    Whenever I try to open a Windows Media Center video file with xBox 360, a message pops-up saying " VIDEO ERROR - Files needed to display video are not installed or not working correctly. Please restart Media Center and/or restart the computer." I did restart the computer, and installed my graphics drivers. It still does not work. What should I do?

    What’s the video file format?

    When I used the Online Media feature of Media Center Extender, I received an error message: "Video Error" or returns to the Gallery

    Tried that.  The only difference is that I get a blank screen now.  I had this problem before and I made some change to the TCPIP settings and I don't recall exactly what I did.  I get the listings of videos and Recorded Tv on the xBox 360 but when I select one to play I get the Video Error.  Any further suggestion will be appreciated.  I'm running Win 7Pro.  I can play selections fine from my PC. Thanks.
