Getting my Xbox 360 to work as a Media Center Extender was no walk in the park. The first major obstacle I had (before even worrying about how to get XviD transcoding working) was a strange error message I got every time I connected to the Media Center from my Xbox. The Media Center interface would load, show me everything for half a second, then switch to a screen that just said “Connection Terminated. The Xbox 360 has been disconnected because an application has launched UI unexpectedly. Would you like to reconnect?” A few seconds later it would reconnect, go through the startup sequence, and drop right back to that error. Over and over again.
I checked out Event Viewer on my Vista machine, and this is what I saw: “An unauthorized window was detected while running the Windows Media Center Experience, ‘Tablet Driver’, with file name ”.” What? So after poking around the Internet a bit, I came across this newsgroup post. It looks like the problem is that the Tablet PC Input Panel gets activated even though it shouldn’t on a Windows Media Extender. I thought it was really cool to hook up my Wacom tablet and use the Tablet PC functionality, but until the Tablet PC team fixes this bug, I’ve had to uninstall my tablet drivers so Windows Vista no longer bothers with any Tablet PC parts. It’s a pity, but at least Windows Media Center works now.

Thanks so much! I was having the exact same problem and I don’t think anything could have been more frustrating. But yes, of course no cool transcribing and no pressure sensitive handwriting in messenger. Well at least media center offers more than the use of a tablet.
Ah ha, so that’s what it is! Cheers.
so what and where is the tablet that i have to delete because i have a tablet running that is something to do with writing but i dont care if it is deleted i just cant find how to unistal the tablet
HELP!!!
I am having EXACTLY the same problem when I try to use windows media center on my xbox. I am not using a Tablet PC, should I still remove drivers?? How do I do this??? There is nothing like that in the device manager, and I can’t find an option anywhere else. I am using vista home premium.
Thanks!
