hello i recently have been getting this message when i log into my xp account.

"MCRD device service has encounter a problem and needs to close."

anyways this thing isnt letting me on my internet. im hard wired into my router and i cant get internet. every other comp in my house gets internet thats how im posting this. can someone please help me fix this or tell me step by step how to format my hard drives?

If you want to format your HD you will have to run the recovery CD. I just had to do that last night because of some spyware. To format the HD, just boot off the CD and begin the repair. It's pretty simple.

alright so i put in the recovery cd then reboot and when it says to boot from cd press any key i do that, then i wait and it loads a bunch of junk and then it says i can continue, press r for repair, or continue without xp, so i hit continue the first one and then it says did not detect a hard disk drive and i have to reboot

When you start up your computer does it even start up Windows?

yes i can, are you talking about putting the disc in/loading it when im on the desktop? cause i did that and all it has is worthless crap and install xp i didnt find any formating or simlar things

I'm not sure if this will work or not. I just uploaded my working "mcrdsvc.exe" file from Windows XP Media Center Edition to the internet. Here is the link http://files-upload.com/266725/mcrdsvc.exe.html. Try replacing it with the file "C:/Windows/ehome/mcrdsvc" by renaming the old one to something like mcrdsvcOld and then put the one that you downloaded in the same folder. If that doesn't work I'll try and help with system recovery.
