Vista - "Media Center has stopped working"

I did an upgrade from MCE 2005 to Vista Home premium last night. This moring
i tried to launch media center to see the changes. Just when i double clicked
it i remembered that i hadnt istalled the Vista driver for my X1950XT yet,
but there was nothing i could do. Media center opened for a second, then a
blue screen with a long error message showed up and the computer re-booted. I
immediatly Vista'd all the drivers on my computer once i was back on again.
Now when i try to open media center, a message comes up saying "Media Center
has stopped working. Searching for a solution". It tells me it will let me
know when a solution to the problem becomes available. Can anyone tell me how
to fix this? is it possible to re-install just media center and not the whole
operating system? i couldnt find it in the Add/remove programs part of the
control panel. Thanls in advance.

Nobody?

Hi steve,

I have the same problem. Whenever i click on mediacenter it gives me
the error " Media center has stopped working" and is doing the same
'reporting the trouble to microsoft'. But on searching the groups and
internet, i see that many are having this issue and iam not sure what
microsoft is still doing to fix this after collecting huge sums of
money for their products.

I see the same issue whenever I decide to use iTunes, and sometimes when I
am expanding the desktop to a second screen. I don't think there is a direct
cause for it. Definitely a bug.

What's the fault information that you get from the Problem Reports and
Solutions center:
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#bucket
can help you look that up if you don't know how.

I having similar problems -- here's my error info:

Description
Stopped working

Problem signature
Problem Event Name: CLR20r3
Problem Signature 01: ehshell.exe
Problem Signature 02: 6.0.6000.16386
Problem Signature 03: 4549b55e
Problem Signature 04: ehshell
Problem Signature 05: 6.0.6000.0
Problem Signature 06: 460b2f41
Problem Signature 07: 57f5
Problem Signature 08: 21
Problem Signature 09: System.NullReferenceException
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 1033

Extra information about the problem
Bucket ID: 34106795

What's the context? This should be unrelated to that and apparently some
recent issue, which makes it smell initially like some new third party
problem.
