Can Chat Xbox 360 Fellow Mates Via Messenger
May 11, 2007Now that us Vista users can chat to our Xbox 360 fellow mates via Messenger, I noticed they both have the game Uno. Any idea when we will be able to play each other online?

EMachines Chat Support Is Appalling
Mar 27, 2008They will tell you to do a complete reinstall for any issue, including minor sleep issues with known fixes. Google works circles around them and makes them useless on everything. Why do they even exist except to sell you up? Phone support is slightly better but chat is a total joke on any issue large or small. I am a newspaper writer and am working on a story about this and would like to hear your experiences.

Jul 4, 2009I'm completely stumbed at the moment. I have plugged an Xbox 360 Controller to my computer which is decent gaming pc (can play Crysis on High with high fps) with Vista Ultimate 64. Recently i picked up Wanted, Lost Planet and Dead Space. Wanted keeps crashing at start up until I unplugged it and then it started to work. Lost Planet works perfectly fine... Dead space keep crashing at random when its plugged in and I'm using it to play the game. I have uninstalled and reinstalled its drivers countless times and everytime its under "Unknown" in Device Manager. I've unplugged and replugged it many times, I've installed and reinstalled the Xbox 360 accessories software and nothing seems to be fixing this. I've also used CCleaner after uninstalled to clean the registry.
I know it's the controller itself, because when I use Kb/M, I can play for hours without the game crashing. I have read a lame solution, pretty simply its the lazy solution that almost everyone keeps telling me, which to unplug the controller. But I want to use my controller for this game so that solution doesn't cut it for me. Has anyone ever encounter this problem, if so mind sharing you're solution?
Plugged In Xbox 360 Via LAN Now Wireless Is Screwed!
Sep 21, 2009I was in the process of trying to get internet access on my Xbox 360, so I plugged it into my laptop (Toshiba Satellite L305-S5921) and as soon as I did my wireless connection went from full connection to either local only or identifying (one of the two). So I no longer have internet on not only my laptop, but I still can't figure out how to connection share to my Xbox. This happened before, but somehow it fixed itself? I tried reinstalling the wireless drivers to no avail; it didn't fix the problem. So if anyone can help me diagnose this problem, This is pretty urgent because I need to be able to use the internet for homework.

Mar 18, 2010Alright well right now I am not sure as to where this thread goes but I am going to place it here for now. Now I recently got internet and I think the speed is 2.1mb I know it is not much but it is enough to run xbox live or computer gaming I think, But I have a pesky step sister who refuses to stop download movies and tv series, and I have confronted her with it but it does not work at all, now I have a router and I have been looking around relentlessly trying to figure out how to either block her from certain sites put a certain bandwidth on her computer but I just can't seem to find it.
My router is a Belkin N150 I have pulled up the router config and there is nothing I can visually see that will do any of what I need, it does not have parental controls or block specific sites, I don't want to block her from complete access just from that because it lags me not only on my computer but I can't even play xbox live its frustrating

May 12, 2008I was having a small driver problem when connecting the Xbox 360 wired controller to my Vista x64 Home Premium machine. There were two instances of the controller in the Device Manager:
1. Xbox 360 Controller for Windows
2. Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows)
I downloaded the drivers for the controller from the MS site: Download Gaming Software. Once I installed the MS drivers, the device "Xbox 360 Controller for Windows" was successfully installed, but the other device "Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows)" would not install the necessary driver. Even Windows Update couldn't find the appropriate drivers for it...........
Not Find Xbox Through Extnder Wizard

Additionally, it will not find the Xbox through the Extnder wizard in Media Center. I have network discovery, file sharing and media sharing enabled. However, i am able to UPNP share via Windows Media Player.

Feb 23, 2008I recently had an issue with my xbox 360 extender after disabling one of the media center extender services in vista x64 ultimate. After trying trying to connect to the media center service i got this error: Connection Failed
The Xbox 360 cannot connect to the Media Center based PC. Make sure the Media Center based PC is turned on and connected to the network. If you continue to see this error, check Media Center Extender Help on your Media Center based PC. Did a little digging and found this MS KB which resolved my problem.
Windows Media Center Extender And Xbox 360
Apr 21, 2008I am using windows vista ultimate and I get a message error on my xbox 360. The Xbox 360 has experienced a failure and was disconnected from the media center based PC. Would you like to reconnect? Vista Ultimate is installed on my laptop for work and I wanted to see how this works but never got it connected. I was able to determine that the cause was the Novell Client for Vista version 1.x, it seems all versions cause this problem. Now I need the client for work and have already filled a bug report with Novell but have not been able to see were to report a bug with MS. I assume it is a Novell issue but I have seen MS KB fixes for novell so wanted to report it to both sides.This never worked with or without sp1 for vista.
View 6 Replies View RelatedXbox 360 PC USB CONTROLLER ISSUE - Disconnects Randomly
May 11, 2009I have the xbox 360 PC controller (USB). Upon receiving last Xmas worked fine until my last reformat. Since then every time I run a game to use the controller it plays for a round maybe 1.5 rounds per game then the controller bails, basically shuts down / disconnects. Windows says unknown usb devise detected. It takes 2x or so reconnecting the controller sometimes a reboot to start the cycle over again.
I went a bunch of pages back on this forum and followed a somewhat simular issue. downloaded drivers from the MS site as well as Win Update even used basic CD install. Same issue all the way through however the last attempt following this thread here (Installing Xbox 360 Wired Controller) activated the controller for nearly 45 mins straight then bailed as usual. So I was looking for advice or anyone else whom might have run into this issue.
Streaming To Xbox Kills Pc Network After 10 Minutes

When i go to pc there is no internet connection and have to reboot pc to recover and so we start again with same problemsduring all this even when the xbox cannot see the pc i can still connect to

Setup of network is as follows

Jan 19, 2009Now, I've seen that there have been a couple of posts up on the internet concerning this issue and it's frustrating to find that there is no solid answers out there. Hopefully we can get something moving from this thread. Recently I decided to move from Vista x32 to Vista x64 due to memory upgrade limitations. Upon loading up Vista x64 I discovered that while my media sharing worked just fine I was unable to setup my 360 to be an MCE.Upon researching all of the solutions posted out there and trying them all, I decided to do some controlled tests to see if I could replicate the issue. EACH series was conducted on FRESHLY loaded installations of Vista Ultimate and here's the results. Setup parameters
MCE: Xbox 360 Elite Edition
MCPC: Intel based Core 2 Duo System with 4GB RAM @ 3.00Ghz (DP35DP)
The base connectivity is a 3COM unmanaged 10/100 switch connected into a Cisco ASA 5505 which is bridged to QWEST DSL via a Cisco 678 DSL modem. All drops in the residence have been checked for interference and signal quality, all passing with flying colors. A Server 2008 based Active Directory Domain is present in this configuration with GPO enforced to the Computers via a link to the OU that contains all PC's. There is also an Exchange 2007 server present in this configuration. When each test is completed, the XBOX is wiped to factory defaults to ensure a fresh approach.....
Media Center Extender (XBox 360 & Home Premium)
May 21, 2008I am struggling to connect my XBox 360, as a Media Center Extender, to my HP Pavilion TX1410US laptop (which is running Vista Home Premium). I had a Windows XP Media Center computer hooked up over my existing home network and it worked fine. I deleted that connection through the first computer and disconnected it through the 360 as well. I was able to obtain a new setup key through the 360 and enter it into Media Center on the Vista computer.
On the 360 side, I am able to get an all black screen that says "Windows Media Center contacting..." in the center of my TV (through the 360), but it always ends with a "Connection Terminated" or "Media Center Extender Error." On the Vista side, I am able to go through all of the steps of setting up an Extender, but it always fails to connect at the last step.
I know that the two can see each other, as I am able to stream music from the Vista computer to the 360... I just cannot make the Media Center work! I have spent a lot of time troubleshooting this using online forums and Microsoft instructional pages. I installed Vista SP1 about halfway through and achieved the same results as before.................

View 4 Replies View RelatedLive Messenger Freezes
Jul 31, 2009When ever I first sign in, whenever I open an IM window or get an IM, whenever I do anything in Live Messenger it freezes for like 20 seconds and then I can use it. After it freezes it won't freeze again until I come back into it. So if I minimize it or open Firefox or IE and then come back, it freezes for like 20 seconds again.
Why is it doing this? I have no idea why... it just does. It did it even before my last format of my HD. I run Vista Ultimate SP1 with all available updates before SP2 including most optional updates except for Dreamscene, sound schemes, and extra games. Also, I have used Windows to delete games and printer services since I never play the games and do not use a printer. I run the latest version of Live Messenger and have NOT modded it or used any sort of cracks on it. I read on another forum that there's a crack for it that does something and it can cause this, just wanted to make it clear that this is the original version from the website.
Log On MSN Live Messenger, Keep Getting Error
Sep 23, 2009when i try to log on MSN Live Messenger I keep getting Error. It just recently started when I updated with the latest Vista patches Sept 20th i believe was when i did it last.. Anyways... as well as when I try to install a program this one is World of Warcraft I get this error:
This Application has encountered a critical error: Error 132 (0x85100084) Program: C:UsersxxxAppdataLocalTemplizzard Exception: 0xC00000094 (INT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO) at 001B:10003E3B
I was able to uninstall the updates but the problems are still occuring. I currently use 2 Anti-Virus programs, Kaspersky, and AVG both legit copies, and they come out clean. Ive also been using Registry Mechanic. As Well when I tried to do a system restore... it was saying i have never done one which I found really odd... especially since ive had this PC for 1-2yrs now.
