Re: Starting Media Centre the first time with Vista Ultimate

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Thx Doug for your suggestion, I have already tried to run
Setup again and it didn't work, setup only changed the
monitor setup, speaker setup and folders setup.
I was hoping I could get Media Centre to initiate the
screen when it first start up the first time.

It's only a formality anyway, everything else is working
perfectly in Windows Vista Ultimate and I can download
software for downloading online movies to media centre
but I've been told its not compatible with Vista YET!
Any other suggestions Doug?
Regards,
Warren

Go to Settings, General, Windows Media Center Setup, Run Setup Again. Since I'm not in AU, I can't guarantee that this will start the Bigpond's installation again.

I have recently come across a problem in media centre using Windows Vista Ultimate.

There was NO problems starting media centre but when media centre first started up
I was asked if I wanted to install Big ponds online movies in Australia which is supported by
Microsoft Windows Media Centre and I clicked NO to stop the download.
Now I'm a member of the bigpond online movies, I would like to START the
download again and have downloaded content streamed to my media centre
via bigpond BUT the problem is when I start media centre now I'm not asked if I would
like to start the download again..and there's no options to start the download.

How do I provoke media centre using vista to think its starting up for the first time again?
or how do I start the download again?

I'm sure I could reinstall media centre again but I would like to know if there is another
way to get media centre to asks me again if I would like to except the download of
bigpond..I'm sure the same question would be asked in other countries that support
online movie downloads and I'm sure I'm not the only one that's said NO to the download
the first time media centre's started so how do you get Media Centre to asks for the
download window again!!!
Any Suggestion PLEASE???

Regards,
Warren
