Cannot depend on streaming media
This issue is very frustrating. I expect contact Microsoft himself by e-mail on this topic however their site seems to think that my bloody product ID has 'expired '. I really hope that you can provide the answers.
The fundamental issue is that I want to turn on Media Streaming (in Windows Media Player), but I can't. The reason is that the drop-down list box for "show devices on:" (networking and sharing/Media Center Streaming Options) is completely empty, so I can't select anything physically. To see what I want to say, click here to see a screenshot of the problem.
How the hell can I actually get around this problem and turn it on? Seriously, I want to turn it on so I can use it for streaming on my Xbox 360 when I'm playing.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! (By the way, if it makes any difference, I am on Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition)

Cannot enable the streaming media to other devices on my network?
When I try to install Media Streaming on Win 7 Home Premium 64 - bit, using Control Panel/Network Sharing Center/Media Streaming Options, I find the following strange problem. The "show devices on:" drop-down list has no content and does not allow me to select anything. On my Win 7 wife's computer, this dropdown allows of me selcet is "all networks" or "local networks". I discovered this error when I bought an XBox 360 and setup of Windows media Center on it. Windows Media center on the XBox can connect to my PC and play all the music in my library of music through Media Center, but the XBox can't find my pc on the network using the music library or picture library. My PC does not list the XBox when I "see the network computers or devices", but nor does my wife's PC.
I am confused as to how my XBox has been so easily connected to my PC and continues to work perfectly in the application of the XBox, Windows Media Center, and still fails to find my PC or browse its contents through its other music/photo/media applications.
I have no problem connecting to XBox Live or on the internet.
Any ideas?

Cannot depend on Security Center "the Security Center cannot start."
I'm afraid that my computer may not be protected because I cannot depend on SecurityCenter, would appreciate any advice, thank you very much.
Original title: when I try to activate the Security Center, I receive a message saying "failed to start Security Center" can someone tell me why?
Hi Bluehound,
- Since when are you facing this problem?
- You did changes to the computer before this problem started?
- You have a third-party security software installed on the computer
Step 1
First of all, check if the Security Center service is set to automatic and started. To do this follow the steps below:
a. Click Start.
b in the start search box type services.msc and press to enter.
(c) in the services window, do scroll down to Security Center.
d. right-click on it and click Properties.
e. check if the startup type is set to automatic, otherwise it is set to automatic.
f. click on the Start button, this will start the Security Center service.
g. click on apply and Ok.
Check if you can enable the Security Center.
Step 2
If the problem persists, you can also try to temporarily disable third-party security software on the computer and try to check if you can enable the Security Center. If you are able to start, you can contact the manufacturer of security software and check if you need to change the settings. Later, re-enable the security software.
I hope this helps. Let us know the results.
