Xbox 360 slim crashes at connection screen media Center windows

I had windows for windows xp sp2 Media Center and I got the xbox 360 s connected to the computer. Everything is all connected and correctly configured, but when I try to connect to windows media center, it remains just to the screen where is says contact windows media center. These circles are still flashing so the xbox has not frozen. I waited at least 10 minutes and its still on the screen all the advice on what to do?

Hello, bob4544353534

What security software do you use? (Antivirus, firewall, etc.).

Try restarting the computer and Xbox and try to reconnect.

If you use a third-party AV or firewall, remove the extender connection, disable the firewall/AV and then configure the extension once more.

For information about how to remove the Extender, check out the following link:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Use-a-Windows-Media-Center-Extender-device

Remember to re-enable your security software after the addition of the Extender.

  • [Solved] Xbox 360 controller won't connect to my PC Windows 7 x 64 correctly

    [SAI followed instructions. installed the software, plugged the dongle wireless, then began the controller.] I tried to sync the controller to the wireless dongle, the dongle will start to blink for a few seconds and the controller has his little spinning light show, they connect to an instant and the controller recognizes that the dongle is there, but none of quadrants light up, and the controller goes back to what all 4 quadrants flashing. I repeated the process a few times now and I still have the same results, I even tried to download drivers specific to Windows 7 x64bit with no luck. How can I get this controller to work?

    In fact, I thought that my problem. I had installed MotionJoy earlier so I can use my PS3 to my PC controller. Well, I had uninstalled the software and thought that he would remove the components it is on its own. There can be no. I have had MotionJoy drivers installed somewhere. Whatever it took, it was for me to update the drivers then switch to Microsoft XBOX 360 licensed drivers, it's pretty confusing but, given the name of the 'device MotionJoy Virtual Xinput for Windows' drivers, for me, it sounded like Microsoft had used just the drivers of MotionJoy, I thought that maybe they had some kind of deal for her , but I was wrong. Anyway, problem solved. Thank you Vijay anyway, maybe someone will find your useful answer in the near future.

  • Xbox 360 slim connect to the interface on WRT160N wireless - g

    Hello:

    I bought a new Xbox 360 Slim a month ago. Before that, in anticipation of the console to my new wireless capabilities I advanced and changed my old WRT54G (1.1) for a wireless-N router WRT160N allowed.

    When I plugged the console for the first time it was a nightmare to configure wireless settings... It wouldn't connect, in every possible way... And when I finally made a connection that he deleted just after 1 hour (I think it had something to do with the renewal of WPA key, if you must ask) I've updated the firmware and all was good again. BUT! It only connects to wireless-G... I have the router located on 'Mix', so she accepts my notebooks 802.11 G and my 360 Wireless N, but just, it detects the router mode G and connects like that...

    I tried EVERYTHING, but nothing works.

    It connects fine, I even get open NAT on the console and play online with no apparent problems, but I need Wireless N, because the router and 360 are too separate, and the signal is becoming weak. Also I usually stream 1080 p content so I need more bandwidth.

    I tried setting that "only wireless n" router, but then the console just does not connect, says he "can't connect to the wireless hardware.

    I could not test any hardware wireless-N, so I don't really know if it's the fault of the router, the console or is that just, they are not compatible...

    Any tips?

    Can't... My only two options are 'automatic' or 'only 20 Mhz'... :/ I can only change the channel on 20 Mhz. But thanks for the tip.

    EDIT:

    OMG, I can't believe it... It is NOT a malfunction N wireless network... This has to do with security... I had my personal WPA authentication method... According to joint works like a charm and everything connects, but the Xbox connect just the wireless G. Under Wireless-N only, it just does not connect. But I tried to disable security, and he comes to connect n wireless!

    Now, I switched to WPA2 Personal... it connects perfectly on Wireless N even if I set the 'Mixed' router and broadband radio and the way to the car.

    My problem is solved, however, I got to know is always:

    Why he doesn't connect WPA enabled?

    Hi Markio,

    The resolution of the problems with the Xbox 360 I asked:
  • Where can I buy an original Xbox 360 slim power supply

    I got a new xbox 360 slim power brick came from damage, very hot, the fan does not turn on and the xbox turns off.  Where can I buy a new power supply for Xbox 360 slim?

    Hello

    You will probably want a replacement. I would have you contact Xbox 360 support and ask for a replacement.

    If you want to buy a new Xbox slim 360 power supply current, no doubt, you can visit Microsoft store and order a.

    Except that it is impossible to find one on the Microsoft Store website. A search sorted by relevance shows several pages of results, but stops to those connected Xbox without a power supply, appearing never to return.

    So where/how in fact buy a replacement power supply, please?

    Hello

    This info you have posted has been extremely useful. I contacted the: contact Xbox 360 support as described above and crossed the shoots of boredom to verify that it is indeed, the power supply cord. Then, I could order one for about $35.00 with shipping and taxes, (since the site checked that our original warranty had already expired).

    Thank you :-)

  • Xbox 360 connects to Windows Media Center (Windows 7-64 bit)

    I can't get my Xbox to connect to Windows Media Center.  When I ran Vista it would work, but now that I am on Windows 7, 64-bit, it just does not connect.  The strange thing is that I'm able to share media from my PC to the Xbox without fail.  In addition, Windows Media Center has detected the Xbox on the network.  But for some reason, the Xbox cannot find the Windows Media Center.  It makes no sense at all.  I even tried disabling the Windows Firewall to see if it would work, but it didn't.  There is no other firewall in my home network.  Help, please.

  • Mobile gamepad XBOX 360 not recognized when connected to a Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium computer USB ports

    Very well - so a few days ago (Saturday ~ 2) (25. 2012) I connected to my XBOX 360 (Wired) controller on my Toshiba Satellite L655 computer laptop with Windows 7 ~ Home Premium 64-Bit. To my surprise, a Notification bubble popped up from the taskbar, saying that the "unrecognized USB device. It has malfunctioned. "

    Naturally, I took, waited a few seconds, and then reconnect the USB key. The same message has popped up. Now, I was angry. Repeatedly, I took and reconnected it all a few seconds until that FINALLY the 4 green lights around the button Guide everything illuminated and then back except the one on the upper left, which was the way it should have been.
    I went to the control panel and clicked on the 360 controller to see if he had any input. Nope.
    I pulled out once more, has waited a while and plugged in. No, lucky. The same thing happened again. The Notification bubble came, all 4 green lights on and then all four of them died. I don't know what happened.
    When I plugged the controller to the laptop the FIRST FULL TIME, he installed all necessary drivers in less than a minute and I was on my way. Every time after that, I have taken the controller into the USB Port and began to play. Now all the time, that is to say that it cannot recognize the controller?
    I've tried everything, even a system restore. Nothing did. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for a few minutes, there was an entry of the controller, then he went just blank.
    I need this controller in order to play my racing games, seeing the keyboard control just aren't the best. I don't know what the problem is, but I wish I had a solution A.S.A.P. Please, Microsoft, please. Help me!
                                                                                                                            


    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.

    It has worked perfectly since then.
