Hey guys,

I'm just wondering if anybody else had the problem where the Netflix application refuses to work for them. The funny thing is that the same thing happened under Vista and 7 is supposed to be better than Vista :eek:...

I attached a picture of the error. If anybody has any idea how to get this thing to work, it would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advanced!

No software or hardware firewall (besides router I guess).

No antivirus (unless common sense is counted ;)

Im sorry that went right over my head. The service on your computer seems to be the problem not the connectivity issue I thought.

Can you type services.msc in search and look at the desciptions for the services. Netflix will have its own. You want to make sure it can be started and that it is in auto mode.

I have never used that app but its worth a shot

Let us know if it doesn't or if you need help

Weird, I don't have a Netflix service. Media Center installed the app so I don't know how I can uninstall it to reinstall it.

Even if media center installed it you still should be able to remove it in ADD/Remove control panel. If you cant, go to the directory where it is and see if there is an un-installer there

There doesn't seem to be a options panel for it. It's used to stream Netflix's instant watch library directly to media center so one doesn't have to use a web browser. It would be fantastic if it worked. *sigh*

sounds interesting. If it is important enough you could consider a clean re-install then insall the netflix app

I'm new here, but I have had this problem before in Win7 RC and Vista. I tried for hours and hours to no avail.

The problem? Netflix was updating the servers my account was on or something of the sort.

Make sure you can sign in to the site and watch something through instant play. It might be netflix instead of WMC.

I am having trouble even SEEING the Netflix app in my WMC.
I use Win7Pro, and I have the sinking feeling that because the Netflix site says "W7HP, and W7U" but skips over mentioning Pro, that it is unavailable...

Has anyone else confirmed this either way?

did you actually update to have it?

If not, go through tasks>settings>general>automatic update settings

then click scan now.

It should show up under internet tv and movies.

I cannot tell you how many times I had done that to have it still not show up.

I then re-ran the WMC setup and magically it appeared... so, who knows what was causing it to not show up... Maybe the "tubes" were clogged all weekend or something.
