When Connect Through USB Extender Windows 7 Does Not Pick Up Driver
Oct 8, 2010
I have a 4 port generic usb hub which I have connected to my computer through a 15ft usb extender (PC on a different floor then monitor). Now when I connect through the USB extender windows 7 does not pick up the driver and gives me a code 43 error, but if I connect the usb hub directly to my computer (not through the usb extender) the driver is found and installed. I cannot see why the USB extender causes windows 7 not to find the driver or show a code 43.

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.

I have been tearing my hair out for 2 days now trying to figure this out. All I want to do is connect my xbox 360 in my living room to my xbox through Media Center and watch some movies on my computer on my living room TV. But it simply is not working. I get the error "Cannot Set up Extender" every single time i input the code into my computer that my xbox gave me. But, my dad's computer (windows 7 ultimate x86, connected to the network with ethernet JUST LIKE ME) works perfectly fine and connects instantly. And so does my netbook with the same OS but on wifi, I have been doing everything that google has been telling me through my search results. I have so far narrowed it down to a problem with my computer.

I put Windows 7 (build 7000) onto a plain-vanilla Dell Dimension 4600. It seems to have found the NIC (evidently an Intel Pro/100 VE) just fine: [URL] .. but I'm not picking up an address from my equally-vanilla Linksys router. With the cable unplugged the network window looks like this:[URL]... and as soon as I plug in a cable it starts doing stuff:[URL]... further confirming my belief that the NIC is working and Windows 7 can see it just fine. But then it doesn't pick up an address. [URL]'ipconfig' in a CMD window confirms that it's using a self-assigned (169.x.y.z) address. This machine was online 2 hours ago with XP, so the NIC, cable, and router are all fine.

I've just finished my brand new build and am now ready to install Windows 7.
However when I load the disk select custom install and its asks me to select where I want the OS to be installed, I get an error message saying it cant find my HDD and I need to select the appropriate drivers.
I can see my Hitachi 500Gb in the BIOS, I have tried ATHC and IDT settings but still wont work. I have tried factory default setting in the BIOS but still Win7 cannot pick up my HDD.
The LED is flashing also to note that the Drive is working. Also Win7 wont let me format the disk either.

In my house, there are a couple PCs with Windows 7. Is it possible to use another PC with 7 and the media center as an extender? And if both PCs have TV tuners, can they both share the recordings across each other?

I'm curious if there is a way to run a specific program when I choose to reboot into safemode with networking?
Specifically looking to run or make sure the service for Logmein starts. The work I have to do would be best done in safe mode, and of course connecting remotely would be great.

Several months ago my computer stopped picking up any wireless networks. I can connect using an Ethernet cable and a USB wireless adapter. I have troubleshooted and removed my driver and updated software; I even upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 hoping that might fix the problem but it didnt. I am thinking it may be my internal wireless card. So you recommend going to a hotspot to see if I can pick up there? I would think I would have to do that considering the USB adapter picks up multiple wireless networks but my internal one picks up none so I think that already rules out my router being a problem.

I recently ran a system recovery on my Samsung 305V and set it back to factory defaults. Now my problem is connecting to the internet. I have hardwired it to the router, also reset the modem and router several times. I disabled the firewall and tried running in safe mode with networking, everything has failed. I looked in the Device manager and there are no devices in the network adapter category besides two Bluetooth Devices. Under the Other Devices category it shows Ethernet, Network and SM Bus Controllers with yellow caution signs on them, I don't know what these are but I can't update the drivers on them or anything.

I have a Samsung RC512 SO2 Netbook w/ Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.My Computer has two videos cards in it:
1) Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
2) NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M
Currently it is using the Intel card for my built-in display on the laptop.The max resolution is only 1366 x 728. I am looking for any way to jack up the resolution.Is there a way to switch the built-in monitor's video card to the GeForce, with hopes that it offers a higher resolution?The only thing I could find is a way to utilize the Nvidia card for another monitor if I plug it in, but not for the built-in display of the laptop.

My computer's Stereo Mix option (Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit, HP Pavilion p6330f) USED to be able to record my computer's audio fine, but now it no longer does that. It rather chooses to record exactly what my headset records. It may be worthy to note that I think it may have stopped working because of my new headset (Turtle Beach X11 series). However, going on this theory, I tried to disable the microphone and even use a different kind of microphone, but it still did not work.As I mentioned, I've tried disabling the mic and have looked through the options available on Stereo Mix and just can't seem to figure out why this is happening. I just want to be able to play music back on my microphone when I'm talking to friends on Skype.

I setup the windows media center extender and it works fine. But my issue is with my Computer. My proccessor is maxxing out whenever the process for the Media Center Network is running. The only solution i have found is to end the process manually. But it will randomly re open the process on it own and cause my proccessor to max out and use about 3/4ths of my RAM. It still re opens the process even when my 360 is shutdown and media center is not be used on the PC

I've installed and re-installed the XBOX 360 Media Center Extender to many times to count. Each time I install it the thing fails - absolutely will not connect with my Xbox. The _only_ way I can get it to work is to disable the Windows Firewall. Probably not the ideal thing to do.
Is there a way I can keep Windows Firewall enabled? Some of the tutorials out there say to add an exception for "Media Center Extenders", but nowhere do I see this within the settings. My system, BTW, is Windows 7 Ultimate.
Additionally, I should add that I'm hooked up wirelessly from both machines (PC and Xbox). When I connect the Xbox (when the firewall is disabled) I find the browsing is painfully slow. Any workarounds for that as well?

Any software exist to use laptop as extender ?
I can use other software etc like orb but i don't want to have to install yet more software on the HTPC when surely all it needs is built into MC
And I'm not buying a 360 for the bedroom, there's never any fun and games in there.....

I've been using the 360 as an extender to play mkv files mostly fine. However larger mkv files with ac3 audio stutter and don't play correctly at all. Files with DTS play fine however.
I started off only using the DivX mkv tech preview, with ac3filter. I've tried various other combinations since to no avail, at the moment I'm on a clean install with the 2 mentioned above and the shark007 pack.
Any ideas?

I downloaded the WMPTagSupportExtender.1.4.msi file and it installs fine, but when I use WMP, it doesn't seem to do anything. I hear that using this allows WMP to play .flac files along with the Win7Codecs, but nothing's happening. Am I supposed to enable something? If so, how do I do it?

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.

I have 2 computers. One I was using as windows media center. I have it set with a Ceton Infinity tuner card. This one has Windows 7 pro 64 bit. The other one was just setting doing mostly nothing. It has windows Vista ultimate 64 bit. I thought that could make this one as a extender but I am having trouble setting it up. I believe that I have both computer setup to share all files. I can go to no 2 and add libraries that on no 1 but nothing shows up on no 2. I am about ready to throw a computer and the other equipment I bought for in the trash. Just about any thing I do screws up. Every can that I guess Can not spell or write in good English.

I have my XBOX 360 connected via ethernet cable and often times when I attempt to view Live TV or play a recorded show through the XBOX, it crashes the computer.
I have 64 Bit Windows 7, 4 GB RAM, 2.8 GHz quad core, 1 GB XFX Radeon HD 5670, and use the AVerMedia A188 PCIe Pure ATSC TV Tuner. I've even gone as far as reinstalling Windows 7 with the thought that it might be a 3rd party software issue to no avail.
It does work about 70% of the time, but its really annoying waiting for the computer to restart. Why does this keep happening and what can I do to fix it?

I have searched and trauled the web and this website for answers and this site seems to have some pretty good responses so i thought i would post here. (I have also made a post on Shark007 fourms)
I run windows 7 ultimate 64bit on Intel quad core, 2gb ram with nvidia geforce 9600gt. Starting out with no idea what to do, after a some fiddling and searching i have now got both shark's codecs installed (normal and x64bit) and can run some MKVs through Windows media center using my 360 as an extender.
However, on about half of my MKV files i get the error message:
"The file type is not recognized and cannot be played. Either the correct coded is not installed or the file is corrupt" when trying to play on the xbox360. These same files play fine on Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player on the PC however.
I have tried various settings and also divx and CCCP codecs packs with the same result, (although i had to change some stuff in regedit to get MKV to show up on the xbox using divx) If you need any more information feel free to ask. Edit: I have noticed using sharks analyze function that the MKV which play are: "Format settings, ReFrames : 4 frames" and the ones which do not work are "Format settings, ReFrames : 5 frames"

I've been running Vista 64 sp1 about a year, and using my xbox 360 as an media center extender, hard wired. Its been mainly for pictures and music as we all know it's picky when it comes to video. It's been swell, no hickups at all. All this time, I've had a hauppage HVR4000 installed but not ever in use. Since all i have is analouge cable for TV-signal, I didn't have much use for it anyway, as WMC as of sp1 didn't support this type of signal.
A few weeks back I discovered TVPack2008, and suddenly realized I could put my HVR4000 to some good use. Since this update was OEM only, I had to find a rouge copy of the installer. Voila, analouge cable TV-playback on my 'puter.
Here my sorrows start:
Streaming to MCE (360) now only produced video or audio errors, saying I had to restart the extender. Pictures could still be viewed, but all video/audio nomatter what filetype, would no longer work.
So in my last desperate effort to get it to work again, I installed win 7 64, and was hoping for a change of luck. Same symptoms, different error message: "MCE cannot find the file you are trying to play". Pictures can still be viewed as before. The files are stored in default folders, and they are not corrupted. Streaming to dashboard works fine, both audio and video.
Also the "Play To"-functionality is not working, giving me error codes 0X80040369, UPnP-error 705, saying "cannot control the device".
What I've tried so far without luck:
-Updating firware on my D-link N router
-wiping the Xbox 360 harddrive and running intial setup
-opening up required ports on firewall (although I've read this doesn't do anything for devices on the same network)
-uninstalling hauppage drivers when using vista64 sp1.
My win 7 install is clean, no codec packs or funny stuff.
Anyone experiencing similar things? Or better, could give me some pointers to how to fix it?

When playing video via my xbox 360 extender the picture stutters almost like it's dropping some frames and the sound is unaffected but the same video playes just fine on media center via PC.Both wireless and wired connection with no difference, It's wired at the moment on a 15m / 50ft cable gone to tune network on the xbox 360 media center extender and all is good full bars all the way to the end of HD.Installed shark007 codecs pack v367 and the 64 bit components v367/I have sat and watched the PC performance in task manager whilst streaming to the xbox and don't think there was a problem there, The CPU stayed at a steady 8-12% but peaked at 30% when ever a stutter happened and the ram was a constant 55% with no change. In the networking tab usage never went above 12%.The video file I'm trying to play is AVI, Data Rate 1523, Bitrate 1653, 25 FPS thats all i can tell you i dont really know anything about video formats.PC spec is not fantastic but should be fine to stream to one extender my friend manages with a very old xp pc with only 512mb ram but he uses tversity.

After entering the 8 digit code on my Windows 7 Ultimate PC in the extender setup, I get the "Configuration Error" "An error was encountered while configuring your computer for use with this Extender.".
Happens every time the same way. Each failed attempted causes two event log entries below. Interestingly, immediately after the failed attempt - the "Media Center Extender Service" service gets disabled. It is running under the "Local Service" account. I can set it to "automatic start", and then re-start the service, but as soon as I go through the Extender Setup, and it fails, the service is disabled again, with the two event log entries..

I have WMC set up with an extender to launch XBMC. Alls great when I launch XBMC; WMC closes, I see the Windows 7 desktop, then XBMC loads. I can watch whatever. When I'm done, I exit out of XBMC. It goes back to the desktop, and then WMC loads up again. But now, WMC doesn't have focus, so my remote doesn't work. I have to use a keyboard, and issue an Alt+Tab to switch tasks to WMC. When I'm trying this, WMC is the only running program; so Alt+Tab shows 'Desktop' and 'Media Center'. It appears that the Desktop has focus instead. Very frustrating.
I assume that WMC should have focus when it starts back up, but for some reason it does not...

I have just installed a Netgear WN3000RP Wireless range extender and Netgear N300 Wireless USB Adaptor. The USB Adaptor shows as having WPA2-PSK Security but the Extender only shows as having WPA-PSK Security. This is probably something I did when installing. Is there any way to alter the security setting on the extender or do I need to reinstall it.
