Media Centre 3 Security Settings MEGA barebone

Hi,
I am having problems getting the MSI Media Centre Deluxe 3 to run properly my MEGA 865 on user accounts in Windows XP. It works fine in the Administrator account, however when it comes to the User account the program wouldn't start. I then gave the use accounts permission to access the MSI folder, and then the program starts however the remote control does not function nor does the LCD display activate. Has anyone tried this before and could tell what I need to set?
Thanks in advance.
This is my config:
Mega PC  Deluxe
P4 HT 3.0 GHz
2*512Mb Ram PC3200
MS8606 Tuner
Liteon 812S DVD
Samsung 160 GB
Windows Xp Professional

Can the radio be activated using the keyboard? Which version of MC do you use?
There is a program called sysdiag.exe located in the MC directory. If you select MC on the Intervideo tab it will show which files MC uses....
Does it say something weird?
Greetings,
Peter Vrenken.

  • TV with Media Centre

    First of all i cant believe you cant talk to anyone at MSI on the phone what the hell is that all about.
    I have a Mega 856 Pro PC with MS Media Centre 2005 and a Mega MSI TV Card.
    when u select TV in set up on the media centre it says there isnt one, and the tv program u get with the card, starts to tune in some channels that look rubbish but u cant select anything. Can anyone help at all before i go mad. 

    MCE 2005 is very picky.. I just installed it on my Mega 180 2 days ago. It wouldn't work with the MSI 8606 tuner.. so I went with the AVerMedia M150 card. Its cheap (about $55 on Newegg.com).  Then, the tricky part is finding a MPEG2 decoder that will work with the Windows XP MCE 2005 operating system. I went thru almost all my programs I had and finally Cyberlink's PowerDVD 6 v1102 worked flawlessly. I have the Microsoft MCE remote ($29.99) and everything working perfect. It sure beats the original Mega remote and Media Center Deluxe III.. I love it so far.
    So what you need to do is just get a compadible TV Tuner. Stick by exactly what it says on the Microsoft website, or else u will run into conflicts. Also stick with what it says on their site about video cards and DVD Decoder codecs. Those happened to be the main issues for nearly everyone I talked to.

  • MSI MEGA 180 Media Centre Full Screen Button

    I have a MEGA 180 with Media Centre III and was wondering if there was a button on the remote that does full screen instead of having to start the item you wish then trying to navigate to the button and pressing ok?
    This is for the sections such as MP3 mode for the visulisations or Video Clip mode for full screen home movies.
    I have tried all of the buttons but none of them seem to work.
    Any help would be apprecitated
    Cheers.

    That makes the MCDIII run in full screen, but the video (etc) still runs in a window inside the MCDIII App. The only ways I found were to set the settings to auto maximise the display, or to press the button to the bottom right of the picture. Also I found there was no way of getting back to menu mode without using the keyboard (unless you were prepared to navigate the buttons without seeing them!!!).
    This made MCDIII totaly unsuitable as a remote controlled application, and hence I binned it. I now use MediaPortal which works well. Just need to find a better way of getting the DVD filters to work.

  • Mega sky 580 and Windows Media Centre

    First of all, hello to you all! this is the first time i have ever uesd a forum, and i hope that someone can help me.
    Just yesturday a purcahsed a mega sky 580, with the intention to use it with windows media centre.  It does work ok in media center but there is one thing that bothers me and that is the aspect.
    As some chanels are transmitted in widescreen, i.e. BBC 1 you get the two blak lines at the top and bottom of the screen when watching it on a non-widescreen telly, which is fine if the program is in widescreen but if it is not you also get two black lines down the side of the screen.  this means that there is a massive amount of the screen not being used.
    Is there anyway to change the aspect so that the tv picture fills the screen? ... on my old digi box there an option for centre zoom, is there something like that offered either by the 580 or media centre.
    Thanks for any help!

    in Media Center, press the (i) More button on your remote, and then select 'Zoom'
    BBC broadcasts all its output in 16:9 format, even older recordings which were not widescreen, hence the black side bars on 4:3 shows. the BBC channels are the only ones that do this, other channels will automatically switch from 16:9 to 4:3

  • MEGA 180 Media Centre Product Key

    Does anyone know how I can get a product key for MSI Media Centre?
    It is a legal copy that I got with the computer in April, but the key is printed on the Paper CD wallet, which I can't find!!!!!
    Many thanks in advance,
    Themac

    the serial key included with the download is:
    VBMK844FOLEXHAI
    it is in the serial.txt file, so it must be a generic code, like with the MSIPVS, which had the same code printed on every CD. seems a bit pointless to me, as its a free download anyway...

  • Qosmio G20 - Microsoft Media Centre Edition - ehExtHost.exe Error

    I have started getting ehExtHost.exe Errors on my Qosmio G20 when switch the Media Centre Edition screen to record a TV programme.
    Common Language Runtime Debugging Service id=0x17d4 (6100) and id=0x138 (312)
    I have a look around the web and found some comments about Norton screwing up NET settings, I have just updated Norton Internet Security to the 2009 version so this is possible.
    I also get a message with something about not being able to connect to Windows Messenger though not sure why it would want to.
    I recorded a programme and it was OK when I played it back.
    Has anyone any ideas how to fix this problem (or problems?)?

    Googling around you can find so many reports about this issue. I also found one interesting article about this. Please check it out. Maybe it will help you to solve this.

  • Minimum specs for use as a media centre?

    I would like to have a Mac Mini hooked up to my tv to use as a media centre. i have worked out that i will be able to use it without a keyboard mouse etc by setting it up so front row or vlc load up on boot and using the remote, so am ok there...
    my question is this - what is the recomended spec for it to be able to play hd movie rips in .mkv/mp4 format? i have a 1.25ghgz emac an that suffers horribly so i want something that will do the job effortlessly. obviously i could just buy the very latest MM but am looking to save a bit of cash if possible!
    thanks for any advice...

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It might help to know in what way the 1.25 eMac suffers horribly in this situation, because in reality, the media centre functions of a system don't require particularly high performance or system specifications. For example, I have a 1.5 G4 mini hooked up to a TV, use Front Row to play mp4 movie files and either VLC or DVD player to play DVDs and it performs pretty well. The quality of image of the mp4 playback depends on settings when the files were ripped more than anything, and the overall quality of image depends a lot on the TV rather than the system.
    It must be said that the almost any of the Intel minis is considerably more powerful than your eMac, but in itself, power isn't necessarily the answer!

  • Qosmio G20: Media Centre Receiver issue - Recovery question

    As abvoe really, I usually leave my computer running overnight and yesterday I went on it to find that I had 80mb of hard drive space left (60 gig hard drive). Error messages had been popping up and a record of these was saved in the pchealth folder, under userdumps, or something like that. Anyway I deleted 58gigs worth of these userdumps but the same error message kept cropping up.
    It was an error with the Media Centre Receiver, but I'm not sure entirely what this is, but it was based in the ehome folder which I think is located in the main Windows folder.
    I've been into msconfig and stopped the ehhome.exe from starting at at startup but that seems to mess up the video/tv settings within Media Centre.
    I recently installed codec's and a divx player to play divx movies.
    I just wondered wether it would be safer to use the recovery CD and re-install windows and the software and create a restore point, then install the codecs again to see if the same problem arises, or whether anyone has had this problem and cured it.
    Finally, I did actually run the recovery cd with a view to doing the above, but when the cd boots the first line in dos says something like, 'running setup for windows 98'. Surely XP is on the recovery cd and not 98?
    Can anybody please confirm this for me and any answers to the above problems.
    Thanks.

    Hi Simon
    Please dont panic. On recovery DVD there is definitely WXP MCE and if you see the first few words where is written Win98 that doesnt mean anything specially. If you use recovery media you will make clean OS installation.
    Now to your problem: I didnt understood you right which problem you have but the fact is when you record the TV program all the night it is possible that the HDD will be full. In the best quality one hour recorded material needs about 12 GB (in my case). If it runs a few hours the HDD will be full.
    It is not easy to give you any precise answers because we dont know anything about your personal settings and preinstalled software. I have also G20 and I can tell you definitely that all recorded content will not be saver under PCHEALTH folder. How it happen in your case I really dont know.
    Good luck!

  • Widows Media Centre - Sound but no TV Reception

    My PC is an HP Pavilion Elite m9346.uk-a running Windows Vista Home Premium x64 Service Pack 2.
    Recently, for reasons unknown to me, Windows Media Centre with Hauppauge Win-TV HVR-1200 (Model 71 xxx, Hybrid DVB-T, No FP) stopped receiving TV pictures but continues to receive sound on each TV channel. 
    I use a DV B-T antenna and configure Windows Media settings on this.  It appears to download all the available channels correctly but will only receive sound.
    I can play standard DVD and bluray discs without a problem but, as stated, cannot receive a TV picture, which I received on the same settings in the past.
     I have tried to resolve the problem using Microsoft Fix it but without success.
    Can you assist please?

  • Media Centre III and Hauppauge nova-t

    Hi,
    I realise that the manual for media centre III sais digital tv cards not supported but does anyone know if they ever will be an update so they are supported. Its a shame as I think the media centre III (mega 180) is a great program.

    The PC version is now called OMP [Open Media Portal] Its meant for any current windows platform, [double check the specs] but many have been testing it with XP Pro/Home with good success. Remember, very early beta!!!!
    Probably dependant on your Tuner Card, etc......

  • Roxio Easy Media Centre "the certificate file is missing"

    Having purchased a new Curve 8320 I installed the Desktop Software.  Everything OK until I tried to open the media file application.  Received message - Roxio Easy Media Centre "the certificate file is missing or has been corrupted please reinstall it".  I have been on line and remooved the program as directed.  I have done the HotKey "shuffle!"  I have disabled my Trend security and reinstalled.  Still not worked.  I have downloaded another program and repeated the above.  Still not worked!!  Getting very frustrated.  I am using Windows Vista Home premium with Service Pack 1.  The Desktop Software is (I think) 4.2.2.

    Two resolutions are defined as UHDTV:
    - 4K UHDTV (2160p) has a resolution of 3840 × 2160 (8.3 megapixels)
    4 times the pixels of 1920 × 1080 (2.1 megapixels).
    - 8K UHDTV (4320p) has a resolution of 7680 × 4320 (33.2 megapixels)
    16 times the pixels of current 1080p HDTV, which brings it closer to
    the detail level of 15/70mm IMAX.  NHK advocates the 8K UHDTV
    format with 22.2 surround sound as Super Hi-Vision.

    I'm not sure where the "hd(4096x3112)" resolution you quote comes
    from, but it is possible to change the export resolution and pixel
    aspect ratio of many formats in Media Encoder to whatever you like.

  • Windows Media Centre on 8.1 - Please Help

    I am an IT professional... I've spent the last 30 minutes going round in an endless loop of pathetic instructions that lead me nowhere. I'm trying to install Windows Media Centre on Windows 8.1 Pro.
    I firstly found this page:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs
    Following the instructions
    "Enter add
    features in the search box, and then tap or click Settings."
    Either takes me back to the same webpage in the URL above or to the legacy "Add/Remove" Windows features, neither of which is helpful.
    So I looked up another page:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/get-started-with-windows-media-center
    Enter Windows
    Media Center in the search box, and then tap or click Windows
    Media Center.
    The only result for this as it isn't installed, is a web page. Which surprise, takes me around in another loop eventually back to the same web page after clicking eventually on
    the link that says "Get it".
    I can only assume there is something that is supposed to be appearing about adding features to the OS that actually isn't showing at all. 
    This entire experience is absolutely unacceptable. 
    Can someone PLEASE provide for me simple instructions to install this feature that actually work or resemble in the slightest what I am seeing on the actual operating system.

    Try the procedure at http://www.ghacks.net/2013/09/18/install-media-center-pack-windows-8-1/ - just hit the Windows key and type features when the Start screen
    appears.
    There is no box to type in, just type the word.

  • WRT110 "Retrieving security settings"

    hello! Set-up was a breeze! now, onto the portion when i want to connect other devices to my network.
     I clicked on add device.
      it asked me to input my portable media device which i did,
     and then it says retrieving security settings
    and sits there for over an hour and has done nothing, i tried restarting the process but to the same result.
    On a side note though i am able to connect to my laptop to the internet still, so is this process really necessary? or is it so it will show up under lela?

    So i assume you are trying to add the Device into your Routers network using LELA software. Well you dont required that software to add your devices to your Router. As you router is working fine and if you are able to go online, then you just need to connect your Device to the Router and you should be able to go online.
