Okay, i'll try to make this short. I use my xbox 360 to connect to my pc to share videos/pictures/ media center, but since august 1, i couldn't get it to work. At first, I'd get a message that upnpdevicehost not working, then eventually it would go through the rounds of ssdp, fdrespub. network store interface, etc. Supposedly they are all connected and dependant on each other, but after many searches online and all, i noticed two things:
1) this usually pops up when i open media player 11. It says media sharing disabled, blah blah blah. So i turned it off and deleted the extender on media center.
2) the little icon on the corner that usually shows the "two" computers have a connection with a little cd logo, had a big red "x", showing like there is no internet connection
Funny thing is, that i can connect to the internet and play on my xbox and all. Everything is fine with the exception of media sharing and looking closely when the messages pop up that so and so is not working it all points to one thing:
DAMAGED FILE: UPNPHOST.DLL
So is this easily fixed? Do i just download a new file? Any suggestions?
You may be able to extract a clean copy from your Windows installation files. Most name brand PC's have these files in C:\I386 if you are using Windows XP.
Thanks, but i have Vista Home Premium. So i don't have I386 and following the second advice, the general tab didn't have that option either. I'll try to scroll down the list the second poster gave me, but would it matter that i have Vista?
At the bottom of this page is some useful information. I don't think the top portion is applicable to you situation. Start at Resolution Steps and note that the command vista expand is not the same as the expand command from earlier versions of Windows. (MS is constantly screwing over it's own customers). You might try searching for vista expand in Windows Help.
1) Since my mother and i got the exact same all-in-one cpu, could i just copy the file from her computer and install it on mine? YOu lost me in the hotfix.exe page. How do i get there?
2) this problem was most likely caused by what? It;s not a virus, right?
