• Error in Windows Media Player, Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. You want to install the Player from the Microsoft Website

  I don't know how or why it happened, but one day to another, WMP won't open. I tried to open an MP3 file, and he says that WMP has not been correctly configured "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. Do you want to install the player from the Microsoft Website? ».

  I assumed that since I had to make some updates yesterday, that he was at fault, it had installed an update/new version of WMP and it was either buggy or doesn't work do not, so I went to the Windows updates, but no recent updates on the list had a remote connection with Windows Media Player.

  So, I accept the first proposal of the error message, and I'm headed to the Windows Media Player download page on the Microsoft Website. However, the version I should install (which was the one I already had) has Windows Media Player 12 for Windows 7. But this option is locked for me, and as I tried to install it, it says it is not compatible with my system. Not to mention, it's a whole package and not just the WMP installation.

  I tried everything and nothing seems to work. It won't even let me uninstall WMP because it won't let me open.

  My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. And the error messages that I get to try to launch any WMP feature (the tool, the installation program, no matter what), opens an error window stating that "there is a more recent version of Windows Media (12.0.7601.18150) player already installed on your computer. It is not possible to use and more old (12.0.7601.17514) installation package to install files or repair your current version of the reader. »

  Please, I ask for any intervention in this case.

  This arises from time to time, but I don't think that there is a difficulty of 100%.

  You can try (in no particular order)

  1. uninstall, reboot, reinstall WMP- http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/26107/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-player-in-windows-7-to-solve-problems/ if that doesn't help, try a SFC/scannow check - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
  2. There is this diagnostic tool - http://support2.microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/ that can help (from http://support2.microsoft.com/fixit/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0 )
  3. You could try a system restore to a date before the problem occurred to see if that helps - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/system-restore-faq#1TC=windows-7 and see if it gets a WMP work back
  4. Last resort, a repair install - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html
  5. Or just simply forget about WMP and try another party 3rd multimedia player that you can install and uninstall at will, as free VLC - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

  But it may be worth waiting a while to see if someone else has a better solution.

• No one knows what buttons to press so I can format and reinstall windows xp from scratch?

  Hi all.

  Hi all. No one knows what buttons to press so that I can format and reinstall windows xp from scratch on my lap top compaq pentium 4 from a CD-ROM.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  In your other thread, you said that your XP CD is damaged.

  The manufacturer normally gives you one way or the other to reinstall; not both.

  If you had a recovery partition, this is the information:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?CC=au&LC=en&docName=bph07145#N296

  1. Turn on the computer.
  2. Just after the first screen display (the display of the logo), press the F10 key repeatedly until a recovery menu appears.
  3. etc.

  See you soon.

  Here's the thing... I had the computer running Windows XP as a gift and it came not with a manual or a recovery disc or anything... just the computer.

  A click on that and you should see Recovery Manager

• I'll be able to install Windows 10 from scratch and use my Vista license to activate Windows 10?

  Original title: 10 free for Vista Windows?

  Hello

  I know that Windows 10 will be a free Windows 7 upgrade or 8/8.1 for the first year.  I run Vista Ultimate, and I would like to upgrade to Windows 10 as well.  I'm not interested in upgrading my Vista installation - it's almost 10 years and it's time to start over.  I'll be able to install Windows 10 from scratch and use my Vista license to activate Windows 10?  I totally understand don't want not to support an upgrade of a system of directly to 10 Microsoft Windows Vista, but Vista licenses will be able to 'upgrade' to Windows 10 licenses?  I have not found information on it online.  Everything speaks to us (ameioration) for Windows 7/8/8.1 for Windows 10.  It would be a shame for Microsoft to extend an olive branch to some legitimate users of Windows and others do not.

  Thank you

• Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. You want to install the Player from the Microsoft Web site?

  Running Windows 7 home Premiun 64 x. Click to open the program the message pop up "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. You want to install the Player from the Microsoft Web site? "that it takes to the site and there is no available media player Windows 7, installed WMP 11 does not work either. Tried to turn on and back on... did not work

  Do you remember the last time that your Media Player worked properly?  You can use the system restore (type it in the start menu to find) to go back on this point.  This restoration takes about 2 minutes and will not affect your files - no matter how far you go.  It simply restores your system files and settings.

• Workstation HP Z240 Tower: can I install Windows 7 from scratch?

  Greetings!

  The operating system on my computer is actually win 10 Pro demoted to Win 7 Pro. I want to know if I can install from scratch Windows 7 in my computer using the Windows 7 disc with the computer.

  I was told, the operating system is Windows 10 but it uses an interface of Windows 7. I don't understand the need for this complication. If you can just install Windows 7, so why use an interface? Maybe this computer only works with Windows 10?

  What are you trying to do, as you say that you are already using Windows 7?

  I do not understand your question about "interface."

  The GUI (graphical user Interface) for Windows 10 incorporates most of the features of the GUI for Windows 7 and also of the GUI Windows 8/8.1.

  See: http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/products/workstations/product-detail.html?oid=8354563#! = form tab

  Your computer was preinstalled with:

  Windows 7 Professional 64 (available through 10 Pro 64 Windows downgrade rights)

  and also comes with a license and support for Windows 10 Pro software.

  My recommendation: given that Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 7 in January 2020 - a short period of absence - install Windows 10 to get security-updates for your computer now and after January 2020.

  Suggestion: if you have a "spare" disk drive, disconnect your current hard drive, connect the 'spare' and try to use this support for Windows 7 to install Windows.  That should answer your question about "can I install...". ».

• Windows 8 from scratch - no product ID

  I just bought a floor model HP ENVY model 14-k027cl laptop running Windows 8 Club of Sam. There is nothing with the computer-same food was missing. When I turned on, he started on the activation screen, waiting for a connection to the internet. I could get it on the desk and connect it to my router, and is no longer asking me to activate. However, there is a "zz" on the user's computer and the computer name is "Sam."

  I thought it might be a good idea to just start all over again, given that I have not installed anything on this subject, but I have the following questions:

  Do I need some kind of activation key to reactivate after the start from scratch?

  Exactly how the computer to start from scratch?

  Thanks in advance.

  Under the application of PC settings, under Update and recovery, there is a "Reset PC" option that gives back to factory conditions.  This generally does not require a CD (there is a separate partition of the hard drive for the recovery image), but if this image does not exist, it will ask you for the CD.

  With regard to the activation key: it is built into the BIOS on computers that were shipped with Windows 8, no key is required. It is just detected during installation.

• Reinstall Windows 7 from scratch on Area 51 ALX

  Hi again all,

  So, I just bought a new area 51 R2 (not upwards and turns yet, but I'll be sure to change my signature to the new machine in due course!) and need to restore my machine with a fresh install of W7 before I sell it on.

  My machine was purchased as a refurb almost new that I got from the selling company to install W7 to before they shipped it. I don't have a recovery partition or DVD (although even if I did, they would put Vista on), so I need to start from scratch. I have a W7 ISO and obviously valid an OEM key. This works because I had to do an excessive installation of W7 a few weeks ago that things started to go wrong.

  I remember correctly see the instructions here on how to re - install from scratch, who went into the details on how to add drivers and in what order, but I can't seem to find it.

  Can someone point my in the right direction? Thank you! :)

• Software Numark Cue crash or gel to the top after I've upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista-Help!

  I do experience intermittent freezing or the software simply disappears into the Office of many laptops! Just recently went through an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7. If I try to solve the problem of compatibility with Vista, SP1 or SP2 settings it shows that the program is not compatible. Is there a problem known with Numark, regarding Windows 7 or 64-bit... or a patch that I can download... anyone knows? BTW, when the software has been reinstalled it could work properly for months and then the experience of these questions!

  Thank you, Kathy

  The Numark Support site, I found the following page where you can upgrade to the latest version: http://www.numark.com/cueupdate

• I have Windows Vista and you need to install Windows XP Home Edition. Vista doesn't let me. What can I do? I need XP for my Quick Books program in order to make books. Please help me.

  This computer was given to me by my kids.  I had with Windows Vista already installed.  I also want to install Windows XP to my Quick Books program.  Vista will not let me install XP.  Can you help me?

  Hello

  You don't say how you are trying to install XP and if the manufacturer of your computer has XP drivers available for this purpose to activate XP to be installed and run successfully on this subject.

  You will need to go to their website where there should be a section to see if they have XP drivers for your model computer.

  If they have XP drivers available for it, follow the instructions in these links provided in its response to dual boot Vista and XP:

  http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm

  http://www.syschat.com/dual-boot-Vista-XP-Vista-already-1946.html

  I prefer the Instructions in the second link.

  Here's another consideration on the use of the XP Compatibility Mode in Vista for QuickBooks, but as I don't use QuickBooks, you will need to request support QuickBooks if it would work in this way.
