Media Center Wizard Crashes

Ok so going through the wizard it doesnt actualy freeze, but i get a windows msg telling me it stoped responding and blocks access to media centre.. if I click fast enough I can get farther in the wizard...

Fresh Vistax64 install with SP1+updates.

Here's my system details:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ (Brisbane)
Asus M2A-VM (Bios v1705)
Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400 8GB 4X2GB CL4-4-4-12
Sapphire Radeon HD2600XT 800MHZ 512MB (Catalyst™ 8.4)
Western Digital Caviar GP 1TB 1000GB
Sapphire Theatrix Theater 650 Pro PCI (ATI Theater™ 8.4)
Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Audio 24BIT Sound Card 7.1 PCI-E (Driver v1.03.0001)
LG GGC-H20L BLU-RAY HD-DVD Reader

Initially I had an issue with the system no graphic acceleration was possible and would just crash the system. This issue was resolved with the bios update (original v0907) and the SP1. Since the update the system is running perfectly exept for Media Center, Media Player works great, I can watch DVD and Bluerays no probleme.

When I try to run the initial wizard seems to run ok, it doesnt look like it freezes until I get the error telling me WMC as stop responding... withc blocks access to WMC.

I didnt have Divx, Xvid, AC3 or any other codec installed yet,with or without it still does the same. I havnt installed Nero yet, the only software I have installed is Power DVD Ultra 7.3, AVG 8.0 and uTorrent.

I cant post the error msg I am not at home at the moment but I will post it once I get there later today.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Here's the error its giving me

Re: Media Center Wizard Crashes

Hi xephion,

PowerDVD installs its own codecs for multimedia support I think its installing XP codecs onto your system and causing the malfunction, Try uninstalling it and AVG temporary and see if it fixes the issue your having...

Also checkout this thread...Vista Codec Pack - 32bit & 64bit Media Player Codecs

Let me know if you have any success.
cheers

No...The Vista Codec pack has the blue-ray codecs.

Hey xophion,

Sorry I thought they did, I found out the WMP doesnt have any free blue-ray codecs only PowerDVD, WinDVD, TotalMedia Theatre and Nero Showtime have blue-ray support.

Try creating a new user account and setting up WMC?
