    I scheduled a 5 minute recording then placed the computer to sleep. The computer woke up at the start of the scheduled recording, showed the red recording icon on the tray, then completed the 5 minute recording but did not go back to sleep. I didn't touch anything. Just watched my monitor to see if it would go back to sleep but it didn't. I then replayed the recording just to make sure it recorded the correct channel and the recording was fine. I was able to delete it too.

    Good, I think that is the expected result.

    Sorry I haven't been more responsive/appreciative... it's been that kind of week here.

    I just uninstalled the old version, tried to install the new one, got an odd message... will reboot and try again.

    Upgrade the video card is the preferred method or bypass the DCA. DCA bypass has been difficult to find lately, but it is out there somewhere. If time is worth more than money, it might be more economical to call Newegg.

    So I got the same error as before. It appears to be going just fine, but then it:
    Error: 0x800f0922

    DISM failed. No operation was performed.
    For more information, review the log file.

    The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

    Installing package failed, reverting...

    You may reboot and try again
    refer to C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log to find error details.

    I know how to get to those pages, but have no idea what I'm looking at, so I'll run through it all again...

    Third try, it apparently installed successfully, but I haven't been able to get it to open.
    I found it, and tried opening it from the start menu, nada. Then I pinned it to the taskbar and tried from there.
    I've rebooted a couple of times, now what?

    Maybe you missed some little detail. Have a little read starting at post 4777. I think you might have to use v8, SFC, and redo v12.

    Open up TestRights again and type in %windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe

    Does that open WMC?

    I uninstalled and deleted all of it, downloaded it again. The only thing I did differently was to unpack it to c:/wmc as suggested. Ran test rights as administrator, then installer as administrator. It didn't install on the first try, but did on the second. And it still won't open.

    As mentioned by T-S above try to go in the task scheduler > Task Scheduler library > Windows > Media center, and run the MediaCenterRecoveryTask

    So I'm at Task Scheduler, found Microsoft > Windows > Media Center
    I found MediaCenterRecoveryTask and it's running
    But now what? Is something supposed to happen? Stop happening? The status says running, but the last run result says it has not run yet.

    see post 4815..........

    rightclick testrights and runas administrator.

    testrights will open a second dos window.

    in the second dos window type cd c:\ hit enter
    then type cd wmc\wmc64 hit enter
    then type installer hit enter

    The second window had opened so quickly I hadn't realized that it was a different window
    That said, I typed cd c:\, hit enter, then at the new prompt, cd wmc\wmc64 and got "The system cannot find the path specified".

    You must use the path where you put your file. Say you extracted to downloads, then you would type C:\, then at the new prompt cd %userprofile%\downloads.

    launch it manually, it does nothing of visible. Just clears any wmc setting that may have been corrupted.

    If your problem was there, wmc will start

    This is the entire path, C:\WMC\WMC_6.3.9600.16384_x64_v12 (1) and it say "The system cannot find the path specified"
    Clearly I'm doing something wrong, if I knew what it was, I do it differently.
