WMC only running in background, won't open
I've been using WMC for years, and Sony's Giga Pocket before that, but when MS decided to withdraw support for Win7, all kinds of problems began.
What's important here is that I can't reliably open WMC. For a while I could do a system restore which would allow me to open it, but now even system restore doesn't work so I've had to restore from a disc. There have been a series of annoyances, including being told that I wasn't running authentic Windows 7 (I am, and it goes away when I restore from disc), to having video conflicts in Firefox (I've reinstalled FF, Shockwave etc).
Regarding media center specifically, programs I've scheduled as series are recording, and I can watch them utilizing VLC, but obviously if I can't open it, I can't program it.
I've considered replacing it with other programs (Media Portal or MythTV), but couldn't seem to get them set up and wound up deleting them.
TIA
