Cannot get the WMC to open.

Im getting the error "Windows cannot open this program because it was prevented by a policy of restricting software." any when I try to open the Media Center. I have no icon on the start menu for WMC and had to find the eshell file in the ehome folder. What I missing to do is watch TV cable on my computer. I have a pci tv card already installed. If there is another way to do this without WMC I'd like to hear about it.

Hi Passan,

You can use the following steps to enable Windows Media Center in the Set Program Access and Computer Defaults in Control Panel if it is currently disabled:

  1. Click the start menu and choose default programs
  2. Click the item named Set Program Access and Computer Defaults
  3. Choose the custom configuration
  4. The point to choose a default media player , make sure the box to the right of the element of Windows Media Center that is labeled to enable access to this program is checked

Note: you do not have to select the option button to the left of Windows Media Center to the media player by default if you do not, but the checkbox must be checked or Windows Media Center refuses to run on your system.

You can also try RequiemDK suggestion that helped some.

  • I'm in the Mexico and can browse the web but cannot get the roadrunner site to open the webmail server to allow access to e-mail.

    I'm in the Mexico and can browse the web but cannot get the roadrunner site to open the webmail server to allow access to e-mail. I worked around it through another proxy server, but navigation is a pain. does anyone know a solution to this problem? Roadrunner denies that it doesn't clog and so did the modem service here which is telmex?

    [moved]

    I had the same problem 2 weeks while in the Mexico.  I contacted the support TWC and the person to whom I spoke said he had to unlock something.  When he did, all my mail came in Outlook in the spam folder.  It was OK because I got my mail.

    I moved to a different House and now have the same problem again.  I've contacted support TWC and not had much luck. The second level support person and I spent more than an hour, the call of the Mexico using Vontage.  He has not found anything by the previous call that guided him by setting this time.  He said that he would open a ticket and call me in the next 24 to 48 hours.

    Is it reminds and solves the problem, I'll post how it was corrected.

  • Cannot get the Illustrator or InDesign trial to open

    I installed InDesign and Illustrator CS6 successfully but can not get the program to open it. I'm running Windows 7 and whenever I try to open, it says: "Adobe InDesign has stopped working" and forces me to close the program. I tried to uninstall and reinstall and restart the computer, but nothing has worked. Suggestions?

    Newspapers of the installation can be a good starting point. http://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/troubleshoot-install-logs-CS5-CS5.html

    If something went wrong during installation, which will be displayed here. Perhaps that will enlighten us.

    Alternatively, you can verify that you are running with sufficient permissions. You probably because you have successfully installed, but not hurt to check.

    You could also try to create a new user account and then install.

  • Cannot get the file to be imported.

    I tried the method of JoseIbarra - I did as suggested but cannot get the file to be imported in the services file. He never asked me if I wanted to add the information in the registry, so it is still on the office. Don't know what to do from here.

    Please stick to the initial conversation.

    (Even once - keep the * first conversation * going.)  Written on it.  Show how this conversation continues spreading around.)

    BTW - my suggestion has not changed.  I still think that you get just around issues that still exist, probably, by fixing the little things you need at a given time.

    Backup important files/folders (for you) (including documents, photos, music, Favorites, Internet favorites, files installable application, serial numbers, product keys, spreadsheets, you saved to the desktop email, etc.) and wipe the disc completely - I'd even a zero writing on the disc (formatting) before installing the operating system from the original installation media.  Then install your applications and restore your files.

    As to what they were asked to do... Always seems that you saved the file as a *. TXT file and not a *. REG or there is much more wrong with your machine (see my suggestion above.)

    Visit this web page to look at the photo on the left (a first) to see the screenshot of the possible is the desktop icons and let us know if it looks like the left or right of each photo version (answer here or in the longer conversation.)  * Ignore the first part of the file name - as you might have named something else than "addspooler."

    To check if you saved incorrectly or if there is something wrong with your system (or two) - right click on the file you saved and choose 'Properties' from the menu you get.  Under the 'Général' tab, she said, "file Type: registration entries (.reg)" and "opens with: Registry Editor" or something similar?  Visit this web page to look at the picture on the right (second) to see the screenshot of the possible look at the windows of the property and let us know if it looks like the left or right of each photo version (answer here or in the longer conversation.)  * Ignore the first part of the file name - as you might have named something else than "addspooler."

  • Windows cannot find the program to open the exe file

    I did the windows repair option by restarting then pressed f8 to get to come repair options. I did it to try to remove a number of problems of virus on my laptop. It seems that it has solved the problem, but now when I try to access one of my desktop icon shortcuts it indicates that windows cannot find the program to open the exe file. She does it with every shortcut. I can access the location of the program and then select open with and it will be opened in this way, but there is not and I have to select each time. Another option that works is a right-click on the icon and selecting 'start' and who will run the program properly. Other than simply double-click the icons automatically no longer works since I did this repair.

  • Cannot get the droplets to call 32-bit Photoshop

    I'm trying to get my droplets to call the 32-bit version of Photoshop CS5, but it only calls the 64-bit version.

    My gout is running a Plugin that currently only supports 32-bit version of CS5.  How can I configure which version CS5 will get droplets involked?  It is an essential part of my work, so I would appreciate a solution here.

    Details for those who are interested:

    Droplet created in Photoshop CS5 32-bit (running as administrator).  Droplet call Nik Software dFine and Sharpener Pro.

    I use Lightroom (2.7) to select my group of photos, and I export using "run any command" Plugin of Jeffrey Friedl to call my Droplet.

    When I run export, gout opens Photoshop CS5 64-bit version, and then drop an error as Nik Software does not work in 64-bit mode.

    So my current conclusion is that I get the drop to open the 32-bit version of Photoshop CS5.

    Thank you

    Nick

    Don't know how droplets call for Photoshop, but it is possible that they will not open Photoshop but open the files themselves. If this is the case, then you need to change Windows file associations so that your files are open by default in the 32-bit version of Photoshop. Another option would be to simply start the 32-bit version of Photoshop before you run the drop as the 32 and 64-bit cannot run at the same time thus forcing to open these files in the 32-bit version.

  • Cannot get the password or re-establish the link. What should I do?

    Cannot get the password or re-establish the link. What should I do? Reset email is never sent. This master password"... How do you define? I'm locked out of Thunderbird. Help

    Maybe he's trying reset Pasword Thunderbird Master as I'm doing? I copy the code and paset in the console tools\error and press Evaluate. I wonder if I want to reset the Master PW and I say yes, then I get a saying that the Master PW has been reset. Maybe he's looking for an e-mail to tell him that the IPL has been rest to? But the problem is, nothing happens when the password has been reset, msg is sent. TB continues to request the password. I have not changed my PW and when I enter the good PW, TB does not recognize. And reset the PW Master does nothing but generate Pop up messages. It's very frustrating. The information in the help files are not accurate, or the code provided does not work although it generates messages indicating that the IPL has been reset.

    A few old machines will not recognize a USB keyboard/mouse until after Windows starts.  Look at the back of your computer and see if you have a PS/2 (round) connector for a keyboard and a mouse.  If you do, then you will need to use a keyboard with a round PS/2 connector or a USB-to-PS/2 adapter and plug the PS/2 connector on the back of your computer so that it recognizes the keyboard until Windows starts on your keyboard.

    The SATA driver applies to your hard drive.  A CD of start-up/installation of Windows XP does not recognize a SATA hard drive.  If you install Windows, you will need to hit F6 at the right time and insert a floppy with the SATA driver on this subject.

  • Windows Mail wants to open all attachments with Word rather than Word, Adobe, pad etc. How can I get the attachments to open properly?

    Windows Mail wants to open all attachments with Word rather than Word, Adobe, pad etc. How can I get the attachments to open properly?

    Hello

    1. Click the "Start" menu in the bottom left of Windows. Then select "Default programs".
    2. Click on the option "Associate any type of file or Protocol with a program."
    3. Select the file type you want to change the types of files listed. For example, if you want the text (.txt) file to open it in Microsoft Word instead of WordPad, choose '.txt '.
    4. Click on the "Change Program" button in the upper right window.
    5. In the list of programs, select "Microsoft Word". If Microsoft Word does not appear in the list, click on the button 'Browse' in the bottom right and choose Microsoft Word on your computer.
    6. Click on the button 'OK' and then 'close '. The next time you open this type of file, it will open it in Microsoft Word. Repeat this procedure for any other type of file you want to open in Word.

  • I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.

    Original title: new printer

    I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.  The printer works fine when printing from a laptop or ipad!

    Start by going here--> http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?UseCookie=yes&oid=232591&prodoid=63099059&infoType=Downloads&platform=nodetect

    If the web page has not correctly detected your operating system, select it by using the drop-down list.  Rather than using the "Combo package" recommended but huge, expand the "Drivers" section and download driver printer v2.32 to a location that you will remember later.

    • Click on the ORB start and go into devices and printers.
    • Select (click) the icon of your Epson printer.
    • Once you have selected the printer, a button labeled "Print server properties" will appear in the toolbar.  Click on this button.
    • Click the "Drivers" tab on the print server properties dialog box.
    • Select the Epson printer in the list of installed printer drivers, and then click 'remove '.
    • In the context menu, select "Remove driver and driver package" and click OK
    • Click Yes, and then delete
    • Once the removal process is complete, restart the computer (probably not really necessary, but can't hurt)
    • Install the driver and the software using the file that you downloaded earlier

    At this point, your printer should work fine.  However, if you want the ability to print by emailing a file to your printer, you may need to install both 'Remote Printer Driver v1.65' in the category 'Pilot' and "v1.30 utility Configuration of printer Epson Connect" in the "Utilities" category

    Is there a solution

    PIECE AUTO REPAIR
    USING GROUP POLICY EDIT
    gpedit.msc in search

    In the REGEDIT HELP: Group Policy Editor is not provided with Windows Home editions, however, you can use regedit to achieve the same result.

    Open regedit and locate the following key:

  • ERROR: Cannot get the size of the logical block for spfile

    Ran across the following error in the log of alerts for a the 2 node RAC database:

    ERROR: Cannot get the size of the logical block for spfile "+ XXXXXX_SYSTEM/XXXXXX/spfileXXXXXX.ora".

    Looked in MOS and found nothing.  Has anyone go through this before?  If so, what is the cause?

    Just received a resolution of Support from Oracle.  They said that this is a benign error and can be ignored.  Here is their answer to my SR:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OK, after reviewing all that there seems to be no problem to fix. All configurations are correct. We believe that these errors are benign and can be ignored.

    COMMENTS

    ===============

    -L' ASM instance is online.

    -The Diskgroup: + XXXXXX_SYSTEM is mounted and has the physical and logical of 512 bytes sector size.

    -No error message in the alerts ASM journal.

    In light of the facts above, the message "ERROR: could not get the size of the logical block for spfile" seems benign and can be ignored.

    However, to avoid these messages, as a workaround, you can try creating the spfile pfile '+ XXXXXX_SYSTEM/XXXXXX/spfileXXXXXX.ora' and then try to create spfile diskgroup + XXXXXX_SYSTEM using this file pfile.
