Critical update for Windows XP Media Center Edition (815487)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition
SYMPTOMSThis update provides stability and performance enhancements,
and resolves the following issues:
- If you try to record an episode of a series that has been
removed from the schedule, the whole series is deleted. (For example, if you
schedule a series to record, cancel the current episode from recording, and
then schedule the current episode to record by using Guide or the One Touch
Record feature. If you do this, the current episode is recorded but the rest of
the series is deleted.)
- Program Guide may take up to 10 seconds or more to appear
and may cause the video to freeze while Program Guide is loading. Some or all one-time and
series schedule recording requests may be unexpectedly removed from the
Scheduled Recordings menu. This does not affect manual recording requests.
- This update resolves an issue in the Program Guide loading software for Media Center that may
prevent scheduled series recordings from being updated with new information. The recordings are not updated
unless the Media Center shell is open during the daily Program Guide download
process. If the schedule is not updated correctly at least one time during a two
week period, particular shows that are scheduled to be recorded can be
missed.
