| Home Premium x64 | Media Center Has Stopped Working - x64 I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium x64. I have a Q6600 at stock speeds, as well as an EVGA 8800GT. Whenever I try to start up Windows Media Center, an error pops up saying "Media Center Has Stopped Working" the usual error pop up when a program crashes. Nothing pops up, just that error message. I've tried running ehshell.exe with no luck. Help is appreciated. Thanks! |

| Vista Ultimate x64 MAK, OpenSolaris 5, Gentoo 2008.1.... | Re: Media Center Has Stopped Working - x64 Hi, TOwens81, and welcome to the forums. First off, have you installed any codec packs? If you uninstall them all. If this does not help next try a Code: SFC /SCANNOW |

| Home Premium x64 | Re: Media Center Has Stopped Working - x64 I have not installed any codec packs, with the exception of VLC media player. Does that have anything to do with it? I will try the SFC Scan Now command ASAP. |

| Home Premium x64 | Re: Media Center Has Stopped Working - x64 Where can I locate the CBS log? Is it the file "CBS" or "FilterList"? |

| Vista Ultimate x64 MAK, OpenSolaris 5, Gentoo 2008.1.... | Re: Media Center Has Stopped Working - x64 Windows Explorer, by default, hides the extension of the files. You can enable explorer to show you the file extension in the options. However, since the program asked for CBS.log, and I told you *not* the CBS.persist, I thought that made it evident to check the CBS.log file, which shows up as CBS in your explorer window. My apologies for not explicitly stating CBS. I get so used to running explorer to show my the file extensions that I forget that just looking at it does not really tell you which is which when extensions are hidden. |
