Pavilion Media Center

Hi there,

You might want to try to go to the device manager and go to the Universal Serial Bus controllers

Try to uninstall everything and restart the computer.

See if that will let the computer recognise the USB ports.

If that does not work, you might want to reinstall the chipset drivers of your motherboard.

Hope this works for you.

You may have a boot problem. When you turn it on immediately press the "F8" key repeatedly until you get an option to select an option to restore the hard drive or boot in the safe mode.

possible malware issue, try downloading free malware anti virus from this sight. download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

do you mean the OS wont boot or the pc itself wont boot? can you get to the bios?

Your laptop still has a virus. From your description, you seem computer savy. What u need to do is you need to boot your system with UBCD ( can be downloaded at www.UBCD4win.com) and search for files with the extension as .exe and delete the ones that look like folders.

then you reboot and try and log into your system. Next, download a software called Combofix. You google it out and get a download. run that to remove the remaining viruses and fix your regsitry.

If AVG can't heal the virus, you need another program. Try this one:

It's Malware Bytes' Anti-malware. It is very effective when AVG fails.

ya i did that once to and the only way i could get rid of it was to restore the computer or fix it if your runing vista you can install your restore disk and it wil ask you to restore ,fix,or to restore all try to fix first .....

Have you gone through the media center installation process and got the tuner / tuners setup properly?

i would suggest that you either roll back your driver for the graphics card or do a system restore to a date previous to when the drivers were updated, this wil show in the system restore dates boxes. You are probably running the generic windows driver for your graphics, it's better to see what updates you are installing before updating any hardware drivers.
