wenn man auf einem Windows MediaCenter PC die Datenkarte von T-Mobile installiert kann das Programm nicht mit dem Internet verbinden, solange die ehsched.exe ausgeführt wird. Diese muß im Taskmanager geschlossen werden!

ehsched.exe is a process belonging to the Microsoft Media Center which adds additional multimedia functions to this operating system. This program is a non-essential process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems.

On my eMachines T5048, neither internal or external modems would answer incoming calls (fax or LapLink) with ehsched.exe running. Disabled it in Admin Tools/Services and modem(s) work fine. Could care less about MCE functions. My personal rating - PITA.

Das interessante an der Sache ist, dass die wenigsten User wissen, wie man diesen Dienst ausstellt, bzw was ein Task Manager ist.
