Unable to enable sharing with WMP11
Andrew 05.07.2007 15:24:00
I cannot get Windows Media Player to allow UPNP sharing. I access the Media
Sharing tab from the library drop down, I tick "share my media", press OK and
the OK box greys out for about 30 seconds and then comes back full colour,
having given no error message. Sharing is not enabled, I am at the same
screen!

I have 2 laptops and both do the same thing. Surely I can't be the only
person in the world with this problem? I cant find anything on the Microsoft
help, nor anywhere else on the web. I have the latest WM11 version running
under XP SP2.

Any ideas anyone? Please?

I'm about out of ideas, but trust me you're not the only one whose WMP11 has
been doing this, so much for user-friendliness.

I am having exactley the same behavior on my computer. I have rolled back to
version 10, reinstalled version 11--no help.
