Cd/dvd burner hp pavilion a1253w desktop w/ media center edition 2005

my burner stopped working will not recognize either cds or dvds light will flash will not load , i know it is a samsung drive , my question is the org drive is ide cable can i change over to sata without any conflicts , m/b has sata connector plug-ins , if uninstall the org drive from my device manager install replacement cd/dvd drive will the device manager recognize it also will the org software work will the new cd/dvd drive ? i use convert x to dvd software to burn movies for myself , i,m thinking of buying a lite-on cd/dvd multi-drive burner with lightscribe the org drive came with that , also the org burnt at 16x any harm and going to 22x speed ? thanks

What MAY happen, it will work just fine with all the software that is installed. What David was referring to is some of the software that came with a drive is locked to the drive. If the software that you are using was bought independent of the drive or it was on the computer from HP, then it should be fine. I would not worry about it, and just buy what you want as a replacement DVD drive. It is not necessary to install any software that may come with the new drive unless it pertains to BluRay (possible upgrade may be needed)

HP Pavilion Media Center M7690Y PC. Windows 7 32-bit.

After the system has been on for a short time and is not running a program the computer will freeze/lockup and I must power down and restart. This happens all the time. Is there any solution for this?

Check the inside of case and see if it is dirty, dusty, etc.
If the RAM chips have dust on them, your system needs a good cleaning.
Be careful with a vacuum because of static electricity from the hose.
If your system is clean, you may have a hard drive starting to fail.
See if F-10 has an option on your system at boot up.
If it does there may be a hard drive utility to check your drive and other hardware.

Hp media center pc m370n. Windows XP SP3 32 bit

I get a message cannot install C:\hp\bin\SetRes.log after doing a nondestructive system recovery, using my recovery tools CD. I did the recovery because I unknowingly downloaded a virus, which I could not clear, using Microsoft Security Essentials Program. So when I got the above message, I pressed OK, and tried to continue. The PC hung up, giving me the hourglass busy icon, but not doing anything! So, I tried to shut it down, and restart. In doing so, I then got a red x windows message, "system not fully installed. Please run set up again. when I tried to do that, I kept getting the same messages! Help!!!! How can I fix this?

Media Center DVD 'Stutters' on MEGA 865

Hi
I am an IT professional, but I am a newcomer to the MEGA series PCs. I bought a MEGA 865 Delux for a 'computer newbie' friend as payment for a favour, and I am in the process of configuring it all now.
Spec is
MEGA 865 flashed to bios 1.2
MSI DVD Player DR8-A2 BIOS 1.6
NO TV CARD (yet)
Win XP PRO SP2
512MB RAM
Celeron 2.0GHz (yes I know, but I had a new one going spare, it'll do for now)
I have applied ALL latest drivers
I have applied ALL latest BIOS patches
Windows XP is fully patched up to SP2
I am currently running in 1024x764 Truecolour 70Hz mode.
Everything works great, my friend should be really pleased with it ... except
MEDIA CENTER III !!!
Now that was kind of the idea of buying the MEGA PC, my friend could use it with the remote control for DVD, Radio etc etc, but when I play a DVD using the media center it 'stutters', the video and sound are interrupted and it really is unwatchable.
Looking at the CPU resource is see that it is strained to 100% utilisation.
If I run the same DVD Movie with PowerDVD (came with the MSI DVD Drive), or even with Windows Media Player, it plays beautifully and the CPU is comfortably down at 40% utilisation. Unfortunately the remote seems to do nothing for PowerDVD.
Is anybody finding that the Media Center works great on their system? (if so, what's the secret?)
Has anybody else encountered similar problems to mine?
Does anybody know how I could fix the problem so that when I present this great new system to my friend as an expression of my gratitude, it is not 'flawed'?
Please help if you can, I would like to deliver the system in the next couple of days.
Thanks
Steve

Thanks for the advice everyone.
After much searching I found the elusive registry changes and applied them to my system. Unfortunately these changes made no discernable difference to the DVD playback.
While I appreciate that there are a number of Open Source projects in development (dependant on 'Girder', pay software that still does not appear to FULLY replace the advertised functionality of the Remote/LCD/Radio etc), and also alternative products that I could purchase, I do not feel that I should have to buy these to make my MEGA media center PC play DVDs.
It's not as if the inability to play DVDs is a minor issue in a Media Center. It's fundamental!!
If it will not work as a media center PC 'as supplied' then it seems to me that I should return it to the retailer and buy a 'Shuttle PC' for much less money. I could spend the savings (I reckon on about £70) on a better CPU or just pocket the difference. Features and software that do not work are of little use to anybody.
With all due respect to you all, if everybody who bought the system and had these problems returned it to the store as 'not fit for purpose' then I suspect MSI would have resolved the issue long ago. It seems to me that end user tolerance has resulted in MSI's indifference.
If I have no fix by Thursday then it's back to the store.
I have mailed MSI Tech Support, hopefully they will come up with something as the system looks great otherwise.
Still open to suggestions that do not include 'break up the CD' or 'buy this other software'.
Thanks
Steve

No Audio from DVD's in Media Center

I have a m7250n HP Media Center and when I play DVD's in Windows Media Center I don't get any sound. I know it's not a hardware issue because I can hear the sound from any other media (like the TV) in Media Center. I can also hear the sound from both DVD drives if I use a different DVD player like Intervideo Win DVD. HELP, this is rendering my Media center useless...

Did this just start happening? Did you make any changes to your computer before it occurred (such as install software or hardware)?
Are you sure there is "no sound"? If you turn the volume WAY up do you hear anything, even faint sound?
If you plug in headphones, can you hear sound in them?
You may also want to go to www.windowsupdate.com and see if there are any updates for your PC.

How to play IFO files in MSI Media Center III?

Read the topic. We all can play avi, mpg, mpeg and other file types, but is there a way to play DVD files from a HD? MSI Media Center III recognizes the VOB's as separate files, not as w whole movie. I see no IFO support in MSI Media Center III, or maybe I'm wrong... Anybody know how to solve this issue?

I don't use MSI's MC application so I can't directly answer your question.
However both Win DVD 6 and PowerDVD6 play them just fine by launching the ts.ifo file.
Yes, I know that, but that means that I should use at least two applications. I need only one front end to launch all my media files, inluding ripped DVD files, not as separate VOBs but as whole movies decribed in IFO files.

Free Windows 8 Media Center Pack offer!

Good day,
Recently (Oct 2013) I added Windows 8 Media Center Pack to my Windows 8 Pro; I got this free "Windows 8 Media Center Pack product key" during the "free Windows 8 Media Center Pack Offer" back in Nov 2012. However, I didn't realize I have
to activate this product key no later than Feb 2013. Now the system keeps prompting me to activate windows. I've tried my Windows 8 Pro product key but it doesn't work. What should I do? Is there any way to remove this Windows 8 Media Center Pack? Please advise,
thank you very much in advance!!

Ziegler, thank you for your help! But since I don't have Windows 8 installation DVD/USB, could your
method work?
how did you get Windows 8? Was this an OEM version? If yes, restore the factory image.
If you only have a key, get the DVD this way:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only
"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code"
I purchased Windows 8 online using the "Windows 8 upgrade assistant" during the "Windows Upgrade Offer" period (Nov 2012); it wasn't an OEM version. I only have the product key.
I just download the Windows8-Setup.exe from the link, that should do it?
Many thanks!!

Remote Control doesn't launch Media Center on Pavilion dv9535nr

Hi, is not big deal, but it's kinda annoying, the remote control (image) doesn't launch Windows Media Center with the top right button (green with Windows logo), I don't know exactly when, but it stopped launching Windows Media Center, and my OS (Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bits) includes Windows Media Center (just in case, version 6.0.6001.18254). I can still launch it manually (shortcuts, etc).
I'd rather use Windows Media Center instead of QuickPlay, because of the Xbox 360 connectivity.
So, please, can somebody tell me how can I solve this problem ??
Thanks
PS. Please forgive my bad English, it's my second language.

So when you hit "Play" it will start playing off your playlist, but no media player ever opens? All I can think is if you are using some super small skin and just not noticing it off in a corner or something, or if you used to have multiple monitors and drug it onto the secondary and now only use one...
The only solution I found to make the hardware work right I don't think I'm supposed to post, because it includes "don't use any software coded by CL" lol. Also I don't think this would be the right solution for you, as it sounds like the remote is working fine with MediaSource for the most part (or I am horribly misunderstanding).

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

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.

Q190 Windows Media Center Missing

Hello I just recived my new q190 and it is missing Windows media Center which a sales person on chat told me was included and the photo on the product page shows the device running. I am unable to locate this application or a activation code for it in the packaging
Also the device came with windows 8 when the "tech specs" page stated it came with windows 7 pro 64, which would have included windows media center.
This HTPC is useless with out WMC.

hi EvanB,
If your model is included in this pdf data sheet then you most likely have a Windows 8 standard machine. In order to get the Windows Media Center, you will need to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro with Media Center. Using a Windows 8 Pro Pack allows you to achieve this. If you specifically ordered a Ideacentre Q190 with WMC via shop.lenovo.com, have you tried giving them your order number to see if the Windows 8 Pro Pack is included in the purchase?
Alternatively, check XBMC as other users find it as a good alternative to WMC,

Blu Ray drive/burner can't write dual layer DVD - W500 Vista 64

I recently did a clean Vista 64 Business install on a new hard drive. I pretty much have everything up and going, except the Blu Ray drive doesn't recognize that it can write dual layer DVDs. I ran Nero InfoTool and it, too, tells me that the drive cannot write dual layer DVDs. (Pretty much everything in InfoTool is checked, read and write, except all the HD-DVDs and the dual layer DVD write functions.) Does anyone have any ideas? My understanding is that the drive can write dual layer DVDs.

I'll answer this with the same information that I posted at TPF:
