| | Media Center works only under other user I've had this problem for months: Media Center starts, works for about 10 seconds then goes belly up, displays a message like "Media Center Has Stopped Working," then goodbye. But when I tried it under a different user (both of them administrators), it works! What the hell is going on here??? I've done all the updates for Windows, video drivers, etc. Mine is a Vista Ultimate Pentium D 3.0gig with 2gig ram and loads of disk space, a geForce 8500GT video card. |

| | Re: Media Center works only under other user Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories and right-click on the Command Prompt and choose "Run as administrator". Type in: SFC /SCANNOW and press your Enter key. If that does not, work, try doing a System Restore to a point in time prior to experiencing this problem. If that does not work, try repairing your system. Boot from your Windows Vista DVD, select the System Repair Option > on the setup screen, select 'Repair Computer > Select your installation of Windows > select Startup Repair option and follow instructions. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry <mwulfe@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1mmfi35qrfdq8l3hij3cgofk9e6is0pqfg@xxxxxx Quote: > I've had this problem for months: Media Center starts, works for about > 10 seconds then goes belly up, displays a message like "Media Center > Has Stopped Working," then goodbye.

| | Re: Media Center works only under other user I performed the SFC, and when it was 99% complete it stopped with the message, "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation." What does that mean??? System restore has not worked because I have had the problem since I first installed Vista several months ago. I have tried system repair several times, and it has not helped, since it does not find any problems.

| | Re: Media Center works only under other user Try doing an in-place upgrade over the existing installation to see if it will correct the problem. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry <mwulfe@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:fdpgi3pj2r8a59jbf2hm4urnrrgjqk3hri@xxxxxx Quote: >I performed the SFC, and when it was 99% complete it stopped with the > message, "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested > operation."

| | Re: Media Center works only under other user My concern about doing that is I will have to reinstall all of my software, which is a substantial job. How can I be sure I won't have to do that again?
