When I set up my XBox 360 as a Windows Media Extender although I can see all the media I have on my Windows Vista PC it is excruciatingly slow to move between albums etc
Is there anything I can do to improve this or is it just because of the number of media files I have – about 5GB?
Cheers

By any chance, is your PC on a wireless connection? I have that setup and Media Center gives me exactly the same problem. When I actually get an audio or video file running it streams fine, but choosing menu items is agonizingly slow--it can take 30 seconds or more just to move from one menu item to another. It's a commonly reported issue.
Microsoft recommends connecting the PC directly to the router, but they say that the performance issues occur if both devices are wireless, and my 360 is wired directly to the router.
