The other registry entry I found that causes the error is this one:. There were a few entries that I had to remove from your reg file so that it would import successfully, I isolated the entries down to the ones that would cause it to fail, I can post them here if necessary. Has anyone looked into the setup inf's from a vista install? Perhaps they can provide some insight as well. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment.

Posted February 20, Would it be possible to copy over vista media center to ws?? I copied the ehome folder over, but am guessing you need to do more than just this, maybe some services need starting and some reg enteries need adding.

Get the details here. Find help and how-to information for your version of Windows Media Player. Learn about the features and how to fix problems.
If Windows Media Player stopped working correctly after the latest updates from Windows Update, verify that the updates are the problem by using System Restore. To do this:. Select the Start button, and then type system restore. Follow the prompts to select the restore point just before the round of updates that seemed to trigger the problem.
Then run the system restore process. This takes a while. After your system is restored to the earlier configuration, check to see whether Windows Media Player runs correctly again. Customize Windows Media Player with easily installed skins, visualizations, and plug-ins for a new look and extra features. First, the aforementioned Media Center Extender, which is a set-top device that allows you to access an MCE PC's multimedia files over wired or wireless networks.
This development allows you, for example, to connect the MCE system in your home office and stream content from the system to the TVs in your living room and bedroom.
You'll just need to purchase an Extender for each screen you want to be able to share files with. MCE PCs can support up to five Extenders, though you'll probably run into problems if you have more Extenders than TV tuners: our test system had only one tuner, so if we changed the channel on the Extender, the channel changed on the PC, too.
Other files--videos, recorded TV, photos, and music--can be accessed independently, however. What you can't do with an Extender is watch a DVD.
Microsoft is right in saying that it would be a poor user experience to have to run to one room to load a DVD in order to view it in another. Our question is, then, why not build a DVD drive in the Extender itself?
MCE also now lets you share content with new handhelds and smart phones. You can copy a sitcom to your cell phone, for example, to watch during your morning commute or take a couple of wallet-size photos to share with your mother at dinner after work. We were able to quickly sync a smart phone with our MCE test system. Even a minute sitcom is too large a file for a tiny smart phone with a flash memory card, but Windows Media Player Both actions require a third-party app, but any system manufacturer should include such software on the MCE systems that it sells, and you don't have to leave the Media Center shell to create a disc.
Just a few clicks on the included remote control, and you can burn a music or photo CD. The same holds true for burning content to a DVD. You can IM with friends while watching TV, for example. You'll just have to get used to your conversation scrolling up instead of down.
If you want to use another IM client or check your e-mail, you'll need to leave the Media Center interface. You can't browse the Web within Media Center Microsoft learned its lesson with WebTV , but Online Spotlight will give you severely limited access to the Internet, should you find yourself much too comfortable to reach for a keyboard or a mouse.
Of more use are the on-demand, movie-download services from MovieLink and CinemaNow. And music fans can quickly find an Internet radio station via Live Wireless interference and the large Sony screen conspired to make for some rough sledding with watching TV on the Extender. We attempted to watch play-off baseball TV programs that were both live and recorded on the Extender. Sporting events are a tough test, granted, with the detail in the crowd and the cameras quickly panning to follow the action.
The Sony TV was fully calibrated before our tests unfortunately, the MCE 's display calibration tool can be used only with the screen attached to the PC , yet the image we got using the Extender was overly saturated. The red in the St.
