Media Center Desktop PCs

BLP asked:


I just replaced the batteries on my wireless mouse for the first time and now whenever I use it I get a “replace your wireless mouse battery” warning about every 10-15 seconds. It is exceptionally annoying. I can’t figure out how to get rid of this warning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My mouse has no reset button, only a “connect” button, which I pushed, but I still get the error. I went to my mouse settings, but there is no “configure settings”. There is a “hardware” tab, and I looked at both “settings” and did the “troubleshooting” procedure, neither of which helped.

Any other suggestions? Really appreciate the help.

Hi,

I recently purchased HP z540 media center pc which is connected to the tv. I have a tv stand thats made of wood and have a small hole in the back for the wires. Other than that small, it has no other ventilation except when I open the glass door. My question is it safe to put it into the tv stand (i.e. won’t over heat if I leave it on 24/7)?

If i connect it to my media center 2005 pc, would it store the programs I record to the Xbox or the PC? Can I set it to store to the XBOX? or transfer them to the Xbox and play them locally? thanks!

I have a Compaq Media Center PC with an Athlon 64 3500+ processor, 1 GB memory, 256MB shared video memory, and a 200GB hard drive. I installed an after market PVR-500 TV Tuner.

My CPU usage keeps spiking. Would either a memory upgrade, a new video card with dedicated memory, or both, help this problem? I am trying to do other tasks while it is recording television shows, but the CPU spiking is prohibiting that, making things very slow, and causing problems with the connection to the XBOX.

Is it possible to run XP:MCE on a non Media Center Edition PC. I am wondering this because I want to use the media center functions on my Xbox 360. Will it work?

I reallly want to be able to stream video thru my Xbox 360 but it seems I cannot without a Media Center PC. But since it is an operating system would I be able to buy the software and run it on my existing PC?
