When I click the Library tab of WPM11 to "Share Media" I get the following
message.

...Media sharing has been turned off because a required Windows setting or
component has changed. For additional assistance, click Web Help.

I done everything it has asked.  I don't where or what to check anymore.  I
just wan't to allow my Roku network music player.  It was all working
fine...and puff...no more!  I didn't install anything and I've check for
virus.  Can anyone please help?

In Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services, check you have
all of these services enabled and Started (and set to Start on boot) :

Windows media player network sharing services
SSDP Discovery Service
Universal Plug & Play device host
HTTP SSL service

Oh - BTW, any chance this PC has been updated from XP to Vista ?
Or was it a clean install of Vista...

HTH

But I'm running XP. I've Rollback WMP back to 9 that my computer came with and then reinstalled everything with no success. How do we fix this?

Simply go to

C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player

and deleting all the files there. Then start up Windows Media Player. Re-specify which folders you want to watch, and let it re-create your library. Then you can start sharing again, and re-register you Xbox 360 as a Media Center Extender.
