The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

media center nightmare

Asked by karlengland in Miscellaneous Software, Video Cards, Hard Drives & Storage

Tags: video, display, files, center, media

This is the history of my sorry tale.

when i got my computer i used the media center a little but didn't really get on with it because it kept on failing to pick up channel 3 and 4 ( i'm in the UK)

scroll on a year and i'm giving it another go, however when i went to LIVE TV it said something about a video error and then crashed

i found this site: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/12/27/507654.aspx

and did what it said, this seemed to help, in that the media center doesn't crash now. however when i went to LIVE TV it raises a no signal message.

if i go to MY VIDEO a message comes up saying 'files needed to display video are not installed or not working correctly....'

after reading page after page in the green button forums and not seeing a conclusive fix this is what i tried

uninstalled cccp pack. result: no change

run rollup. result : disaster! the rollup ran for a moment then said something along the lines of  'rollup unsuccesful, your computer will now restart' when it restarted, it seemed to have returned to factory seettings, ie i've lost every photo, video, document,  email settings, favourates you name it , its gone.

i did a system restore to the beginning of this month, all that did was restore my internet connection.

So please can someone help? you may have gleaned from this saga that i'm not exactly a computer whizz so if you can help, primarily with restoring all my lost info, secondly with the media center problem, please keep it simple

thanks in advance

(i'm not sure how many points this is worth, but as its all relative and to me this is a nightmare i've allocated 500)
