Bootcamp and Media Center 2005

I have a full version of media center intended for any pc and whenever i try to install it on my macbook pro via leopard, the entire install process will go through, but after install i boot to windows and i get a disk error. Any ideas. I was able to install this exact same OS via the bootcamp beta, and even after the upgrade to leopard, the MCE 2005 os worked. But after i did a comlete os install of leopard, i can no longer use leopards boot camp to install this os successfully. Any ideas, or where can i get a old copy of bootcamp beta?

I just installed Windows w/Media Center 2005 on my iMac core2duo 2GHz 2GB ram with Leopard two nights ago. I received the same issue on my first install attempt. Boot camp creates a Fat32 partition, so I used the convert to NTFS when I installed Media Center. I thought it worked until the restart. I had to reformat the partition NTFS and install again. This time with no problems.

video doesn't display video on media center screen
what nvidia drivers are you using here? need 53.04 or later for MCE support
does any video play, Live TV, DVD, other video? make sure you have a compatible MPEG2/DVD decoder installed (PowerDVD 6+, WinDVD 6+, Nvidia PureVideo Decoder etc)

RE: HP XP Media Center 2005 Ed will not boot from HP System Restore CD's

RE: HP XP Media Center 2005 Ed will not boot from HP System Restore CD's.
The following instructions about the "Code Purple" error FAILED. Error is still present.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
***PLAIN ENGLISH QUICK AND EASY FIX FOR ALL SYSTEMS****
***Windows 7 code purple or Windows Vista code purple***
With the code purple error on the screen, press shift+f10 (the shift key and the F10 key (at the top of the keyboard) at the same time) to open a little screen called a command prompt. (So, you get a little black screen with white text that says something about your Windows verison first and a little ways down you'll see "C:\>".   It's all ready for you to start typing.)
Type the following line, just as you see it here...
notepad C:\hp\bin\checkdmi\checkdmi.cmd
so it will look like this
C:\>notepad C:\hp\bin\checkdmi\checkdmi.cmd
Press Enter.
You will see the text for the file listed in a window using a simple text editor.
Go to the beginning of the text. Press enter to make a space. Type this...
goto cleanup
So, whatever comes after, the first line looks like this...
goto cleanup
Save the file and exit notepad and restart your PC. You are good to go.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
RESULT: Same error and problem.
So, NOW THE SCENARIO IS THIS...[ And A CHALLANGE TO ALL HP Software EXPERTS]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1. The PC will not boot the System Restore CD's
2. The Original OS install and [HP_RECOVERY] disk sector has been severely damaged by
all of the following:
   A. Massive Virus Infections as shown by Kaspersky Virus Scan and cleaned up.
   B. The user had originally updated the pc to Vista Business Express Upgrade
       (Supplied by HP with the original purchase and warranty).
        (Prior to the upgrade, Media Center was working correctly.)
   C. The original OS product key(XP Media Center Ed. 2005) has been changed by the Vista Business Express upgrade.
   D. The destructve recovery done by PC-Doctor has done user file damage(s).
   E. All software, and possibly hardware could be corrupted & damaged by viruses,
   incomplete recovery, and the unknown failures and conditions.
To sum up, the system is locked in an unknown state, waiting for expert help.
(I can allow and manage to let someone diagnose, repair remotely using another OS i.e.Linux Opensuse 12.1, or XP Home ed if needed.)
SO IF YOU THINK YOU ARE UP TO THIS CHALLANGE, SEND MESSAGES TO DAVHPForum anytime. Thanks in advance!

Acrobat 9 Products with Windows XP Media Center 2005

Hello,
I'm wondering if any users are running Acrobat 9 Standard or Pro on Windows XP Media Center 2005. I'm currently annotating pdfs for a client but was leery of purchasing Standard or Pro because Media Center is not mentioned under the System Requirements for these products (only Windows XP Home, Professional, and Tablet PC editions are listed). So I had my client enable the pdfs for annotation and then send them to me. I began annotating them in Acrobat Reader 9. This worked for less than a day, and then when I reopened the documents, I received a message saying "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available." The Comment & Markup toolbar and the Comments option under Documents have disappeared, and I can no longer make changes to the documents.
Do other users have issues with Standard, Pro, or Reader operating on Media Center? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It will work on either of those operating systems.

Low DVD and Media Center TV Vol

I am having a volume problem with DVD movies and Media Center, particularly TV. Sound quality and volume in other applications is great, but if I try to watch TV or a DVD at the same settings I can barely hear the audio.
I have a new Dell XPS 400, running Windows XP Media Center 2005. I have an Audigy 2 ZS soundcard and Dell 5250 5. surround speakers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you should also look through the TV@nywhere forum, applies to all MSI TV Tuners
i think the first thing you should do is update your TV tuner drivers...

Looking to make the leap from Windows XP Media Center 2005 to a new Operating system

Looking to make the leap from Windows XP Media Center 2005 to a new Operating system that supports Microsoft Publisher 2002, Word 2003, Excel 2003, Power Point 2000 and Picture Manager 2003. Need to make the leap since some of my other software is requiring
a system software upgrade to upload any other upgrades (Garmin for example). I ran windows 8.1 software compatibility check and know this software will not work on 8.1. Does anyone know if this software works on Windows 7, 7 Pro, or Ultra?

Hi Paul,
You may take a try with Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to see if your PC is ready for Windows 7. It scans your hardware, devices, and installed programs for known compatibility issues, gives you guidance on how
to resolve potential issues found, and recommends what to do before you upgrade.
You could download it from here:
Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
If you want to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7, you may follow the guide below:
Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7
Besides, I would agree with what Team Zigzag suggested, run Windows 8.1 and create a Windows XP virtual Machine, then run the applications from there.
Best regards

Qosmio F10-125: Picture Enhancement Utility & Media Center 2005

I have an F10-125 and when Toshiba Picture Enhancement Utility is on and Fn F5 is in LCD mode only and you use Media Center 2005 their is a bright mark in all screens in right hand botton of LCD Screen and it is not a dead pixel. I have tried everything and even saw the same model with the same fault in a shop.
But disabling Toshiba Picture Enhancement Utility the mark goes in Media Center but so does the excellent picture quality. is their a conflick between Media Centre 2005 and Toshiba Picture Enhanement Utilty or is their away of getting rid of the bright mark.
Many Thanks

Hi David
Can you please be more specific about Toshiba Picture Enhancement Utility is on? In my opinion you can start this utility, make some desired setting and confirm with OK. Close Picture Enhancement Utility and after that start Media Center.
Did you check is this mark present on some other case like playing DVD or something like that?

Mega 180 and Media Center III----looks perfect----is it??

I DON'T want to shell out $1000 for cheap HP/Compaq or whatever which includes Media Center Edition
But I DO like the look and features of Microsoft's Media Center Edition.
In the Manual for the MEGA 180-----Media Center III looks perfect for what I want.
Am thinking of a Mega 180 using onboard video, the MSI TV/Tuner Card, onboard SoundStorm---and a cheap Barton. I already have 2 x 512 of NVidia recommended PC2700 RAM for use with the onboard and almost all other parts----but by the time I'm done----I'd be shelling out around $400
The manual makes everything look good "on paper"----but I see from this forum their are "issues".
Did/does MSI support the 651 model well?? Bios updates----utility and driver updates??
This thing looks like a tremendous alternative to a Microsoft Media Center Edition overpriced machine. And I'm willing to do driver updates and Bios updates----heck, I love a challenge----I just don't like a product that lies about what it can really do.
Worth it----or should I pass.....
Thanks-----John

Good Luck,

I believe that function is only for viewing the videos from the preview window to fullscreen. I don't think it enables/disables "stretch mode" but i'll try that tonight.
if it works i'll post it here. if not ... well .... same thing i guess

SRW248G4P and media center extender

I have a SRW248G4P 48 port POE switch and a few DMA2100 Media Center Extenders all hardwired. When everything is connected to the switch the extenders cannot connect or be detected by the Windows 7 Media Center PC. However, when I switch all of the cabling over to the 4 ports on the router (RV042) everything connects and operates as usual.
Any Ideas as to what the problem my be?
Thanks,
Aaron

Did you assign static IP address to your Media extender? If not that may be the reason why it is not working. This is because, RV042 has DHCP capability that assign IP address to its client. On the other hand SRW248G4P doesn't have DHCP capability and if you connected your DMA2100 devices to the switch it will not get any IP address to be part of the network.

FIOS and Media Center

My Media Center PC has lost the TV signal, and will not configure. TV tuner card supports digital tv, card is working, and replaced the cable, but still no signal. Verizon support wasn't terribly helpful - any ideas? Could the switch to all digital last month now require a converter/set top box, even though the tuner card says it supports digital?

The over-the-air FCC shut-off boxes receive 8-VSB DTV and convert it to NTSC. FiOS boxesreceive 256-QAM DTV and convert it to NTSC. They are absolutely NOT the same. On the bright side, up to three are free from Verizon, AND they receive any SD signal you are subscribed to on your regular STB, not just the Off-Airs and PEGs. It is a GREAT deal. Get some before they start charging. I think they will just send them to you if you ask.

Mega 180 Radio working under XP Media Center 2005

Hello,
i'm quite fond about Windows XP Media Center 2K5 and would like it to control the Mega 180's radio unit. I would like to know if there are people that have already looked for ways to control the radio. It could be a start to implement some kind of Media Center plugin...
Greetings,
Peter Vrenken

the problem is the fact that the radio tuner isn't a "physical" device that Windows recognises
damn MSI and their proprietory hardware!! surely some sort of USB tuner "hardwired" to the USB controller would have been a better solution? grr, but then how would that have worked in Hi-Fi mode...

XBox and Media Center on Boot Camp

My PC just died so I installed Windows 7 on one of my macs and really all I use it for it Windows Media Center to stream movies to my XBox 360. I went through the windows 7 install and all was good. When I tried to get my XBox to see the media center, it would not see it. Is this just not compatable?
Thanks,
Andrew

I tried doing a search and found nothing. The link you gave does not help either. I know how to set up the xbox as an extender. Was working fine when I connected it to a Dell with windows 7. Now that the dell died I moved windows 7 to my iMac with boot camp. Now it will not connect. I try to connect but I am never given a code. Its like the xbox doesnt see the computer. Is there something extra I need to do being that this is on mac hardware? Is it just not compatible?
