It is getting frustrating for only wanting something that should be so incredibly simple. Everything seems to be configured right I just want to stream media to an xbox 360. If anyone has some suggestions before I toss the xp and go buy vista I would love to hear them. This is one of the events logged that I believe is related but not as a direct result I will add to this as I get the time The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( .NET Runtime ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Shim database version C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 doesn't have a matching runtime directory.
