Media Centre crashing
Hey guys, sorry in advance if this is posted in the wrong forum, I wasn't sure if there was a specific forum for media centre issues or if it would just come under Vista.

Anyway, my problem, I can't run Media Centre at all. When I open it up from the Start menu I get the following dialog "Media Centre has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

I've tried running Media Centre in other ways for example by opening a music file in Media Centre, and in this case it will play the song for about 10 seconds before crashing and giving me the above error message.

Media Centre did used to work, and I've since tried to do a system restore, which for some reason failed. I can't figure out what I've done to make it not work all of a sudden.

I'm on Vista Ultimate x32 and I think my video/tuner is a Hauppauge WinTV 88x seeing as that's what comes up in device manager.
