Media Center Receiver Service has encountered a problem

[Guest]

I just updated my HP a1467c running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002
Service Pack 2. I downloaded updates from Microsoft Update and now I keep
getting popups that state "Media Center Receiver Service has encountered a
problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Then I can
click on "Debug", "Send Error Report" or "Don't Send". Well I have clicked
on all three and the pop up keeps popping up, it will not stop. When I close
one another pops up in a few seconds to replace the previous one. I searched
the Microsoft data base and found no matches. I have tried to do a sytem
restore and it keeps saying that it can not restore, no changes made. Can
anyone tell me how to uninstall the updates that I downloaded this evening or
tell me what to do to get rid of these popups?

Regards,

Rod

You should be able to uninstall updates via Control Panel, Add/Remove
programs. You will need to know what the updates were to identify them.

As well, if you google "Media Center Receiver Service has encountered a

driver problems. If you can find any more detailed information on the
