conneting my xbox with windows media center on a windows 7 pc

Hey there ComprisedPage32,

You'll need a Windows 7 PC running Media Center Edition in order to use Media Center with the console. More information on how to set that up

HERE.

Streaming to the PC became available with the release of Windows 10, however if you go to gamedvr.com you should be able to find and clips and screenshots for your account there as long as you were connected to the internet. You should be able to download
those to your laptop.

I had no luck either, but as you trying to use the PC as a media extender? If so, you might find some useful information here:

support.xbox.com/.../windows-media-center-on-xbox-360-windows-7

My PC is Windows 7 Home Edition, My Xbox and PC are both on a wireless connection, I managed to connect the Media Center just fine, The way I did this is following the step by step instructions on connecting them together. Please double check these instructions
and see if you missed a step or maybe by mistake did something wrong.



First to be on the safe side do this.

•Click Start, Windows Media Center.

•Select Task, Settings.

•Select Extender.

•Select your Xbox 360 Media Center Extender.

•Select Uninstall.

If you cant find the Xbox 360 Media Center Extender then you may not have it installed yet. After checking this step please try the following.



Gather Setup Key from Xbox 360

•Press the Media Center Start button on the remote or go to My Xbox, then select Windows Media Center.

•Advance through the on-screen instructions to obtain the 8-digit Media Center Setup Key. Write this key down.



Add Extender

•At the Windows Vista or Windows 7 Media Center PC, launch Windows Media Center. Select Start, Windows Media Center.

•Select Tasks, Add Extender.

•When prompted, provide the 8-digit setup key you received from your Xbox 360.

•Complete the Extender setup.



This is the exact way that I have installed the media center using a Wireless connection to both systems and having Windows 7. I am however not sure if network discovery has anything to do with this on your PC.

This page has the official documentation for setting up Xbox 360 for a Windows Media Center connection.
Let us know if you have questions about that process, or if there was a specific step you were failing at. It has links to other OS versions if you're not on Windows 7 on PC.
