    Windows 7 – Decoder Error

    Got this error when attempting to record and play videos with Windows Media Center on Windows 7 Beta of "The video decoder has either malfunctioned or is not installed. Restart Windows Media Center or the computer”.

    Decoder Error on Windows 7 Beta

    After some initial investigation it seems by simply putting my clock back in time and re-loading Windows Media Center fixed the problem. It’s possible a component, possibly the decoder shipped with the beta of Windows 7 has expired. Correct me if im wrong. Thanks! Not!

    So if you get this error, first try putting your clock back.

    Also, I have added a new category of Windows Media Center and filed this in here.
