Digital Cable Advisor Missing From W7 Ultimate x64 After Full Install

I recently installed a new hard drive, and I did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and when I go to Windows Media Center, the digital cable advisor is not located in Extras. I previously did the "upgrade in place" from Vista Ultimate x64 to W7, ran the advisor, plugged in my ATI Digital Cable Card Tuner, and was good to go. I cannot use the tuner without running the advisor. I am using Windows 7 that I downloaded from the the Technet web site, of which I am a member. Any ideas?
Edit - I figured it out. When you do a fresh install, running the advisor is not necessary, therefore it is not offered.. WMC will install Play Ready, and then update Play Ready to make your PC digital ready.
New development - When I attempt to access my premium channels (HBO, SHO, Starz, Encore), it gives me a message that my "PC is not digital ready", and to go to settings and "activate digital TV". I try to do that, and it tells me that my PC is not digital ready, therfore, I cannot use a cable card tuner, which is BS because I have every other channel on the cable card (in the 200's and 300's, which regular cable will not give you), to include all HD channels coming in just fine. I still don't have the digital cable advisor in my WMC Extras so that I can run it, which will supposedly make my PC "digital ready". My copy is activated, and my index score is 7.4. I have Comcast cable tv. I am at a loss... Anyone have any ideas/suggestions

Thank you for the response. Below are my responses.
1. Did the TV work in Windows Media Center in Windows Vista? I used a Hauppauge 1800 PVR in Vista and Windows 7 after I did the upgrade in place, which did not require running the Digital Cable Advisor. I then switched to the ATI Digital Cable Card Tuner while using Windows 7, I ran the Digital Cable Advisor, and the card worked fine. I installed a new hard drive and did a full install of Windows 7, and the Digital Cable Advisor is not there.
2. If you cannot locate the Digital Cable Advisor in the Extras Library, then check that automatic downloads are enabled in your Media Center Settings (Settings | General | Automatic Download Options).   Automatic downloads are enables in WMC. In fact, when I installed the cable card tuner, WMC downloaded and installed PlayReady, and then updated Playready during the setup in WMC.
3. It also can be the TV Tuner and Graphics card driver issue, please update BIOS, Graphics, TV Tuner and chipset drivers to the latest version. Everything is up to date. I built this computer (I am not a novice), and the ATI card updated the firmware version when I installed it while it was running in Windows 7 after the original upgrade in place. I also checked the firmware version after the full installation of W7, and it has the latest firmware version. Windows 7 Automatic Updates downloaded the latest ATI cable card driver from Microsoft. I am using a brand new graphics card (listed in my 1st post), and the drivers are the latest signed drivers from the AMD/ATI website.
4. You can also try the following steps:
(1.)     Click the start button, try CMD, right click on CMD and choose Run as Administrator.
(2.)     In Command prompt window, type the following commands and press Enter at the end of each line:
cd \
cd c:\Windows\ehome
start /wait mcupdate -u –nogc
After that, restart Windows Media Center to check if it works now.
I will try the above steps when I get home.
4. If not, you may want to reset Windows Media Section:
(1.) Open Control Panel/Programs and Features.
(2.) Click "Turn Windows features on or off" in the left pane.
(3.) Expand "Media Features", uncheck "Windows Media Center". Click "Yes" to continue, and click OK to quit. Then Restart.
Note: You may need to re-configure settings for Windows Media Center after re-enabling it.
(4.) Open "Turn Windows features on or off" again. Turn on the features "Windows Media Player" and "Windows Media Center". Restart.
I have tried the following three times, the Digital Cable Advisor still does not show up in WMC Extras
What I do not understand is that the cable card is running in W7 and shows all channels except the premium channels (SHO, HBO, Encore, and Starz), when I attempt those, I get the "your PC is not Digital Ready, therefore, you cannot use a cable card" screen. Additionally it is now happening when I attempt to watch A&E (HD). It is not the card, which ran fine in Windows 7 after the upgrade in place from Vista. This did not happen until I performed a full installation.

HT203167 My App Store icon is missing from ipad and won't re-install?

My App Store icon is missing from ipad and won't re-install? You can't delete it so where is it?

If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Indesign CS6 " The program can't start because Core Foundation_v11.dll is missing from your computer. Try re-installing the program to fix the problem"

Hi all
I'm running Indesign CS6 in Windows 7. Lately, when the program is opening, I'm getting the error pop-up: " The program can't start because Core Foundation_v11.dll is missing from your computer. Try re-installing the program to fix the problem" When I click OK the program continues to load as normal, with nothing abnormal going on that I can see. I'd like to get rid of the error message though. I've tried re-installing, and scanning for problems with several anti-virus and anti-malware programs, all to no avail (no sign of any virus or malware). Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to restore the missing file? Many thanks for any help.
Wayne

With a bit more searching I found the source of the problem. For anyone interested it's explained here
Missing file: CoreFoundation_v11x64.dll
I tried to install a trial of Extensis Suitcase last week but for some reason it failed to install. It was after that I started noticing the error message, but because Suitcase had failed to load I didn't connect the two events! After reading the above thread implicating Suitcase, I looked in the InDesign plugins folder and, lo and behold, a folder called Font Activation that contained Extensis files! I moved them out and the error message is gone!
Thanks again to P Spier and thanks to Adobe for these forums.

Creative Cloud icon disappeared from Apple Tool Bar after I installed some CC updates. Does somebody know what the problem can be?

Creative Cloud icon disappeared from Apple Tool Bar after I installed some CC updates. Does somebody know what the problem can be?

I had a similar issue. I closed the Cloud icon, and when I went to open it again, it just died.
I uninstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, went to the Adobe CC download page and requested a trial copy of PS, being sure to enter my CC name and password. It then reinstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, and all is working again (I hope).

Photos missing from Recently Added, Collections after IOS8 update

After I uptaded my IPad Air to IOS 8, photos were missing from Recently Added and Collections. (I understand Camera Roll and Photo Stream are gone.) My Recently Added photos dated to June (it's September) and my shared IPhone photos were missing from both the Collections/Moments where everything is supposed to be now. Photos In Last Import are also from June. I was fumbling through the Comminties threads and found a partial solution on a related IPhone thread. I can't figure out how to link to it, but someone called Apple tech and they suggested going to Settings/Photos & Camera and toggling My Photo Stream off and then on again. I was reluctant to do this since a pop-up warns that all photos in your stream will be deleted. But as soon as I did it, aphotos started downloading to the Recently Added. They're out of chronological order, and there are duplicates, but at least they haven't all disappeared. (Also, not w complaint, but my Recently Added goes back to 2011, not 30 days.) Photos are still missing from Last Import and Collections. Any other ideas? At least now this feels recoverable, I'll put everything in Albums quick.

Tools menu is missing items I am expecting after I install extensions and other oddities

In the process of installing and customizing Firefox 3..6.4 on a new laptop, I noticed that when I expand the Tools menu, I do not see items for a number of the extensions I installed, which I see in Firefox on my old system.
For example, I installed the "PDF Download" extension and did not see a selection for "PDF Download - Options" in the Tools menu. I installed quite a number of extensions and in summary, the Tools Menu never changed one bit.
A different example. After I installed the Launchy extension. I went to customize my tool bar but the button for Launchy was not available to add to my toolbar.
Yet another example of strangeness was after I installed IE Tab. When I right-clicked on a link the "Open link in IE Tab" did not show up in the menu..
I tried doing a clean uninstall of Firefox following instructions from several websites and then reinstalling Firefox. Regardless of what I did, I was unable to see the expected items in the Tools menu after installing my selected extensions.
Things start to get weird. I performed a clean uninstall of Firefox 3.6.4 and downloaded and installed Firefox 3.5.10 and proceeded to install all of the extensions I had installed on my other system. Most of the items I was expecting to see in the Tool menu were there, BUT there were several lines that were blank which did not do anything when I selected them.
I was able to determine that they were related to the AdBlock Plus, downthemall! and fireftp extensions. Once I uninstalled them, the empty lines in the menu disappeared. I tried reinstalling them one by one to see if any of them would appear correctly in the menu, but adblock plus and downthemall did not. I left FireFTP installed and left adblock plus and downthemall! uninstalled.
I then upgraded from 3.5.10 to 3.6.4 to see if all of the Tools menu items would remain. They did remain.... I then tried to install adblock plus and downthemall! but there was no change to the Tools menu, considering that in Firefox 3.5.10 I was getting empty lines in the tools menu for where I should see "Adblock Plus Preferences" and "DownThemAll! Tools".
Not sure what is going on here, but something odd is definitely going on here. I have not tried to install any other extensions, but my gut instinct is that I will see more issues when I install new extensions.

I had a similar problem and could not get FireFTP to show in the Tools menu and did as someone else suggested (amongst other things), I 'Disabled' the ZoneAlarm Toolbar through 'Add-ons' on the Tools menu and presto FireFTP appeared on the Tools menu after restart. Good luck

HDMI Digital output (HDMI) missing from playback list

Hello,
My HDMI cable no longer plays sounds through my TV speakers, only my laptop speakers.
There use to be an HDMI Digital ouput in the playback list in the Sound options, but it does not show up anymore.
Can someone please advise what I can do to fix this?
Thanks!!

Hello Eehyo
What is your computer model and what operating system are you using? Has anything changed recently such as software updates and when did it first start happening? Does the video still display from the HDMI port?
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

Pages, Keynote and Number apps missing from OS X Yosemite after restoring it to factory defaults

Recently my macbook pro OS X Yosemite experienced some problems, so I decided to reset it to factory defaults. Now, everything works well, except for the fact that built in apps Pages, Keynote and Numbers are missing: what can I do? The App Store says I need to pay for them again, but I clearly remember (and checked again on the apple website) that the apps were built-in and not purchased. Is there anyway I can get them back without paying for them, since I clearly already have?
Thank you!

If you previously associated them with an Apple ID, log in with it, click on the Purchases tab, and download them from there. This is free.
If not or you don't have access to it, click here and contact Apple.

Does anyone have problems with the lightening to USB cable when charging from an outlet? After 6 months of use, it seems to wear out as a result of twisting caused by using the iPad while charging?

Does anyone else have problems with the lightening to USB cables, particularly the longer version, when using the iPad and charging at the same time?
If so, am I doing anything wrong?

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee
Cheers, Gerd

Lost Serialized Insert from PC Ultimate Software Suite-Cannot Install Full Version of Photoshop Elements 12

I purchased a Dell Inspiron laptop which was bundled with PC Ultimate Software Suite, a collection of programs on one disc. It included Adobe Photoshop Elements 12, but I misplaced the insert that contained the serial key. I still have the sleeve that the CD was bundled with, as well as the CD itself. Is there anyway I can still download the full version of Photoshop Elements 12 without having to buy the program separately or buying Software Suite again?

If Dell provided the bundle you should contact Dell to see about getting a replacement or the serial for the disk.

Ghost taskbar in Vista Ultimate x64 after undocking T61p with external displays

I use my T61p with the advanced docking station and two external monitors (DVI + VGA).
Frequently when I undock, my taskbar becomes a ghost, in that I only can see a small line that comes up (I have it in autohide) yet totally transparent. No content. I can get it to come back by "killing" the explorer task, and restarting that manually. Yet this erases the power manager part of the lenovo tools in the taskbar.
Anyone any idea why this would be happening?
I do press the undock button, and wait for the "undock complete" message before I physically take it out of the dock.
I have tried to find a reproducable sequence, but have not found any. It does not do it all the time. Just occasionally.
I guess it must be some driver issue, but was wondering if anyone has seen the same.
Message Edited by oskarbosch on 02-16-2009 11:30 AM

could this problem be related to the graphics BSOD and Computer Shutoffs we are see-ing in T61p's?
have you tried running any games like Bioshock, Crisis or Call of Duty 4 ? The demo versions would be enough to tell if its the same thing.
also are both RAM slots used for your memory ?

Messages missing from all sub-folders after deleted one sub-folder

I had a folder with sub-folders ... one of which had a large number of emails. I deleted one sub-folder because I no longer wanted it and any of the emails. Now when I go to another folder in that sub-folder, it only has one message ... presumably those received after I deleted the sub-folder. When I did a search on the "from" address, I see a large number of subjects but when I click on the subject all I get is the following:
"The message from xxx concerning yyy has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
Firstly, these messages were downloaded and secondly the account is online.
It looks like deleting a sub-folder deletes the contents of all other folders in the main folder. This is terrible and certainly not what I understood should happen. I saw another message about losing emails when an account is deleted, but I move all of my emails out of the account folders immediately.
I suspect I won't be able to recover these messages but this is very scary. Can anyone explain what happened ... and let me know whether it is possible to recover them?

I have fixed my mail folders so I thought I should document what I did for the sake of others who might have the same problem.
When I deleted the sub-folder, Mail screwed up the indexes for all of the sub-folders in the same folder. I used Finder to look at the folders and the mail items were there too. So I decided to try to import them back into Mail and that worked. It fixed up the indexes and everything is there. There were a few duplicate entries ... but that was easy to fix.
I'll report a bug.
