I am trying to use windows media connect to connect to my Xbox 360, but when
i try to start it i always get an error. When i start my computer up it will
connect for a couple of seconds but then it disconnects and i get the error
again... The error i get is... "Folder sharing could not be started. For
details, use Event Viewer in Windows to check the log of system events."
When i go in to event viewer this is what it reads...
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7001
Date: 11/27/2005

Description:
The Windows Media Connect Service service depends on the Universal Plug and
Play Device Host service which failed to start because of the following
error:
The account specified for this service is different from the account
specified for other services running in the same process.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Anyone else getting this error? Any help would be great i have been going
nuts trying to figure out what is wrong with this.
 
I had the same problem and fixed it by doing the following:

Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services

In services find 'Universal Plug and Play Device Host' and set it to be started automatically. As soon as I did this the folders were shared and my PC could authorise and communicate with my XBOX360.

I hope that helps.
