ehRecvr.exe error message

[PackinMyLife]

I continue to get the following message "Windows Media Center Receiver
Service has stopped working" and is tied to ehRecvr.exe. I've tried multiple
solutions to no avail. Does anyone have any potential solution based on the
problem signature that I receive?

Mark,

Thanks for the post. I've already tried all of the items presented at
Stebner's site but none worked.

Does anyone have insight? Thanks.

Which specific version of ffdshow were you using? Since it's still in beta
as far I'm aware, there's a bunch of problems in it still. =\

I thought 1723 was the last stable beta version?
http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/


I haven't personally had problems with eHome/FFDShow because I don't put
random codecs like that on my key systems that have MCE. I'm probably more
aware of the problems with bad codecs than about anyone else out there, so I
really tend to shy away from random or bad codecs. FFDShow Tryouts is
definitely a step above, but -- it's still not something that I think I want
to be putting on boxes that I Care about. =\

I do not have ffdshow on my computer.

Are there any other fixes to te ehRecvr.exe error message and not being able
to view live TV via MCE in Vista?

Thanks for any help.

No special codecs installed...
