Messing around with Vista trying to figure out some of the features
available to me, I played a bit with Media Center.

A number of activities comes up with an error message:

Invalid Application
Unable to launch ""

In particular, this happens for Internet TV and Online Media Learn
How. A few others I don't recall also does this.

Any ideas? Doesn't seem to have much in the way of settings or options
that I can or should tweak. Perhaps if there was a way to uninstall
and reinstall it, but I suspect it is tightly integrated with the OS.

I searched the MS support, but came up empty. Since I see that Media
Center is taking an even bigger role in Windows 7, I'd like to figure
this out.

Thanks!

MikeB,
many of the features of Media Center require you to buy additional hardware in order to be functional. The TV is one. Windows help has more info for you.
