Media Center Problems

[toastycheese678]

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate RTM x86 and am having some problems with Media Center. When I install, sometimes media center works but most of the time media center crashes after a few minutes of activity. I tired not implementing any registry settings or updates in my install and it still crashes. Any ideas ?

I located the ehshell.crash file. This is what it says:

Unhandled Exception - 10/27/2007 15:24:22

Just FYI - this is the Windows XP Media Center Edition forum - not Vista. There's a seperate Vista forum. You might get better help posting in that forum rather than here.
