How Shall I Install Windows Media Center On Windows 8 N

Posted on by mymce

Problem:-

If I have an installation of Windows 8 N, how do I get Media Center? I installed the Media Feature Pack , I find only Windows Media Player; there seems to be no way to add Media Center in the feature upgrade section.

Resolution:-

Unfortunately there is no way to install Windows Media Center over Windows 8 N.It can only be installed on Windows 8 Pro machines.According to Microsoft’s KB Article:-

“The N and KN editions of Windows 8 include the same functionality as Windows 8, except for media-related technologies (Windows Media Player, web camera), and certain preinstalled media apps (Camera, Music, and Video). In addition, the KN editions do not include certain preinstalled communication apps (Calendar, Mail, Messaging, and People). You need other software from Microsoft or another company for this communication functionality and to play or create audio CDs, media files, and video DVDs; stream music; take and store pictures; and use a webcam. Some websites and software—like Windows Store apps, Microsoft Office, Encarta, and FrontPage—rely, to varying extents, upon Windows Media–related files that aren’t incorporated in these editions of Windows. End users can make these websites and software work properly by installing the Media Feature Pack for N and KN editions of Windows 8 (KB2703761).

This Supplement installs Windows Media Player and related technologies on the N and KN versions of all Windows 8 editions. This update does not include or install Windows Media Center or pre-installed Windows Store apps. Additional software will be required to playback or record certain types of media, including DVDs.”

How Can I tag Songs Released Prior To 1900 In Windows Media Player?

Posted on by mymce

Problem:-

I have many songs in my album but I can’t find a way to tag songs prior to year 1900.The release year is deleted if I type anything before 1900.

Resolution:-

Unfortunately this is by design .

There was no digital music files prior to 1900.WMP doesn’t support overloading the tag-this is a real limitation.

 

Activation Issue with Windows Media Center In Windows 8.1 Pro RTM

Posted on by mymce

 

 

Problem:-

I have downloaded and installed Windows 8.1 RTM version 9600 using TechNet Retail Subscription key. It was a Clean installation. The OS got activated but I am unable to activate WMC.I used the same product key of WMC supplied by Microsoft.

Resolution:-

There was a long discussion regarding this issue at TechNet forum. You can go through the thread :-

You may get this fixed by phone activation. Or,you can use a different Windows Media Center key (if you have). That’s the easiest way to fix this annoying problem. Otherwise just wait till 18th October, when it will be released to the public.
