Media Center?

[FA430RGT]

I've tried it once before, done the screen on my 360 and get to download the program, open it and go through two slides, it does something then says something about an error and then gives up? Anyone had this problem and got around it/solved it?

i know this is gonna sound like a stupid question, but are you running a Windows media player computer?

I am running WMP on my computer. Got version 10.. Got the wireless thingy yesterday for the 360 so I'll try again later on.. Thanks for the help guys..

[Street Ryder]

no bother, hope you get it working

My connection is useless yet everything else works fine. It just means my videos over media center don't work.

Hang on, is your operating system Windows XP Media Center Edition?

 

If not, then that could be why....
