I also had to reboot. All of my MC settings were gone. This is not the first time and is something that occasionally happens when getting fresh builds but a warning would have been nice. I'm not complicated so my personal settings are not hard to recreate. The most time-consuming will be rebuilding my list of things to NOT import.
The thing that concerns me is that G-force no longer runs in Media Center. All works well except when G-force starts, MC goes out like a light. I tried uninstalling this build and going back to the previous build that used to work with G-force but no worky.
I'll try going back to a previous restore point to see if that works.
A clue: I tried to uninstall / reinstall G-force and got an error message related to Windows Media Player. Something about the g-force DLL being in use and not being able to overwrite. WMP was not running.

The reboot (one time only) is normal. It fixes a Windows Media problem. Losing settings is not normal unless you uninstalled first and removed the registry settings.
Are you using the latest version of Geforce?
-
Yes. That's really what disturbs me. I just paid for another year.
It's not the version. That worked fine before 185.
I suppose this means I'm the only one reporting a problem.

I didn't but have since. On further thought, let's discount that problem. I didn't discover lost settings until after I had uninstalled.
I forgot this last time:

I can't help but wonder that it's a Windows Media problem. In the past, an update installation from Media Center didn't require a restart unless WM was involved and the error message was WM related. Coincidence?
What the heck are you doing working on Sunday? That's what comes from being the Head Cheese: no time off.

I was away this week so I'm trying to get tuned in again.
Geforce has a forum. Maybe reporting the problem there might help.
I don't know is the real answer.
How's the wren in the truck? Mine are back in the garden here.

I posted in GForce Forum a couple of days ago. No response other than a guy telling me his worked just fine.
Nice to know but not too helpful.

Did you try a more recent download of Geforce? On at least one occasion, the download was changed without changing the version number.
-
For the last few builds (somewhere around 183(?)) MC will inexplicably crash. I still don't know why, however, on two occasions I've uninstalled (not registry entries) and reinstalled. On every occasion, I've had to reinstall G-Force to get it to work.
-

Yes I did.

I've reinstalled a half dozen times. It acts like it about to work but then "Zap!"
MC is gone. I get about 5 seconds.

Here is another "not too helpful" one. Just installed 185 over 182 and G-Force (Platinum) 3.1.2 still works fine. Without buying it for another year so far (I will).
