[64] Corrupt media centre

[anne]

When i go to set up a tv signal in media centre (vista premium x64) i get this error
component registration failure
some of the files needed to play radio or video are missing or corrupt. windows media centre component registration may have failed.

Is there a cure for this?

This is for older Media Center version, but you may give it a shot: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archi...18/482472.aspx

Hi Anne, appears a windows update caused this I believe you can unregister then reregister media centre :-
Close Media Center
Click on the Start menu, programs and right click on CMD select "run as administrator"
run the command:- regsvr32.exe atl.dll press enter
run the command:- C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched /unregServer press enter
run the command:- C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched /service press enter
run the command:- C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr /unregServer press enter
run the command:- C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr /service press enter
run the command:- C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRec.exe /unregServer press enter
run the command:- C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRec.exe /regserver press enter
run the command:- C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehmsas.exe /unregServer press enter
run the command:- C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehmsas.exe /regserver press enter

Reboot for changes to take effect .. see how you go... Thanks to QLD Uni for this.
