Media Center keeps closing due to a problem

Hey gang,

I have been getting messages, even without Media Center open, that the " Windows Media Update has stopped working ". When I choose to check online for a solution, I do not get any feedback.

So I thought I would open Media Center, to see if I could see something there in the options that might clue me in. After opening Media Center and starting to navigate through it, it closes immediately, due to a problem. It does this as soon as I start clicking on things within Media Center, just won't stay open.

I tried a google search, and about all I saw on repairing Media Center, was running sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt. I tried this, and it ran and did not find any damaged files.

Any ideas, on what I might could do to repair this? I really don't use Media Center, but it is annoying me more than anything, that it does not work, at this point.

Thanks for any feedback here,
