Why do I get an Error 1068 when I try to share my media in WMP11 in WXP pro sp2?

Answer 1

the solution to my system's error 1068 was starting the Windows UPnP services.

I found the answer at the following PS3 forum:

ok here is the SOLUTION!!! after hours and hours of hacking..

Start / Run... type: services.msc then OK

Check this 3 services (it's A MUST if you want to detect your device - PS3).

SSDP Discovery Service <<<<< Start this one first Make and make it Automatic (right click properties).already enabled, switched to automatic

Universal Plug and Play Device Host << then this one same as one above already enabled, switched to automatic

Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service <<< then this one... will not stay started, it starts and then it says it had to stop. switched to automatic

if you get any errors like 1068 -79.. etc simple Google errors and you will find easy solution.

i got error 1068 that means you need to have SSDP Discovery Service running before starting Universal Plug and Play Device Host

after that use that simple 5/6 step procedure and R'n'R that's it!!!

PS. i have no idea why this services ware DISABLED on my PC.
