Or is there a link to repair my issues dvd software microsoft fix it failed as did my attempt at regedit as the upper case didn't show up to beedited. I'm desperate

Hello Galane. I understand "restart.exe" keeps giving you the "stops working" error.
As far as I know this is not related to any HP or Windows software. Take a look at this site. Do you have any of the programs (listed at the bottom of the page) installed currently?
I know you stated you don't have any other anti-virus applications installed but a different website mentioned another application, F-Secure Antivirus, as using this executable.
I'll await your response.

Recovery media creator: "Can not get Disk driver information. No HDD Recovery area!...

The Toshiba Recovery Media Creator can not be launched."
That´s the final part of the message I receive when I try to make the system image.
As you can see (image below), this recovery partition exists, I haven´t deleted nor modified it in any way, and besides it´s in good state. I don´t understand why I get this error message. What can I do to get this recovery partition recognized by the application. I really need to make a system image.
Please, if somebody has any idea of how to fix this thing, I´d really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advanced.

Solved!

Will, I'm afraid you'll need to order recovery discs and restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using them.
Order Toshiba Recovery Media
BTW, the 1.46 GB partition you're looking at is not the recovery partition. It contains the Windows Recovery Environment.

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.

Adding Media Center DVR

I currently have Fios with 3 TV's and 3 STD boxes @ $5.99 each per month. I would like to add the media center DVR and have some questions.
1) Does the media center DVR @ $19.99 per month replace one of the STD boxes?
2)Is there any additional wiring needed to use multi room DVR? ( I do have FIOS internet as well )
Thanks for any help

The $19.99 is the complete cost for the Multi-room DVR, but of course you need the additional SD or HD boxes on the other TVs, and they cost $$$ too.
There really isn't any "setup" required as far as I know. If the order is processed correctly, then you will have the multi-room function available automatically. However, I think it would be reasonable for you to ask the install tech to stay until you have verified that the multi-room function works (and keep in mind that, at least for right now, there are apparently several pretty serious bugs in the multi-room function, hopefully to be fixed in the "near" future, whatever that means).

How do I get missing help files back into XP Media Center?

Quite some time ago my "help" information in Media Center dissappeared. I have restore points, but often go for long periods of time withOUT using Media Center. I cannot find an information about repairing or re-installing Media Center. I have an HP Media Center PC m7470n runing XP SP3, with Windows XP Media Center Edition2005 v. 5.1.2715.3011, Update Rollup 2. If I click help it does nothing. Sometimes I can watch TV & sometimes not. Today all channels are just static, if I go to TV tuner setup, the program locks up, then I have to go to Task Manager in order to exit MC. NO RECOVERY CD'S came with my PC. I had created recovery CD's a long time ago, but when I access PC Tools & Help to recover software, Media Center is not listed there. Also in add/remove, there is no "repair" choice for Media Center. I am NOT interested in doing a COMPLETE Restore. Also if I click "Guide Terms of Service" or "Data Provider Credits" nothing appears. Please help.

Have you tried disconnecting the cable from the PC, restart the PC, and then reconnect and try to setup the TV signal again? I'm thinking it's freezing because the MC is not recognizing the signal, like it knows something is there but it can't figure it out. It also could be you had some sort of energy surge or static buildup. I know this sounds unlikely. But electronics can act weird when they have too much static or some other kind of interference.
It is odd that two of your systems would have the cable signal go out at the same time, but you may be write that it's unrelated....but if it is related, maybe having the cable guy fix one will fix both

Touchsmart Iq506t Windows 7, Unable to acess s-video input from windows media center.

System: Hp Touchsmart IQ506T
Windows 7
Avermedia (A327) Hybrid mini Pcie Tv Tuner (NTSC/ATSC)
I purchase this system used without an operating system. I installed windows 7 and downloaded the drivers from Hp. All drivers are installed properly and the Avermedia (A327) mini card driver can be seen in device manager.
Yet, the A327 tv tuner will not give me access to the s-video input. I can get tv thru the rf connection but I want to use the s-video because it has a cleaner signal.
Any information about the s-video port will be appreciated..
Thank you..

Hi Cnmarsh,
I understand you are having an issue with the Touchsmart Iq506t with Windows 7, unable to access s-video input from Windows Media Center.
I read from your post that drivers are installed properly and the Aver media mini card drivers are seen in device manager.
I was wondering if the any of the drivers in Device Manager have a Yellow caution?
Also, is the Touchsmart Iq506t software all up to date?
You could try to download and run HP PC Hardware Diagnostics tool with this link.

Windows movie maker/ windows media center question

I have a camera that records video in .mov .h264 format that I save on my pc using windows live movie maker. It converts it to a wmv video format still in the 1080P resolution it was shot in. The question I have is that when I go to burn these files to a dvd using windows media center does the resulting video end up down converted to standard definition instead of the HD it was saved as. Is there something I have to change in the settings on windows media center to be able to burn these files in same 1080P resolution it was filmed in, or do I have to convert the .mov files to something other than Windows media video to be able to keep the HD quality, or do I need a different burner other than DVD(blu-ray) for example to be able to burn these files. I have a blu-ray player.

I'll let others answer the question on Windows Movie Maker...
Keep in mind if you put an HD video on a DVD... not all DVD players will support it. You may wish to burn to a Blu-Ray disk.
Personally I use Premiere Elements or Pinnacle Studio. I create an MP4 file and then save it to a DVD for those without Blue-Ray

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.)

I purchased Windows 8 Prow/Media Center, now I can't get it to download

I purchased Windows 8 Pro and the Media Center pack and installed them on a computer which was recently stolen. Upon replacing the laptop with a similar machine I am unable to download Windows 8. I can connect to the site and the download begins,
but it estimates more than 12 hours for the download. The few times I've tried to wait it out, something
always happens to cause the download to fail. Other programs I have downloaded to replace the stolen ones have downloaded very quickly, under an hour for an above 1GB program, but Windows 8 is not hardly downloading at all. The new machine came preinstalled
with Windows 8.1, but won't upgrade to Pro w/Media Center. Am I going to have to install Windows 7 and then try upgrading again, or should I be able to reinstall the OS from the website even though the version being downloaded is Windows 8 and the current
OS is Windows 8.1?

Thanks for your quick response, but I will not be purchasing
anymore
(This is totally absurd, you guys can't even program your website to work right!)
Microsoft
(Well since the buttons aren't working, I guess this will have to be done in bold type?!?) products in the future. I am totally fed up with Microsoft and Apple forcing their customers to constantly change to new OS's with all kinds of "bells and whistles"
that I don't and have never had need for and consequently new machines in order to use their computers. I haven't programmed for years, but I'm going to go to
Linux anddliub
(why does this write backwards? That was supposed to be 'build') my own software. Terrible inconvenience, but maybe I can get a movement started!

Mac Mini and Boxee as a media center

Seriously considering bying a Mac Mini to run as a media center. Has anyone some recent (2011) experiences, good and bad with Boxee to do the job?
Also, is the low-end Mac mini (2.3 GHz, 2GB RAM,Intel HD Graphics 3000) powerful enough to stream HQ movies and tv-series ?
Thanks for any reply fellows.

Boxee has discontinued making the software available as an independent download for home systems. The goal is to get you to purchase their hardware.
Plex and XBMC are current and free to download.
My recommendation would be to download and install them both.
Try each of them and see which one you prefer.
If I may offer some additional advice...
1) install the maximum RAM allowed in your Mini. Better safe than sorry. Not that you will or should experience any issues. It will simply save you from having to do so in the future. And far too many people run their systems with the basic amount of memory and wonder why their system runs slower as time marches on.
2) Configure and administrate the Mini for ease of use as a media centre. Some OS and 3rd party software can and will interfere with your enjoyment of a simple media centre. Picture this, you're watching a movie on your media centre when suddenly a window pops up to alert you of a software update. I know it sounds like a minor thing but in the middle of a tense or gripping movie scene it can be VERY annoying. You will have to decide what is pertinent and what isn't. If you put the time in to administrate your Mini before regular use as a media centre you'll be happier in the long run.
3) Speaking of administration, you may want to consider using Little Snitch. Buy, install and configure it so that your system is kept safe and any incoming/outgoing connections are established before running the media centre. 'Nuff said.
4) If you have an iPad. iTouch or iPhone you can download remote control apps for your media centre. Some are free and some will come out of pocket. You may need to manage minor settings on both the Mini and your remote (iPhone, iPad, etc) before you can use the app. It's a lot easier than running up to the Mini's mouse & keyboard each time you want to watch a movie (example). You can set up more than one handheld device at a time so that you, your spouse, roommate, children, etc can control the media centre application.
5) This one applies to all computers: invest in external storage devices. For me, I have 2 Terabyte hard drives connected to my Mini Media Centre. This allows me to store my movies, music and pictures external to the Mini safely. The second Terabyte hard drive acts as a backup to the first one in case (God forbid) something happens to the first one. This isn't paranoia. Just good data management and security.
I realize that all of this seems like a lot of work but it's not. Actually considered writing more but I think you get the picture. A little work upfront will make your Mini Media Centre experience a joy.
Hope this helps.

Win XP Media Center Ed. & Adobe Reader 9.4/9.4.1 Updts Lock Up & Reader X 10.0.1 Install Question

What is the deal with Win XP Media Center Edition and Updates to Adobe Reader? I have been unable to install Adobe Reader Updates 9.4 & 9.4.1 to Win XP Media Center Edition (32 bit - SP3) since last October!!! The update starts to install and then locks up when it starts trying to Remove Shortcuts! I have had to kill the update and then Adobe Reader does not function after that. I have had to go back and run a System Restore for a date & time prior to the attempted update install, to get Adobe Reader working again.
I was going to try uninstalling Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and installing the latest Adobe Reader version X (10.0.1) - until I read the System Requirements. Only Win XP Home, Professional & Tablet PC Edition with Service Pack 3 (32 bit) are mentioned as valid operating systems. Does this mean that version X (10.0.1) can't be installed on Windows XP Media Center Edition (32 bit) with SP3 installed???
Any help/info that you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

You're correct. Clean uninstall i referred to meant clean up every single trace of Adobe Reader in your program files, in your registry, in your application data folder, etc. CClearner is a good one. Apart from using it for cleaning up web and windows temp files, did you try to use their Registry fix feature?
What I am trying to say is that you should:
-Uninstall Adobe
-Clear up any trace left by the program
-Clear up Temp folder
-Run Registry fix
-Restart the computer
-Reinstall the Adobe
That's all i can say. I am not saying that this will work for sure. It is just one of many resolution for you. Good luck!

Black thumbnails and pictures in Media Center in PE8

Hi,
I've had this issue for years (in PE6, 7 and now 8) and on various Windows versions (XP MCE, Vista and now on W7 x86 and x64) but I've finally decided to try and do something about it as I'd really like to be able to use the MC plugin.
As the title says, some of my pictures appear black (both the thumbnail and the picture itself) in Media Center. All my pictures are fine in the desktop version of PE8. It seems to happen exclusively with pictures that are taken vertically (portrait orientation), those in landscape are fine. But some portrait pictures (though very few) appear fine too. I've also found out that if I open a "black" picture in the Editor and save it (without changing anything), then it will appear fine in MC. And I've noticed that it's only happening with my camera (Canon Ixus 860 IS) although I had the same problem with my 2 previous cameras (both Canon PowerShots). The memory cards were different too.
I'm pretty baffled by all this and I really don't know what I could do to sort this out. If anybody has had the same problem or if anyone can think of a solution, any helps would be greatly appreciated!
Here's a picture to illustrate what I'm talking about:

My suspicion is that your problem correlates to a photo orientation indicator set by your camera in the photo file.
some ideas
--Choose one photo which displays black in Media Center
-- In the PSE Organizer thumbnail area, select that photo and display the Organizer Properties panel/window for that photo. within the Camera Data of that Properties window you are looking for an Orientation field - what does it say ?
-- Now in the Organizer, rotate the thumbnail of that same photo 90 degrees to the right or to the left and then rotate it back in the other direction
-- Do whatever you may need to do to refresh your display through Media Center and check if this photo displays OK.
After you post back with your results, we can discuss in more detail the what and the why. If my theory is correct the solution should be easy.
FYI - I suspect that your identifying that the problem was specific to portrait photos which had not been edited will be very significant in identifying what is happening. Good analysis.

Lights wont stay on the media center thing

i just got this computer its a toshiba satellite A665-S5170 and the lights on media center thing were always on so was the light about the touch pad, but i wanted to see what eco button did so i clicked. it turns out it turned off all the lights except the power button and now i cant seem to turn those lights back on.
i click on the volume buttons and it does turn on for a few seconds but then turns off again. i want to know how to turn them back on so they stay lighten up the whole time since i liked it that?

I always leave the lights off to save battery power.
I think all you have to do is hit the Illumination ON/OFF button
(arrow) on the media control buttons located on the system
control panel above the keyboard and it will turn the lights back
on. It was one of the first things I turned off when I got the
machine. It's always plugged in anyway.
Main thing is not to panic when something unexpected happens.
There are many reversable settings on these machines that
require little more than a check mark in a box and a mouse
click. System restore is not the first thing I would reach for.
The manuals for these systems are available on the start
menu under My Toshiba> User's Guide and also under the
product support link at the top of the page. You might even
be able to get a faster and simpler solution to a problem on
the forum or searching the web.

Cant sign into twitter through media center.

I am unable to sign into the twitter app in the media center. It keeps telling me "wrong username/password" but I know I am using the correct user name and password because I will go to the browser and sign in with no problem. i read here that people had somewhat similar issues but with netflix. Has anyone had similar issues with the twitter app?

Bump. I've got the same problem. It's a simple fix for HP, applying the OAuth registration from Twitter to get this working.
And it's a pretty glaring error for them not to fix. HP, your Touchsmarts don't have a lot of apps as it is. You really should get around to fixing one that comes packaged with the thing.

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,
