WMC has stopped responding

I just did a fresh install on my computer of Windows 7, only installed a few programs and BitDefender. However when I try to open Windows Media Center it instantly comes up as "media center has stopped responding" and then nothing happens.

Does WMC require aero or something? I heard it may be graphics card related ~ ive got an ATI 9250 128 meg card. Any way to fix this?

Sorry for the thread dredge however this problem still exists. The solution above has done nothing, and since my original post I have upgraded my 3d card to one that supports aero however this does not seem to have helped at all.

Note I have never been able to run the program, not once from a fresh install. I see many posts about the same problem over the net but they all seem unanswered. Does microsoft know their program is insanely faulty and they refuse to fix it?

What version of Windows 7 are you running? Also, some more information regarding your computer specs could possibly help trouble shoot the problem.

This is taken directly from the error log file when it crashes on startup. From what I can gather it has something to do with mcepg1-5-0.db but deleting it as stated elsewhere does not do anything. Is it possible I could gain a working copy of this database from another computer and merely paste it in?

I think this has to do with TVpack and the number of TV sources you have configured on your system. You may have to reconfigure your signals and channels.

Well then we need to see your full system specs and what version of Windows 7 you're running (Beta, RC, RTM and build number)

It's hard to guess at the problem without more information on your part :)

Hmm I thought I provided enough info (the direct error log from the windows media center program itself).

It is RC build 7100. 7100.0.x86fre.winmain_win7rc.090421-1700

Amd Sempron 2800+ 1.6 GHz

Radeon 9550.

2 Gb ram.

Adequate storage space. General programs installed (however I don't think it is software related, WMC didn't work even when I just installed win7 fresh.)

I'm not sure what else to include. What more would you like to know?

Just curious if you have found a solution yet? I have exactly the same problem. I did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional over Vista Home Premium (should have just upgraded to Win7 HP!!) I used a program called PC Mover to transfer my applications and documents without having to reinstall everything. I'm wondering if that's the culprit. Did you use anything like that as well??

If you go to troubleshooting, and go to WMC, do you show that your library is corrupt? Mine does show that - I've done everything I can do to fix that, but it still shows as being corrupt. Not sure if that is why WMC won't load.

I'm beginning to wonder if I will need to do another clean install - this time formatting the hard drive?

I spent 1.5 hours on the phone last night with Microsoft. We tried a million things to get it working, but so far they couldn't even help!!

I have not seen a reply that seems to resolve this issue. There is no Technet or other Microsoft information on how to solve this problem. My problem occurred with a clean-install of Windows 7 - using RC Build 7100 for testing. I have completed recommendations to scan files using sfc /scannow; removed media center as a feature and deleted eHome files, rebooted, and reinstalled Media Center; and just completed a repair reinstall - to no avail. Errors are System.InvalidOperationException: Error opening the database - HR = 0x80004005, minor = 25134, 0, 0, 0, "", "", "".

Everything else about this OS is fantastic but it doesn't seem that Media Center is a supported option and appears to be on its way out. Any further insite to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

The 1.6 GHz processor is below spec and you likely are using a bad download of the RC and/or a bad burn or bad disk as the same issue repeats.
