I can't reproduce this issue. However, I've got an idea that might help troubleshoot and narrow down what could be causing this issue.
1. Open Media Center.
2. Go to the
Tools menu then select
Options.
3. Navigate to the
General section then click the arrow next to
Features to expand it.
You'll see this;
What we're going to do is uncheck each feature one-by-one then close Media Center and then reopen it after unchecking a feature (since most features won't be disabled until you restart Media Center). Then retest for the crash issue. If it crashes, open Media Center and uncheck the next feature and retest again. Repeat until either the crashing stops or until all features are unchecked. So the steps here are the following;
1. Uncheck a feature and press OK to close Media Center's Options.
2. Close Media Center.
3. Reopen Media Center.
4. Repeat test to see if it crashes.
5. Repeat if necessary.
If you find which feature is causing the crashing, leave it unchecked then recheck all the other features, then close and reopen Media Center and retest again. If Media Center still crashes with all features disabled, re-enable them then close and reopen Media Center.
Regardless what happens, please post the results here.
