RE: DVD create failure

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



My problem now appears to be resolved. HP guided me to the following website:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=894553. This lists a Hot Fix that is
available for Media Center 2005. You have to call Micosoft Support and they
will send the fix to you along with a password. They have had lots of reports
of the similar issue so I would recommend you contact them and provide the
Problem ID referenced at the above web site.
