• Shortcut keys for media player on my satellite configuration

  I have a satellite with the buttons of soft touch media players. All the buttons work for the track selection and the launching of Media player, but the mute button actually launches Internet Explorer rather than mute.

  No idea how can I fix?

  Thanks in advance

  The "Controls Button from TOSHIBA" utility allows you to modify the application to launch these buttons.

  Look in Toshiba Assist under the Optimize section.

  (this is for XP, it may be different in Vista, take a look in the start menu-> programs-> TOSHIBA)

• The xbox 360 Media Player no longer plays music after that I upgraded my CPU. Error message: media sharing service has been terminated

  Original title: the xbox 360 Media Player plays more music after I upgraded my CPU

  I have Vista 64 SP2.  The service runs for 5 seconds and then I get the message that she stopped. He was works well for years (my Xbox 360 sharing), I'm guessing he stopped a few weeks ago after I put in a slightly faster processor. I watched a some tech posted and tried to run the program which seeks the corrupted system files, but the only files that it could not pay had to do with the sidebar Windows. I have removed and put back my media extender, I thought that it worked because I've seen (from my xbox) miniature images, videos and music counting upward, as they have been added and I could see them. But if I take one he freezes for a few seconds and then says the media sharing service took end (or something like that). Then, I go to my PC and see that it stops. I can restart, but it only lasts for 5 to 10 seconds.

  I also say a post about deleting files in C:\Program Data\Microsoft\DRM, but I have all the files in there. Just a server folder empty.

• adding new files or remove the old Windows Media Player files. (Vista)

  Since June 2010, I was not able to add new files or remove the old Windows Media Player files.  I can click on a new file and play using WMP or add to a playlist that is currently playing, but it does not recognize that it was added after as I close the program and re-open it.  Or I can delete the files that no longer exist on my computer but WMP always has them as my files.  When I click on add new media, it recognizes the right amount of files I would be adding, says to add them and then nothing is there.

  Your media library has probably been corrupted. To reset, follow the instructions for WMP 11 Vista at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary . Note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too. Tim Baets
