Media Center has stopped working

I've selected "run as Administrator" and it worked. Media Center opened, but another error occured. I've checked the Device Manager to see if anything needed to be updated (video/audio) as you recommended and the only thing that I've found wrong is one of my network adapters has a problem (Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)), but I don't think this has anything to do with Media Center issue, right? Following the new error on Media Center and once again thank you very much for your help.

..Check for updated drivers anyway.. Device Manager will frequently say that everything's working correctly even when it's not..

But the network adapter problem could indeed be the culprit in the new error message. Media Center's "Media Center Extensibility Host" used the network to allow certain applications to work correctly.. If the adapter isn't functioning as it should, the "Ehexthost.exe" error could be the result.. As before, check the manufacturer's site for updated drivers for your network adapter both ethernet and wireless, if you have one... Installing the adapter driver might p

Hope this helps.

I work with alot of older systems and updates are always hard to find
But! on c/net or download.com
i found a program called Radar Sync 2007
and no i dont work for either
but anyway its not a free program but it was like under $30
and what it does is auto scan your comp hardware and software as well and automaticly shows you every update you need for your comp
recently i picked up a freak comp somebody built so it has no name brand or model ,had gateway grafics and some hp hardware with a old 98 tv tunner and usealy by the time i get them the o/s is trash so when i upgraded it of corse all the old drivers were gone
well this program found every one for me and the new updated ones as well
so might help you as well
small download,free to try but if you need to download thats when the bag you
but for me it was worth it
