A critical windows media center process has failed




















Then he had me download and install Net Framework 3. After a couple of hours, with the problems STILL going on, he told me he was going to have to research this over the weekend and get back to me Monday, so I figured it might not hurt for me to post here and see if anyone had had a similar problem and found a solution to it.

Here is what you do: Find Command Prompt which is in the accessories folder, then right click on it and click run as administrator, then type the following command: regsvr32 wmp. A message will appear saying that it was successful. Restart and check the issue again. OK, Dude or is it Dudette??? Bear in mind I just did what you suggested like five minutes ago, and just played with Media Center about three minutes, but in that time I did a half dozen things more than once that previously would have brought up that message immediately.

I really DON'T have time to play any more right now, as my dad just died this morning it may seem a bit cold that I'm even doing this now, but he's been on a long, slow road, and it wasn't unexpected, and I had to come online to let folks know, anyway. I'll play with Media Center some more and use it for real and see whether or not this solution holds up for the long haul No I am not a dell technical support person.

But I had problems with media center and typed in that command and everything was fixed. I am glad I could help you, you should have no more problems with Media Center. If you have any more problems, don't hesitate to PM me or email Microsoft Tech Support, they are great they helped me fix 3 blue screen issues!

You want your computer to stay stable indefinitely under any load, if it fails to do so, it's time to test individual components. MemTest86 is the most popular memory test software, with the origin going back to CrystalDiskInfo can help you take advantage of the S. With it, you can see disk error codes, detect a possible imminent drive failure, and more.

A solid temperature monitoring program, such as Open Hardware Monitor , provides insight into how hot or cold your computer is running. System File Checker , commonly known as SFC, is a utility in Windows that makes it possible for users to scan for corruption in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

The utility looks for files that fall under Windows Resource Protection WRP , which prevents the replacement of essential system files, folders, and registry keys that are installed as part of the operating system, as described by Microsoft.

With around , new malware samples released every day, no computer connected to the internet is truly safe. While modern anti-malware solutions offer a satisfactory level of protection against the latest cyber threats, your operating system can still become infected, and you may not even know about it.

These advanced security solutions can work alongside your current virus scanner, increasing your chances of catching even the nastiest cyber-bugs before they can cause any damage. Keep in mind that you should always address the root cause of the infection not just put a Band-Aid on it. Consider disabling Flash in your web browser, install an ad-blocker, and avoid visiting harmful sites full of invasive adds.

When everything else fails, it's time to reinstall your operating system. Sometimes it's just quicker and easier to back up important data and start from scratch than spend hours and hours trying to find the right solution.

Grab a USB drive, back up your documents, music, pictures, videos, and everything else that you don't want to lose and find the official installation medium of Windows Let the installer wipe out your entire system partition and complete the installation procedure. Once you're sure, add programs slowly, always taking a lot of time to ensure that everything works as it should. The good news is that once you solve it once, it's highly unlikely that it will ever make a comeback.

What's more, the methods described in this article can be used to diagnose and solve many other BSoD error codes and other computer problems. What about the Windows 10 reset functionality? Migrating from to 10 is a breeze, half the time the best way to migrate your upgrade is format and install then shoe horn in your app data file if you have no migration programs handy.

Thanks for the great article, my Sisters PC has just hit this issue, unfortunately I ended up resetting the PC as nothing else would work. I am stuck at the boot due to the stop code error: Critical process died. The only thing i can access are the system repair options such as system restore, cmd, system image recovery, sartup repair, etc. I tried going to previous build but that also didnt happen. Now what can i do please someone help me.

Stuck on an endless loop of nothing working for me either and being unable to boot into Safe Mode. Did either of you guys get it to work? Just do a clean install of your OS. Save yourself lot of time. Trust me. However, in the meantime, my fix turned out to be to download A10 bios from another machine and then to update to A10 from my installed A8 which supposedly was updated this morning.

Whatever update as automatically done to my bios, my machine came crashing down. The A10 bios fixed it so far, but I expect to use this site later — something else always goes wrong. Thank you Melanie. Nothing has helped so far. The reset worked, but the next time I tried the update, it did the same thing again. It keeps rolling back to the prior Windows version. Once in Advance Options, there are some items you listed are not an option that I can see or find, when I am at that point in trying to resolve.

I do have what I think might be a solution…. It has been an adventure. This information was really helpful. BSoD problem solved. First step did not, as i could not even log in.

But a system OS reload did the magic. Thank you. Ive tried all the processes but my pc is still showing critical process died when i try installing a software. My dad had a similar issue except we would have to reinstall Windows I think safe mode worked to get back into Windows.

I am in the same position as several others. My computer has been down for several months now. I have tried everything I can find when I googled this problem and nothing is working.

So I am at a loss as to what to try now. I was going to purchase a new HP Pro-notebook but within the first week of using it, I noticed it was slowing to the extent that my friends old Win7 stalwart was having a performance hayday. I did everything and able to restart got into safe mode and attempted a restart in it, but a critical message appeared of a more serious problem.

This is bad when such a new PC fails only after a week. The only recourse under warranty is to send the rubbish back to where one got it from. It seems to be worse when the PC has been asleep which is usually the case when my PC isn't in use. Monday, April 6, PM. Hi again Cmnore: You said: " I get a popup message telling me to shut down and restart Media Center because a critical component hadn't loaded correctly".

Since all components of the Media Center application are incorporated into the O. Did you have this same problem prior to installing the 9.

Did you install the ATI Win7 9. I vaguely remember getting a message about a critical component missing while in Media Center in Vista using early nVidia drivers and that was cured by updating to different drivers. This is what leads me to believe your problem is the ATI drivers. If you don't find anything else to try, I'd sure try uninstalling the current drivers and installing the updated ATI drivers that Windows update provides. I've been running those since March 16th with virtually no problems on the same ATI card you're using.

Marked as answer by Mark L. Ferguson Tuesday, April 14, PM. Wednesday, April 8, PM. Hi Cmnore: I think your Media Center problem is graphics system related. Can you post the details of your motherboard graphics chip or graphics card?

The pop-up message is probably caused by the incompatibility of the graphics drivers or hardware. Hard to say without any hardware details posted. Tuesday, April 7, AM.
