I am having some trouble with the Vista Beta I bought. I am using it in a
Media Center fashion and I was trying to hook up my XBOX (Original) Media
center extender with vista. ( I had it originally working with Media Center
2005). When I launch the media center extender connect program within MC
Vista. It says it does not see the XBOX. My Xbox is turned and is at the
screen where you type in the number to attach it. Any Ideas? thanks for your
help

According to the release notes for 5456,

Xbox 360 as a Media Center Extender

Support for Xbox 360 as a Media Center extender is not included in this
Vista build. In order to continue using the Xbox 360 as a Media Center
Extender with Vista, please remain on Beta 2 (build 5384). Support for the
Xbox 360 as an Extender will be available in a future Vista build.

Are you running build 5456? If so you should be posting this to the
TechBeta newsgroups since those are the only people who have access to 5456.
The folks in this public beta are still running build 5384 and none too
happy about not having access to 5456.

Hi Rodney,

Sorry to have to say that Vista MCE does not work with the original Xbox. It
only works with the Xbox 360. I was in the same position myself and ended up
building a second computer out of spare parts for use with MCE 2005 and my
two Gen 1 Xbox's
