Problem
I?m unable to launch the Microsoft Media Center. When I try to launch it I get a message that states:
? Error: Fatal Execution Engine Error (0x7925dc14) .
When I click on ?OK? the next message box states:
?ehshell.exe ? Common Language Runtime Debugging Error Service?
?Application has generated an exception that could not be handles?
?Process id=0x7e4 (2020), Thread id=0x3e0 (992).
?Click OK to terminate the application.?
?Click CANCEL to debug the application.?
When I click Cancel to debug the application I get the message:
?Ehshell.exe ? No debugger found.?
Registered JIT debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a JIT debugger with the following command resulted in an error code 0x2 (2). Please check computer settings.
Cordbg.exe !a 0x7e4
Click on Retry to have the process wait while attaching a debugger manually.
Click on Cancel to abort the JIT debug request.
When I first click on Retry, the whole process would start over. Now nothing happens.
Background on how I got this problem
I believe the problem was is the result of trying to repair a problem using backup software Retrospect ExpressHD which I obtained with a Maxtor USB hard drive. While trying to perform a backup, the program would get stuck with the message ?Updating Status?.
The fix I performed was per the software vendor was provided at:

I felt comfortable in performing this fix, believing that the restore function in Microsoft XP would enable to be me back in case of problems. Well, I guess I was mistaken; I could not restore the operating system to a point without undoing whatever I changed.
I tried to reinstall the .net Framework 1.1 and 1.0, and learned I needed to uninstall completely and reinstall which I did, but it doesn?t perform a complete installation.
