I removed the 360 in Media Center, and disconnected the computer from
within the 360's system menu. I then connected the 360 directly to the
PC, and followed the set up as indicated in your link. As soon as the
360 powered up, Vista detected the Media Center Extender and asked if
I wanted to set it up. It went through the set up process checklist
until it hit the last item (Connect to the Extender), and then the 360
popped up the original "The Xbox 360 has experienced a failure and was
disconnected from the Media Center based PC. Would you like to
reconnect?" error message again. Then, the PC notifies me that set up
is complete, but that it couldn't connect to the extender.

I really appreciate your continued assistance with this. Thanks again!
