I've been running Media Center through my Xbox360 for a while now using XP's
version of Media Center. I recently installed Vista and went to go set up
the connection but am getting an error on the xbox after initial connection
that states as follows.

"Connection Terminated. The xbox 360 has been disconnected because and
application has launched UI unexpectedly. Would you like to reconnect?"

It goes through its connecting phase and sometimes gives that message right
away, sometimes 10-20 seconds after being connected.

The only firewall I'm running is windows. I've closed all other programs.
I don't have anything else installed on this machine other than NAV and MS
Office.

The Event log gives the coordinating message every time I'm tring to connect.

"An unauthorized window was detected while running the Windows Media Center
Experience, 'Microsoft Windows', with file name ''."

doesn't help much that it doesn't say what file name it is. Any help?!

Which build of Vista are you running? Assuming it's not RTM (build 6000), do
the MCE functions work on the Vista box? If not, it's almost certainly
related to the expiring decoders mentioned in other threads.

Yes its build 6000 and yes all the other features work fine on the actual PC
itself.

I'm going to see about maybe installing it on another box and seeing if it
works. But please any other suggestions are more than welcome.
