Re: Linksys Media Center Extender disconnects every 30 sec

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I do see the start page and it connects for roughly 30 secs or so. I bought
the pc preinstalled from dell and they created 3 seperate partitioned drives.
Local disc "c" ntfs, local disc "f" fat, and local disc "g" fat32. I have
not added any hard drives since I bought the computer. I did reinstall the
windows media player 10 and media center programs and have tried to fix other
problems but have not reinstalled windows xp media center edition.
