Windows 7: Media center and NAS

HI guys

Basically I cannot get MC7 to play files in my video library if they are on my NAS. It will add the files, but will crash after I click on the video file to play it. I get the generic 'Media center has stopped working' error. I can play the videos from the NAS in media player, and, most surprisingly, I can even drag the video file from windows explorer onto the MC7 icon and it will play without a fuss.

Just wondered if anybody else has experienced this or can suggest anything I can try.

MC7 also stops working when I attempt to add movies from the NAS. It has no such issues when adding/playing music or pictures. I am leaning towards a reinstall of the OS.

Im guessing nobody has any suggestions for fixing the problem.

Thanks for all the detailed advice :-(

I will try a different forum
