Need help with media center

Hi there,
I am having a porblem with windows media center for xp. Whenever I start media center my screen goes blank and I am not able to use it. The only way I can exit is by going thru the task manager and killing the media center application.
Please help
Thanks

Hi,
Please try to change the resolution to 800x600.
Check if that works.
Thank you.

Help with Media Center & Remote

I Have MSI 180 with TV Tuner card and i have the CD´s for Mega180 and WinCinema, the problem was that after install Windows Xp for second time I Have LOST the paper bag with the code for MSI Media Center III, so i Can´t install it and I can´t install the remote control .
Someone can send me a valid serial for MSI MCIII or tell me how to install the remote drivers for using with another commercial version of Home Theater from intervideo? I have tried this but without the previous installation of the remote control i doesn´t work with it.
Thank you.

nidgew - To get you started on the MSI remote journey you should read the sticky thread at the top of the forum called MSI Mega Series Girder plugin available.
Basically you have to get 3 things:
1. The software tool called girder. I think they have a shareware version so you can decide if you like it or not before spending $$s.
http://www.girder.nl/downloadn.php
2. Get the MSI Mega plugin... pointer is in the sticky above
3. Get the Media Player Classic extender. This has the keyboard shortcuts for all MCE commands. Here's a link:
http://www.girder.nl/exportgr.php
to the extender page.
You have to install all the above. Read the help files... Eventually you will have the extender set up. You then have to use learn or teach mode to learn the remote codes you want to be associated with each of the MCE shortcuts. This takes some playing around to figure out how you want to map the controls to your MSI remote control unit.
I have spent quite a bit of time and made some modifications to the extender to support the mouse and a few other things. If you want I can upload my version of the extender mapped with the Mega 180 remote codes.
I'm reasonably happy with this. Although the MSI remote is quite quirky. I actually use a Sony RM3000 learning remote to send the codes instead of the MSI remote. This works much better. But it is still a little weird compared to standard remote controls. However it is $0 extra if you already own the Mega.

Noob needs help with Media Encoder Settings

Hi All,
Please be gentle with me. I am very new to this.
I am using PPCS4 full version on which I am trying to edit and export video from my Canon HF 10 using their AVCHD format.
The Mac is a MAC PRO 2 x QuadCore 3.0Ghz, 1 x 320GB SATA and 3 x 1TB SATA disks with a 30" Apple Cinema Display.
I can import and see the video running in the source window, it can be a bit choppy but i am putting dowm to the lack of RAM (more the way). My real problem is that when I export the files the result is, well bad. I either get what appears to be a line effect every other line on the screen or by using other settings it appears grainy.
My Cam should be recording in 1080i HD and i expect to be able to put this stuff on a DVD / Blue-Ray disk or file and see as good an image as I see in the viewfinder. This I cannot seem to do.
Any ideas?
Thanks
J

Hi
I don't understand...please let me know...
did media encoder work before and it just suddenly stopped working ? Or is this the first time you tried using it and it just doesnt work from your original installation ? In other words , did it EVER work for you using the HD ?
What source material are you using ? In other words, what type of video. MOV and AVI can have many different types of video inside those file extensions...they are called "wrappers" insomuch as they can have a lot of different "codecs" being used in the video. Can you tell us what the video is that you're using when AME fails to work ?
Also tell more about your computer setup...how many hard drives? Did you set up your system like recommended in many threads here in the forums ?
There are a lot of really good and smart people here who can help you, but they need as much information as possible so they can begin to understand what is going on with your problem. It does take some time and work on your part to put all that info into a message, but it's worth it because most times problems are solved because of it.
ps...not meant to be a criticism because you were angry about problem, but some people probably didnt respond to your trouble right away because of your initial mssg being a little bit scary.. most people here are just users like you and help each other. nobody wants to risk being yelled at or deal with someone who is just angry and isn't really supplying enough information to help solve the problem. That's just my opinion, and I'm glad your response to my mssg was less angry sounding. Whew !

Need help with Media Players, please.

I have a mid-2007 iMac OS X 10.9.3 (Maverick) still in perfect shape, except for what I may have just messed up.
I was trying to watch a video on VeeHD and it said that I needed the VeeHD plug-in. From some research I did, I learned that the newer versions of DivX don't play well with Apple and that older versions worked better. So, I uninstalled my DivX player (and everything DivX) from my computer and installed the recommended earlier version 14. I'm still having the same problem. I use Safari as my main browser because Firefox was giving me problems with loading times and buffering.
I'm wondering what I did wrong because now, no matter what video content I try to play, I get a gray box with HTML5 in it instead of the usual "Play" button (the triangle). Once I click on HTML5, it then says FLASH and I have to click that to get the video to load. Even on YouTube. No matter what I do now, I can't get this to change back to the way it was and pages in general are taking longer to load and buffer. I tried repairing permissions. I'm afraid I may have deleted a plug-in that I shouldn't have and don't know which one.
Does anyone have any suggestions, please? I'm afraid I've put my foot in it. Also, which media players should I have or which ones are the best? Which one is the best default player? I have an updated Flash Player, Perian, VLC, Mac Media Player, DivX v.14, FLV Crunch, and Quicktime. Too many? Am I missing some? I watch videos on different sites like Firedrive, GorillaVid, BestStream, MightyUpload, YouTube, etc., I've never had any problems until I messed around with my DivX player (the only player I had trouble viewing with, until now.)
All helpful, constructive suggestions and advice will be greatly appreciated!

That's exactly what it was. I had ClickToFlash downloaded. I've had it for awhile and it didn't affect any of my video watching until I uninstalled DivX. I wonder why.
Now that I understand ClickToFlash, the only thing I like about it is that it prevents videos from playing automatically when a page is loaded. But, I uninstalled it and the loading and buffering delays went away. Thanks very much!
I meant to click "This solved my problem" on your post instead of "This helped me." How can I change that?

Try turning OFF Mass Storage. Is encryption still enabled for Media Files in your device?
If it is, Roxio should ask for the encryption password to allow you to access the media card.
When it does, all media should be visible...

Need help with media-print style sheets

I am trying to create a style sheet for printing only for pages on my site. I have found a lot of the same information describing how to remove unwanted items, and change colors and so forth for the items to be printed. My problem is that after the unwanted parts of the page are removed, the remaining test to be printed does not "flow" into the areas previously occupied by other elements. The printed text remains in the location on the page that it occupies on the webpage. How do I get the text to "take over" the whole page?
Below is the style definition for the text content as it is displayed on the screen:
div.mainBody {
     position:absolute;
     left:210px;
     top:145px;
     width:640px;
     height:595px;
     background-color:#000000;
     font : normal normal normal/normal Book Antiqua MS Sans Serif Times New Roman;
     text-align: justify;
     color:#CCCCCC;
And here is the "new" definition for the text as it should be printed:
.mainBody {
     position: absolute !important;
     left: 0px;
     top: 0px;
     width: 100%;
     margin: 0;
     padding: 0;
     background: white;
     font: normal normal normal/normal Book Antiqua MS Sans Serif Times New Roman;
     text-align: justify;
     color: #000;
     float: none;
     display: inline;
All other elements on the page are "turned off" with "{ display: none; }"
Why am I having so much trouble with such a simple thing?
Thanks for any help!

Hello Mark,
why do you think a feedback forum for Oracle forums is the right place to ask this question?

Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Sounds like the phone was hacked to unlock it originally. Find out what carrier it is locked to, and look up their contact information using google or the search engine of your choice.

Can't update Win 8 to Win 8.1 with Media Center

I recently went through a nasty divorce and all my stuff was put in storage for about a year. When I finally got everything back and set up my entertainment center I wanted to update the Win 8 Media Center pc to 8.1. I can’t do it through the store. Resource
Monitor says I’ve dl’ed more than 8 gigs over three days so far but the file is stuck at 2.9 gigs and won’t grow. I tried deleting the file to start over and can’t. wsreset fixed other programs that wouldn't dl but not 8.1. In addition, this pc was working
perfectly before it was put into storage but its wonky now. For example, I can’t update the system time even though I set proper permissions in the local security policy at change the system time. There are also a bunch of other aggravating little problems
like that and I really want to reformat and start from scratch.
In a related issue I got Media Center free when MS offered it. I took two licenses and used one as a backup for a pc that’s not connected to a TV. I updated that one several months ago and just noticed I don’t have Media Center in add features or anywhere
else I can find. Oddly enough it appears that I have the rest of the pro pack like BitLocker, only Media Center is missing.
So I have two questions:
How can I update to Win 8.1 with Media Center starting from scratch?
How can I add Media Center to the pc I already updated?
I’m an Action Pack subscriber if that helps.

Updated.
First, I want to know if your computer is a Windows 8 professional edition?
If you're already running Windows 8 Pro and have Windows Media Center, you won't need to reinstall it after updating to
Windows 8.1
After upgrading to Windows 8.1 the Windows media Center will not be included if your system is not Windows 8 Pro, you can see it from the official site:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8
If you want to install Windows Media Center, you need to add features to
Windows 8.1, and what I have to point out is there is a difference between Windows 8 and Window 8 Pro when add packages to Windows Media Center:
