auto-play of Windows Xp professional does not not despite the setting procedure

whenever a CD/DVD is inserted into the drive it does not automatically play despite the settings

Hello R Joseph,

Autorun/Autoplay has probably been disabled in the registry. I admit that it is a PIN, but all versions of Windows have the bad habit of do it without anybody even changes to the registry.

Take a look at this link from my Web site and see if it corrects the problem.

  • Windows Media Player does not recognize the new downloaded songs

    I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: race AY014AA-ABA, Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    I just found out that Windows Media Player does not recognize the songs, I recently downloaded from Wal-Mart music download Site.  The songs can be seen in the music library in a folder called 'Downloads' and I can open each song and he will play when double-clicked.  The problem is that I can't create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the reading list, because the songs are not listed in the Media Library Player any hot it is sorted (artist, Album, Genre, etc.).

    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Problem solved!

    Went to: start == > Control Panel == > troubleshooting == > view all == > and ran troubleshooting on the library and the settings of WMP.

    Convenience store detected library corrupt and "in media files appear in the WMP library.  Then ran convenience store on WMP settings which reset OMP to default settings.  After that, everything worked as announced.

    Thanks to Big_Dave for putting me on the right track.

  • Windows Media Player does not support the codec used to compress the file.

    I can't do some of my videos to play it goes on to say that Windows media player does not support the codec used to compress the file. How can I fix?

    Hello

    What is the file format of the video files you are trying to play in Windows Media Player?

    Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

     

    You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

    (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

    (b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

    Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

    Please see the bottom of the article that gives you information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

    If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.

    WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

  • update of sql server 2005 service pack 3 error code 6D9E Windows update security does not accept the update

    update of sql server 2005 service pack 3 error code 6D9E Windows update security does not accept the update

    Hey lasdj,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!

    If you receive Windows Update error 6d9e while installing SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 by using Windows Update, it means that the installation folders and directories are compressed or encrypted.

    To fix this problem, make sure the folder locations where you are installing the service pack to aren't compressed or encrypted, or specify a different folder and then run Windows Update again.

    Therefore, remove the compression of the DATA directory and run together to the top again.

    Remove compression from the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server folder and see if you are able to install the updates without any problem.

    See the links below for more details:

  • Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11

    Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11, version 12 is sucks.

    Hello, Simone

    I'll assume you're on Windows 7. Windows Media Player 12 is not supported on Windows Vista or XP and as such, you will need to go back to Windows Media Player 11.

    You can check the permissions in the registry to ensure that it is able to record information.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    Open the registry editor by clicking on start, type regedit.exe in the search box and press on enter, you may be prompted to continue.

    In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, MediaPlayer, then Preferences.

    It should be an element named LastLocation_26, right-click on it and select Rename, and rename it to old LastLocation_26.

    Leave the open registry editor and open Media Player, then move it to your favorite place and close Media Player.

    In the registry editor, press F5 on your keyboard and check if LastLocation_26 has been recreated.

    If this is not the case, there is probably a permissions problem.

    If so, the location must be registered.

    Let us know.

    This article updated fingers MS12-060, specifically KB 2687441, as the culprit.

    It turned out that ActiveX controls on the form (specifically the Microsoft Common Controls 6.0 Toolbar), caused the failure.

    The solution was simple: on a patched machine, open each form with an ActiveX control in design mode, compile and save it. It worked for me. Ignore the details of the solution that I wrote in the previous post!
