Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Music, Photo, Video / February 2006Media Center fixup
I gather from a quick google that the expiration of Media Center usage at the end of last year is well know. What I could not find in a quick look was a fix. It certainly was not in the bits that I downloaded from MSDN in mid February. Suggestions please on how to get this fixed. Regards, Al Christoph Three Bears Software, LLC just right software @ just right prices @ 3bears.biz Sorry... can you explain the actual problem a bit clearer please?

I installed the Dec 2005 bits as downloaded from my MSDN subscription. When I click on Media Center I get the error message "This trial version has expired and can no longer be used." If you Google appropriately you will discover lots of complaints that someone goofed and had Media Center quit on 12/31/05. I found at least one posting that said that there was a fix available but its link to MSDN just took me to my subscriber download page. At any rate, I've now dug around the subscriber download list and found what I need. Unfortunately the security in IE 7 isn't letting me get it. So I'll get it through another box. Regards, Al > Sorry... can you explain the actual problem a bit clearer please? Ahh right - Media Center in the Decemeber CTP's totally screwed up - I can't think of anyone who's actually got it working. Check in February CTP (next few days).

I presume you're on the beta - if so then check out the Microsoft Connect site and the Vista subcategory - in the downloads section at the bottom there are some updates for Media Center. Try those and see if it works then. There's also a Media Center Diagnostics there as well - run that and see how things shape up. Hope this helps :o) SignatureZack Whittaker Microsoft Beta (Windows Server R2 Beta Mentor) » ZackNET Enterprises: www.zacknet.co.uk » MSBlog on ResDev: http://msblog.resdev.net » ZackNET Forum: www.zacknet.co.uk/forum » VistaBase: www.zacknet.co.uk/vistabase » This mailing is provided "as is" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
