Opening Media Center gives me a black screen. How do I fix?

Question by K10: Opening Media Center gives me a black screen. How do I fix?
When I open Windows Media Center on my HP Media Center computer, I get a black screen. I have Windows XP and my computer is about 3 years old. It used to work fine, but when I did a system recovery, everything worked except Media Center. Actually, the first time I opened it, it worked. But then when I was inside of Media Center it went black. And now it will not even open. The cursor is there on the black screen, but it flickers.

I checked the Microsoft knowledge base articles and they have several that pertain to black screens in WMC.
