Look in:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\eHome\EPG

Delete the contents (back them up if you want) then redownload the Guide data.

Thanks! That worked perfect.
I've got another question though-why is it soooo slow? It's not my hardware:
3.6 Ghz Pentium 4
2 GBs DDR RAM
ATI Radeon X600 Pro (256 MB)
250 GB SATA Hard Drive

Is it maybe because it's 2004 and not 2005? How can I upgrade to 2005? I
contacted HP (They made my computer), but they won't let me have it (Either
for free or for sale). Any other way?

If you missed the upgrade window from your manufacturer, you're out of luck. The best you could do is check their website for the MCE 2005 drivers for their hardware and purchase an OEM version to do a clean install with.
