Windows Media Store Update Center has stopped working?

[Guest Don]

Hey gang,

 

I posted the below, in the Media Center group couple of days ago, have not

got any responses yet. Thought I might try here next, as there are some

pretty knowledgeable folks hang out in here.

Anyone else ever run across this? Not sure if it is something I should be

very concerned about or not...

 

 

 

 

I recently, have starting getting this message pop up on occasion, even when

I am not running Media Player , or Media Center.

 

 

" Windows Media Store Update Manager has stopped working".

 

I click on to submit for more information, and do not get anything back.

 

I copied the below, out of the details screen:

 

Problem signature:

Problem Event Name: APPCRASH

I am using Vista Ultimate 64 bit, and have SP1 installed.

 

Any ideas, what might be causing this, would greatly be appreciated.

RE: Windows Media Store Update Center has stopped working?

 

Don,

I've googled around and found absolutely no solution to the appcrash of

mcupdate.exe

I've only found one suggestion of uninstalling the google toolbar which I

don't know whether you have it or not.

Sounds like the Media Center update program is running in the background and

fails when trying to update something.

I am not at a Vista machine right now so I can't check my guessings.

Maybe it is a service you can disable or stop without doing any harm.

Running services can be accessed by pressing simultaneously Shift-Ctrl-Esc

and choosing the "Services" tab.

Services startup behaviour can be accessed by Windows Key + R,

"services.msc" and ENTER.

Re: Windows Media Store Update Center has stopped working?

 

Yeah, I had tried the google approach, and could not find any clear info on

it either. No, I do not have the google toolbar.

I am not 100% sure, but it seems like this did not start happening to me

until after I installed SP1.

 

Thanks for the suggestion, I will look into that when I get a chance.

Don,

I can't see any mcupdate.exe program/service running in the background in my

Vista Ultimate.

Re: Windows Media Store Update Center has stopped working?

 

Thanks Carlos.

 

I don't see one in mine either. I have also checked, under services.msc, and

don't see anything there either. I do see a " Windows Media Center Extender

Service ", and it shows as disabled there.

 

Very puzzling,

 

 

Thanks,

I too had the same issue and scoured the internet for some time. I

kept closing the program and then tried to reopen it only to get the

message that Media Center has stopped working.

 

I finally found the fix at : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947464/en-us

 

I followed the instructions and deleted database and sure enough, it

fixed the problem.

 

Then I got another error message saying 'Unable to launch "SymAddIn"'

along with the check option to disable this application. Instead of

that checking off the option, I found this fix at:

http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=856548

 

Seems there was some leftover stuff from Norton Anti Virus that needed

to be deleted from the Registry. So far, Media Center is now working

as it should.

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info,

 

However, I notice that is regarding Media Center has stopped working, my

issue is I occasionally get the message pop up that the Media Store Update

Center has stopped working...

 

Do you think, the same fix would apply to this? I don't even use Media

Center, and it is not running when I get this message...

Re: Windows Media Store Update Center has stopped working?

 

Hey gang,

 

I wanted to report back, and give an update, on the below issue I was

having.

 

While it may be too soon to tell, it appears I may have inadvertently fixed

this issue on my system.

 

Early this morning, I was browsing through msconfig, and noticed a couple of

entries there regarding media player. I did a google search, and it appeared

it was related to sharing being enabled in windows media player 11, it

suggested if not sharing on a network, to disable that and those entries

should go away. Since I am on a network, and do not need to share, figured I

would change that.

 

So I went into Media Library, in WMP 11, removed the checkmark from " share

my media ", under media sharing, and rebooted. Checked msconfig, and the

entries were gone.

 

Ok, so after doing this, a couple of hours passed, and I thought hmm,

haven't got the media store update center has stopped working error message

yet. Normally, I would get that after only being logged on for a few

minutes.

 

Now, it has been several hours since I made this change, and I have yet to

see that error message again.

 

Now comes the really interesting part - as of late, I have been getting some

blue screens, usually upon shutting down Vista. Couple of times it happened

whilst loading Vista. Not every time, but enough to be a royal pain, like

every 2nd or 3rd time.

Also, since making this change, I have rebooted Vista 64 several times, I

have shut it down, and powered back up several times, slept it several

times, and so far < major knocking on wood >, I have not gotten the blue

screen again, has been rock solid. So I may perhaps, have inadvertently

solved two issues here...

 

Again, I want to stress, it just may be too early to tell, but so far has

been running great for about 4-5 hours since making this change.

 

If the problem comes back, I will post it here, if not, then this must have

done the trick.

Well, never mind, the issue apparently has come back, so I was mistaken.

Re: Windows Media Store Update Center has stopped working?

 

Ok, now the problem seems to be fixed.

 

I posted again yesterday, in the Media Center group, and this time got some

help.

 

Turns out, I needed to delete the Media Center database, as it was

corrupted. Not sure how it got that way, as I don't use Media Center, but I

deleted it per the following and it has fixed my issue:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947464

 

Just thought I would report back, on the off chance anyone else having this

issue happens upon this post.
