Re: 360 won't connect to my MCE PC

I got it going. Looks like even though I uninstalled OneCare and disabled
Windows Firewall it must have turned on ICS and that is what was blocking
the connection.

Nowmy only problem none of my TV, Video, and pictures will play full screen
on my 57" Widescreen. I setup in the console for it to be Widescreen and
480p. My old Xbox was setup before I got the 360 and it played everything
in full screen. Any ideas?
