That meant that the new webcam I bought wouldn't work. Thanks Microsoft for everything you do for yourself at the cost of your customers. I have no problem with WMP. The only problem is with the videos. My tuner works as I am able to use the software WinTV that came with it. The problem is that WMC cannot connect to the internet. When I try to setup the Internet Connection, it recognizes it but will give me an error on the password screen.
It comes back that my password is incorrect, which it is not. If you look on your forums you will see that this is a common problem so it is not something wrong with my PC. It is also a problem with other OS - Win7, for example. It is also the same problem for different routers, meaning it is not a router issue.
It seems as though it should be an easy and quick fix - Microsoft should be able to get this out immediately. I don't know if I replied to this and it just isn't posted yet so I'll chance a double post just to be able to move on.
I'm hoping my post will help anyone else with this problem as I spent several weeks and hours looking for a solution. I'll preface this by saying the solution did NOT come to me through Microsoft - with all of the forums and the hundreds of threads I read on this problem, and it was a problem with many error messages pertaining to the same error, no one from MS that bothered to respond seemed to have any idea of what they were supposed to have been reading.
I saw instructions that were 20 steps or more. I saw 1 step to run a simple DOS command to fix it most comments were that this didn't work so don't know why it was thrown out there so often. I am just getting very frustrated and am not happy with Vista! It's very hard for me to navigate without worry of deleting something important!
Wednesday, November 14, AM. Proposed as answer by gb Monday, January 31, PM. Do you have anything else to recommend?
Monday, November 19, PM. Thursday, August 7, PM. For unknown reasons when I turn off EQ in enhancements sound returns. Let me know. Thursday, August 14, AM. So, please don't overwhelm me LOL Thanks in advance. Wednesday, October 29, PM.
Hi, i'm having the same problem as DarlaMcKinstry Tuesday, August 18, AM. I was advised to install something called Kodi. Good morning I installed the program windos media center but the moment to see the tv you can see the screen of the channel with the time but the transmission does not start, for a while turn the cursor and then close everything from what can depend? I have recently upgraded from Win 7 to Win I downloaded and installed the WMC modification from this page.
Everything looks good running the WMC, but, like some others, I cannot view any recordings or go to live tv from the guide. Has anyone got any suggestions? I have installed WMC, apparently without incident but cannot get picture or sound from within the program. However, recordings to work correctly.
I have been running Windows Media Center using Xbox extender for 8 years. It is now time to upgrade my OS Win 7 to I installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 on another computer to try and make sure it will work when I convert over to Win I tried this on another Win 10 machine and it fails with a decoder error.
Unfortunately I have having some issues in loading this program. I have tried to run the WMC program several but have the same result. I would appreciate your assistance. I have been hoping that someone would pick up on the program when micro soft ended it. It has been a mystery how it never caught on.
I installed your version just after Windows updated my PC today to It installs nice. Luv seeing the little icon images back in the recorded listings. Problem is nothing plays? Have no idea what the problem could be. I think I saw a WMCv8. I think it is trying to translate to English and is blanking out the whole webpage? This has just proved them all wrong. Once again thanks a million!!!! Installed fine but usin HD Homerun it does not find any tuners. Any ideas on what the oproblem is?
For those using it on Windows 10, I believe you need to install the LAV filters to enable playback of much of the content, but I also found the TV functionality seemed to be broken under the later builds of Windows 10 and this seems to still be the experience for most commentators here. You can still buy it as an added feature under Windows 8. Re: Music. Most desktops won't have a webcam driver or will use a dedicated Logitech or Creative webcam which can be downloaded from the perspective vendors.
Note for desktop systems with a webcam integrated into the monitor, the webcam driver may be found bundled with the monitor driver. Installation of the monitor driver will install the webcam. Mobile Broadband Drivers - under Communications.
Most users don't have these but the drivers are there for users that do. These are the main drivers and I have tried to give a basic guide to cover all systems. There will of course be some other variants from model to model and customisations within the same model such as mobile broadband cards, TV tuners and other drivers depending on your systems configuration.
There may also be security drivers for Latitude and Optiplex series. The check for any missing drivers is via the Device Manager Step 12 and you should post on the Microsoft OS forum if you run into problems there. These can be updated if you wish but I would recommend leaving these well alone. Sometimes if these updates go wrong, things seriously break.
If you have no problems with any of these devices then leave them be. You may look through Applications to see if you find anything else useful. The BIOs can also be updated if there is a later version but be extremely careful with a BIOs update - A failed one will brick the system but this is very rare I tend to update my BIOs when an update is available but many of the others will recommend to stay clear of BIOs updates.
This is mentioned in Step 17 further. In the case where newer hard drives are fitted several errors may occur during Widnows 7 Reinstallation:. Downloading the. You will need to extract the file with 7zip as shown.
First download and install 7zip from here , selecting the 32 bit. Look in this folder for a F6flpy-x86 32 bit or F6flyp-x64 folder 64 bit and copy this to a USB stick.
Select the correct one to match the version of Windows you are installing. Note if there are additional folders and a setup. Note some of the items under "SATA Drivers" are applications these should be installed alongside the system drivers.
See the downloads page below for example. The 2 Applications should be installed at the end of the installation while the two drivers should be loaded onto the USB stick. The 2 Firmware may be installed at the end of the installation if desired. For the Intel Drivers the F6flpy-x86 and F6flpy-x64 should be offered as seperate.
Download the correct one and extract it with 7zip then copy the extracted folder to your USB stick. If you get one of the error messages above start a new post in the Disk Drives forum stating your model number, your type of hard drive if you know, for example if you purchased one and what Operating System you have tried to install. In addition it may be worth mentioning what SATA drivers you have attempted to use. Step 7a is for advanced users, most regular users should skip it.
Not all systems have card readers,. DBAN will then load. The easiest way to use DBAN is by typing autonuke and then pressing enter.
You should get these two screens. DBAN will then begin to securely format your hard drive. Note DBAN can take a very long time to securely format a large capacity hard drive. When completed you should get a screen like this. Hopefully it will say DBAN succeeded although sometimes it mentions an error. Most of the times that it has mentioned an error to me it has actually fully formatted the drive and ran for the same length of time as it should i. Note using DBAN may sometimes cause some issues with product activation if using upgrade product keys as the original version of Windows is not there.
Some people have reported that a double install of Windows Vista will work in this case see here. Others reinstall the old operating system, activate it and then proceed with a clean install Windows Vista. This step is only for systems shipped with Media Direct.
These systems will have a MediaDirect button in close proximty to the power button as shown below. If your system doesn't have this button skip this step. The partitions for Media Direct must be set up before the installation of Microsoft Windows otherwise pressing the Media Direct Button while the system is powered down can corrupt your Operating System.
It should look like the following:. Power down your computer. Select option 1 recommended or option 2. Note: The application must be installed after the system drivers while on the Windows Desktop Step Ensure everything documents and the downloads listed above is copied over onto the external hard drive.
You will get a black screen that says "Windows is Starting Files" then one that says Microsoft Corporation. These should disappear pretty quickly. Next one that says Starting Windows.
You will then be prompted for your language, time and currency format and keyboard settings. Mine are all set to U. Select Install Now. If using retail media you will be prompted for a product key. A Dell OEM disc should not require you to input this key and this screen should not display. Once you have input your key select Next.
The following screen will display if you have input the wrong key. Alternatively you may skip this step and get a trial of Windows Vista for 30 days. If you do this, it will explicitly ask you what version of Windows Vista you wish to install. There are always some bugs when selecting "Upgrade" on this screen and this seriously hinders your systems performance.
Ensure that "Hide drivers that are not compatible with hardware on this computer is ticked" it should be set like this by default. Select all the drivers listed and then click next. It will take you back to this screen. Select "Drive Options". This will reveal the drive options. The tools are rather self-explanatory. For a new hard drive you will need to select New to make a new partition case below. To delete it and then must create a new partition or partitions if you want multiple partitions e.
Once you have created your partitions; select the partition you wish to install Windows on and select Next. You might as well delete the Dell factory partition if going down this route as it will no longer work and hence serve no service. To format it, leave the partition intact but remove all data and factory partition. You might as well delete the Dell factory partition if going down this route as it will no longer work and hence serve no service and instead Extend the main partition.
To install Windows on the partition but not format it in this case all old files will be found in the Windows. Again you might as well delete the Dell factory partition if going down this route as it will no longer work and hence serve no service and instead Extend the main partition. The Dell Factory setting won't work in either case.
I recommend deleting or formatting but you must take the 3rd option if you have not carried out Step 1 and wish to keep your data. Note: if you have not backed up all your data onto an external hard drive. Do not select any of the drive options particularly format or delete. In this scenario all your files will be saved in a folder called windows.
Eventually you will get to here. Type in your "username". Next type in your password, retype it and leave yourself a hint. Alternatively just select next to have no password - not recommended but optional. Now name the computer, by default the PC name will be "username-PC" but you can change this as desired.
Next you will get the Windows Update options, I generally select Use recommended settings. Then select your time and date settings. Set up Network settings and or connect to a wireless network. You may ignore this step and connect later. When you first login, Vista may assess your hardware after this which will take a few minutes. Now that you have Windows Vista installed. Ensure that you have the latest Service Pack installed.
It often works out better installing the latest Service Pack and Internet Explorer before installing the system drivers. Doing so in this order prevents a great deal of problems with Windows Update and conflicts with system drivers.
You should have downloaded these onto a USB stick at Step 4 if your installation media didn't include them and have them readily accessible on a USB stick or External Harddrive. Insert the USB stick and run the. Note Service Pack 1 takes longer to install than Windows Vista normally.
Ensure you keep to the order listed above for best results. You should again have downloaded these at Step 4 and have them readily accessible on a USB stick or External Harddrive.
Running the. Unfortunately often no installer runs and the file just extracts. To actually install the driver you will need to navigate to the folder where the driver extracted to and run any setup. Many users think they have installed the driver when they haven't. Select Continue.
