Re: 360/Vista Media Center Crashing

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

When it appears to be frozen, try pressing the green/Start button on the
remote control; are you then able to control the Media Center interface? If
so, it appears that an application has launched in the Extender session and
stolen focus. Once you've confirmed this, we can attempt to identify that
application.

Hi All,

I have the exact same problem as the original poster (ali). I have a brand
new HP Pavilion 7780 with Vista Home Premium.

MC works fine on the PC but on the 360 after a couple of seconds upon
loading it freezes completely and only the guide button keeps on working.

I already did a clean install of Vista but that didnt help. I disabled all
programs in media center to make sure these cant cause the issue either.

I am desperate - this is one of the reasons for me to buy this PC.

Thanks,

Thijs

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your help but that isn't the problem. The remotes are fine
and I can use the Xbox side of things even when MCE on the 360 freezes
up (ie, I can change volume, press the guide button etc, but I can't
navigate the MCE interface as it's frozen).

I'd already gone through the whole set up using the 'add extender' and
- occassionally when the thing doesn't freeze - I can get to the guide
and all my media just fine.

I tried a new NIC card yesterday but that hasn't helped.
