HELP! - Component Registration Failure
Slugsie
error:
COMPONENT REGISTRATION FAILURE
Some of the files needed to play radio or video are missing or corrupt.
Windows Media Center component registration may have failed.
Followed by:
Application Failure
A critical Windows Media Center process has failed. Please restart the
computer and try
again. If the problem persists, contact your hardware manufacturer for
assistance.
The error appears when I try and list the Recorded TV. If I try and watch
live TV I get:
Tuner Not Available
The Tuner is currently in use by another application or is not working.
Please close all other
applications, restart Windows Media Center, and then try again.
I have not installed any software or codecs since it was last working, and I
have tried multiple reboots. I can watch my already recorded TV files fine
using Media Player, so they're not corrupt or anything. I can also watch
other video files (DivX/Xvid encoded AVI files mainly) just fine.
Googling this error returns many pages discussing the problem for XP Media
Center, and giving a couple of solutions which I have tried with no success.
The solutions suggested include re-registering some of the ehome exe files,
and deleting possibly corrupt recordings.xml (I actually deleted the whole
TempRec folder to be sure).
Can anyone help me out on this???
My system is a home built one as follows:
MSI P6N SLI Platinum motherboard
Intel E4300 Core2Duo
nVidia 8600GT
4GB Ram
Hauppauge Nova-T 500 tuner
Vista Ultimate x64 with SP1 RTM
The current install is just over a week old as I did a fresh install for
SP1. All drivers are up to date as far as I can tell.
I have done an SFC /scannow too. No problems reported.

busy, please stop a tuner from the list.' (paraphrased)
Only one tuner shows in the list and while I can "click" on it - it doesn't
do any thing. End result, once I'm in this loop I have to shut down and
restart.

I'd love to see the solution to this as well. I bought a new HP media
center pc to replace the kids pc and it happens to have the TV tuner
card, so I figured I'd hook it up...but it does not work with Windows
Media Center (vista). Of course such software problem does not
surprise me, after all it's Windows....
The card works find in the PC doctor Test (shows video during test),
but not with WMC...
Oh well...I figure Bill Gates will fix the problem when Vista 2.0 comes
out...

Hello,
I'm having the same problem and came across this:

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but it sounds right.
Thanks,
