Media Centre stops working

[Glenn]

When I open up Windows media centre and go to my picture library, media
centre closes down. I get the standard message that Media Centre has stopped
working and would I like to check for a solution. The solution is never
forthcoming and the programme closes down every time.
Does anyone else have this problem or know of solution,. I have Vista Home
premium

If you're having problems with Media Player (not Media Center), please try a
couple of things:
1) If you run Windows Media Player (WMP), as an administrator, that is,
right-click on the icon and choose that option, does it now work normally?
2) open your IE7 browser. Does it correctly display PNGs (PNG is an image
file format)? Go to the following page; all the selections down the left
side of the page are PNGs:

If you get red Xs the browser can't display PNGs properly. Run IE7 as
administrator; does it then work?

If you have these problems, and the things I suggested work to alleviate
them, then welcome to the club that's not very picky about it's membership;
many, many folks have this problem with Vista on their systems.

Read the following threads and post your ongoing comments/questions there.
The longer the one thread gets (the 1st one shown), the more likely something
will happen to create a fix.

If this isn't the problem you're having, then I apologize for making you
read all this.
Glenn: sorry I didn't address your issue. I don't know what's going on
with Media Center on your PC.

Can you seperately look at the pictures that are supposed to be in your
library? If so, can you try to create a new library?

Yes, please do follow up there. I'll try to ask various questions there so
that more data can be gleaned as we move along. I would *love* to be able
to reproduce this issue on one of my systems : that would greatly speed up
time to resolution. =\
