MCE will not let me run programs in more programs

Hi,

Im trying to run a program called dcut in MCE but when i click it, it just
goes back to the more programs screen, next when i click a different program
such as Create CD/DVD it does the same thing which it goes back to the more
programs screen without any message, and this is when it gets a bit weirder,
i try to access help and it wont let me instead it just takes me back to the
settings screen. How can i fix this, its really frustrating me.

Is dcut a program designed to run in the Media Center 10FT interface?

If not you should exit the Media Center interface and run dcut from
Windows XP Pro, the underlying OS.

dCut is suppose to run any MCE version that there is and its not the
program's fault either because it worked before but now MCE is hardly letting
me access any program from the more programs option, nor let me access some
of the features of MCE, im starting to think that my installation of windows
xp never actually completed even though it said it has, or something along
thoses lines.

I am confused. You say that the program "dCut" worked before, but you go on
to speak of your installation of XP. Do you mean your dCut program worked on
another installation of OS, or has this dCut program worked on this current
XP OS in the past?
If it worked on previous XP OS, then maybe the installation of dCut is
corrupt and needs to be reinstalled.
If it worked on current XP OS in past and it is XP that is now corrupt, have
you tryed System File Checker?
System File Checker is not gaurantee fix, but it should point you in right
direction to figure out if OS is damaged.
Depending on on how your registry is configured, you may need original
installation disk to run System File Checker.
To do this,

click "start"
click "all programs"
click "accessories"
right click "command prompt"
click "run as...."
choose your administrator account and type password
when command prompt box opens, type "sfc/scannow", (without quotes)

another dialog box will open to show status in most cases, if not registry
needs to be modified to show status bar, but it should show.

Like i said, unless you manually stored the file "I386" from installation
disk on C:\, and configured your registry, you will be prompted to insert
installation disk when running "SFC" but this should notify you and possibly
fix any problems with OS.

Also, have you installed any other programs recently since this problem
started?
If so, try "system restore"
