When I press on Choose media streaming options on the [Control Panel Network and Internet Network and Sharing Center Advanced sharing Settings] Windows 7 explorer.exe won't respond and its closing it.
View 1 RepliesI�ve been trying to stream media from my computer to the PS3. So far my guess is that the reason it isn�t working is because when I go to,Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsNetwork and Sharing CenterMedia streaming options,the pull down menu �Show devices on:� is on �Local network� and only shows only my PC. Whenever I change it to �All networks� I see the �Unknown Device� (I think this is the PS3). When I click �OK� it doesn�t seem to keep the changes. When I reopen �Choose media streaming options�� it�s back on �Local network�.We recently got a new router (Linksys E2500) and this issue seemed to start about then. It could have something to do with the router but I�m wondering why these setting won�t save for me. If I recall correctly, these settings saved when we used our old router. Just some other info that may be useful, my computer has a wired connection to the router and the PS3 is connecting wirelessly.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy pc has been acting funny i ran the chkdisk wich begins when you boot up the pc. At some point i knocked the ac adapter out of my notebook without knowing it and it finally went dead in the middle of the chkdisk. It automatically rebooted and gave me the option to repair the harddisk using vista which i upgraded to 7 a couple of years ago and i would choose the the only other option which was start windows normally well every time i would do that win 7 would try to load and right before you get to ur user account icon where you type in your password the pc would reboot and start this same cycle over and over again. Nevertheless when it rebooted again i hit the fn keys like i was a receptionist typin 150 words a min and i think it might have been the f10 key but not sure and this is the list of options that popped up.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSpecifically, this applies to the Logitech G510 keyboard, but concerns any compound HID device with media keys and USB audio.
In Windows 7 (Ultimate x64), it seems the default behavior for handling volume changes from media keys is to apply them to the default audio device. That is, unless the device sending the volume keys happens to also contain a soundcard, in which case Windows applies the volume changes to the device. On the surface this makes sense, but in practice it can be mildly annoying to some people. Consider the case with my keyboard: on most days, I have a plain old keyboard with media keys. My media keys control iTunes in the background and change my default system volume. Works great. But my keyboard has ports for a headset w/mic. When I plug in my headset my plain old keyboard is now keyboard+media keys+playback device+recording device. Now, Windows decides volume media keys originating from the keyboard should be applied to my headset volume. Bummer.
This is what I'm looking to change. I want the volume keys to continue affecting the default playback device (my headset has inline volume control). I'm hoping it's just a registry edit, but I'm willing to pick apart whatever I have to to make the change.
PS: It may be worth noting this only applies to media keys using USB scan codes. If the device happens to use the PS/2 scan codes for Mute, Vol Up, and Vol Down the changes are applied to the default playback device. This provides another alternative way of changing the behavior: if I can remap the action taken for the USB scan code to the action taken for the PS/2, it would also accomplish what I'm after.
I want to stream to my files to my PS3. My problem lies in that clicking the 'Turn on media streaming' button does not do anything. I've tried clearing the .wmdb files in the "%userprofile%Local SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMedia Player" folder, but it appears that WMP is not able to populate any of my files in its "Library" (I don't actually use WMP, I use Winamp).I had it working in the past but don't know what I have changed. Also, I am using HomeGroup as there are other units in the house on Win7.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat 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?

I am trying to stream my media from this computer to other devices on the network and have successfully many times on this network, mainly to a Sony tv in the living room. I don't know when or what happened, but one day I tried to watch a video on my TV, and the Windows Media Server was unavailable.-Network is setup as a "Home" Network-I have Windows firewall turned off-Am running Norton 360 firewall instead of Windows firewall-Have reset Norton firewall to all the default settings (which I believe allows media sharing by default)-Have my libraries shared-But, here's the problem I believe- when I go to Windows Media Player to ensure Media streaming is enabled, a button says "Turn media streaming on", but when I press it, it grays out for a few seconds, like it is turing it on, but then dosen't change to "Turn media streaming off", nor do I get the button at the bottom to "Save" settings.I recently converted to a SSD drive for OS and seperate data drive in RAID0, so changed a regristry key to move the user files to another drive location (all programs and files open the way they should on the computer right now, and I believe media streamiing has worked since then.

I've been using Windows 7 media streaming to my xbox for some time with no problems.However, I have just moved house, and have had to change my network setup as I have a new service provider. And now, the Xbox refuses to speak to the PC.They are both on the same network, using the same router, and I have changed nothing on the PC itself, except that when I first plugged the network cable in, Windows asked me to tell it which group to join (I selected Home). The xbox is happily detecting the network and the internet, but not the PC (although the PC name is still in the list under Video Apps, but when you select it it just says "Can not find PC".

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got an emacines 1360g to use on a 2nd tv. I want to stream from my main htpc with win 7 media center to it through media center. I had hoped that this machine would be good enough. Added a wireless n USB adapter other than that it is stock with only 2 gb of ram. I have the tv Hooked up via hdmi with 720p resolution.When I look at network drives through windows explorer, it seems to react fairly quickly. When I try to access movies list from media center, it takes forever (>10 mins) and doesn't bing all of them up. same with recorded tv or music or pictures.Is my problem that emachines pc needs more ram or do you think it could be wireless network connection or a setting. I have another laptop that streams great from my main htpc so I don't think it is network,especially since win explorer seems to work fairly quickly. Is it possible t get this system to do media center streaming?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have what seems to be a strange problem with m USB ports. I am running Windows 7 64bit on a HP Pavilion dx5.
I was running Winamp listening to a streaming media file through my external speakers when i decided to plug in my usb headphones ti listen. However now WHENEVER I play ANY streaming media file through Winamp or WMP the audio gets directec to the USB headphones even though there are no headphones plugged in or not. If any music is then played with the same WMP or Winamp the audio gets directed to the speakers. Play the streamng media and the audio gets redireced to the USB.
For some strange reason I cannot get any streaming media to be released from the USB, and be direced BACK to the speakers as I desire. The USB seems to be STUCK on when trying to play steaming media.
I simply wan to be able to plug an then unplug the headphones and the sysem act as it should.
I see that there have been several posts about IDM, but none of them have answers for what I'm looking to do. There is no issue with IDM, just an annoyaIDM is great, I use it all the time. But I don't want it to handle all of my downloads. Sometimes, it doesn't work properly with certain sites (the ones that make you wait a certain amount of time before you can download the file), and it's during those times that I really hate IDM.What I want changed is for IDM to only intercept streaming files, not files I could otherwise download anyway (like programs, etc). Is there a way to make IDM only take in streaming files?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just re-installed the OS after upgrading the MOBO and RAM 2 days ago. When I stream videos on line, I usually select the full screen option. In the past, the video would automatically take up the entire screen of the monitor. Now, even if I select 'Full Screen Mode', the task bar still shows at the bottom of the screen.This does not happen if I'm watching a DVD, only when I stream movies/videos online.
I checked my browser but didn't see any options for that sort of thing. Seems like it's a setting somewhere in Windows that needs to be changed.

Windows 7 x64 latest updates applied. WMP 12 now cannot rip CDs. It was set up and worked fine, but the disk that the path pointed to has been removed from system. Now ripping does not work, and I cannot reset the path. THe options dialog just ignores the click on (CHANGE...) button for path. Clearly a bug.
I have tried to uninstall WMP and reinstall it - using optionalfeatures.exe [or the control panel feature to show windows components] but that does not fix the problem. WMP 12 is back, but still does not work.
I have tried F8 several times to bring up advanced boot options--just to make sure it comes up in case I ever need it. Well--it has no affect; my PC continues into Windows 7. What am I missing here?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to stream music and video files from my desktop computer to my home cinema receiver. Let's say I choose an mp3 file to play. I go to the folder and right-click on the file, then choose Play To. Both my TV ([TV]UE55ES6805) and my receiver (DENON:[AVR-3312]) are networked with a CAT6 cable to my router appear in the options. I click to play the file on my receiver. It then says "Please wait...contacting network device". The name of my receiver appears for a split second and then it immediately says "Device is not responding" and the file will not play. The same goes for the TV. If I go to my receiver and manually choose the mp3 file the networked devices menu (media server), it will play. The same with my TV. If I open Samsung AllShare on my desktop, all files will stream to either the TV or receiver. It is only this "Play To" function that won't work. The Network Map under Network and Sharing Center shows both devices on the network.
The funny thing is, I have a laptop also running Windows 7 and this same function on that works FLAWLESSLY. So I am going to assume it is not a problem with my HI-FI equipment, my router (Netgear R6300), Windows Firewall or my Avast! Antivirus software that is running on both computers. The function doesn't work when I disable both Windows Firewall and the antivirus on the desktop computer. I really need to figure this out and make it work from my desktop computer as all the media I want to stream is there, but I cannot figure it out after reading other posts about it on the internet or troubleshooting using the directions for a similar problem over at Microsoft support. I can use AllShare, but I find the interface cumbersome and it doesn't recognise track numbers so all the songs in an album get sorted alphabetically rather than by track.
