Re: Vista Ultimate:-”No Services Found” in Online Media 
Have you tried what "chuck" and "okeos" said in that discussion?
"I was having the same problem in Vista and as with others that I found on the
web, my problem wasn't resolved. I have however found a fix to my problem. It
seems that the online services never installed a dll and corresponding folder
that was necessary for it to work.

The section that it’s in is within the “c:\program data\ehome” folder. There
should be a sub folder called something like mcespotlight or just spotlight.
I not home and I am doing this from memory so give me a little leeway. Within
the spotlight folder should be a cab file, also called somethine like
spotlight.cab or mcespotlight.cab and a corresponding sub folder with the
same name which contains the dll file.

The program data folder is a systems folder and therefore hidden so you have
to go into folder option and uncheck the hide system files checkbox to see it.

What I found in there was 2 .tmp files, most likely the cab file and folder
which never finished setting up. I remember Media Center locking up after the
first install and I guess it was never re-setup on subsequent re-installs.

I was lucky enough to have another PC with Vista Media Center, both PC’s
have been “Windows Updated” to the latest version. I copied the whole
spotlight sub folder from that machine and pasted it onto the broken one and
then deleted the .tmp files.

This is what worked for me and maybe help you. "


Also "okeos" said

"
Chuck's answer finally gave me the clues needed to solve this. The actual
missing item is located in

\programdata\Microsoft\eHome\Packages

Their should be a folder in their called MCESpotlight

That folder should have a file MCESpotlight.cab and another folder called
MCESpotlight

The second folder should have a file called SpotlightResources.dll

When I copied these file over from my Mac (Where it worked) the missing
items appeared after restarting media center. "

Yes,I did.

I don't find any such folder except Client Update folder there.And Vishal got MCESpotlight while he missed the rest of the folders.Moreover there was no cab file-all empty.So I created those folders.But I don't have Cab files.

And look what "okeos" did:-

When I copied these file over from my Mac (Where it worked) the missing
items appeared after restarting media center. "


I don't have any other machine where those folders or dll/cab files are present-so that I could have cross checked.

Re: Vista Ultimate:-”No Services Found” in Online Media 
I completely agree with SSG.
Thats true I didnt find any folder except "MCESpotlight" and that was too blank.

Tweaking with Vishal

Ok Guys,I have fixed the problem.

Everything is up and running fine.

Let me say what I did.

Here are the steps:-

Open Control Panel > Folder Options > View > Enable Show hidden files and folders. > OK/Apply.

Go to My Computer > Open  C:\ProgramData\Microsoft

Now double Click on eHome.There you will find Packages.If everything is fine(i.e.in normal condition) in a system then there should be four sub-folders under the Package folder-these are:-

1]ClientUpdate-includes ClientUpdate cab and DefaultGeoSettings file.

2]MCESpotlight-it contains a SpotlightResources.dll and MCESpotlight cab file.

3]SportsSchedule-it contains SportsSchedule.mxf and SportsSchedule.enc files.

4]SportsTemplate-it has three cab files namely-ScheduleSupplement,SportsTemplate and SportsTemplateCore.There are also ScheduleSupplement.mxf,FoxSports.sdp and Microsoft.MediaCenter.Sports.UI.dll files.

Now all these above are created flawlessly if the EPG downloading is excellent and during the initial MCE set up.

So another suspected item remains apart from Package folder.It's the EPG.You can locate it under:-C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\EPG

Next I deleted both these folders;(You can delete Package folder only also-as a trial error method)i.e. Package and EPG.Reboot the System.Open Vista MCE >Settings>General>Windows Media Center Setup>Run Set up again

Waw!  under the Online Media I am now finding explore and Program Library.So long the explore was missing.Program Library icludes Games.

Now clicking the explore you will find <Showcase>,<tv+movies>,<music+radio>,<news+sports> etc  all are functioning.

You can do the same in case of 32 bit version also,if you face the similar situation.

Otherthings you can do apart from the above solution:-

a simple reinstallation,or copy the Package folder contents from any 32/64 bit machine where all the above components are funtional and simply replace the damaged Package folder.

And finally you need a small thing-Adobe flash player.Just visit to the concerned site and download and install the latest flash player.

Remember 64Bit Vista Ultimate has less contents under the Online Media than the 32 Bit version.It's normal.Don't worry.I am now enjoying cool new experience-hope you will too.
