xbox 360

Okay, I've done a lot of searching and can find almost no info regarding this... hopefully someone may have an idea. My Windows 7 machine has streamed music to my 360 flawlessly through the Xbox dashboard since day one... Now, out of the blue, my xbox constantly loses connectivity with my PC...

A couple of months ago, I wrote a piece about building a home theater PC using AMD’s Maui platform and the Windows 7 beta. The idea there was twofold. First, explore the HTPC hardware environment. It had literally been years since I’d made an effort to replace dedicated A/V...

When I first installed Windows 7 64-bit build 7100, it immediately detected all my network devices/computers. Over the past few days it has ceased to quit detecting the computers on my network and my PS3, but works fine, with no issues what so ever with my XBOX 360. Here is the hardware I'm...

Hey everyone :) I'm going to start off by saying that I know for a fact this is -not- a hardware issue as this worked prior to my install of Win7. :) Just bear that in mind is all. Since making the upgrade to the Win7 RC, things are good. Active internet, use of the system, even tweaks...

Hey everyone, I'm on the verge of tears over this! I recently installed 7 (x64) RC on my desktop which I had been using, among other things, to stream movies, music etc. to my XBox 360. Since installing 7 I've had no joy getting the XBox to even acknowledge the existence of the PC, either...

This is driving me crazy and I can't figure it out. Some Files will stream just fine namely the ones I transferred over from Vista, but anything new just wont stream. There is this little lock icon on the files and I can get rid of it I don't know how I did it, but that doesn't allow it to...

I have seen a 10% increase in RAM usage by turning on this feature. I wrote about it here when I first noticed it. Link Removed I now have it norrowed down to this process. I use it all the time to stream everything (all media) to my HDTV through my Xbox360. I noticed it when I first installed...

I just installed Windows 7 RC on my main computer. I use it to hold all my music and video files and serve them up to two Xbox360's and a laptop. Windows Media Player has been scanning and updating my library non-stop and eating up all my cpu. Wmpnetwk.exe is the culprit. It makes my computer...

I'm not sure if this thread is in right place, correct me if Im wrong. The problem is, that whenever I disconnect Xbox 360 controller or Gibson Explorer Controller for Guitar Hero i get Blue Screen of Death with information on IRQL_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL, or something like that. Anyone get over that...

My family's seen loads of reviews, and we still can't make up our minds :confused: The XBOX 360 ELITE has loads going for it. A 120 GB hard drive, loads of games, wireless, etc. It was a hands down must for the device- until we heard the thing is fragile and breaks easy. The Sony...

Hey everyone, I'm having a very strange problem that I can not for the life of me seem to figure out. I use my Xbox 360 hooked up to my monitor to play games. And I plug the audio into my computer to play it through there and out the speakers. I have an official microsoft converter that came...

Don't know if anyone can help but I installed the windows 7 beta and now my xbox 360 doesn't fit the media player to the TV size, bizarrely all the other xbox features are the right size so I can only assume it's something to do with the new version of media centre.

Has anyone had any luck with this using the xbox dashboard? I had no problems doing this using vista/media player11 but have not been able to get it to work since installing windows 7. I set up media sharing on my home network and configured media player 12 for my folders. It finds my folder...
