I was watching a movie on the TV channel AMC (American Movie Classics) and after about 10 seconds, the Media Center window turned to green with text stating that the provider has prevented the use of the video (don't remember the text exactly.) I have a Hauppauge WinPVR 350 with a non HDCP nVidia 6600GT and a non HDCP Monitor hooked up via DVI. Would I get this message if I hooked up my...

I have two small Quick time movies that will not delete. When I click on 'Delete' I get a progress box "Calculating time remaining . . ." that just runs and runs with no progress at all. The data in the box says there are 0 bytes in the file even though they each are more than 32 Mb. Any suggestions?

I have a Sony Handycam that uses mini-DVDs. I am trying to edit some content from the mini-DVD in Windows Movie Maker, but the content is in VOB files so WMM cannot import/open them. Do I need to convert the VOB files first? If so, what is the suggested app to do so? Thanks.

I like using Media Player 11 for Vista, but currently every time I try to open up the Media Player, I see the Hour glass, it goes away, and nothing opens. Is there something that I have not tried that could help fix this problem. Thanks Kris

I recently got a new computer running Windows Vista and everything is working great except the monitor won't turn off automatically like it should. My Screen Saver starts fine after 3 minutes of inactivity - I'm using the built-in My Pictures Slideshow that shows personal pictures & video clips. But the monitor never turns off even though I have it configured to auto-power off after 30...

Hello, recently I have noticed that media streams from the internet have not been working on my Vista Home Premium edition. They work fine if I copy/paste the link into Windows Media Player 11 (or any other program), but if I click on the link using Firefox (or IE7), I get an error message that the browser does not know how to open the file as the protocol is not linked to any program (don't...

Yesterday the NcRawCodec101 for viewing Nikon Raw files in Windows Vista stopped working because it's Public Key Certificate expired on 5/11/07. I tried several things to get it working again, including uninstall and reinstall etc. but it still will not work. Please let me know if anyone out there knows how to reactivate this raw image software?

I've searched through the database, and I've seen a number of posts from people that appear to have had this problem, but no replies on if anyone found a way to fix the problem. I installed VU on a clean partition on my system and in Media Center under Online Media I get a No Services messages. There doesn't seem to be any method to add services either. Has anyone found a method to add...

My media player skips when it gets toward the end of playing a song. I can "rewind" the song and it may not skip the second time. It sounds like a scratched cd. What could be the problem?

It depends on the format to which you rip it. If its WMV I would think definitely. I tried just doing a straight copy of the .vob files, renamed one to .mpg. I couldn't get either of those to play. In fact, the .vob files didn't even show up in Media Center. But on the mpg it was just a codec issue so it seems with the right codec you could probably get those to play too. Theoretically...

Hi! I just installed Vista and like to use the photo slideshow as my screensaver. If I have it set to "shuffle" it "crashes" with Photo screensaver has stopped working. As long as it doesn't shuffle, it works fine. Anyone seen this? Thanks!

I am having a problem with media center. I have a music library that I would like to play from media center. However half the time it when I try to play a song it will crash. It will then ask me if I want to debug or check online for soultion. When I debug the option just goes away then I try checking on line but nothing happens. The other half of the time the visualizations will not work....

I recently subscribed to Urge and when I try to play a radio stations I receive the following error message "Windows Media cannot play the playlist becaue it's not valid." I read a post saying someone had been able to resolve the problem by downloading a plugin for *.pls (playlist) but I can't locate one. Can anyone help?

I'm somewhat impressed by the capabilities of Windows Movie Maker. However, I could not get one feature to work properly. I have a panoramic photo that measures 9251x1923 that I stitched together using Panorama Factory. Basically, when I drag it to the timeline, the picture is zoomed out so that the whole panorama is displayed, but what I really want it to do is pan from left to right. So I...

i have just installed vista, everything works find,except the media player, I cant look at movies, not even the samples attached in the media player! Any ideas ?

If I right click and use the 'Open With' option Media player will display my tif files, as well as Photo Gallery, but they will not go into the library. If I rename the file from .tif to .jpg it will load into the library and display the file fine. The files are tif not jpg. I would think I shouldn't have to rename the file to get this to work. I want to use Media Center and if there not...
