I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium x64. I have a Q6600 at stock speeds, as well as an EVGA 8800GT. Whenever I try to start up Windows Media Center, an error pops up saying "Media Center Has Stopped Working" the usual error pop up when a program crashes. Nothing pops up, just that error message. I've tried running ehshell.exe with no luck
View 8 RepliesI get the following error message when I try to open windows media center: "Windows Media Center has stopped working'' and I can not open it. I have Windows Vista Home Premium. I tried doing system restore and it doesn't help. I am able to open Windows Media Player though, and can play DVD's and CD's through there, but can not open media center, to access the tv features.

I bought an xbox360 about a month ago. After hooking it up, I noticed my new PC in my home office (Vista Ultimate 64bit) had an installer pop up on the screen and walked me thru installing Media Center, etc, etc - so that I can now view pics, tunes, and movies that are on my PC, right on my 50" plasma in the threater room....I was psyched. waayy cool, right? Fast forward to a couple days ago. I came down to the theatre room to find my 8yr old daughter and 10 year old friend watching "Aliens" streaming thru my xbox from my PC that they were pulling thru over Media Center....Totally Unsuitable !!
I spent the remainder of that evening trying to move my adult content to another folder outside My Documents, xbox still found it. I then made sure the folder was not shared, and had no access for anyone but me (security tab), xbox still found it. I then tried moving the content to an ancillary sata HD inside the box and followed all the steps, my xbox still found it. I moved it then to an external USB drive and xbox still found it....Does anyone have any idea how I can specifically determine EXACTLY which folders on my PC can be accessed by Extender/MediaCenter/Xbox? Or conversley, can anyone tell me how I can specifically protect some folders from ever being accessed by Extender/MediaCenter/Xbox? This is a cool app, I didn't even know it existed until after I bought my xbox360 - but was immediatly wayyy sold on it...But I simply must be able to control the content that my kids have access to.
So I look for Media Center to play my NBC Nightly News, and all of a sudden, it's not there anymore. My Vista x64 installation works rock solid, and I couldn't be happier, but where, oh where, is my Media Center?? I don't remember uninstalling it, but I'm not aware of a way to even do that!??? Is there any way to restore it, or maybe to download it from somewhere and re-install just that. I don't want to re-install Vista from my DVD, I really don't. It's humming a lot just great. Maybe I acidentally "hid it". I know my thoughts sounds funny, or crazy even. I just can't explain it to myself how a core component of Vista Ultimate can disappear like that.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an HP m9000t desktop that is running on vista home premium service pack 1. Ever since I got this PC my TV tuner has not been working properly. I have a ATSC-NTSC TV tuner with PVR, FM tuner installed. So basically this is my issue. I purchased a 4 prong splitter to split my cable input to my pc and cable box. My provider is time warner cable. After setting up my TV Signal in Windows Media Center it seems to be setup correctly until I try to watch live TV. The channels are all messed up. It seems like I only have about 20 channels, some are local channels and some are cable channels but nothing matches correctly.
I also tried connecting my cable out from my cable box directly into my PC. This works better than a direct connection from the splitter but it only shows what I am watching on my cable box, so if i change the channel on my cable box it changes on my pc. And if I change the cannel on my PC everything is scrambled, so it has to be on chan 3. Can this just be an issue with my provider? Do I need a "setup box"? If so how much are they and will it definiely solve my issue?
On my Dell Studio 1535 I am running Vista Ultimate 32bit. Recently a message box has been popping up randomly (even when no programs are open) which is titled: "Microsoft sync center has stopped working" and reads: "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Close Program". How can I stop this annoyance?.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSuddenly media player just won't launch, even with run as administrator. I tried downloading media player for vista but it won't install saying there is already a Newer (?) version on the computer. So I tried uninstalling the existing version but it doesn't even show on the list of programs for uninstall. Not sure where to turn. This happened once before but a reboot fixed it.

I can't track down the correct files at the MS site to reinstall, and I'd rather not use System Restore since I'm not sure how far back to go or how many things would be undone.
i open windows media player and putsomething to play, a small windows pops up and says that windows mediaplayer has stopped working and it says its looking for a solution. After a while it says " a problem caused this program to stop working correctly, Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." then it closes the program with my consent. This never happened to me on my xp pc which had WMP 11. This is happening on my new vista pc that's just a few days out of the box and i even have full norton anti-virus protection. So is there any way to fix this problem or do i have to use some other program?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI also have a network sharing service problem - Vista displays, occasion (and I havent worked out WHAT occasions yet): "windows media player network sharing service stopped working and was closed" - followed by some bulls£$t about windows informing me of a solution when it becomes available. This pop up appears relentlessly - about once every 30 seconds, and i can see the system performance hitting 100% CPU for 5 seconds or so each time it does.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was thinking about creating a user that only has access to the Media Center. First thing i did it, configure the media center to boot with windows!
Now I need to:
1- know how configure him to open in the "Only Media Mode".
2- do something to block everything, but some games and 3 sites! gmail, yahoo and hattrick.com
To make it clear, i want to configure a user that may only use the media center, some games and access does 3 sites and nothing else!
Media center keeps popping up, I have not been able to find a way to disable it, so that I can use the program only when I want. It is very tiresome to keep have it. open when ever I pop a cd or dvd in to my drive. I would like some control over which program I use to view/listen to the media I have, and not have one pop up automatically.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have vista home premium 64 with media center. don't have any desire to hook up the computer to a tV or surround sound system, so is there really any reason to open up and install media center service? I burn cds, do some computer studio recording, sometimes plug a phonograph (remember those?) or a cassette into the computer to record. is there anything in media center that makes those experiences better? when i record off of vinyl i have to set the recording level down to practically zero to record or otherwise the signal is too hot using my usb turntable. it's really almost zero plus a tick or nothing at all. will media center do anything for this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was using Media Center to watch video that was recorded through media center. Everything was fine for a few months then a couple of months ago the sound went away in media center for those videos. The media center still plays music and DVD's fine it just does not play viedo recorded off of the capture card in my computer anymore.
I am able to play those same video's through window's media player however.
Is anyone familiar with this?
My hard drive crashed and I had to install a new one, reinstalled Windows Vista, but Media Centre is nowhere to be found.
Searched for %SystemRoot%ehomeehshell.exe as barman58 suggested.
However, the following error message pops up "Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a software restriction policy. Contact your system administrator."
Media center is freezing up when I try to scroll search through the movies or music videos. It says it needs to update something at the beginning, but when I click the OK button the little circle just sits and spins and never does anything.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI don't have Vista installed yet, but I want to set it up with an internal dual-tuner card, probably this one and use it as an ATSC DVR for OTA shows.
[url]
1) Can a Vista Ultimate computer running Media Center as a DVR be set to automatically wake up from S3 and start recording, then go back to sleep when it is done? I don't want to leave it running all day when on vacation just to record shows.
2) My Dell Dimension 4700 is a P4 3.0GHz, 3GB RAM, one 250GB SATA II 3.0Gbpsdrive for Vista to be installed and one 500GB SATA II 3.0Gbps for the recordings, with an eVGA NVidia GeForce 7600GT 256MB video card with dual LCD displays attached.. I believe that to be a reasonable system. Do you?
3) My network is all Gigabit...or at least it was until I had to pull the PCIe Gigabit NIC from the Dell to make room for the Hauppauge card. There is only one PCIe slot available, so that leaves me with the onboard 10/100 unless I get a PCI Gigabit NIC. For streaming an HDTV recording to an"Extender for Windows Media Center" device for playback onto an HDTV, how much bandwidth does it gobble?
My OS is Vista Home Premium and I have been trying to set up my x box 360 as an extender using a wired connection. I have the code from the TV. I use the Windows Live OneCare Firewall but I cannot get the set up wizard to recognise the extender and I've run out of ideas as to what might be the cause.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy OS is V-home premium 64bit. I've owned this Dell for about 3 weeks and have never been able to open Media Center. When clicked, I get this error message:
C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework64v2.0.50727mscorwks.dll could not be loaded. I had a Dell Tech log into my computer to find "patches," etc. To no avail. His only advice was to restore back to new.
By the way, opening ehshell.exe gives me the exact same message. I thought I had found the correct patch re: framework applications in the Win Knowledge Base. After a complex set of downloads I finally ended up with the same error message. Is there something I can do short of full restore?
I'm still totally at a loss as to how to fix my media Center. It seems that whenever I watch a video in media center in full screen mode it works fine until the play/pause taskbar at the bottom of the screen auto minimizes then it gets extremely choppy and looks like its having some sort of seizure. Yet if I move the mouse on screen again to bring up the taskbar again it runs smoothly once more.
Alternatively when the screen is not maximised if I dont move the mouse at all it runs smoothly but the second I bring the mouse onto the mediacentre screen the same thing happens and the video goes all black until the taskbar auto hides. This problem occurs while watching a movie or live tv in media center, yet if i watch the exact same video footage in media player the problem does not occur. I've updated all drivers (taking extra care to make sure I have the newest graphics card drviers) and installed a shark codec set in the hopes that might offer some assistance.
I have Vista Ultimate 64x bit. And i recently just found out why my files weren't play in it. ( because i didn't have 64x bit codecs). That fixed that problem. I was hoping it would fix the problem i was having with the internet TV beta program, but it didn't. When ever I play files, i get a black screen and nothing plays. I then goto the now playing option, and it says unable to play clip. The MSNBC TV thing works, but not the Internet TV program. I am not sure what the problem is. But i do have codecs installed.
