How do I change the download time of the guide in Media Center? It is
currently waking me up in the middle of the night. I've found many posts on
how to change the time when using Win XP MCE but none of these ideas have
worked with Vista. Is there a version of TweakMCE.msi that works on Vista?

Thanks

The link in Doug Knox's post takes me to a page with a link to download a
tool to change the time.

That link does not work, I get some Cyberlink home server error messages
while trying to download "MceDlTimeEditor_0.1.zip from www.pegasi.com".

What are the actual registry entries to change the guide download times?
What about the MCE update times? Can they be changed?

My wife is about to throw the PC out of the window.

I've tried the download from 3 different PCs on 3 different ISPs. None work.

This is the link in the blog post that fails:
http://www.pegasi.com/MceDlTimeEditor_0.1.zip

The question remains: what are the registry entries to change all media
center wakes (guide, updates, other)?

Thanks,

Bob

the link isn't working today for me. I'm sorry I don't know the
registry settings that are needed.
