    As well as a few other people here, I got the above message trying to connect for sharing (with my Sony Bravia TV) media. This is the first time I tried to use the media sharing.
    I went through the under process, but at step 4. There is no file [security]. I can't use system restore. It could have been this way for years!

  • Sharing multimedia files has been disabled because a windows required setting or a component has changed.

    Earlier today, I was a game on my Xbox 360 and decided I want to play music in the background, using the guide of 360.

    I went to "Select Music", searched my PC in the devices menu, and it does not appear. This has happened before, I just figured out my PC was in place. I went to the 360 Dashboard and looked back to the server. He has not yet shown upward.

    I went to Windows Media Player on the PC that I share the media selected in the dropdown under library and went to share multimedia files. (Here's where it gets confusing...)

    He gave me a message saying "sharing multimedia files has been disabled because a Windows setting required or a component has been changed." I hit very well, and I went back to the sharing of multimedia files. Now, I had the option to check the box "share my media". I checked, hit OK, made sure everything was good to go. The unit has not yet appear on the dashboard. I went back to the sharing of multimedia files. To my surprise, I received always «sharing multimedia files has been disabled...» »

    This is the part of the confusion: if I turn on media sharing, Windows it cuts back.

    I tried all the solutions online that I could find, which includes deleting the files in the Windows Media AppData\Microsoft folder. Register a dll to the administrator. Ensuring that you have the "Windows Media" folder. All take very well.

    Basically I narrowed down it to: nothing works.

    Each person could fix their problem by using the solutions proposed in other posts on other forums/blogs. Mine is recurring. In addition, my media is on a separate internal hard drive, which I added to the Windows Media Player files to add multimedia elements. I went and deleted from here. I still have the problem of sharing.

    All said Microsoft is to restore your computer to a previous state. It's not really useful. I don't want to go just restore. I want to fix it where. In addition: restoration would not help, I don't know how long this problem exists, but I have not known about it.


    -Very well, after a fresh reformat the hard drive and re-installing Windows, I finally reduced the problem.

    I have not had ANY problems with the computer... Until I installed my Adobe CS5 Master Collection again.

    It turns out that the part of the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended software called Adobe Presenter 7 causes the sharing to go haywire.

    I deleted Adobe Presenter 7, and just like that, sharing has increased again.

    In addition, Adobe Acrobat 9 was causing my sidebar to go haywire, so I advanced and which takes off as well.

    Have not had a problem since.

  • Network of Windows media sharing service player does not start - Vista and PS3

    I am running Vista 32 bit Home Premium and trying to share my media to DLNA on my PS3 PC using Windows Media Sharing Service. UPnP is enabled. Network discovery is turned on. File sharing is enabled. Media sharing is turned on.

    Whenever I visit Windows Media Player or try to change the setting of sharing media in network and sharing Center, there is the error message "media sharing is currently disabled, either because the sharing service is not running or your firewall settings have changed. To restart sharing, you must first confirm your settings.

    During the deactivation and reactivation of sharing multimedia files, I never see PS3 on the list (not a single unknown device appears). Also I see no Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service on the list of Services - there is no way to toggle the service or do start automatically.

    There are several user accounts on this PC and I made the changes on my admin account.

    Tried a 3rd party software Java "PS3 Media Server" and makes my Vista computer show on PS3 without parameters or modifications to firewall. This suggests that the WIFI, router, network discovery and UPnP work. I prefer to use Windows services if I would only get their work.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • PS3 media sharing with windows 7

    OK, I've seen some quesitons on threads with the PS3 does not share is not with vista.

    I have recently upgraded to windows 7. Before I upgraded I was using windows vista home. I had not a single problem getting my PS3 to share then. Once I upgraded my system to windows 7, I can't have the media sharing to work.

    Is it because the PS3 doesn't have an option to connect to the homegroup yet?

    I see in the media sharing devices, if I selet "all the networks" it will come as an unknown device. If there is a way to get windows 7 to recognize the PS3 as a media valid and peripheral network share please let me know.

    Hello wand,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Ansers forum! You should be able to take the following steps to enable the media to share between your PS3 and your Windows 7 operating system:

    Go to Control Panel > network and sharing Center > advance change sharing settings

    Then you must make sure that:

    - Network discovery is on
    - Printer & file sharing is turned on

    After that, click on media streaming options

    In the bar of menu display devices , select all networks

    You should see some unknown devices/peripherals.

    Double click on each unknown device to see the MAC address of the device

    Find the device that corresponds to the MAC address of your PS3 and allow this multimedia sharing device

    Hope this helps J

    My music is served off my Qnap NAS via Twonky Media Server.

    So I have to share anything from any of my machines to Windows 8.

    Yet all my DNLA receivers (Noxon Audio, audio/video receiver, BD player...) are "polluted" by as many servers as there are has user accounts on Windows 8 machines under tension: if I turn on just my laptop and tablet, I have no less than 8 useless media servers and this can get worse!
