I am running Windows Media Center XP, with service pack 2 (by the way, its XP professional, if that makes any difference), 32.2 GB free, IE version
6.0 also SP2, Pentium 4 2.6 Ghz, 512 MB RAM, Winamp 5.
I tried running ejukebox today and a database error came up. So I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Didn't make any difference and the same
message came up. I tried the Jet 4.0 download which installed, but didn't have any problem installing; the MDAC 2.8 updates, didn't install on XP
since "its already on the system." I tried running eJukebox again, same problem.
I get the usual new install setup the database message, when I click on Continue Setup, the message "Database Corruption Detected. eJukebox will now
attempt to repair its Database" comes up, clicked on OK, "Database can't be repaired again". After clicking on that message's OK button, "Error
copying File" messages come up and after clicking on OK on these the same message comes up repeatedly. The only way to stop it from coming up is
Control/Alt/Delete.
I've tried deleting the database file (ejuke.asn i believe?); somewhere on the message boards there was a link to a new "ejuke.asn" file, and I
downloaded it and put it into the eJukebox folder. still the same problem.
also, not that it is a huge problem, an eJukebox entry in Add/Remove Programs isn't appearing in the screen. i can remember if there usually is one
put there, but I know of the uninstall program in the ejukebox folder.
Is that XP Media Center 2005 or 2004? I know the 2005 version is a little different than just XP Pro plus a green button app (Can't join to domains, etc. etc.). The MCE 2004 version I'm running with eJ is OK, but when I installed the latest version of MDAC from the microsoft download site it did have something to do on my XP SP2 PC!

I thought I'd add this to maybe help....
1) When this first started happening, I tried opening the program, the status bar in the loading screen got to about halfway and stopped; several
minutes later, the status bar hadn't changed, so I used Control/Alt/Delte to end it from loading, and so (maybe) started this problem. I would think
that a new install would fix this..?
2) I created a new XP administration profile on my computer which deleted the previous administration profile I had been using. Maybe something the
program needs is put into the profile's documents/settings folder that no longer exists?
i tried randomly to open the program and i didn't get the database error detected message... all is good, but i didn't do a thing! no complaints though
