Media Centre Crashing
Oct 10, 2009
Everytime I try and schedule a TV recording in Media Centre (freeview) on my PC, this message appears. If I click on OK to terminate it, it generates a crash error report. I always submit the reports but its not helping the situation. If I click cancel to debug it, this message appears. Can anyone shed some light into why I maybe experiencing this issues? I havent had any problems before like this but I recently changed my broadband provider to Talk Talk but I am very unhappy with the preformance and strength on my wireless network so Im going back to BT

Since installing SP3 my media centre will not open although the rest of XP runs fine. I get a report 'Strong name validation failed for assembly 'C:Windowsehomeehshell.exe. The file may have been tampered with or it was partially signed but not fully signed with the correct private key.I have the original installation disk from Dell, but it won't recognise the key that came with the pc to re install it. Is there any way I can repair the file in question. I have tried uninstalling sp3, and using the recovery program, but nothing is working to make it work again.

I am about to purchase an Acer Aspire 9500 for use at work on a windows 2003 server network. It will also be used shen I am traveling and at home. Does anyone know if XP Media Centre has the same functionality as XP Pro where network connectivity is concerned? Also are there any other things that I should be concerned about choosing XP Media Centre over XP Pro?

I've got a major problem and will be as concise as I can.XP Media Centre will not boot. When XP boots normally I get a message saying the Hive is corrupt or missing and the problem is C:systemrootsystem32configsystem with a c000000218 (sorry if wrong number of zeros).From recovery console chkdsk shows 'unrecoverable problem'; though fixmbr does seem to do something. When I try to install a fresh copy of XP MC there are no partitions shown to install to.The interesting thing is, I can boot either XP or Vista on my PC (OS' on separate HDs) and can see all the files on the C-drive and the files on other partitions on this drive from 'Computer' in Vista. So I guess the hard drive isn't faulty.

Im currently having problems with establishing a connection between my XBox 360 and my WMC PC. Here is what I have done so far.
1. Installed the expander on my PC.
2. Verified the code on XBox and PC.
3. Checked WMC version, and all is upto date
4. On XBox gone to Windows Media Centre and it comes up with "Windows Media Centre contacting" with a progress bar.
That page stays on for about 15/20 secs and then I get a message on the XBox saying "Another user or application on the Windows Media Centre-based PC has disconnected this device."I have read several topics on forums and microsoft support pages but all the things I have tried have failed. I have also tried just using Media Player 11 using it's sharing media options but it does not detect the XBox at all. However my laptop does.All programs which could affect eg: Firewalls, Decoders etc have been Uninstalled.

Trying to do the above with the 2 original Microsoft Media Centre install disks.It asks for disk 2 but says it is the wrong disk.Is this the fact that SP 3 is on the computer, and do I need to slip stream SP3 onto the Media Centre disks, and if so, do I do it on both ?

the problem was described as a non booting pc. That was it.I booted the pc to find the message ntldr missing. Did a repair of the mbr and replaced boot files. Still no luck. So i thought i'd try a live linux cd in it to see if i could work out weather it needs replacement hardware or whether it is a software error.
Anyway the pc boots and i've got access to all the drives, I take this opportunity to backup the user files and also take a copy of the hidden partion (as its a packard bell pc and the recovery files are there)I've downloaded the recovery cd from packard bell but it keeps asking for master disk 1 to be placed in dvd drive (which i haven't got cos the user has not made the backup disks).What i want to know is, is it possible to make the backup discs from the files I have recovered from the hidden partition? Is it possible to write these files with nero for instance as a bootable dvd and then install like that (i haven't tried this yet because the file size is 5.5 gig and i've got no dvd 9 discs to hand)Or last resort boot these files over the network and install that way. (i've never tried this and i'm not sure i know whats involved)

If I use XP Pro my Logitech Elite keyboard volume control knob turns the volume up and down smoothly regardless of if I am gaming etc but when I use the keyboard in XP Media Centre the volume control becomes very jerky and virtually uncontrollable. For instance it will be at 30% but if I turn it down one notch in XP Pro it would go down to 27% but in Media Centre it go go down to 20% or even 15% or even worse no volume.I have tried uninstalling the drivers, reinstalling them and nothing seems to work.

My PC is playing up everytime I open Media Centre. I think it may have to do with either the BIOS update, the graphic card or the TV card. The symptoms I am experiencing is every time I watch a programme I have recorded, either it freezes 1 minute into playing the recorded programme and I have to reboot by pressing the button on the processor (ALT-CTRL-DEL doesnt work). my PC reboots by itself while watching the recorded programme but when it starts up, the Windows XP logo/startup screen has lines and it wont start i.e. the screen freezes before I can see my desktop it freezes in between watching the recorded show and the screen flashes ALT-CTRL-DEL doesnt work in any of these situations. Neither does ALT+F4. The only thing I can do it shut it down by pressing the button on the processor, but if I dont switch it off from the back of the processor and plug it out from the main socket (and leave it for 10 seconds), the start up shows lines in the screen and then it freezes when the XP logo appears. I have also did System Restore 3 times! It works for a while but its a temporary solution to my ongoing problem (only started playing up 2 days ago).

I am building a new system soon and need advice on which version of XP I should use. My system will use an AM2 processor athlon64 and an Asus M2N-E motherboard. However in the future I may get a dual core CPU. Does Media Centre Edition support dual core?Is it worth running 64bit XP?Are there any differences in performance between the different versions?

I had a old computer given to me, (and I mean old, fixed it up just to do email and do letters etc, doubt it would cope with anything else) anyway I got it going and managed to load the OS on to it, (XP Pro) checked and all drivers where present so XP Pro had all the drivers (shows how old the mother board is) anyway before installing service packs etc I went to turn some bells and whistles off and configure settings as I like them. (This computer has not yet been connected to the Internet, I have not even put an Ethernet cord into it yet, so not a virus) I go into the Control Panel and there is no security centre icon there, this is the first time I have come across this. I have searched the net but only articles or forum entries I have come across have been for if malware or other nasties had been removed and then noticed the icon missing, so this does not apply to me as its a fresh install, and this computer has not been connected yet.
Ideas running through my head is maybe updating drivers, or something to do with the bios, going to check the hard drive itself tomorrow, a bit hesitant to try things unless I know its going to help other than this everything seems to be opening and closing as per usual.It just amazes me with all the installs I have done (in the hundreds +) and this is the first time I have had this happenAny ideas will be much appreciated, oh and have not loaded anything else on yet, its just the basic OS, decided not to go any further with installing of anything else till I have sorted this

After the most recent updates to McAfee Security Centre, I have been unable to locate the part of this security package where cookies where listed ie. there was a list of sites from which cookies were allowed or blocked.It was available through the Advanced menu of the Internet Section but it is not there anymore.Prior to this update, I was prompted whenever I went into a new website if I wanted to allow or block cookies.If I wanted to change this at a later date, I could go into the cookie blocking section of McAfee and change it to either block or allow and there were two separate lists of the allow cookies sites, or the block cookies sites.I understand I can adjust cookie blocking via Internet Explorer but this McAfee function let me choose as I entered individual sites.I have been in contact with 3 McAfee technicians who dont seem to know what I am asking and my Security Centre has been scanned via the McAfee tool and there are no faults in it.

Having recently had someone else using my computer for a while, installing various software (like winamp and SubEdit player) it seems windows media player (that's what I use) no longer recognises the usual files as media files like .mp3 .wmv .m3u .avi etc etc so when I click open file and select "media files (all types)" in the file type box it shows nothing, so I have to change it to all files which is irritating. Media player still plays everything fine but this is pretty annoying.

For about two weeks now my computer keeps crashing every time I turn it on. At first it wouldn't turn off when I go to shut down, then afterwards, it won't boot up normally. I turn it on and it freezes, every time, I have to hold down the power button, wait for a few seconds then try again. It will then boot up or ask to boot up from the Last Known Good. Either way, it will boot, get to the WIndows menu and sometimes crashes again and reboots automatically. I've reported this to Microsoft each time, and I've already re-formatted and re-installed Windows and the problem still persists.

My CPU is constantly 100%. My computer is terribly slow and may applications suddenly crash without warning. Firefox and print shop are the main crashers. I did a clean boot and after that the speed was absolutely fantastic,no crashes and very little CPU Usage. However, as soon as I added any of my essential applications(logmein,trend micro,Google desktop,linksys) the same problem was immediately back. I disabled these programs one by one and it still happens.

I've been experiencing random crashes of Explorer.exe, and when looking at the Application window of the Event Viewer it details this:
Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.2800.1106, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.1106, fault address 0x00001d24.
I searched around the internet and found no real answer, there's some solutions which require using the Data Execution Prevention tab with SP2, and adding explorer.exe to the list. I plan to try this, but I was wondering, would replacing ntdll.dll with another computer's possibly fix the problem? It's been an annoyance now for a month, and I've ran every virus scan, every spyware/malware/ware-ness program known to man, to no avail.
