• "My external hard drive does not appear in Windows Explorer and cannot open 'Help and Support', an error message" Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing.

  Original title:

  Everything was fine until yesterday. Juice now, when I plugged the external HD into the USB port it does not appear in the 'my computer' window. It is recognized by the computer as it is present on the list of the "Disk Clean Up" and it also appears when I click on ' Safe Remove Hardware ' on the taskbar. But if she does not appear in the 'my computer' window I can't work with it or don't even know what it I have arquived in it.

  Trying to find a solution, I realized that same 'information system' to 'System tools' is also not available. Pops up a window saying that "Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing enforcement. " To resolve this problem, start the service named help and Support '. OK, I tried to open 'Help and Support' ' Start Menu ' and the same window appeared again to "not have a system service that runs". I don't know what her soul precisely and I have not the slightest idea of what I need to do to correct this 'disappearance' of Service 'system '. There is nothing without the appearance of HD in the window of thw work? Everything else works fine and the calculation is virus-free. What should I do?

• Cannot open any office files or icons, the Panel even not. Help!

  Hello
  I really need help desperately. I can't open any office files or icons. I restored to the point the closest that I can, but no difference. Cannot open the Panel even from the Start button. My compuetr crashes every time I double-click or right-click on the icon 'My Computer' or 'My Documents '.
  My restore CD that was shipped with the Toshiba Satellite 1800 does not work either. Help, please! I'm really desperate!
  Jess

  What do you think average with "I tried with the restore CD but nothing '? Have you tried to completely format your HARD drive? I had a similar problem, but in my case it was because of the transplant of BONE... so I reinstalled the system from the beginning and it was ok.
  If you can not solve this problem with the cd supplied by the factory... I think it might be a hardware problem, probably due to the HARD drive. Your HARD drive makes strange noises, like "Click - Clack"?

  Good bye

• We get an error "Player doesn´t support that file or a required CODEC is not installed.

  * Original title: how to open the exported from a Mac in my Windows MP4 video?

  Hi, I can't open MP4 videos when exported from a Mac. A message says that maybe player doesn´t provide support to this file, or a necessary CODE is not instaled on my computer.

  Hello

  1. what player you use to play MP4 videos on your computer?

  2. What is the full error message?

  3 is the issue limited to the exported file?

  Codec can be written for 32-bit OS or 64-bit. If you install a 32-bit codec on a 64 bit system, for example, the player may not be able to play all the files in need of codec.

  Note that many older codecs are no longer available in 32-bit versions. If the codec provider does not specify whether its codec is 32-bit or 64-bit, the codec is capable of 32-bit.

  Determine what codec was used:

  a. read the file in the player.

  b. right-click on the file and then click Properties.

  c. on the file tab, look at the Audio codec and Video codec sections.

   

  Then you can uninstall any installed codec and install that you need to do the job file.

  If you have several codec for the single file to work they can clash and cause problems.

• Cannot open the WMV files.

  Just bought a new computer and when I try to download a file WMV, Internet Security explore comes up and asks me if I want to allow, click on allow and I get the message: Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  May not permissions to access you the item.

  When I click Details I get this message: name... Pack\MediaPlayerClassic\mpc-HC.exesource-MPC.HC@SourceForge

  I found a download for Media player classic, but when I tried to download my antivirus (Kaspersky) came with a warning that the file was not signed and that it was a potentially dangerous download if I did not.

  Would appreciate any help I could get on it.

  Hi ramrod711,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community newsgroups

  Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  May not permissions to access you the item.

  The question stem also from your security program such Kaspersky or a /Defender of Windows Firewall which can have parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks and does not download the file. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.

  Important note: Ensure that the download comes from a reliable source and then disable the security software or allow the file to download.

• Cannot open ' NoteStore.sqlite 'file because its format is not correct.

  Hello

  My notes app does not work after update to OS X El Capitan

  Can I have some help please?

  This procedure returns the database of Notes of the set to an earlier version. It is not possible to restore individual notes.

  Please stop the Notes application is running.

  1 triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

  ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes

  Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

  Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

  of the contextual menu.*, a file must open with a selected item named "com.apple.Notes". Move the selected item to the trash, then restore it from a backup prior to the unwanted change. If you make a backup with Time Machine, enter it and select the snapshot you want to restore from.

  2. make as in step 1 with this line:

  ~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.notes

  This time the selected item will be "group.com.apple.notes", otherwise you may get an alert that the item does not exist. The latter case, skip this step.

  3 log off or restart the computer, and empty the trash. Launch of Notes. You can see a "Welcome to Notes" splash screen, as if you had never started. Click on continue.

  4. If you synchronize Notes with iCloud or another network service, notes that you restored may be immediately deleted after you restore the. In this case, temporarily, disconnect from the Internet, for example by turning off your adapter broadband and restore again. Copy the contents of each note of a document in another application, such as TextEdit. Reconnect to the Internet. If the notes are deleted, recreate them in TextEdit document. They should then synchronize to the network.

  * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  May be that the video file format is not compatible with Windows Media Player.

  Options: -.

  1] download and install VLC Player. It's free and supports file formats more than WMP.

  2] download and install the codecs

  Personally, I prefer VLC Player-if you have that then not need to download and install the codec of any third party.

• Media Player will not work "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

  I currently have Windows 8.  However, when I try to play a seminar online on the internet, I get the following message is displayed:

  Windows Media Player can not play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer.

  Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this problem?

  Please and thank you!

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community forums.

  I understand that you are not able to play a Webinar on the windows computer using Windows Media Player 8.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

  1 you get an error code or the name of the codec to install?

  2. are you able to play other files with Windows media player?

  3. What are the file format of the multimedia files that you are not able to play using Windows media player?

  4. are you referring to the video file saved using Webinar?

  This problem is caused if the file format is not supported by windows media player.

  Codec compresses or decompresses media files. Windows media player uses codecs to play and create media files.

  See the link below for the types of files supported by windows media player.

  You can also refer to a link to find out what codecs are installed on your computer.
