- Windows Vista Premium x64 WMC Component Registration Failure
- Posted by Emil on November 21st, 2007
WMC won't shw any of the recorded shows.
The error message displayed:
Some of the files needed to play radio or video are missing or corrupt.
Windows Media Center component registration may have failed.
When trying to open the giude WMC freezes up and onlw the Task Manager
closes it and reports the failure to MS. Tried to roll back as far as Vista
allows but no success.
Any ideeas?

did you install any video editing software like Roxio, Nero, etc? or
any codecs?

None that I know off... It coincidentally happened after last Patch Tuesday...
It seems to be related to my ATI TV Tuner driver. After posting this
question I used ATI's application to re-install it's drivers. It didn't solve
the main problem but after re-booting, Windows Media Player could play the
recorded shows which it couldn't before (sound only... no picture). However,
the playback quality in WMP is not as smotth as in WMC. WMC it's still
unaffected... shows same Component Registration Error and when trying to
access the guide freezes-up and stops responding...
Your help would be really appreciated...
Thanks!
