Media Center Error

[dennisd]

Have you ever seen this error. I called Dell and was told that my warranty
does not cover software problems and this the charge would be $239 to fix.
The couple of solutions googled didn't work. The problem has something to do
with XP Service Pack 3, Net Framework 1.1, and Media Center Rollup 2. One of
the dll's has been overwritten by a later upgrade.

If you ask me, it's a bunch of bullshit. You'd think that after their
screw-up, Microsoft would fix the problem for free.

It is all a big conspiracy.

Please expand on the part that reads:

something to do with XP Service Pack 3, Net Framework 1.1 and Media
Center Rollup 2

We need to get the exact message(s) and eliminate the something to do
with part.
