Fixing "No Services Found" for FM Radio in Windows Media Center on Vista.
1. Click the Vista "pearl" ("Start" button).
2. Search for "services.msc".
3. Click the "services" program and click "Continue" on the User Account Control prompt.
4. The "Services" management console will come up and you will see a list of services on your machine.
5. Scroll down the list until you find "Windows Media Center Receiver Service" in the Name column.
6. Double click on the "Windows Media Center Receiver Service" name.
7. You'll be presented with a dialog with multiple tabs titled "Windows Media Center Receiver Service Properties (Local Computer)".
8. Click on the "Log On" tab at the top.
9. At the top of the "Log On" tab, you will see two radio buttons. The first says "Local System account". Make sure that radio button is checked.
10. After setting the Log On radio button to "Local System account", click "OK".
11. At this point you can restart your computer and try Windows Media Center again. If you are sure that Windows Media Center is closed then you can take a short cut by click the "Restart Service" button at the top of the "Services" management console.
12. Go back into Windows Media Center and "No Services Found" should be replaced by the FM Radio icon.
