Hi All,
I've got my Tivo working and everything is good other than pulling files
from Tivo to watch on my Vista Computer ... dag it!!!

Can anyone else watch Tivo programs on their Vista computers?

Thanks
Op
 
I can't get my media access key into the Tivo desktop software. I get
SharingKeyLib error: 5.

I can't see the Tivo programs from my Vista machine and Tivo can't see the
Vista computer either.

I've tried uninstalling the Tivo softare and reinstalling with the same
result.
 
Hey Tim,
Right click the tivo deskicon and then properties....
check the box that say run as admin.....
Then you can put the key in.

Hope that helps
Op ... let me know if you can download programs from tivo
 
Hey Tim,
I solved the Tivo Problem....
In another post I asked about the 4 color sheild....
the perosn told me to go into the control panel and turn if off I I wanted
to... I did and now I have all funcution on my tivo.... Yeah....

Turn off UAC ....
That shield represents that the program, Control Panel item, or setting is
under the control of User Account Control, or UAC for short.
 
Hey Op,

Thanks, that worked to let me put the key in. However, the only thing I can
do is look at the Tivo's from the computer to see what is recorded on them.
It lets me click on a program and click on transfer but nothing acutally
happens. I click on the button to check the transfer status and it says no
recordings are queued for transfer.

I also can see the Vista computer on the Tivo's but when I try to access
music or photos, it hangs with an error and then Tivo desktop on the Vista
machine terminates. I've even tried running it in compatibility mode. No
luck.

Surely there are more Tivo users out there with problems but I don't find
much discussion about it. MS must really want us to use Media Extenders.
 
Hey Op,

YDM. Now I can transfer programs to my Vista machine from Tivo.

Still can't go the other way, though. The computer doesn't show up in the
Now Playing list on the Tivo and still get the same error when trying to
access music or photos from the computer to the Tivo.
 
Well, hmph. Now they all started working properly today. Go figure. I
changed the UAC yesterday and restarted everything but it didn't work.
Today, it all works. I suppose hating computers is part of the fun.

Thanks for the help, Op!
