📎 AI Summary:
The user initially reported an error in Windows Media Center on Windows 8.1 Pro, where recorded TV videos would not display despite recording and live TV working correctly. After attempts to restart the program and system, the issue persisted, but drivers were up to date. The problem was eventually resolved by allowing Nvidia to automatically uninstall old drivers before installing new ones, restoring recorded TV playback; the user then planned to seek help on a separate issue with their Music and Pictures folders.

**SOLVED**I got WMC playing my recorded tv again. I forgot all about letting NVidia automatically uninstall old driver's before it installs new ones. Now I need to start a new thread about the Music and Pictures folder's not displaying properly still.
