Win 7 Pro & xbox.. Connects & freezes
I have seen a few posts with my problem but no solution except for changing the ram size settings in msconfig => boot which does not apply to me as my rig has 3gb ram.
I am currently dual booting between vista & win 7 pro. I have spent the last couple of weeks tweaking win 7 getting ready to start moving partitions and going to 7 full time.
My last task before passing the point of no return was setting up the extenders with 7.
I have 3 extenders... 1 xbox 360, & 2 linksys dma 2100's.
The dma's have no problem.. The 360, launches, I get the main welcome screen. The cursor is highlighting "recorded tv", the shadow around the recorded TV box moves, all it good. Except for the fact that that is all. The 360 does not respond to any remotes to navigate the screens.. The network as very busy when this happens as well as the cpu load spikes very high on both cores when this happens. I leave it alone for several minutes thinking that data is being transfered. Once the network activity stops, it is still unresponsive.
Sometimes, launching the dashboard (which terminates the extender session) and launching the extender again will allow it to now connect and work... sometimes not. More "not" than work. 5% works, 95% does not..
I have done everything I can think of.. I have removed the extender from the setup, installed it again, etc.. I have completely disabled and uninstalled my av & fw software (norton 360 V4) with no positive effect.
I boot the rig back to vista and the xbox has no problem at all (you need to set it up again for the vista mcpc which is a pita). I also have the same av & firewall software running on the vista setup. I have ruled out norton 360 as the cause. As I said, I have completely removed the software on the 7 setup and disabled the windows firewall completely.
I have been back & forth.. xbox has no problem in vista. The xbox is kicking my a$$ in 7..
I need some help.. I have not found a solution.. I will be very greatful for any suggestions or a known solution.
