Fluke

Thanks for the reply Mike. I've followed the guide, But once it gets to the 3rd step "searching for extender" my Computer freezes. My firewall is configured correctly, and I've done all that I am supposed to. It has me baffled :confused:

I had the exact same problem about 6 months ago, and believe it or not the problem was something i'd never thought it would be - Graphics card. It was happening for about 4 months, pc restarting randomly. So I assumed it was overheating and done everything to confirm it. In the end I decided to try a different Graphics card, and to my suprise it finally stopped. So I assume now that the Graphics card, although has it's own fan and looked to be fully working, was over heating so the pc was shutting down to avoid possible hardware damage. It's worth a try to replace your existing one with a spare, probably best not to buy one incase it's not the solution in your case.

You could try Deleting the registry files. Also try deleting any files left in the install directory from previous attempts. Copy the files from cd to desktop and install from there. If you have any older versions of the game that could be interrupting the installation.

Hello, While trying to setup the Xbox with the Media center extender, It comes up on my computer 'setting up extender' then as soon as it says "downloading" on the Xbox screen it completely freezes my Pc forcing me to restart. I've heard of similar issues with XP but with the Xbox crashing and not the PC. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Luke.
