Discussion in 'Operating Systems' started by Entropism, Aug 9, 2013. Entropism Senior member Joined: Sep 2, 2002 Messages: 232 Likes Received: 0 Up until recently, I've had a home network set up between my desktop, 2 laptops, and a WD Live+ box with an external HDD hooked up to it. I was able to use my desktop to move files over the network directly to that external, so I can watch them on my TV. And then, I reinstalled windows... Now, I'm trying to get everything set up again, and googling told me to activate streaming through WMP. When I try, it says that "media streaming cannot turn on" and directs me to services.msc.

Still can't seem to get streaming activated on the desktop though, not sure why. I'd rather not reinstall windows (again), but as a last resort I guess I'd have to. Anyone have any suggestions, or need further info? __________________ #1 Entropism, Aug 9, 2013 amenx Golden Member Joined: Dec 17, 2004 Messages: 1,722 Likes Received: 6 Did you go to the advanced sharing settings in the Network and Sharing applet in CP?

I'm assuming the windows 8 sharing features are similar to win 7, hence the above suggestion. #2 amenx, Aug 9, 2013 Entropism Senior member Joined: Sep 2, 2002 Messages: 232 Likes Received: 0 Yessir, one of the first things I did. For some reason, it seems like it's blocked by a windows service. I tried doing a selective startup, and it was still blocked when I disabled 3rd party startup items, but when I disabled
