There is something really wrong with my Windows Media Player
And I think it has something to do with my media sharing but I can't pinpoint it.

I use WMP to stream movies/music to my xbox every hour of the day it seems (Not really, but, you know) so this is really killing me.

Yesterday, I opened WMP and nothing showed up. None of my thousands of music files would be be recognized. So I was like "WTF?" and went into the "add to library" tab and none of my folders were there. Another "WTF" moment. So I went to media sharing and it won't recognize my XBox.

If I tried to click "properties" in the media sharing tab, it would instantly freeze up on me. Now, however, it gives me a messege, "Media sharing has been turned off because a required Windows setting or component has changed. For additional assistance, click Web Help."

I click web help, do everything it tells me, and still nothing. I've reinstalled twice. Nothing.

Yeah, that worked.

But will it be a temporary fix or permanent?

How far back was your restore point?

What I do in these situations is figure out what changes/new programs I made since the last restore point was created and not repeat it or do each step one at a time to see if the problem recurs. If it does I generally unistall the program or amend the change I made.

If you DON'T repeat what caused the problem for you then the fix should be permanent.

While on the subject of Retsore Points, I always create one now manually before I do anything major or something I'm unsure of.

You also probably don't need all the MB's of restore points that Windows has created over the past XX months/years so you can clear out a heap of old ones and free up some space if it's an issue for anyone.

You can build your own DIVX Ondemand with it and USB Hard Drives. With about 1100-1300 movies and about 2600x1 hour TV shows per TB (their cheap now, and you can re-organize the folders) one or two is all you'll need, not to mention all the space you have in the harddrives in the computers in your house. Even put the software on cheaper computers and leave them on(just turn of the monitor to save power) and hook it up to the router for it's hard drive space.

I brought up the xbox upstairs for the kids to play it and they ended up watching old batman episodes I downloaded to burn for a buddy, and kept and put them on my list(the 90's animated series) wirelessly all the way from the router downstairs. When it picked it up they pressed the middle button and picked it up and figured out how to watch a few episodes of batman(until they found the supergirl, which I ended up getting them in DVD)

even just all the harddrives in the house and 1 USB Terabyte external hooked up to one of them, with movies on DVD for permanite back up. To not fuck up my Xbox when I use it as a dvd player or Divx player, I put the disk in the computer nrct to it and carry it over threw the router, its cheaper to replace a PC Disk drive than the one from my 360...

So it started up again. Same problem.

I haven't changed/added any new programs from my restore point either.

I mean I could just go to an older point but eventually I'll wind up where I am now. I have no idea why it does this.

And I'm not using whatever the fuck that guy is talking about.

I tried copying 1 single movie (700mb) onto my USB HDD to use on my 360, but for some reason it went really slow and said 7 hours remaining. I dunno why it went so slow. I formatted it and probably gonna sell it now.

Media player was being a bastard so I started streaming through a program called tversity and haven't looked back since.

www.tversity.com ( maybe haven't actually checked the url so fuck off ) also a guide on there on how to set up everything for it. Fantastic bit of kit

No, i don't want to download a new program. I want this one to work. WMP works flawlessly besides this one little hiccup.
