Re: Unable to get media centre guide

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

I have the same problem. The Guide downloaded fine but when I networked my
computers Media Centre decided it was unable to find a connection, although
my connection is working fine. I have emailed Packard Bell twice for a
solution but haven't heard anything yet, will let you know if I find anything
useful.
