Hi,· What patch you have installed through Windows Update?· What is the exact error message/code you receive when you try to launch Windows Media Center?You may try changing the hardware acceleration and check if the issue persists.a. Open the Display item in Control Panel. To do this, click Start, type desk.cpl in the Start Search box, and then click desk.cpl in the Programs list. b. Click Display Settings, and then click Advanced Settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow. c. Reduce the Hardware Acceleration if it’s too high.Hope the information helps.
