Disk Cleanup Deletes Windows Media Center

D

David

I recently ran disk cleanup on Vista premium and then selected the option
that gains more disk space by deleting old restore points (I did not choose
the option that deletes unused programs). The utility freed an amazing 35 GB
of space on my C drive, but also deleted the Windows Media Center
application. Poof - gone. All that remains is my desktop shortcut. Any
ideas for recovering the application short of a system restore?

Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories and right-click
on the Command Prompt and choose "Run as administrator".
Type in: SFC /SCANNOW and press your Enter key.

If that does not work, try repairing your system. Boot from your Windows
Vista DVD, select the System Repair Option > on the setup screen, select
'Repair Computer > Select your installation of Windows > select Startup
Repair option and follow instructions.
