- MediaPlayer >> WMP - just reloads each time I close it downI have recently encountered a problem with Windows Media Player. It will
automatically start and when I close it, it just restarts. This is quite
annoying and is also interferring with all my other programs. I have
struggled to uninstall it and thought I had it (took forever because the
program was constantly running) but it is still there. HELP!

- Media Center >> MCX Radio Issue? Choppy contentI have the Linksys MCX and when I select the radio, all of the channels are
choppy. It seems that the stream pauses 3-5 seconds every 6 seconds.
Playback on the MCE is perfect.
Live TV, recorded TV and pictures play fine without any delay!
Anyone else having the same problem?

- Media Center >> Disk Full - Say What?I haven't seen the "Disk Full" error in a while, but it showed itself again
this past weekend. When it shows, pressing the "Live TV" button on the MCE
remote always brings back live TV.
I have MCE 2005 with all the latest auto-updates. The OS disk on this
computer is 60GB with about 70% free. There is a separate 300GB disk for
recorded TV that is always full. Yes, under normal MCE operating conditions,
the Recorded TV disk is ALWAYS FULL!!
I never delete recorded programs, but let MCE "keep until space needed".
Therefore, during normal MCE operation, the recorded programs disk drive will
quickly become full and remain full, until MCE deletes the oldest recorded
programs as needed.
This error message is really stating the wrong thing. Since the Recorded TV
disk is *always full*, it seems to be reporting that MCE is having some sort
of problem deleting recorded programs.
Does anyone know if this seemingly ongoing bug has been addressed in any MCE
updates?
Interestingly, right after dispatching the "Disk Full" message by pressing
"Live TV" on the remote, I went to recorded TV and scrolled down to the
oldest recordings. I noticed that the oldest recording had a "(!)"
(exclamation mark in a circle graphic) with text indicating that recording
would be deleted that same day. It would seem that MCE is getting confused!!
This "Disk Full" error seems to be getting generated by a poorly designed
and/or implemented algorithm for keeping track of free space for recorded TV.
The strange part is that MCE only intermittently produces this error.

- MediaPlayer >> Default view when opening WMP11Before I upgraded from WMP10 to WMP11 my default view to the player
was "Now Playing" view. Which I liked because I have a visualization
slideshow running. Now my default view is the "Library". Can I change
this back to the "Now Playing" view. I don't see an option to make
this happen. Is there a registry hack to make it happen?

- MediaPlayer >> burning cd'sAll of a sudden, when I try to burn a cd, I get an error message that says:
0xC00D11C9: Cannot copy files to recordable disc
Windows Media Player cannot copy the files to the recordable disc. You may encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:
The CD-R or CD-RW drive is busy. Wait for the drive to complete its current operation, and then try again.
The CD-R or CD-RW drive is not compatible. Verify that the drive is connected properly and that you have installed the latest device drivers, and then try again.
the drive is NOT busy and I dont know my drive wouldnt be compatible all of a sudden. And I cannot find out how to tell if it IS the drive. Can anyone help me?

- MediaPlayer >> Connect to CD burner?WMP11 has worked reasonably well for me with burning CD's until now.
I tried earlier tonight to burn one of my playlists to a CD with no success.
When I clicked on Start Burn, I received this message: Connect a burner and
restart the player.
My burners were connected yesterday. I've never had this problem before and
I have no idea how to fix it. Anyone's suggestions and help will be most
appreciated!!!
Thank you!

First, is the TV window a foreground or background window when this happens?
And what type of system is this and is this a custom screen saver or a
standard MS screensaver? If a customer screen saver, does this occur with a
standard MS screen saver?
I know on my MCE system, the screensaver does not activate in while watching
TV - no matter how long I watch TV.

If you are talking about the screensaer only coming on when TV is not
maximized then yes, this is a "feature"/Bug in 2004. I have noticed it when
playing music and displaying the coverart as well. There is an application
available at thegreenbbutton.com that will fix this.

No This is by design. This assumption is that a user not running in full
screen is multi-tasking using the computer while watching TV.

I could understand that but what I dont understand is why when I hae MCE
maximized and am playing music and viewing the album covers the screensaver
comes on. It has been suggusted that this is to prevent screen burn in but
it seems to me that the MCE background is always moving and the coverart
will change so there is no need to be worried about this.
Please correct if I am wrong in my thinking. It just seems odd because MCE
v1 did not exhibit this behavior.

Windows Media 10 is ripping the files without the space but when I try to
burn the same tracks to a CD I get spaces between the tracks.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to eliminate the spaces?

- Media Center >> DTV "no signal message" but 6 bars on signal meterI'm having a problem in MCE2005 tuning in my local OTA PBS stations. Both
the station MCE automatically added to my guide (which has correct station
data, both physical and major), and an attempt to add it manually both result
in the "no signal" message when I try to view the channel in MCE.
When I check the MCE signal meter, both show full strength. I also have no
problems tuning this station in using the software which came with the card
(Dvico Fusion5 Gold). All other local OTA DTVchannels come in fine and the
card works flawlessly. I've tried mapping the guide data from the
appropriate digital cable channel. All drivers and rollups current. What
gives? Any help would be appreciated.

- Media Center >> No Image appears over HDMI/DVI connection to TV. Please Helpi recently purchased a Sony SXRD projection TV and I have it connected to my
Media Center PC via 2 connections. One is the PC input (SXGA I'm assuming)
and the other is through the HDMI with a DVI adaptor cable for my video card
I have an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video card that is connected to both ports.
When I try to view Media Center over the DVI to HDMI connection though, I get
a blank screen. I go back over to the PC input and make some changes in ATI's
Catalyst Control Center and then magically, I switch over to the HDMI
connection again and the image appears (thought it is highly overscanned and
somewhat pixelated).
Can someone help me? There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to what
changes I make in Catalyst, except I do see an error sometimes that says
"error changing display to 72 hz!"

- MediaPlayer >> 0xC00D11AB: Cannot copy files to recordable discHi Folks
Im wondering if anyone can help with the problem Im
having burning cds using windows media player, I keep
getting the following message : 0xC00D11AB: Cannot copy
files to recordable disc.
This is only a recent occurence and it started when I

incompatible with my cd writer which is a BENQ 3210A so I
scrapped them and bought ones Id used previously without
any problems....I burned about 3 cds before I started
getting this specific error message...I did what
microsoft recommend (change writing speed etc.) but Im
still getting this message!! Anybody have any ideas???
Ive tried looking for drivers etc. to solve the prob but
Im using Windows XP and apparantely they are not needed!
I do know my way around a PC but I am no expert so any
suggestions etc would be greatly appreciated..Thanks in
advance.......Karen
