My Vista was doing it's normal updates and I looked at the Live Essentials and I said "What the heck, I'll try Them" I have not been able to use Windows Live Photo Gallery as of yet. When I want to open a picture, an error box comes up saying "An error is preventing the photo or video from being displayed." The version of this software is 2009 Bulid 14.0.8081.709. Any help with this would be...

I have recently upgraded to Vista Home Premium. For some reason, it now seems to be pot luck whether whether Windows Media Player will start or not. When it refuses to start I have tried everything down to double-clicking the wmplayer .exe file. Not a flicker and no error messages are displayed. When it does start I have full functionality until again, it refuses. I have tried after cold and...

I recently developed a problem with trying to play dvd's using either Media Player or Media Center in Vista beta 2. If I try to play them with Media Player, I get a "low memory" error. If I try it in Media Center, it does nothing at all. I must admit it has been a couple of weeks since the last time I tried to play a dvd, but up until today, I had no problems playing them. I tried restoring...

Not sure how much of this is true, but I believe most of it is, and even if only 1/4 is true, it's enough to make me think twice or even thrice about going anywhere near Vista for a long time yet... http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.txt Executive Summary ----------------- Windows Vista includes an extensive reworking of core OS elements in order

I wonder whether anything has change with drivers for Logitech QuickCam, since this post appeared in August? Do the vendors / producers of Logitech webcams do have drivers for Vista ready? Thanks =============== Try the XP drivers - that is how I use my Pro 4000. -- Richard Hay

I had some of my old family movie reels put onto DVDs. I read that they need to be re-burned every few years to keep them from deteriorating. True? When I look at them with Windows Explorer, there is a folder = VIDEO_TS, that contains files with extensions = BUP, IFO, VOB. Can I save them on my computer then later re-burn them to DVDs for storage?

When playing XM radio from within Vista Media Center, I select XM radio from selection screen, I log in, I see the channel lign up, I select my Xm channel, and it says it is playing. However, there is no audio. Everything else that used Video or Audio works correctly within Vista Media Center and Windows Media Player. Live TV, Recorded TV, CD's DVD's, online media all play with sound. It is...

I am trying to edit a video file as I have done hundreds of times before using movie maker, but I can't drag clips to the timeline/storyboard any more. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm new here and I hope someone can help. I lost the Sample Picture Yosemite Valley from my 64 bit Vista Home Premium. I checked this site plus many others without success. Could someone email me a copy or direct me to a site where I might download it. Any help would sure be appreciated. Thanks -- bdenegar

This file will open and play in MS Player 10 with XP, but not in version 11 with Vista. Gspot told me no codec was required, but this can't be the case. I get a black screen. I assume the audio works, but since these are silent files I only speculate on this since the time bar moves. Vista seems to be missing the ATI YUV9 codecs, but why are they there in version 10 and not 11? If this...

Anyone have any luck installing video codecs such as XVID, DIVX, etc., on Vista RC1? Similar to Media Center 2005, the codecs will install and operate fine under Media Player 11 from the normal shell, but are not recognized by media player within Media Center. This was a very frustrating issue with MCE 2005 (codecs not used universally by media player in and out of Media Center). Any...

When i have a folder of photos in an order i want and do a select all and rename the first pic to (1) why does vista take it upon itself to change the order and scramble the pics into some illogical order???!! SO if i had pics of a house being built one would be a concrete slab the next ends up being shingling the roof as pic two.... it doesnt make sense. I have been burning my pics onto a...

Hi: I'm getting error message C00D1236 with WMP 11. It never happened with previous versions. I cannot synch music to my iRiver. I don't have any hidden files checked. Thanks

I'm having a heck of a time trying to organize my music ever since I got a vista computer. I have an external hard drive with a lot of music on it, and also have been putting new music on it. When I try to change the track information (whether through explorer, winamp, or itunes) it won't let me do it on all files. For example: I have a folder containing an entire album, which I got from...

It does not play sound on in-built speaker and gives me "No Audio Output Device is Installed." message when you hover your mouse over the audio volume icon in system tray. When i right click on it and check Playback devices, it shows: "Speaker High Definition Audio Device Not plugged in" And its grayed out. But when i plug in my...

My first attempt at burning a DVD with DVD Maker revealed a number of issues. The project was to put 8 episodes of Molto Mario on a DVD. Each episode was contained in an .mpg file of about 0.5GB. The video files were downloaded from a DirecTV TiVo, and therefore have a non-standard resolution of 480x480. I have manually built a DVD with these same episodes, and it works just fine - but it...

I am having getting a "classic" problem of getting the microphone to playback instantly while I am recording. The recording itself works ok. A common solution for this problem seems to be SoundPlaybackSpeakersPropertiesLevelsunmute the appropriate input. However, the levels tab contains (on my computer) only the level adjustments for the speakers itself and nothing else.
