MSI Media Center and WIN 2000

The MSI Media Center does NOT work with Windows 2000! Will there be a Version that does work anytime soon?

Hi Assaf,
This gets to be more of a mystery!

No, there is no sign any such a device in the boot up information, which is a bit strange isn't it? It lists my other stuff o.k. - see below.
What other PCI cards do you have?
I have the following installed:
Network Adaptor 1: Realtek RTL8139(A)-based PCI Fast Ethernet Adaptor. The driver for this must be included in Win 2000 as I didn't have to install anything for it.
Network Adaptor 2: BT Speedway ISDN PCI Card Rev. A (Win 2000). I had to install the driver for this from the supplied CD.
Video Adaptor: NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 M64/M64 PRO. I installed the latest unified driver from NVIDIA (Version: 44.03
Release Date: May 14, 2003).
What puzzles me most is that when I rebuilt the system I started out with just the video card installed and no other adaptors (the card was using the Microsoft supplied driver) and there was no sign of the sound system then. So, unless there is something fundamentally wrong with the motherboard surely the sound should have been detected?
Cheers and thanks for your help.

Hi,
I've just got an MSI GeForce 5900 Ultra VTD256 card which came with MSI Media Center Deluxe II. However, when I try to install it, it starts the install and then gives the error "This is not a qualified MSI system".
Can you offer any help?
Thanks,
Karen
My system is:
Pentium 4 2.4Ghz
1Gb DDR RAM
Gigabyte GA-8PE667 Ultra
MSI GeForce 5900 Ultra
WD 160Gb RAID

I will try using \"O\" rather than \"0\" and see if that helps. Fingers crossed...
I didn\'t think that I needed an MSI motherboard to install Media Center - just the MSI video card? What I do wonder as well is that, since all of the first FX5900 Ultra cards are actually manufactured by Nvidia for companies such as MSI, is this why the software doesn\'t recognise the card as an \"MSI\" one? If so, I guess I\'m sunk...
Thanks,
Karen
I wouldn't know on that as I have a MSI board and vid card.I do have a media center from nVidia.If you update the drivers from nVidia, you should get theirs.Unless I am thinking of a different media center.
EDIT I was thinking of a different media center,my apologies.MSI's looks neat, I want one as well.

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.

MSI Media Center Deluxe Software!!

I'm as I can't figure out how to manually adjust the tv tuning within the MSI Media Center on a 180 I've built for a friend. Is there a way? I know it's a crap suite but I want the end user to be able to use it straight away.
Cheers in advance for any help.

So do I, I don't find any way to tune TV channels, only a crappy autosearch which forget 2 channels and create one which doesn't exist!
If anyone find the tip (windows registry or anything else) please post it!
Relish you may give a try to mediaportal ;-)

MSI Media Center Deluxe 2 Problem - Urgent!

MSI Media Center Deluxe III !!! Crash all time..

Hi
MSI Media Center Deluxe III keeps crashing. Is there any fix to this problem yet. All seams to have this problem.
I run XP Home SP1 with all live updates done. My Mega 865 only run MSI Media Center Deluxe III utility, since i only wish to install what i wish to use.
The MEGA 865 was bought due i wanted a pc/radio/cd combination. But since MSI Media Center Deluxe III will not start due crash when i starts.. The media machine is useless for me.
I hope MSI can give us an update so this will work. Also if this program will not work with some other software, give us a list :hypecrite:

After several attempts at getting my HTPC to function consistently....it became obvious......disable Media Centre III and install software that is functional and supported....with authors that listen to your suggestions and problems.
Here is what I did and I now have what I believe is a fully functional and integrated HTPC.
Install either MyHTPC (free) or Meedio (commercial version)
I use Meedio to do the following
Play movies from my Maxtor external 250GB hard drive using Bsplayer - movies are catalogued and cover art viewable (used DVD Profiler to maintain library)
Play Music from my internal 200GB seagate drive - music collection catalogued including covers etc
Play TV using Chris-TV. tv@anywhere also sucks so I do not use the supplied software and I have thrown away the tv@anywhere remote control. (Now using Streamzap remote) Chris-TV has much better tuning capabilities and works well with the streamzap remote.
Play DVD using the MSI DVD Player (using PowerDVD ) - note bsplayer also works well but i prefer the PowerDVD skins/interface
Play radio using MSI radio (yes I did keep some msi software) as it worked and it is not important enough for me to be bothered with anything easier to use
Play CD using the MSI CD player (using WMP9)
Call up Internet weather & Radar (Australian Weather only)
Launch internet browser
Play/Display pictures (digital camera snaps) from the home network (pictures are stored on separate PC)
Control home automation - Motorised screen up/down, theatre lights up/down/on/off, Seat lights on/off, projector on/off etc
To get this working seamlessly with one remote control - I use the streamzap remote.....everything mentioned above works flawlessly with this remote so I have also thrown the MSI supplied remote in the garbage.
I now have Meedio in my start-up instead of media centre III and my remote has a macro button that can also launch it. I have a standby macro on the remote that puts the mega 865 to sleep but I still have to manually wake it up (ie touch it)
The litmus test to all of this was to hand the remote to my wife's blonde friend and asked her to play a certain movie on the projector. The HTPC was sight unseen to her before trying this and she was able to (using the remote) navigate her way to the movie through the various features of the HTPC without me having to show her how. And not once did it stop/stall/freeze/reboot/go slow.
Happy to share in the details of how to get this all running to get the best out of the Mega 865.

SQUARES instead of font in MSI MEDIA CENTER

Hi all,
please help...... does anybody has this issue?.. Instalation was correct on WinXP + SP1 and the latest patch for MSI MEDIA CENTER.
Instead of fonts in this application I have only squares.. no text..only squares...so I cant using this program and remote controler as well... X(
Does exists other similar software for MSI remote controler?
Thank you for any idea...

I had the same problem with my Media Center. Squares were annoying me. I thought that it was because of Polish version of my OS and it was. Here is how I resolve it:
Open your regedit and find thin key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareInterVideoWinC inemaUI_Language
its value is set to 0409 (English - Unicode)
My OS is Polish so I changed it to 0415 (Polish - Unicode)
You have a Czech OS so you should change it to 0405
It worked for me. I hope it will resolve your problem with Media Center.
Here is the page were you can find your Unicode language code:

Mega 865 - MSI Media Center SLOW on Music mode (CD audio)

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the Mega 865, when I'm playing CD audio with the Home Theatre / MSI Media Center Deluxe II application. It seems to VERY, extremely slow. It takes about 30 seconds for the application to respond when I directly click into the application, and it does not hardly ever respond to the remote. When I try to close the application once it has begun playing an audio CD, it does not respond very well, usually not within 30 seconds. When I open the task manager, the CPU usage is between 90 & 100 percent. I looked at the system requirements for this application, and the computer has over twice the requirements, so that is not the problem at all. I tried updating to DirectX 9.0b and Media Player 9, but that did not seem to improve performance. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Phillip

This email from tech support may be useful. I'm not sure if this is a new version or not. Its a 110MB download, so hopefully it will help. I'm downloading it now. I'll let you all know if this works (in case someone else has this problem, and they are searching through the posts):
Dear Phillip T. George ,

MSI media center issue - winirxhelp.exe bloated in taskman

i understand that this WinIRXhelp.exe file is placed in the startup menu so that the remote controller can be used in conjunction with media center. however, when looking at the process in taskman, the amount of mem given to this 4 mb process increases by 40 kb every sec. at that rate, the process more than doubles in size every 2 hours.
anyone know of a solution or patch to this? i know i can take it out of the startup folder and have it executed only when i want to use media center and then end the process when finished with it, but it kind of defeats the purpose of a seemless integrated media center.
or rather, does anyone know why such a process requires an infinitely increasing amount of memory?
thanks

this has been posted about already - see:
Other Link In Forum
But at this point there is no solution yet. I have contacted MSI - not heard back yet.

Windows Media Center and Xbox 360 have stopped communicating

I've had my Xbox and PC connected for years and have never had an issue until now. My laptop is running Windows 7, and has a wireless connection, but the Xbox is hardwired into my router. Now for some reason, the connection just stopped working. I
tried deleting the old extender connection in Windows Media Center and generated a new pass code for it on the Xbox. When I enter it in, my PC tells me that my Xbox is connected to a different network, but it's not. I only have the one network and I know my
PC isn't mistakenly connected to an unsecured, neighboring one. I've unplugged my modem and router, restarted the Xbox and my computer, checked my connection on both devices multiple times, but I can't seem to find a solution. So, what more can I do?

Check the support web site of the manufacturer of your wireless router for the latest firmware update and install it. If none is available, proceed to
Reset Your Router to Factory Default Settings.

Media Center and Aver tuner

I have media center pro on my 8.1 64bit system. I have an AVer tv tuner that is built into system. Media center Electronic program guide no longer working and the program will be gone with the new windows 10. How can I get an EPG for my Aver tuner to schedule recordings of favorite programs. There is none in the Aver settings. I contacted AVer but they said I had to contact hp. Anyone know what is going on?

If you want to keep Windows Media Center 8.1 Pro with Windows Media Center and HDTV recording you can fix the Program Guide updates. The issue was due to the Program Guide provider change on 7/7/2015 discussed here: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/26-home-theater-computers/2058850-big-wmc-guide-changes-starting-today.html What I did was re-setup the TV signal within WMC which switched the Program Guide to the new service provider: Tasks>Settings>TV>TV Signal>Setup Up TV Signal On my system it found many new channels that didn't work. I removed them from the channel line up using: Tasks>Settings>Guide>Edit Channels. I have looked into a TV recording/program guide replacement for Windows 10 and if you have a Hauppauge TV tuner card, they do have a Windows 10 software offering on their home page at hauppauge.com.
