Vista Tutorial - Vista Media Center will not stop recording.

When using Vista Media Center it will record a program but it will not stop
recording. When I try to stop, it give a error that a crititcal process has
stopped working. This also happens when I try to delete a scheduled
recording. When this is happening I can only watch live TV on the channel
that was scheduled for the previous recording.

Hi,

Did you manage to resolve this? - I seem to have the same problem.

Thanks

Gareth

I'm experiencing the same issue. My system is schedule to record a show at noon & 3 PM Monday-Friday. When I get home @ 5:30 I see the Red Recording Icon and it says it's recording the two shows but it's not. I have to restart my system to clear the Media Center error.

Last night I did reinstall the software and drivers for my Dvico TV tuner card so I'll see if that fixed the problem tonight and post my findings.

I fixed the issue by editing the XML file keeps the details of which files are shedualed and have been recorded. If you search the file for the name of the show that errored in recording, you may find as I did, some differences to normal recordings. I just removed the entire node for the recording, saved the file and everything is good.

Hope this helps

Gareth
