Windows 7 - Media Center Video Error

Right,

Just a quicky this one - I didn't see anything online about this when I was searching for the solution but - basically - I fired up Media Center and went to watch Live TV, and I got the following error message:

Video Error: Files needed to display video are not installed or not working correctly. Please restart Media Center and or restart the computer

Uh oh..
This was working last night...
All I'd done was remove myself from the homegroup on the machine...
Hmmmm

Reinstalling video codecs - no joy.
Reinstalling video drivers - no joy.

Bugger.
Quickly test the TV I wanted to record last night did infact record...

"Cannot find file"

eh???

Browse to the files in explorer - there they are.. though I notice I needed to elevate to Administrator to run it...

Hmmm

Close Media Center... restart - but run as administrator...

Recorded TV - ok
Live TV??? -- ok...

Weird..
