Cannot Connect To Xbox

Aug 18, 2012

I have windows 7 home professional 32bit and an xbox 360, and I just cannot get media center to work. I have moved from wireless to wired, disabled windows firewall, tried just using a switch instead of my BT Home Hub 3.0

It gets as far as the xbox displaying 'connecting to media center' but the PC comes up with an error was encountered.

The event viewer error message is :

Media Center Extender Setup cannot create an account for the Extender with ID: uuid:10000000-0000-0000-0200-0025AEEBD738.

Error: Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed.

The event ID is 545

Source : Media Center Extender.

I've been at it all morning, so I'm popping out for a bit to calm down But will start again later. Are there any connectivity issues with the Home Hub 3.0 ? UPnP is enabled.

Can't Connect Xbox To Router

Mar 3, 2011

Can't connect my Xbox to my router.I've just brought a new router.It is a Tenda W311R Wireless N Cable DSL Broadband Router.But I can't connect it to my Xbox 360 S.I've managed to add my PC, Laptop, and PS3 to my home network without any difficulty however.I've encrypted my home network with WPA2 as recommended by Microsoft.These are the steps I took when trying to add my xbox 360 S console to my home network:

1. On the console I went to My Xbox
2. Then System Settings.
3. Network Settings
4. Scan for Networks
4. My router was listed so I selected it
5. I then entered my WPA2 wireless password
6. Then I selected Test Xbox Live Connection.

The console then said it couldn't connect to my wireless network. I was thinking that the Xbox 360 S console's built-in Wi-Fi uses the 2.4 gigahertz frequency band. Maybe my router is broadcasting using another frequency... But I have yet to check what that frequency is.

Cannot Connect Xbox 360 To Pc - Unidentified Network

Nov 14, 2009

Simply discribed: Can't establish a connection from my xbox360 to my PC. I'ts a direct connection and it should work like: xbox->PC->Gateway->Internet

I got it connected directly to the pc on Connection 1. On connection 2 is the gateway.

In the network sharing center the xbox on connection 1 is marked as "unidentified network". When I go to advanced sharing center, and check the full map of my connection 1 it shows me 1 hub, my PC and the XBOX!!

But, when I move over the XBOX with the pointer it says : IPv4 address: 0.0.0.0 and a MAC address which seems to be configured.

Well....I'm not even able to establish any connection from my XBOX to the PC. It simply says that its not connected to a PC or hasn't got a IP address from the PC.

I hope that some of you guys can help me out with this mess, I googled around the web and found no concrete solution to this problem.

btw, I'm using up to date nforce controllers, and Windows 7 64bit.

Cannot Connect To Media Center Extender On Xbox 360 (windows 7)

Jun 23, 2012

i am trying to connect my xbox 360 as an extender. i get all the way through the setup and it fails at the last step. i have gone into my firewall and the media extender is ticked to allow. i have also manually set up rules to allow all the ports i found on the microsoft site to be allowed. lastly, i tried the microsoft fix it tool on the microsoft support site. i have run out of ideas. the xbox is definitely on the same network as me, it can see my laptop and also my iomega iconnect when i go into setting and network connections. it tests positively when i test the network connection, but fails when i test the media centre connection.

i have gone through the setup 3 times now (i.e. reset the connection and put in another 8 digit code to set up) but still no luck.

Xbox And PC Do Recognize Each Other

Mar 28, 2011

I have been pouring over countless threads on issues related to this. Yet none of these solutions seem to be working for me, and I am fairly certain that I am implementing them correctly.Xbox and PC do recognize each other and I can access the libraries on my computer via xbox.I have setup the Windows Media Center on my Xbox.WMC on my computer shows the Xbox is setup as an Extender. It also states that it is ready for use. Every time I try to run WMC on my Xbox it enters the black screen that says Windows Media Center and has the load "bubbles" underneath with the word Contacting... after a period the screen times out and gives me the message:"Connection Failure.The Xbox could not connect to the Windows Media Player PC. Turn the console off and and back on again, and try again."

Computer Can't Add Xbox As An Extender To WMC But Others Can

Jul 11, 2011

My computer info:

Toshiba protege m750 S7212
Windows 7 Ultimate
Service Pack 1
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHZ 2.40 GHz
Ram: 4.00 GB (2.87 usable)
32-bit

I can not get my Windows Media Center to connect to my xbox as an extender. I decided to attempt to use another computer to connect and as soon as WMC opened up it ask if I wanted to connect my xbox 360 as extender, which worked. That computer was a new Dell laptop. I haven't been able to set my Xbox 360 up as an extender to my Toshiba, with both the new sleek black one with the built in wifi, or the older 360 I had. This tells me 1: It is not my Xbox. 2: It is probably not my router settings. 3. Its a computer specific problem. When I search for my xbox as an extender on the Toshiba it Can't get past "configuring device". But I can see the xbox from Toshiba under the network window in explorer as a media device. My WMC runs fine. I haven't actually tried to use for anything other than adding my xbox as an extender but it does not crash. My xbox is not now or previously set up with another device before my Dell computer attempt.

Things I've tried: Every setting possible for two different routers I've owned that both boast media center compatibility (which is true for the Dell). All the port forwarding and opening and even putting my xbox into the DMZ. DO NOT TELL ME TO GO TO A SITE ABOUT ROUTER SETTINGS.

Uninstalling WMC by turning it off and on as a windows feature via the programs and features menu. Turning my firewall completely off to update and connect to Xbox Direct connecting both computer and xbox to router. Updating all my drivers. "Download now" option under WMC general settings to try and the most recent update.

command prompt: sfc /scannow. Everything came back verified. Create another user account with admin rights.

Both the Dell and my Toshiba are the most recent version of WMC: 6.1.7601.17541 (win7sp1_rtm.101119-1850). The only feature the Dell has that I don't is "Cyberlink Power DVD" which might be a Delly only feature. Both computers have the same setting on the router as well. My computer wasn't able to use the last cisco one to add the xbox and now we have a d-link DIR-685. With updated firmware. All my drivers are updated except for the PCI Simple Communications Controller which I tried an automatic and manual update through the intel set. And the AYGOK82A IDE Controller driver which didnt even show up after a web search.

Xbox 360 Controller Not Working On PC?

Mar 16, 2012

which is why i made myself an account to post on this forum.The problem is when i'm plugging my xbox 360 controller on my computer , the lights are flashing and i can't use it.I have downloaded the good drivers on microsoft website. (My controller is wired by the way.)I have downloaded the driver multiple times , uninstalled it , restarted my computer etc.I have tried everything that was on the internet , at this point i don't know what to do anymore and i'm frustrated.In fact , the controller works fine and the driver too , but when i move the controller or take it in my hands , the lights start flashing and it looks like the driver ''disconnect''. have made a video of it where you can see me taking the controller in my hands and the lights flashing , you also hear a noise of ''new material detected'' when it flash because the driver stop working for a second or two.Also , if i move too much with the controller , i get a blue screen of death.All my drivers are up to date , i'm using a program called DriverUpdate and i have the full version of it.

BluRay Drive For The Xbox 360

Oct 28, 2008

Blu-Ray drive for the Xbox 360? Nope.

This week, rumors popped up again that Microsoft was working on a $100-$150 Blu-Ray add-on drive for the Xbox 360. And once again, the rumors are untrue.

Here's the official statement.

"As we've said before, Microsoft has no plans to introduce an Xbox 360 Blu-ray add-on. Games are what drive consumers to purchase game consoles, and we remain focused on providing the largest library of blockbuster games available." Read more at the source.

How To Format A Original Xbox 360 HDD For Use On PC

Dec 22, 2011

i was trying to find out on the net how to format my old xbox 360 hdd for pc since i can't use it anyways because i got the new xbox that doesn't use those anymore so i stumbled across a thread showing how to do it and i thought i would explain how to do this so you can use it as a normal external HDD.first what you need is a xbox hdd and a xbox 360 hard drive transfer cable

1.download a tool called Hard Disk Low Level Format Tool link: [URL]

2.once you install that start the hard disk low level format tool and select your xbox 360 HDD?

3.click the tab called low-level format?

4.Then click "format this device" and wait a while for it to finish formatting the xbox hdd?

5.When its finished formatting go to your windows start menu right click on computer and choose manage?

6.click on the tab called disk management and there should be your xbox hdd but un-formated so your going to have to make it NTFS format and right click on it and make a new simple volume. If it does not allow you to make a new simple volume then right click were it says disk on the side like for example disk1 depending how many HDD's your pc has and choose convert to GPT disk,mines already formatted should look similar just without the NTFS and custom named hdd?

7.once that is done it should make your xbox HDD usable on your pc like any normal pc HDD ?

Error Playing MKV On XBOX 360

Dec 25, 2009

For some reason, I am no longer able to play MKV files through WMC on my 360.

The error message it's giving me is:

Cannot play Video,

The file type is not recognized and cannot be played. Either the correct codec (a file that compresses/decompresses audio or video) is not installed or the file is corrupt.

It used to play fine when I had installed K-lite codec pack as well as Divx direct show filters.

However, I had bad ram and had to re-install Windows 7 and since then, playing MKV movies on my 360 through WMC does not work!

Any suggestions?

I've un-installed all the codec packs like Divx and k-lite, still not working.

New PC Wont Find Xbox 360

Apr 2, 2011

Built a new PC, everything works fine except one thing. Cant get it to connect to my xbox. It shows up when I look at my Network Map, but it isnt listed under Sharing Options as a device. I have every sharing option I can find allowed and turned my firewall and antivirus off. One odd thing that I have found is that under Run<services.msc Media Center Extender Service will not stay allowed. I can change the properties to Automatic and then start the service but if I go back and look, it will be disabled again. My router settings should be fine because it worked fine on my XP machine and my Windows 7 laptop. Even works in linux.

Streaming Videos To Xbox 360?

Sep 30, 2011

I have a laptop running windows 7, connected to an external hard drive. I keep all of my .avi files on the external hard drive. I have set up sharing with the xbox - it picks up files in the following folders:

Downloads
Public Videos
Recorded TV

Videos in these folders can be played on the xbox. However, it doesn't pick up any of the shared folders in the external hard drive (G:Movies etc). The files on the external drive have been added to the WMP library and show up there no problem, and I have manually set the folders to be shared.

Streaming Media From PC To Xbox 360?

Dec 30, 2011

What I would like to do is to be able to access all of my music and videos from my computer and external hard drive, on my Xbox, through my router. I am using the Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus and firewall, and no third party antivirus/antispyware or firewall programs.I have an Xbox 360 Elite, not one of the new wireless versions. I went into HomeGroup on my computer and checked 'share media with devices' and also checked music, pictures, and videos. So far I can play music on the Xbox by going to the music app and choosing my PC. The problem is, I can only play songs that are directly in the Music folder on my computer. And only certain songs at that, I'm not sure why. I have a subfolder within Music called Full Albums and I cannot play ANYthing in that subfolder. What am I missing?Also, is it possible to access music and videos on my external hard drive? Provided my external hard drive is connected to my computer of course.Lastly, I can't access anything unless I disable Windows Firewall. How do I set up an exception for the Xbox so that I don't have to disable the firewall every time I want to do this?

Xbox Wireless 36 Adapter For 64 Bit

Apr 15, 2011

Now I know I looked before I went and bought a new Xbox 360 wireless controller for my PC games and swear everyone said it would work. But after just getting the wireless receiver and plugging it in, I get a light on but nothing works. I went to Microsofts site for drivrs and downloaded everything for the wireless Xbox 360 controller to drive my usb receiver. But nothing. It does not even reconize it. I tried putting the install drivers on desktop and the update drivers that way and, nope, nada. Just says you have the latest drivers. But it still does not know it is Xbox 360 receiver. I know someone has gotten this darn thing to work and I am just not in the game, literally. I even tried XP Mode and it will not let me play installed games on Widows 7 drive.

Using Xbox 360 Controller With Windows 7?

Jun 15, 2011

I have downloaded the software pack and when I plug my wired controller in almost everything works perfectly, BUT whenever I press the right trigger (left trigger too on some games, I've tried this with multiple games) the game just freezes, it won't unfreeze until I unplug the controller. This only happens during gameplay, pressing the RT any time where it won't register doesn't do anything.

Xbox 360 Video Sharing, External HDD?

Jun 4, 2011

I have my PC (Windows 7 Professional) set up to share its media with my Xbox 360. As long as files added to my media library are stored locally on my C: drive, they show up on my console. If I add a folder which is on my external G: drive, its contents appear in the media library but do not appear on the console. I'm not sure if this is because of some security settings on the external drive- I think the problem began when I updated to Windows 7 and took ownership of the external hard drive (because "<unknown contact>" was listed as the files' owner).
