Hello chingy1788,

Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forums.  I drop may be hung.  I suggest to restart your computer and try again.  If that doesn't work try to use the System File Checker.  To use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker.  To do this, follow these steps:

1. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, clickStart, click principally made programs, accessories, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

2. type the following command and press ENTER:

sfc/scannow

The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

Thank you for using answers Forum. Please let us know how it works.

    Movie Maker probably only supports unprotected WMA files.

    WMA files will be protected if they were torn apart by WMP with the copy protect music setting (Options of WMP - music Rip) turned on. For an unprotected WMA, you will need to re - rip track, after being assured that this setting is disabled.

  • Cannot add Windows Vista PC to Windows 2008 domain. Error message: an attempt to resolve the DNS of a domain controller in the domain being joined has failed...

    When you try to add a new computer Windows Vista (hqseven) to a Windows 2008 network, I get the following error message... "An attempt to resolve the DNS of a domain controller in the domain being joined has failed. Ensure that this client is set to reach a DNS server that can resolve DNS names in the target domain. "Last year, I added two XP, a Windows 7 and another Vista box to the field.  I don't know why I can't add my new Windows Vista computer.

    I am able to get on the internet with the Vista PC. I can RDP to the domain controller (hqserver64) or any client. (using the name of host or static IP)  I can also do a ping of the domain controller (DC) or any another computer on my network using the host name.

    After initial search for information, I found the following error message when you do a nslookup from my new vista box.

    Nslookup mydomainname
    Server: hqserver64.mydomainname.net

    Address: 192.168.0.99

    hqserver64.mydomainname.NET cannot find mydomainname: Server failed.

    I do not understand why I suddenly get these error messages when I was able to reach this area in the past.

  • Cannot add an attachment in Windows Mail

    original title: Windows Mail problem

    When you try to add attachments in Windows Mail, it gives me an error message "cannot find attachment", why

    How you try to add an attachment?  Try to compose a new message and then drag the file on top of the new message window to attach or use Insert | Attachment.  They both fail?  Make sure that your antivirus software is not interfereing.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    You could also try to compact and repair the database of WinMail to see if this has an effect (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).
