The annoying thing now is that if I run the cleanup tool Vista pops up with the message saying only Administrators can run this programme which my account is on the PC.:mad: I'm also getting problems running windows media centre/windows Media player through the xbox360 as an extender because I believe of 'firewall' settings although everything is set correctly in windows firewall/WMP and WMC. I think that the Onecare programme is still causing problems (maybe within the registry) although I have uninstalled the programme.

Loosing the will to live.:(

try rightclicking then selecting "run as adminstrator" from the menu that pops up, will probably get a uac prompt.

Cheers, got the cleanup to run. Still having problems running media extender. The PC shows an alert saying that there is an extender on my network but when I run the set up WMC says it cannot find the extender. :confused:

Firewall blocking it perhaps :confused: otherwise I have no idea.

Re: Onecare compatible with Vista? Help?
 

Media Extender Players are enabled in Windows Firewall, no other firewalls except the router are on. At a loss to know what the problem is. :confused:

have you get the 360 looking for the mediacenter pc?

I did get it working on my 360 once before but since I use it on my pc monitor it was a bit pointless.. :p: afraid I can't remember what I did to get it going :erm:

Went to the media blade on the xbox360, ran WMC which gives the eight digit key number to put into the PC's WMC set up. When I run this the PC WMC says cannot find extender !!! - even though on start up of the PC if the xbox360 is switched on it reports windows media extender found, do you want to install, I select yes, go through the process, then WMC says it cannot find the extender. Just going around in circles with this problem.

A mixture of things, wireless network config, extra layer of security in Vista. Thank gawd for Windows Vista For Dummies edition. :dunce:
