Hi,

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. I am trying to add my xbox 360 as an extender with no success because WMC keeps crashing. User Account Control and Windows Firewall, which are known to cause problems, have been disabled.

After entering the access code, I click some options and then click next and it should start connecting. However, the loading circle appears and eventually WMC crashes and restarts. There's no error message. It just freezes and crashes.

So then I decided to enable media sharing thru Windows Media Player 11. However, when I click on Media Sharing, the program freezes. No loading circle, just a frozen window. If I try to click on the window pane, Windows beeps. There is no error message and I have to open task manager to End the program (which is not responding.)

My guess is that these two problems are related. Any ideas on how to fix? I am sure it is not a firewall issue because I turned off the firewall and still encountered these errorrs.

Thanks in advance.
