Vista Media Center problems

I tired finding the so called vista media group but no search could
find anything. windows.vista.music_pictures_video.

My Vista PC works fine and I am very happy with vista. However my
media center does not work properly.
The issue is that I can see and play mpeg files(only have a few music
vids uder this file type) but I cannot see or
play any avi or wmv video files. I can ony see their parent folder no
thumbnail for the video file.

This happens on the xbox 360 aswell when i try to connect it to my pc.
I have since gone back to connecting my xbox to my laptop which has
media center 2005 and I can play videos with it np. I can play all
files fine under media player 11 so I don't thin it is a codec issue
as I have tried a few codecs.

So it must be a security issue but I cannot find what. I have allowed
all users to read, execute, list folder contents. Don't know what else
to do. It is jsut strnage that mpeg videos can found and played but
wmv or avi's can't.

I have read a few psots where others have had a similar problem has
anyone fixed it?

The other newsgroup is:

microsoft.public.windows.vista.music_pictures_video

I have the business version which doesn't include media center so
don't know what your problem is.
