Post subject: Lost Media Center after SP3 update
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>mediacenter (more info?)

I recently reformated the drive and installed Windows XP MCE, then I updated
to SP2 each time I checked that MC was working Ok. Finally I updated to SP3
and some other Windows Updates using the internet. Now I am not able to
start the Media Center.

I received a message that indicates that says:
"C:\Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe" failed strong name valication. And that it
may have not been fully signed with the correct private key.

Any idea of how to fix this other than re-installing Windows?

Close Media Center
Click on the Start menu, choose run and type cmd
Now execute the following commands and after each command press the
Enter Key:-
regsvr32.exe atl.dll
C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched /unregServer
C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched /service
C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr /unregServer
C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr /service
C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRec.exe /unregServer
C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRec.exe /regserver
C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehmsas.exe /unregServer
C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehmsas.exe /regserver

Finally restart Media Center.

I tried your procedure twice and I received the same error messages as before.

Thank you for your assistance.

Have you tried removing the failed SP3, then re-installing?
Or even trying to install SP3 again over the one you have.

One should always backup the system before making major changes. SP3 is
a very major change.

Try the following:-

Download and reinstall the .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 from the following
location:-

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=a8f5654f-088e...b2-bbdb

Go to the Start menu, choose Run and type cmd to launch Command Prompt
window and there copy and paste the following:-

%windir%\ehome\medctrro.exe /o /p RunOnce and press the Enter key.

Restart the system and try to launch Media Center. Does it help?

I tried this and I do not recommend it. It seems that more stuff is not
working correctly after re-installing SP3.

Now I will definately need to reformat and reinstall Windows.

Too bad it did not work.
You may have needed to reformat and install anyway.

As I have been having the same problem, I tried your last suggestion and
I must be typing it in wrong some how. Is this correct- C:the rest of
my command prompt>%windir%\ehome\medctrro.exe/o/pRunOnce -after I press
enter I get the message "The system can't find the path specified".
Thanks any help or direction you can give is greatly appreciated,
