OK, I'm going to assume that Media Center does open, but when you click "live tv" you get the "CANNOT START WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER" error?

Look in device manager to see if the tuner card is working properly, also try updating/reinstalling the latest drivers for the tuner card.

Also, can you play other media in Media Center? DVD, music, other stuff? If so, it may be just a problem with the tuner card.
