Recovery in media center m7580n code purple

I ran my media center hdd on an msi mobo after my original boards pci x slot went bad, microsoft gave me a new key. I did not like msi board and before I changed it I tried a full recovery, message came up configuration error code purple, so I put it on the orig. mobo(now running xp pro on system vga port) and same error came up. What now?

Chippiejohn,
Hopefully I got this correct.
1) Your original mobo, OS, Recovery partition, and Recovery DVD's (if you made them) are all keyed to the original KEY.
2) A new mobo requires a new KEY. You did that via Microsoft. That key will only work with the MSI mobo.

I completed a full system recovery. Still getting a configuration error. (code purple).

I have a completed a full system recovery using vista. completely redid the hard drive with recovery disk. When startup occurs, I get a message saying a configuration error. contact HP. (code purple). Is this a hard drive issue? Help where to go next.

***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...

so it will look like this

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...

Save the file and exit notepad and restart your PC. You are good to go.

Location of the Recovery Media Center application

I just recently purchased a L505D-ES5025. I did the Recovery Media Center backup of the system image. I then did a new install of Windows 7 Professional using Microsoft media. Following the installation, I applied the Toshiba drivers and applications from the original image. Everything seems to be running just great. Now I would like to do a image of the new system but apparently did not load the Recovery Media Center app. [I didn't load everything from the original backup - like Norton, Quickbooks, etc - I use a different antivirus.]
Which one did I missed that contained the RMC app?
Thanks!

Good for you! It's always a good idea to write an image at this point.
The Toshiba application you're looking for was never on the hard drive. What was there wrote an image stored in another (hidden) partition. It has Home Premium and includes all the excess junk you probably want to avoid.
What you need is native to Windows 7. It's a complete, image-based backup of the entire computer.

Updating Win8 to Win8 Media Center! Will New Recovery Disk include update?

Reading the manual says that making a set of recovery DVD's will return laptop to purchased state. I was hoping new set would included the media center files.
Thank you for any advice.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Toshiba recovery discs always restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents, Tom.
It's not difficult to upgrade from there using the product key you have.
In order to back up your current disk, you'll need to use third-party software.
Always tell us which computer you have when you post here. There is a label on the bottom.

Windows 7 Media Center Not Downloading EPG listing

I have virtually no EPG listings in WMC 7 I have tried rescan the TV Signals, deleted the epg listings directory, run the Object Store Recovery Task I've run MC Update and I've tried turning off the firewalls. The file downloads successfully according
the the Microsoft Event Viewer but the guide is empty except for a few channels that show the current program and the next one.
All I've succeeded in doing is wasting hours of my time, loosing the UK HD channels that WMC 7 ignores and loosing the favourite channels.
Thanks for this Microsoft

Ok a few people have asked for some simple steps to get EPG Collector working to get the EPG in WMC working, I've laid it out in step by step instructions, should take a couple of hours to do;
EPG Collector Setup – UK Freesat
Download EPG Collector, your first port of call is the sourceforge home and download the latest version (4.0), if your using windows 8 (like me) you will also need to download the fixpak;
http://sourceforge.net/projects/epgcollector/files/V4.0/
Unpack and install EPG Collector, if you are applying the fixpack unzip it and copy and paste the contents of the zip folder into the EPG collector install folder, which typically can be found at; C:\Program Files (x86)\Geekzone\EPG Collector
Run the application by clicking (depending on what version of windows you have) Start -> All Programs -> EPG Collector -> EPG Center
Click File -> Create Collection Parameters
Click UK – FreeSat, then ‘OK’
On the tuning tab I left the default selected ‘Use any available tuner’, if you have a combination of different tuners, you may need to just select the freesat tuners, otherwise just leave the settings on this tab alone.
Select the output tab and select ‘Import the data to windows media center directly’, and the ‘flag all programmes as part of a series’, do NOT select ‘automatically map EPG data to channels’ which sounds useful but from what I’ve heard really isn’t and
messes up the channel lineup.
Select the ‘lookups’ tab and select ‘Movie lookup’ and ‘tv series lookup’
Select the ‘advanced’ tab and select ‘use freeset Huffman tables’
Select File -> Save, I saved my config as ‘EPG Collector’, which made sense to me.
Select Run -> Collect EPG Data, you should now see it doing ‘stuff’, it takes about 10 minutes or so, I guess depending on your setup, when it’s finished if it didn’t have any problems it will say something to the effect of exiting with code
0, which sounds bad but it means it worked basically.
Assuming you didn’t experiment with letting it map the EPG data to the channels (I don’t recommend it) you now need to go into Media Center and re map the listings, it probably will absorb a couple of hours, these steps are for WMC 8, but 7 should be
the same, and I would assume Vista, load the program guide, right click on the channel on the left and click ‘Edit Channel’
Click ‘Edit Listings’ and select from the list the appropriate channel where it is followed by ‘-EPG Collector’ for example ‘BBC 1 London-EPG Collector’, one tip is that, at least in WMC 8 tapping the first letter of the channel jumps through the list,
e.g. tapping ‘b’ if your looking for bbc listings, saves a lot of time, nearly all the channels are there.
Click Save, and Save again and voila you should have the guide data for that channel, repeat this task for the other channels and your sorted.
Every time the EPG Collector runs it will update the EPG in WMC and you won’t have to fiddle with that mapping again, the next task is of course to automate running EPG collector so you don’t have to remember to run it yourself, I haven’t figured out the
‘easy’ steps for this part yet, so in the meantime just run the program each day to keep the data topped up.

Based on what you've posted, your computer does not have the right tuner. You need a QAM tuner to record locals from FiOS, or a CableCard tuner to record all local and cable channels from FiOS.
QAM tuners to record local channels only
This requires Windows Vista or Windows 7
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250
SiliconDust HDHomeRun (info on a sale)
CableCard tuner to record local and cable channels
This requires Windows 7 + one CableCard from Verizon for $3.99/mo
ATI TV Wonder Digital PC CableCard Tuner (records one channel at a time) -- $200-$250 on ebay
Ceton MOCUR tuner (records four channels at a time) -- coming in early 2010 for $400-$600
Make sure your computer has Windows 7 Home Premium (or better) installed. That's necessary to support CableCard tuners.

Can any one help me with CD/Audio disc playback problem on media center m8200n running Windows Vista

I have HP Media Center m8200n Dest top running WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32 BIT edition.It has MEDIA CENTER and MEDIA PLAYER. I experience problems with the computer being able to play CD music discs. What happens is that the Disc will play only for 63 seconds exactly and then stop playing the track, the player will then skip tracks, settle on another one, play it for a few moments and then skip to the end and then play nothing. It gives me an error message that it cannot read the disc. This happens with any and every standard store bought CD new or used. These CDs also do play on my laptop running basically same operating system. This happens whether I trying to Play a disc or burn the disc to the hard drive. The drives work great though as they do play DATA discs all the way through. MP3 discs play fine. It also plays the DVD movies with no problem. Windows media player doesn't make it work, also installed VLC player and REALPLAYER to try some other players and they also don't work for music, only DVDs. They all only produce 63 seconds of music play back from a disc. I've already tried Changing ENHANCEMENTS, UPDATING DRIVERS, UNINSTALLING THE DISC DRIVE and then re-installing back into WINDOWS but none of that helped. SYSTEM came with the integrated REALTEK HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO on the mother boad for multi channel playback options and I've downloaded those updated drivers again but that doesn't do anything. Thinking it might be a hardware drive problem I purchased a new LG BLU-RAY DRIVE/BURNER super multi drive which plays fantastic for any video format from Blu-Ray to regular DVD format with the Power DVD software but the machine is causing even this new drive to have the same problem with the audio and it cuts out playing the audio disc within the same 63 seconds running audio disc. . There seems to be a software glitch and I'm wondering if you can help. Also the sound card seems to work perfectly fine. I downloaded I-Tunes and copied over audio files to the computer via my flash drive and when I play those files from the hard drive, or even the sample windows media files which reside on the hard drive in MY MUSIC, all files play through perfectly, fully, and with great sound. Audio out jacks in back of computer work fine as also does the front head phone jacks upfront. Something in the software when playing a audio disc/file through the dic drives???? I've got hundreds of CD and it's a bummer not beng able to lay them through the system. Does anyone think moving from VISTA PREMIUM to a upgraded version like ULTIMATE or even going up to Windows 7 might solve problem??? What about the 32 bit verses 64 bit editions??? My system should be able to run in the 64 bit frame work also. THANK YOU in advance!!!

Hi,
All dimms work individually? Did you run a bootable memory diagnostic to determine the reliability? Did you run a diagnostic on the hard drive? I believe that your PC came with PC Doctor and that you can create a bootable diagnostic disk. Did you create that disk? Be sure to purchase memory dimms from a manufacturer that will stand behind their product with a guarantee such as Crucial, Corsair or Kingston. Buy directly from the manufacturer and they will stand behind the guarantee. Be sure that all of the dimms are identical. Use CPU-Z to determine that the specifications are indeed identical.
You have some options to consider once you can stablize your PC for updating the BIOS.
Locate a hard drive and use the HP external recovery media to build a VISTA system. -- safest method
Use a VISTA repair disk and at the command prompt try executing the HP BIOS update (Admin). -- safe
Try a bootable BIOS update process as suggested at this site. -- less safe but doable

Qosmio G30 - Media center remote control doesn't work in windows

Dear All,
I have Qosmio G30-194,
first i had a problem with the VGA , i send it for repair, when it comes back i noticed that the remote control is not working on windows Media Center, while in A/V mode it work perfectly.
I tried to do full system restore from the recovery DVD, but nothing changed, even i installed Windows Vista with all of its drivers.
Nothing changed also, I borrowed a USB IR received for another remote control it worked perfectly with my remote on windows.
Please advise me what to do, do i send it back to the service center , or there is an easier solution.

N.B, : My laptop info are:
Model Number PQG32E-01P018AR
Thank you in advance

don't expect toshiba to fix problems like this.
they replaced motherboard on my laptop and ever since the remote was not working.. it would turn the laptop on but was unresponsive thereafter. thing's we have tried:
- install software and drivers for remote again
- reinstall windows
- replace reciever
- change motherboard
- change remote
- terminate and restart relevant processes
- downgrade bios
- update bios
- combinations of the above
on several occassions Toshiba told me they were able to replicate and solve the problem but after trying it on my laptop they remembered that actually their one was slightly different.
almost a year later, i still have a non-working remote
my theory is the laptop leaves factory with certain software which Toshiba fail to include in recovery partition and\or bios that is available through them... so once you lose the factory components (i.e.the original motherboard) you also lose some necessary files with them.

Can't get Xbox 360 Media Center Extender to work

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64. This is a retail copy. I had previously set up Windows Media Center and successfully set up my Xbox 360 as a Media Center Extender.
After a long hiatus of using Windows Media Center, I went to watch a movie in my media library through my Xbox 360. It would appear to initially connect and then show the Windows Media Center loading screen and say "Contacting..." After about 30 seconds, it would display an error asking me to make sure my Windows Media Center PC is turned on (it is). I ran the Windows Media Center network test in the Xbox 360 and it tested fine.
I attempted to delete the Media Center Extender in WMC and set it up again, but it always fails with an error "An error was encountered while configuring your computer for use with this Extender" at the part where it says "Configuring your Extender".
I looked in the Event Viewer under the Media Center section and found event ID 543:

I also tried turning off the Windows firewall on the Windows Media Center PC, but this had no effect on the outcome. I also tried deleting the Microsoft Windows Media Center Extender Host certificate and restarting the Network List Service, but these steps to did nothing to fix the issue.
I am using the same computer with the same NIC with the same Ethernet cable with the same SOHO router (Linksys WRT54GL) with the same Xbox 360. Any advice would be welcome at this point.

My media center M8000y no longer completes boot sequence...I turn on the desktop and sometimes the b

HP Media Center M800y, System # GG755AV#ABA, Windows Vista Ultimate, Desktop will not complete boot sequence as the Blue & white HP screen which doesn't always appear, will give options to either
a).Press F10 to enter setup or,
b). to press f11 to start recovery partition in hard drive that doesn't work when tried.
Can enter setup when blue & white HP screen appears but do not know what to look for when inside.
If I pick none of the 2 options, the screen just turns black with a horizontal line "-" blinking at the upper left hand corner of the screen. Sometimes the screen will not even show the blue & white HP screen and it just stays black.
I changed the CMOS battery and nothing happened except that now the blue & white HP screen with the 2 options appears even less when I attempt to start up... I also tried using the recovery disks to no avail...
A power surge knocked out the power in my building and the computer suddenly stopped working while streaming netflix video afterwards... Then when attempting to re-boot once power was restored, The screen showed some very wierd, almost alien fonts on the top of the black screen that almost resembled Chinese or hyrogliphics. Upon further attempts to re-boot to no avail, I'm at a loss in diagnosing the possible causes or failure modes... Can somebody help me in the right direction???
I'm leaning towards either a corrupted bios via virus, or a fried hard drive or both. If you think something else or this has happened before and anyone knows a fix, I would be eternally grateful for your guidance in resolving this problem I'm experiencing.
Respectfully,
Henry

I would lean more to a hard drive problem.
A quick test is to temporarily disconnect the hard drive - the system should quickly indicate it can't find the HDD, can't boot, etc. You should also have the option to press one of the function keys to enter system BIOS.
If when you hook the drive up again - it starts getting flaky/slow again to do anything - you've likely found your culprit.

Windows Media Center on my HP TouchSmart PC won't switch channels on my attached Cable Box.

Have a Motorola DCX3501-M DVR (cable box) connected to my HP TouchSmart PC (Win 7 64-bit) in order to view and record HDTV channels. Problem is I can't get Windows Media Center to communicate with the cable box properly, e.g., when I select a channel to view in WMC (using the PC's remote control) it does not tell the cable box to switch to that channel. I have the IR cable connected from the rear of the PC and affixed to the front panel of the cable box. How can I get the cable box to work properly with this PC?

Hello Curly2U:
Did you connect the IR cables correctly ?http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Video-Solutions/Products/Video-CPE/All-Digital-Set-Tops/DCX3501-... Now I look up your cable box. Take the IR cable that is connected from p.c. IR out port and plug the other end directly into EXT IR IN port. Next to IEEE 1384 and Power Cord ports. I really do not see how a p.c. remote can control any thing but the computer because these remotes do not have a option to add codes to them like a universal remote does. They also do not have special butons to allow you to contol other devices such as tv's or stereos and cable boxes like a universal remote does. I checked our Help and Support and did not see anything about mentioning controlling other devices.
You might want to by pass the cable box altogether and directly plug the cable antenna wire directly into the computer and see if it can tune in cable channels. You might not need the cable box after all. There are two antenna ports on your computer try switching the cable antenna arround. I found out one antenna port olnly picked up one channel and when I switched the cable cable arround I was able to pick up all the channels.
