Recently we allowed Media Player 11 to update through our WUS Server (Windows
Update Server), and even though it states that you do not need admin rights.
You must log the user off, log on as admin, and let the script for Media
Player 11 to finish.  After that Media Player works fine.  Does anyone have
any ideas?

Yes, you need to raise this as an issue with windows update.

WMP11 *definitely* needs admin rights, since it installs system
services for network media sharing which were previously offered by
windows media connect 2, which also requires admin rights since
installing a system and network services just does ;-)

Windows Update URL no longer functions Windows 7 Recently (in the last 6 months or so) the link in my start menu for Windows Update (http: / / windowsupdate.microsoft.com / ) seems to find the server, but then simply shows a blank screen and "Done" on the status bar.

folders Windows 7 I have several watched folders on a Windows Vista Premium system and recently the Media Center Video Library no longer is showing any files. I have made no changes to the system (other than I noticed a recent Windows update took place). I can exit Windows Media Center and open all the video files via Windows Media Player, so they are all available and accessible from Windows. All other files, watched music and photos are working fine from Media Center, it is just the Video Library that is not showing any files. All the media (music, photos, video) are on a Windows Home Server. As mentioned, all the media files
