No, we haven't installed any new programs. The last time we used Media Center a few weeks ago to listen to some CDs, we had no problems. The other day we went to play a new game we had bought, and this message would appear whenever we hit the icon to open the application. It says "application failed to initialize properly (0x0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application." At the top of the message box it says, "ehshell.exe-Application Error." I don't know what could be causing this, but I would be ever so grateful if you could help me fix this.
I did some searching with Google and the majority of people having this problem seem to think its with .net Framework. One fixed it by uninstalling .net 1.1 and then reinstalling it. you can remove it by going to add remove programs.
Well, I looked in my programs ... I could not find .NET framework. Am I blind? My Media Center ran fine all along, so if I don't have that program .... that wouldn't be the problem, right? Please forgive me if I am missing something. Should I just go ahead and install it?
Thank you so much for your time.

It's only required if you have a program that uses it. It won't be in your start menu programs, but if you go to control panel/Add remove programs it will be listed if its installed. they will be listed as Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1, Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB#######) and
Wow ... I thought I knew my computer. I do have it installed. Should I just go ahead with your earlier suggestion (uninstall/reinstall), and hope that it fixes the problem with my Media Center? (I'm somewhat nervous about messing around too much as I'm a novice, and feel more comfortable being guided.)
I hit a support link in the .NET Framework program and this came up. I have no idea how mine was originally installed - does it matter? I'm not sure doing this would work without knowing how it was installed and solve the Media Center problem, but I just wanted to know what you thought.
You may need to repair your installation of the .NET Framework after upgrading your operating system or if the system becomes corrupted.
To repair the .NET Framework
Obtain the original installation source. For example, if you installed the .NET Framework from CD or DVD, insert the disk. Or, if you downloaded the .NET Framework, download again and choose to save to disk. If you installed from a network share, reconnect.
On the Start menu, choose Run.
For Windows 98 and Windows Me type:
command
For Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP or later, type:
