This article discusses a Beta release of a Microsoft product. The information in this article is provided as-is and is subject to change without notice.
No formal product support is available from Microsoft for this Beta product. For information about how to obtain support for a Beta release, see the documentation that is included with the Beta product files, or check the Web location where you downloaded the release.When you install Microsoft Windows Live OneCare on a Windows Vista-based computer, you cannot connect to the Windows Media

ports.

- If you are prompted, enter the Administrator password, or click Allow.
- Select the Firewall tab, and then click Firewall connection tool.
- Click to select the Connect my Xbox 360 or Media Center Extender to my Media Center PC rule.
- Click OK on both of the windows to apply changes.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
