Ehshell.exe error with Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002, service pack 3

Running Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with service pack 3.  I get the ehshell.exe error when I try to watch live TV.  It crashes, debug and I usually won't have to ctrl-alt-del to get anywhere.  Do not seem to have this problem before I added various updates etc, tv was fine before this date.

I'm not particularly computer so nice easy steps please...!

Thank you, Nicholas

Ehshell.exe is a Windows system file that is used to run Microsoft Media Center. It is not a critical system file. However, the ehshell.exe file can become infected and cause errors trying to run certain programs. If the ehshell.exe is absent, it can also cause errors. Reinstall a clean copy of ehshell.exe with the Microsoft System Restore.

      Click 'Finish' to start the system restore. The computer will restart once the process is complete and the ehshell.exe file is reinstalled.

    Will there be side effects to install windows xp service pack 3 update on my windows xp media center edition version 2002 service pack 2?

  • I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe.

    original title: error with ehshell.exe

    I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe. Could you help me?

    This problem exists since the 1st Media Center. SP2 and SP3 had a difficulty, but it is obvious that it doesn't always. The same problem still exists in Vista today with a lot of other carried over from XP. System restore would work, but you do not have any good restore points so reinstall an operating system seems to be your only option.

    You probably don't want to do an OS reinstall you need for Media Center, but since it does not at all, you might want to play then remove the Media Center updates and or SP3 and reinstall them.

  • I am running Microsoft Windows XP Home edition Version 2002 Service pack 3, use the 32-bit or 64-bit upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium?

    running Microsoft Windows XP Home edition Version 2002 Service pack 3, used the 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade?

    I followed the instructions on the card that came with the software... indicating that, if I look at my computer it was telling me that my computer works... either 64 or 32, but it does not work.  So my question is, how do you know?

    You probably have the 32-bit version of XP (in most individuals, and if your system properties page does not have 64-bit, then you have 32-bit.)

    However, if you now have XP 32 - bit or 64-bit XP isn't the issue that relate to your decision to install 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7.  This decision depends on the question to know if your hardware can support a 64-bit operating system.  In this regard, the main reason for users to install a 64-bit operating system is to allow the use of more than 4 GB of RAM.  If your hardware does support more than 4 GB of RAM, there is no interest to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

    You run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor?  With what results?

    Click Start > run and type msinfo32 in the "Open" box and click OK.
    After the system information window has had time fill, click Edit > select all, and then click Edit > copy.

  • I'm temporarily using a diesel powered computer, running Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3

    I temporarily uses a computer filled with diesel fuel, until I can afford to replace it with an updated model. It is using Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3.
    The problem is that it's totally out of memory and as far as I know, I deleted everything I can, short of service packs and security features, such as malware and anti virus.
    I do a disk Clean up and Defrag on a regular basis, but it shows now that I have zero remaining memory.
    Anyone know how I can free up more memory?
    What happens if I delete ServicePack 1 & 2?
    What happens if I use the restore disc came with the computer? It will remove everything and I start with a clean slate?
    Unfortunately I can't replace this computer for a few months more, what should I do?
    Thank you
    Monica

    You run lack of disk space, not memory, if that's your hard drive, you're referring to :-)

    If you have the service pack installation files on your PC, you can probably pick up near a GB removing them (most likely you do not have).
    You can remove security updates uninstall files and pick up some space here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-9862223-68.html
    If there are programs that you use rarely or never, you can uninstall them.

    If you use the recovery disk, it most probably restore you to the day; No program, no service pack, no update of safety, nada, just WinXP right out of the box. I wouldn't recommend, unless you have nothing better to do with your time than to reinstall all your stuff. And if this isn't in SP3, then you will not be able to download updates of security.

    If you have a little cash on hand, you can always get a bigger hard drive and clone this player to the largest (most new hard drives come with software to do). Or if you have geek friends who save ALL their old stuff (like I do), maybe one of them would have a replacement part that they would be willing to give you. Wouldn't hurt to ask :-)

    Hello

    Do you have an error message when you try to install updates?

    I suggest that you put your machine in a clean boot State, then try to install the updates. I suspect the involvement of a third party software conflict.

    Note: Do not forget to put your computer in normal mode.

    Windows XP has "unzipping" software already installed...

    the wizard will run automatically. Also, you don't need compress folders that contain backup files, in fact one of the

    When the wizard starts, select "old pc" select "other case" Browse in a new folder that you created. Once this
