Re: Problem connecting Xbox 360 to Media Center PC

When you went through the MCX connection/setup wizard and typed in the
8-digit code from the Xbox 360, did the wizard complete successfully?
Either way, please post the contents of your DvcSetup.log and DvcConn.log
files from c:\windows.

The Remote Desktop issue you cite is because Windows XP Media Center Edition
(and Windows XP Pro) support one concurrent desktop user (the MCX users
count against a separate total of 5 Media Center/MCX users).

I checked the event viewer and each log, Application, Security, System and
Media Center.

Could it be a problem with Remote Desktop? I've noticed when I try to use
a
remote connection to the same computer. No one can be using that
computer,
whether I use my userid or Administrator.

Thank you for the continued help!

I've done a fresh install a week ago and only have diskeeper, quicken
and
adobe reader installed. I don't see anything in the event viewer with
a
similar time stamp. Is there another error log file I should check?

In the error log, see if there is mention of the app...

I've been having trouble getitng the xbox 360 to connect to my
media
center pc.

I keep receiving an error messege saying "Another user or
application
on
the
Windows Media Center-based PC has disconnected this device."

I can see My Pictures and My Music through the Windows Media
Connect,
but
can't resolve my connection issue with the Media Center PC.

From reading through the posts here, I've disabled my windows
firewall,
reviewed the Event Viewer logs for something with a time stamp
similar
to
the
attempted connection, updated my LAN driver and directly connected
the
PC
and
the Xbox with an ethernet cable, bypassing my router, all with
same
result
and error messege.

I've also followed the the 6 or 7 step troubleshooting guide with
no
luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,
Steve
