I am using a new feature of WMP11 "Media Sharing" to connect my XBOX
360 and my primary PC. Essentially it works "almost" perfectly but...

I can stream video, I can access and play all the MP3s on my primary PC
via the XBOX 360 but I cannot access the pictures! It is not critical
but it just annoys me when things don't work like they are supposed to.
The songs are under MY MUSIC (on the PC) and the Pictures are under
MY PICTURES (on the PC). Under Media Sharing, there is a checkmark
besides music, pictures and videos. So technically, I should have
access to everything not just Songs and Videos. Any idea why I would
get songs and videos but not pictures? I have tried to disable and
re-enabled Media Sharing but I am running out of things to try. Any
suggestions, solutions, etc?

TIA. Andre

Have you gone to the 360's screen to import media and selected the My
Pictures directory? Does the PC have that directory shared for everyone?
