Media Center missing components

Help

I installed the web guide software on my 64bit Vista PC, it work for about
20 minutes gave an error then once I rebooted Media Center could not find any
recorded shows and reports missing or corrupt componants Windows Media Center
component registration may have failed. I tried rerunning the setup within
Media Center but eshell reports a failure in the application log. I have
also tried doing a Restore point and that doesn't seem to fix it.

So how do you reinstalled Media Center or register the missing componants,
it would be nice if it was on the add remove list.

Thanks Mike...

To resolve this issue, use the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to
determine which file is causing the issue, and then replace the file. To
do this, follow these steps:

1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click All
Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click
Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password
or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.

2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
sfc /scannow

The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces
incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

I ran the scanner and it found no errors, I tried running Media Center setup
from with Media center and it crashes when it asks me if it is Cable or
Satelite. On restarting it asks me which kind of setup I want but doesn't so
anything if I select one. I now get static on the screen if I trya and watch
TV like it is not on the right channel. No data is available in the guide
but the channels seem correct.

I then Tried to just change the TV Signal Setup and it crashed again. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
