Keep the PC sleeping positions, but dim the screen instead? (Like the Xbox 360)
I have my Xbox 360 console and my Windows 7 computer attached to my Philips monitor.
I have my Xbox 360 console and my Windows 7 computer attached to my Philips monitor.
Whenever my computer goes to sleep after inactivity, the screen goes of course to sleepwhich translates as my Xbox 360 restarting and going weird, until the monitor wakes up.I know that I can prevent my computer from falling asleep, but I don't know how healthy it is for the PC.A screen saver would work for this?In addition, what would happen (and how long would it take) if I forced my pc to stay awake forever?Like, what's the worst that can happen?Thank you.
Unless you have a few problems of heat - it probably won't affect the machine simply use a screen saver. There are a lot of machines out there who have been in years--perhaps decades.

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.

Impossible to share media with the XBox 360

However, when I go through the steps, IE open Windows Media Player > library > media sharing, there is not all the icons to select share with. I can click the file sharing box, and then click OK.

Original title: the xbox 360 Media Player plays more music after I upgraded my CPU
I have Vista 64 SP2. The service runs for 5 seconds and then I get the message that she stopped. He was works well for years (my Xbox 360 sharing), I'm guessing he stopped a few weeks ago after I put in a slightly faster processor. I watched a some tech posted and tried to run the program which seeks the corrupted system files, but the only files that it could not pay had to do with the sidebar Windows. I have removed and put back my media extender, I thought that it worked because I've seen (from my xbox) miniature images, videos and music counting upward, as they have been added and I could see them. But if I take one he freezes for a few seconds and then says the media sharing service took end (or something like that). Then, I go to my PC and see that it stops. I can restart, but it only lasts for 5 to 10 seconds.
I also say a post about deleting files in C:\Program Data\Microsoft\DRM, but I have all the files in there. Just a server folder empty.

How can I turn off the xbox 360 controller wireless for pc
How can I turn off the xbox 360 controller wireless for pc
Hello!
I made a small application for this! It is called XboxExt (Manager of the Xbox 360 controller). There is no way to disable the controller in a failure to properly on PC. With the Games Games for Windows Live you can press the GUIDE button on your controller, and you can turn it off.So my app is doing the same thing, but not only with Games for Windows Live games.

Windows Media Center on the xbox 360 extender Feezes
Hello
I have recently updated from windows vista to windows 7 and now can't use my xbox as an Extender as it freezes when opening on my xbox.
I looked through many forums that suggest that it freezes before the opening, for example to connect to the computer, my problem happens after it connects.
I turned off my firewall and now only have the windows firewall, which apparently must allow the connection.
The only other difference is that I bought 2 powerline adapters both capable of speeds of 200 Mbps, so I don't see why they should cause problems.
Any help would be appreciated. My computer knowledge is not really great, but will try all of the suggestions.
Hi Mattlucas1976,
You can also check the firewall and security settings. Sometimes they interfere in the connections. Try to disable them temporarily and check if you are able to connect to wireless internet. Later do reactivate and try to change the settings for the same thing.

Media center immediately crashes when I try to add the extender for the Xbox 360
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. I try to add the extender for the Xbox 360 to Windows Media Center.
