Configuration error up to Xbox 360 as extension of media including Windows 7 PC multimedia

Running Windows 7 x 32.

Until the recent XBox 360 update, everything worked fine using 360 as a media Center Extender.

Now fails and when I try to resestablish a connection, a configuration error arises.

Network connection looks very good I can still media playback fine on the Xbox interface.  Media Center seems to find and install the extension OK, just fails during Setup.

Have tried with AV and fiewalls disabled (Karspersky) without success.

Frustrating that was working fine, now the functionaility is lost.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

For months, I met a problem exactly as described here, but I finally fixed it on my machine and I think that I learned at the base of it.

The fix (this is for Windows 7, can also apply to Vista):

1. find your file 'Users' (usually c:\users).

2. under "Users" folder, navigate to the subdirectory "Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live".
Note: The directory does not exist, but I saw the problem of the Extender only on a computer that has it.

3 inside of that directory, there are additional subdirectories (e.g. "Bob" and "SqmApi"). Inside, there are several files with the extension .sqm. THE PROBLEM IS WITH. SQM FILE PERMISSIONS. Specifically, the profile service has access permissions or to copy files when you create a new profile.

4. to solve the problem of authorization, perform the following actions on each of the SQM files.
Note: Inherit permissions from the parent container will grant all access to read files.

a. right click on the file, select Properties.
b. Select the Security tab, click the Advanced button
c. Select the permissions (default) tab, click on change permissions...
d. MARK THE BOX: include permissions can be inherited from the parent of this object.
e press the OK button several times to close all dialog boxes.

Then, the Media Center Extender installation program as per regular instructions.

While these steps managed to fix my computer, they may not apply to all situations. My advice is to run the following diagnosis:

1. use the control panel to create a new user account.

2. use "Switch user" (or Log off/Log) in an attempt to connect to this new account. This attempt will fail (if not, you may have a different problem).

3 look at the log of the events of 'Application' (under "Windows logs") for the relevant events.

On my machine, I received several warnings with 1509 event Id on files that could not be copied from Users\Default to Users\TEMP due to access denied errors. There were files .sqm with incorrect permissions.

  • Windows Media Center extender on my XBOX works initially, but not after reboot of my XBOX. Error: Failed to connect to the Xbox 360 could not connect to the windows Media Center computer.

    It's VERY odd and very annoying!

    I set up my laptop next to my Xbox 360 with an Ethernet cable directly connecting the laptop to the XBOX, and the laptop is on our wireless network. The XBOX has access to the internet (shared through the laptop), and when I test the PC connection and the connection XBOX Live sound fine to all.

    So I'll try to set up Windows Media Center, it works great! I "Add Extender", put the code to 8 digits. It passes through the installation, all works, no problems and WMC opens on the XBOX, I can go into my library, watch movies etc... works great!

    However! As soon as I turn my XBOX off and back on, it will fail to connect to the WMC.

    He says his 'find Windows Media Center PC' which seems to work fine, it goes to the ' Windows Media Center loading screen "contact...". ", and after about 10 seconds, I get an error"failed to connect the Xbox 360 could not connect to windows Media Center PC. Make sure that the PC is turned on and connected to the network.

    I tried to configure the Extender repeatedly, whenever it works fine until I restart the XBOX... :/ - and its strange cause I still the internet connection (shared through the laptop) after turning on the XBOX, its really JUST Media Center which is screwing around.

    She continues to keep trying to connect then repeatedly fails.

    If I wanted to, I could re-configuration the WMC Extender EVERY TIME turn off the Xbox, which works the first time without fault, but that's all just stupid.

    I can't really understand what is happening here... any help would be appreciated.

    Unfortunately, this won't work.  The Play and Charge kit connects only up to the actual battery.  Still, the controller connects more wireless.

    You would need a wired Xbox 360 controller or Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming receiver that connects to your wireless controller existing.

  • Trying to connect Xbox 360 to Internet using laptop with Windows 7, but am not finding the 'Share' button in the network connections and I don't have the ability to "bridge connections".

    Sorry about the long title, but it pretty much says my problem. I am trying to connect my Xbox 360 to my Windows7 laptop with the ethernet cable. I have a home network that the wireless laptop works out of. When I go into the control panel network connections section, I can't find the 'Sharing' tab that says that every tutorial I can find there should be. Tutorials can say to go to the screen that shows your wireless connections, highlight your home network and the network to your Xbox and then right click and press "bridge connections". I do not have the option for bridge connections. Can anyone help?

    After having connected the laptop and Xbox with an Ethernet cable, you should be able to enable sharing of Internet connection on the wireless network connection:

    1. Make sure that the two network connections are enabled.
    2. Right click on the wireless network connection.
    3. Click on Properties .
    4. Click sharing .
    5. Put a check mark in the check box under Internet connection sharing .

  • Publisher cannot connect XBOX 360 controller wireless receiver PC on Windows 7.

    I can't connect a XBOX 360 controller to my PC with the receiver wireless on Windows 7 (64-bit). I have correctly installed the driver, and the wireless receiver is recognized by the PC. The problem occurs when I try to connect the controller to the receiver, as do not connect or recognize each other. I press the Connect button on the receiver, then the light starts flashing. I then press and hold the connection button on my controller, which makes the quadrants "search for", but they quickly cease, and instead assign a specific quadrant, all quadrants begin to Flash instead, as before. Nothing seems to work, I have tried to unplug all other USB devices and wireless, connecting the receiver to different USB ports and change the batteries. What should I do now?

    Moose title: Wired xbox 360 controller not recogniezed

    I recently received an xbox 360 WIRED gamepad and when I plug it into the computer (windows 7 64-bit) does not recognize the device, I tried to use the updates of drivers and microsoft Xbox 360 accessories program detects or updates are available.

    I had the same problem, cannot find a solution that worked everywhere, including Microsoft support forums.

    About to give up, I remembered the old cure NDA, shaped, "why not?"  I've tried everything else. "So I've disconnected everything on the gamepad, blew in every connection and reconnected everything, by ensuring that the connections were tight.
