I had the same problem. I just deleted any codecs I had downloaded and rebooted. Everythings fine now.

I did the advanced Codecpack download and it worked great for 3 days and then the problems started again. I then went to start, run, typed in services.msc went to MediaCenter Receiver, right clicked on that, clicked on properties and selected manual startup, then reboot. It stopped my CPU from lagging but doesn’t solve the ehrecvr.exe issue which apparently is a common problem with Media Center 2005 edition due to one of the Windows updates which interferes with the Media Center receiver and gives a Tuner Hardware missing error. I still haven’t found a permanent solution without losing Media Center other than to restore the computer to a time when Media Center worked and discontinue all automatic Windows updates. There are negatives to that but it seems at this time to be the only solution.

the path for it is C/WINDOWS/ehome/ehrecvr.exe all you have to do is open task manager and move it to the side of your screen right click the file so it says do you want to delete then end the process and quickly delete the file. fixed my problem right away

i’m having ehrecvr.exe problems as well. i have media center edition on a toshiba laptop. i never use the media center and am going to look into removing it. it has never given me a problem before. this is a new issue over the past couple of weeks. thanks for the comments. usually the top loading results give no useful info. maybe this is a widespread problem! it’s eating up my dual processors, but not just when i boot up!
