVD Decoder MPEG codec. Results can be varied using different codecs, so it is best to try a trial version of such software to see which gives you the best results before purchasing. You may find that suitable DVD software may already be supplied with some VGA or TV tuner cards.
    Anything else I need?
    You will also require an internet connection (not imperative, but certainly very useful) in order for MCE to access the internet in order to find and download TV guide listings, and album and artist information when playing CDs, MP3s and WMAs.
    Without guide information, you will have to manually schedule TV recordings, and no programme information will be available.
    If you are planning on having your Media Center in your living room, the Microsoft Remote Controller will allow you to control all aspects of the MCE interface without the need for a keyboard or mouse connected.
    If you are connecting your Media Center to your TV, then your video display device will need TV-out capabilities (S-Video or Composite). S-Video offers better picture quality over composite video, but you will need to ensure your TV supports S-Video input, otherwise you will just see black and white video.
    If your TV supports RGB inputs, then you may be able to obtain a VGA > RGB adaptor, which offers even better picture quality (search with Google, there are lots of sites about this). Many modern LCD and plasma TVs also support direct VGA / DVI inputs. VGA > RGB/SCART is only compatible with ATI Radeon VGA cards.
    Can I watch one channel while recording another?
    Yes, but you will need two identical TV devices, eg 2x DVB-T cards. You cannot have one analogue card, and one digital, as MCE presumes both hardware devices receive same channels, and can pick and choose between them. (However in the USA, you may have two analogue tuners, and one HDTV tuner)
    This is straightforward when using two identical DVB-T cards. MCE has a channel list and guide data, so for example you are watching BBC1 on one tuner, MCE uses the other tuner to record the other programme on ITV2. Both cards are receiving the same input.
    It gets a little more complicated if you want to do the same with a paid subscription service, such as NTL Cable or Sky Satellite in UK. As well as having two matching tuners (although I understand that some companies, including Hauppage, are releasing "dual-tuner" cards) you will also require two set-top boxes, with a subscription for each, as MCE needs to be able to change the channel on each set-top box seperately.

  • Windows 7 as a media center extender?

    I have a Vista Ultimate box that I use as my media center. I have a notebook with Windows 7 installed on it that I would like to use as a media center extender. Is this possible?
    For the life of me I can't seem to figure it out. My Vista machine hasn't given me the notice of a new media center PC on the network like it does when a new Vista media center shows up...
    Appreciate any guidance.... 

    Hi there, I asked the following question over at the Windows 7 beta QnA and got silence, and from what I am reading here, I thought perhaps you could answer. This may be an odd place to post new questions (in mid-discussion) but it seems on topic, and I didn't want to waste readers' time by posting a new topic.
    Will Windows 7 stream to another PC or "Play To" recorded TV files that were recorded using WMC?Will
    other Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP PCs be able to play
    recorded TV streams from a Windows 7 machine over a home network?
    If
    so, will those PCs be able to get all the show info such as title, time
    and date, episode summary, etc in order to navigate and choose the
    correct recorded TV episode?
    Another, similar question is will Windows
    7 be able to act as a software-based media center extender for another
    machine (Windows 7, Vista Home Premium or Ultimate, or XP MCE) running
    Windows Media Center?
    One more question is...is any of this possible in Windows Vista? I have one PC with Vista that I use as my media center/DVR and my other systems in the house are running Xp or Mac O/S. I can share and then access the recorded TV folder via my network and play the files on the other systems in the house (yes, even the Mac) but I don't get any of the fantastic WMC front-end UI, which turns out to be more than just a pretty wrapper slapped on it, because it also gives specific episode names, recording dates, and episode summaries, and groups the episodes per series(if desired). When combing the files via a network share, the naming convention is all convoluted and the experience is not very intuitive. I could use an extender such as the xbox 360 to watch this stuff on tv, but it is more convenient to watching on my computers.

  • New EPG download problem in Media Center

    I'm currently experiencing problems downloading the EPG guide in Windows 7 Media Center and Vista Media Center.  Over the last 2-3 weeks, the guide download has stopped working on all of my computers in Vista and 7.
    The error code is 34 and this is caused when Media Center cannot establish an connection to the internet.
    I have to connect to the internet via a proxy server/webcache.  I have contacted the network support people and they took network activity captures and
    identified a problem with Media Center not respecting the proxy/webcache settings in Internet Explorer and hence it cannot download the guide. 
    Previously, this process has worked perfectly on the network and I am told no changes have been around the time the problem started.
    This only occurs on a wired network. For the same computer connected via wireless on the same proxy/webcache, the guide sucessfully downloaded and Media
    Center respected the proxy settings.  There are multiple machines exhibiting this behaviour.
    Is anyone aware of any changes Microsoft has made to the guide download process over in the last month or so which may have resulted in this sort of
    behaviour as this appears to be a bug in Media Center.
    Thanks
    elyoh

    My Windows 7 Media Center was unable to download electronic program guides for about a month and a half.  I search all the websites and tried all the fixes to no avail.  I have an always on internet connection.  Tested my connection within
    Media Center.  I tried to reconfigure my TV.  I tried alternate zip codes within my area.  Nothing worked.  First, I found that I had NRMBMCHandler.dll (9KB) missing from my ehome directory.  (C:/Windows/ehome/NRMBMCHandler.dll). 
    I replaced the file using a copy from another computer.
    Then I found on the Microsoft Developers website instructions on Recovering a Corrupted Guide Data Store.
    1. Close Windows Media Center
    2. Open Task Scheduler (Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Schedule Tasks)
    3. In the console tree under Task Scheduler (Local), expand Task Scheduler Library>Microsoft>Windows>Media Center.
    4.  In the console window under Name, right click ObjectStoreRecoveryTask, and then click Run.
    After that action is complete, open Windows Media Center.  A message pops up telling you that the system has repaired guide listings and the listings will be downloaded.  Check your recording schedule as the repair may have interfered with scheduled
    recording. 
    After that, problem with EPG was corrected.  No reinstall was necessary.  Hope this helps others.

    Neither the Vox or the TV@nywhere cards are compatible with MCE2005. MCE2005 requires an analogue TV card capable of hardware MPEG2 encoding, or a software DVB-T (digital) card that already receives an MPEG2 video stream over-the-air.
    You can however still use the Vox or the TV@nywhere using the MSIPVS software outside of the MCE2005 application.
    the only MSI TV products compatible with MCE are the Theater 550PRO and DigiVOX

  • Media center quit working  after PSE8 install

    I just installed photoshop elements 8/premiere 8 and now my windows vista media center quit working. I have all the current windows updates.
    restarting computer doesn't help.

    I suggest that you go to the separate forum for Premiere Elements at

    There have been several discussions about Media Center and Premiere Elements 8 on that forum. It seems like some people have workarounds but I don't know the specifics.

  • Can any one help me with CD/Audio disc playback problem on media center m8200n running Windows Vista

    I have HP Media Center m8200n Dest top running WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32 BIT edition.It  has MEDIA CENTER and MEDIA PLAYER. I experience problems with the computer being able to play CD music discs.  What happens is that the Disc will play only for 63 seconds exactly and then stop playing the track, the player will then skip tracks, settle on another one, play it for a few moments and then skip to the end and then play nothing. It gives me an error message that it cannot read the disc.  This happens with any and every standard store bought CD new or used. These CDs also do play on my laptop running basically same operating system.  This happens whether I trying to Play a disc or burn the disc to the hard drive.  The drives work great though as they do play DATA discs all the way through. MP3 discs play fine.  It also plays the DVD movies with no problem. Windows media player doesn't make it work, also installed VLC player and REALPLAYER to try some other players and they also don't work for music, only DVDs. They all only produce 63 seconds of music play back  from a disc. I've already tried Changing ENHANCEMENTS, UPDATING DRIVERS, UNINSTALLING THE DISC DRIVE and then re-installing back into WINDOWS but none of that helped. SYSTEM came with the integrated REALTEK HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO on the mother boad for multi channel playback options and I've downloaded those updated drivers again but that doesn't do anything.  Thinking it might be a hardware drive problem I purchased a new LG BLU-RAY DRIVE/BURNER super multi drive which plays fantastic for any video format from Blu-Ray to regular DVD format with the Power DVD software but the machine is causing even this new drive to have the same problem with the audio and it cuts out playing the audio disc within the same 63 seconds running audio disc. . There seems to be a software glitch and I'm wondering if you can help.  Also the sound card seems to work perfectly fine. I downloaded I-Tunes and copied over audio files to the computer via my flash drive and when I play those files from the hard drive, or even the sample windows media files which reside on the hard drive in MY MUSIC, all files play through perfectly, fully, and with great sound. Audio out jacks in back of computer work fine as also does the front head phone jacks upfront. Something in the software when playing a audio disc/file through the dic drives???? I've got hundreds of CD and it's a bummer not beng able to lay them through the system. Does anyone think moving from VISTA PREMIUM to a upgraded version like ULTIMATE or even going up to Windows 7 might solve problem??? What about the 32 bit verses 64 bit editions??? My system should be able to run in the 64 bit frame work also. THANK YOU in advance!!!

    Hi,
    All dimms work individually?  Did you run a bootable memory diagnostic to determine the reliability? Did you run a diagnostic on the hard drive?  I believe that your PC came with PC Doctor and that you can create a bootable diagnostic disk. Did you create that disk?  Be sure to purchase memory dimms from a manufacturer that will stand behind their product with a guarantee such as Crucial, Corsair or Kingston. Buy directly from the manufacturer and they will stand behind the guarantee. Be sure that all of the dimms are identical. Use CPU-Z to determine that the specifications are indeed identical.
    You have some options to consider once you can stablize your PC for updating the BIOS.
    Locate a hard drive and use the HP external recovery media to build a VISTA system. -- safest method
    Use a VISTA repair disk and at the command prompt try executing the HP BIOS update (Admin). -- safe
    Try a bootable BIOS update process as suggested at this site. --  less safe but doable
