"Media Center has stopped working"

[Guest]

I did an upgrade from MCE 2005 to Vista Home premium last night. This moring
i tried to launch media center to see the changes. Just when i double clicked
it i remembered that i hadnt istalled the Vista driver for my X1950XT yet,
but there was nothing i could do. Media center opened for a second, then a
blue screen with a long error message showed up and the computer re-booted. I
immediatly Vista'd all the drivers on my computer once i was back on again.
Now when i try to open media center, a message comes up saying "Media Center
has stopped working. Searching for a solution". It tells me it will let me
know when a solution to the problem becomes available. Can anyone tell me how
to fix this? is it possible to re-install just media center and not the whole
operating system? i couldnt find it in the Add/remove programs part of the
control panel. Thanls in advance.

Hi steve,

I have the same problem. Whenever i click on mediacenter it gives me
the error " Media center has stopped working" and is doing the same
'reporting the trouble to microsoft'. But on searching the groups and
internet, i see that many are having this issue and iam not sure what
microsoft is still doing to fix this after collecting huge sums of
money for their products.

I see the same issue whenever I decide to use iTunes, and sometimes when I
am expanding the desktop to a second screen. I don't think there is a direct
cause for it. Definitely a bug.

What's the fault information that you get from the Problem Reports and
Solutions center:
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#bucket
can help you look that up if you don't know how.

What's the context? This should be unrelated to that and apparently some
recent issue, which makes it smell initially like some new third party
problem.
