Hi everyone,

Well, I'm having a little trouble.  Other than this, for now, everything is great!

When I highlight the music I want to play in explorer.  Then, right-click on "Play in Media Center", explorer crashes.  First, it says explorer.exe had a problem, with Modname: kernal32.dll.  Next, without having to reboot the PC, I bring up Task Manager (which still works).  There are three or so new process of drwtsn32.exe.  I have to stop all of the drwtsn32.exe's, for explorer to come back.  It seems that only way to play the music, is to find it in Media Center.

UPDATE: I thought I would remove my other topic, to update the title.  Maybe I'll find some help now.

Try turning off Shell Extensions in MC options, uninstalling, rebooting and re-installing.

Hi Jim .   I believe it's "Shell Integration" in the "General" option.  It was already turned off.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Media Center 12.0.222, still no luck.  I did the option to keep my Media Library, and remove registry items/settings.

kernel32.dll isn't our file.  It's a Windows file, I think.  You might try a search for similar problems at google.

I don't think it's a problem with kernel32.dll itself.  Because when I right-click on more than one song for Windows Media Player.  I don't get the problem.  Anything involving right-clicking to use a program with that file, is fine.  This just happens with Media Center 12.0.222.  I don't know if I should try Media Center v11, see if it happens.

Try renaming jrtools.dll in the MC install directory.  Then install again.

Hi Jim.  I reinstalled Windows XP Home, and everything is working again.  There are times when I highlight about 8 songs.  Then, sometimes only 2 songs will show up and play in Media Center 12.  I have to re-highlight them again, from explorer, and then all the songs I highlighted will play.  I hope this isn't another problem with my PC.
