I've seen a few references to this error, but no resolution.
I had 1.1.0.6 loaded and running perfectly. One day it just stopped working and gave me this message. I can't just live with it b/c every time i try to fast forward it pops that message up and won't let me do anything until I acknowledge it. The Event Viewer was no help. It logged an error but no smoking guns:

Trouble shooting steps already taken:
- Uninstalled 1.1.0.6 and reinstalled it: no love
- Uninstalled 1.1.0.6 and installed 1.1.0.7: no love
- Checked folder permissions: no love
- Made sure I registered the commskip app: no love
- uninstalled any remnants of ffdshow: no love
- Followed every step of the setup guide: no love
So, seeing that it was working fine at one point, something else is going on. The only thing I've done is mucked with my DVD decoders and installed My Movies plug-in (along with DAEMON tools). I have the latest NVIDIA Pure DVD decoder.
All ideas welcome. Please help.
