After tring to run Windows update and also my grandchild installing Nero 8
Mediahome accidentally I can't access or setup the media center to receive tv
on my Sony Vaio Media Center PC. Do I have a shot at repairing the system or
will I most likely have to start all over and reinstall the os. Thanks, in
advance, for your help.

I apologize. I just discovered that the command is atl.dll not ati.dll.
When I followed your full set of commands, I got my media center back to
normal.
Thank you very much for the help. I was getting very frustrated.
