Ya formating is the best sol. but it takes a lot of time to setup a Media Center PC back to its previous state !!!

Think abt it before formating !!!

well there is one revert back option in the autopatcher given in the digit dvd every month

i dont exactly get the problem

but i think there can be more better options then formatting

try with the tweaking tools , u must be havin a lot of them !!!

Its called media center, when you open it, you get an animated menu contaning all the things that you have costimized for your MC-PC, like movie player, TC viewer, DVD burner+player, etc.
