WMP had been working properly until recent installation of WOW music download program. While browsing the web can not play .mpg or .mpeg files, options I get are to save to computer or cancel. I did remove the WOW program, but when I try to play mpegs I now get message saying IE cannot open (standard broken internet connection message). I have checked and made sure WMP was the default...

I burned my home video onto a DVD using my DVD player/recorder. I can play it with QuickPlay on my computer, but can't upload it to my computer. I want to make a copy of it, but when I open the disc drive where the disc is, it shows empty. But it is not empty, and I can see it playing with QuickPlay. Do I need another software program to view the data on the disc?

I created a small video using Windows Movie Maker. I got an iPhone the other day and installed iTunes. After installing iTunes and the recent round of Windows updates (Vista), the video I created does not play smoothly. It is jerky and slow and actually only plays the first few seconds (Media Player Classic). When I try and play the video in Windows Media Player it doesn't play at all. ...

I have some pics in my Windows Photo Gallery that I need to delete. Every time I click on them, (right click or left click) it gives me the message "The files you have selected might be read-only or in a location that is unavailable." It won't let me go to the properties of these pics, and at one time when it would, I followed all the instructions on the help menu as to how to change a...

I just got a new PC with Vista Ultimate. I believe I have narrowed it down to WMP being corrupted because I have copied all the IE settings from another PC where everything works fine. When I try to play XM satellite radio over the web, the player stalls. On the other PC with the same settings, it works fine. When I try to use Yahoo Music Jukebox, it keeps requesting the track and bounces...

I'm trying to add and use as my default the import wizard from Microsoft Digital Image 2006 to Pictures Autoplay dropdown list...is this possible and can you provide instructions? I'm not pleased with using the available options, since I prefer to name photos on the import (ie Thanksgiving 1, Thanksgiving 2, etc...). Also, I like the 'delete after import' feature... Thank you in advance.

This is really frustrating. I am just trying to open large scanned TIF documents. My old system just pulled up Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and it was easy. Now, with my new Vista Premium Home, I don't even appear to have Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. And, neither photo gallery, nor paint, nor one other provided program can pull things up. Photo gallery actually pulls parts of more than...

Vista no longer has the filmstrip option like XP did. I recall some asking here or maybe it was in another group or forum. Anyhow for those interested in regaining that option you can if you download XnView, one of my favorite thumbnailer/viewer/players/converter applications. The option to make a film strip is under Tools... create a strip which can be any folder either vertically or...

I would like to do this setup in the new house if it would work. It looks like I can have Vista Media Center PC on a workstation and up to four Vista-compatible extenders hooked up to TVs. I would especially like to view streaming online/instant movies from Netflix on the TV in the other room. How does recording of cable TV work with media center PC vs Tivo? I have no experience with...

I just purchased a new Gateway comptr a few months ago. It came with Windows Vista Home Premium installed on it. In the Windows DVD Maker program, I can't find anywhere, not even in Help and Support, where it tells me how many pictures I can have in a slide show. Do you know the maximum pictures I can have in a slide show? My next question is how do I add a "Title" at the beginning of my...

We have windows vista home premium and we have a microsoft "PBDS DVD+ DS-8W 1p ATA Device" as our DVD/CD-Rom driver. When I'm watching a DVD (not one we've burned, just one we've rented) and I stop the DVD, then try to resume the movie, the computer gets hung up (the little icon just spins and spins and the drive doesn't even make peep). When I try to push stop, nothing happens, the icon...

I purchased my computer with a Vista Ultimate operating system, but made the mistake of getting the 64bit version. The reason it was a mistake was the compatability issues I've been having. First my video camera's software is not compatible and then I purchased a MIDI controller that it turns out is not compatible with the 64bit system. My question is, can I some how switch my system to a...

Hello everyone. I read an article somewhere on the mircrosoft website that transferring TV shows to a portable player was all automatic through Media Center. I have Vista Home Premium and a Creative Zen Vision M, everytime I try to sync TV shows to the zen, it just says there's an error and stops. It doesn't get far into the proccss either, maybe 10, 15 seconds. The exact same thing happens...

for info, the Rotate 90 and 270 effects in XP turn a clip clockwise.... in Vista the same effects turn it counter-clockwise. if you rely on the rotate effect to change lots of still pix, and bring the project into Vista for editing/rendering/DVD making, your rotated pix will be upside down unless you delete the effects and reapply them. -- website references are to www.papajohn.org PapaJohn
