The Media Center Sandbox

I have an issue I'm wondering if anyone else has had and knows what is causing. I occasionally get an error along the lines of "The program [program name] has stopped responding and you will be returned to Windows Media Center" when quite obviously the program is running perfectly well and is responding.

I've not really found what the problem is but if I put a Thread.Sleep(10) [1 didn't work] in the thread that gets kicked off when the application starts this no longer happens. This seems like a bit of a hack so any clues as to what the problem is would be appreciated.

I've seen this happen occasionally if you accidentally call Media Center functions or invoke MCML methods when running on a thread other than the application thread.

It's easy to do this by mistake if you are are using callbacks with other system components since your callback is often invoked on a different thread than the one which created the callback request.
