When I try to launch the Media Center icon I get the following errors. I
can't figure out what they mean or how I should proceed.

ehshell.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point SymSetSymWithAddr64 could not be located in the
dynamic link library DBGHELP.dll

Click OK

Get the same box again

Click ok

ehshell.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=0xbb8 (3000), Thread id=0xbcc (3020)

Click ok

This closes out the errors and the program will not run. The only thing
that changed on the system is that I had to uninstall Pinnacle Studio 10 and
reinstall due to a menuing issue. That is the only thing that I think has
changed since the last time I knew MCE was working properly. I might have
also installed WMP11 in that same time window but not for sure.

Anyone have any ideas??

John

This type of error (DBGHELP.DLL) usually indicates an incompatible/older
version of the DLL, in which the particular function being called does not
exist. By default, this DLL resides in C:\Windows\System32 and
C:\Windows\System32\dllcache. The latest version is 5.1.2600.2180. Locate
this file in Windows\System32 and right click it. Select Properties, and
verify the version is correct. If not, find the copy in the
System32\dllcache folder and check its version. If it is correct replace
the copy in System32 with the copy from System32\dllcache.

Version 5.1.2600.2180 is installed with Service Pack 2 for Windows XP.

Hi Doug,

I am having the same problem with Media Center that these guys
mentioned... I also recently loaded Pinnacle and the new Windows Media
Player on my machine. My version of the dbghelp.dll file is 6.5.3.7.
(in C:\WINDOWS\system32) and I don't seem to have the folder "dllcache"
that you mentioned. Do you have any suggestions as to where I might be
able to locate the version of this file that will allow my Media Center
to function again?

Thanks for your input!

This is great info.
It very much happened with me like mentioned here.
I replaced the dgbhelp.dll file with the version 5.1.2600.2180 fro i368
and my
media center started working one again.
Indeed that was the problem created by Pinnacle Mediacenter and
quickstart
installion on my Notebook

Thanks for wonderful guidance.
