I have 2 PC installed with Windows 7 and Media Player 12. I would like to use Play To feature on both PC connected via LAN.

Both PC (A and B) run media player in standard user account. I able to turn on media streaming option in PC A (with privilege access prompt) without any problem. However, PC B also prompt privilege access but no response after enter administrator password. Both PC follow same configuration steps.

I may use "play to" PC A (in standard user account) from other PC without any problem. But I can't "play to" PC B in standard user account. I can only run media player in administrator account for "play to" to function.

I have tried uninstall and reinstall media player via "Programs and Features" in control panel on PC B. However, it doesn't work too.

Does anyone has similar experience as me failing to turn on media streaming that running Windows media player in standard user account?
