Media Center can not get netflix to register
WMC will not show Netflix in the Movies section. I did the whole Guide Update thing and get the error message "The guid could not be downloaded. For more information, right click the Windows Media Center system tray icon and open the Windiws Mecia Center Update Log" (First off, dispite I selected that Mecia Center Icon display and give notifications, it only appears there for a short time and after the error messages, it disapears, Secondly there is no option when it is righclicked to view anything muchless the Upedate log.) I have downloaded and run the file "NetflixInWindowsMediaCenter" in an attempt to force the Netflix feature. That did not work either. I set the start and stop[ time for automatic Download Options to 6AM - 6PM. I verified the date and time and Time Zone locations were accurate and correct. I have uninstalled Media Center and reinstalled it using the 'appqiz.cpl' Again no changes. Using 'eventvwr' I coppied the following log. Unless I missed something the reason give for not being able to perform the up date is in the next to last line "7:18:22 AM - Errors during the last update." which is totally not helpful. My hard drive failed and this is a fresh install of Win 7. I had the same issue in the previous installation but it seemed to fix itself over time. I am using only the windows fire wall and the MS Security Essentials. I really want to use Netflix in Media Center but am pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it will not work. I could use some help here. Additional Information: There is not a TV tuner install. I am running MS Starlight. I do have Steam running on the system for my games. The system has been fulluy updated includding the new Service Pack 1 for Win7. Using 32 bit Operating system but will be reinstalling the OS when my HD that is RMA'ed is returned and plan on using the 64 bit OS.
