Hello my fiance recently bought my a Xbox 360 Slim. I setup the windows media center extender and it works fine. But my issue is with my Computer. My proccessor is maxxing out whenever the process for the Media Center Network is running. The only solution i have found is to end the process manually. But it will randomly re open the process on it own and cause my proccessor to max out and use about 3/4ths of my RAM. It still re opens the process even when my 360 is shutdown and media center is not be used on the PC

From what i can tell other then the WMPNetwork process when it is running my ram is pretty well under control... I tend to close down everything except what im using and i stay below 20-30% Ram usage from just Win 7 64Bit. This screen shot is taken while the WMPNetwork process is closed.
Also I found another temporary solution. The process WMPNetwork is actually a "service" and at the moment I have prevent the service from be able to load by disabling it. But this forces me to have to go into services whenever I want to stream video to my 360. While steaming video i aboviously expect my PC to perform badly. But even when its not steaming and the WMPNetwork is loaded it performs badly this is also with my 360 shutdown.

Hi and welcome

Well you are thin on RAM. 64bit needs just for itself 2gigs leaving only one for all else (including cache, etc). Can you go into task manager and look in the performance tab. Click on top of the ram column to find out which apps are using what, make a snapshot of it and upload it to us>

If it is the WMPNetw service let us know how much ram it is using


thanks in advance
