I just opened MCM and it started downloading 3 files for an update, then I got the following error message. Now ever time I start MCM I get the error message along with "Media Center Master has stopped working"

Okay, so MCM is still not working and I have no replies to this post. Is anyone else having this issue? What can I do to get past it. I'd really like to use the program again.

Is your "B:\" drive local or a mapped drive? There is known issues with windows mapped drives.

My b: drive is local but I do have some items in my scan folders that are network paths. Could that be it and if so how can I reset it without loosing all my preferences. I wouldn't mind installing but I don't want to have to reconfigure everything again if I can help it.

well I got tired of waiting for an answer from the forums and not being able to use the program. I tried deleting various things to see what was causing it to crash, couldn't find anything so I decided to complete uninstall with Revo. When I went to reinstall it I got a message that I didn't have .NET 3.5 SP1 installed and if I proceeded to load the program it then crashed like before. After installing the appropriate .NET I was able to open the program just fine. THIS information would have been helpful before reinstalling. Clearly a check can be made using the installer and that same logic needs to be in the launch logic of the program. If it had simply alerted me to a new requirement that would prevent it from working I could have been on my way in only a matter of minutes instead of the freaking MONTHS waiting for an answer here. So to anyone who is having crashing problems with the app first update your .NET package. It will save you a lot of headaches.
