Well I've tried numous things and its still yellow. The only time it turns green is if I set it to manual and just stop the service. But then something triggers it and it starts running again even though its set to manual. And since I stream to my HP MediaSmart TV and it sees both, the TV shows duplicates. Now I can tell the TV to ignore WMC but whenever the TV is turned off and then turned back on to watch, the TV reconnects to WMC. So I guess I have to either live with the yellow or unistall PVConnect which I dont want too.

Knock on wood. I think its finally staying green. What I did was I went into settings 1st and turned off sharing media. Then I manually stop WMC service. Then I disabled WMC service altogether. Now dont get me wrong I tried all these things numorus times but never in this particular sequence. So far its staying green. Now I have been messing with this remotely from work so hopefully when I get home its still green.

Nope, its back to yellow again. I give up. I guess yellow is not a bad color anyway. :(

This is kind of a huge undertaking for such a little issue but how about a recovery then reinstall the updates? that way you dont lose any personal data. I installed PP1 then the HP one because I was under the impression it had the new connector and wanted to make sure that went in last. have you rebooted since you made the changes?

So what are the differences between PVConnect and Windows Media Streaming? I really don't notice anything different.

Remoted in and turned off the Media Connect in process. Now I get yellow icon like I've read about here.

How do I correct it. Using PVConnect and would rather not have two servers showing up on my devices.

Thanks.

PS. Please be detailed as possible with explanations as I'm a newbie at alot of this...

Thanks again.

Bump, anybody figure out how to get this fixed or work around.
I want twonkey to stream, don't need the collector or Windows Media Connect Service running.

But have the yellow icon.
