b. double-click on CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives, click on the DVD drive that you want, and then click Properties.
c. on the DVD region tab, make the desired changes.
Note: To configure your DVD drive to play discs from other regions, select a geographic area from the list of regions. As a general rule, you must select the region in which you reside. It is not often necessary to change the setting again.
Important: The region can change only a limited number of times. When changes remaining equals 1, and you select a new region, an alert is displayed to warn you that after this, you only will be able to play DVDs from that region. Be aware that you will not be able to change the region setting for some DVD hardware and software decoders.
Step 2: If the problem persists, run the Windows Media Player DVD Troubleshoot utility and check the result.

* Original title: 8 victory moved - Error Message: failed to create new partition...
I have Win XP on my Dell Dimension 5150, which is the dual boot with Linux Mint 12 Lisa and this is my favorite of the bunch.
I bought the DVD of 8 Pro Windows by an Australian retailer.
Win XP is on a 39 GB partition with other application files. I had to delete several files to get the free space necessary to WIN 8 and finally finished by formatting the partition and passes for a COMPLETE new installation.
Unfortunately, I now get the "failed to create new partition or find existing. For more information, see the Setup log file"error message. I can't find a Setup log file that I do a boot from the DVD.
I tried to delete all external drives and other USB devices, including my Modem but my Wired USB keyboard/mouse.
Two internal HARD drives are as follows:
Disk 0 Partition 1-110 GB - system (LINUX)
Disk 0 Partition 2 - 3.5 GB - logicalDisk 1 Partition 1 - 47 MB - OEM (reserved) [DellUtility]
Disc 1 2:Win - 39.1 GB - System Partition
1 3 disk partition: DATA - 39,1 GB - logical
Disk partition 1 4:OfficeProgs - 19.5 GB - logical
Partition on drive 1 logical - 39.1 GB - 5:PROJECTS
etc to score 8 with 9 MB of unallocated space.I have tried both 64 and 32 discs with the same result.
As I have now is no longer no matter what Windows on my computer, what's the next step? If any ;-)
Hello
I solved the problem. It seems that you can not install on a secondary partition with in an earlier version of windows. You must restart the computer and run the installation from a dvd or other media. Once you get the installation running you should be able to install on another partition without any problems.
Nice day

Qosmio G20: DVD region Code?
Hello
I am about to purchase a Qosmio G20 wasn't what I just learned today that they won't be available mid-2005 in Belgium.
However, in preparation since then, I have a few questions:
Because the Qosmio is a DVD playback mode without having to start Windows, this means that the region will be probably set somewhere in the Bios for a given region.
Travel laptop users and my partner is American, so we have DVD region 1 and 2.
Are there any evolution of the WinDVD software when running on Qosmio the failing lock a region code after X play. I've never understood that laptops (mobile systems) have the same restrictions as the reception of readers of DVD/entertainment (whow by the way no one knows!)
So, how can we play the two regions on the Qosmio G20 or anything that will be available for the Belgium.
Thank you
DannyPost edited by: Danny
The bounding can be changed 5 times.
After the last selected region Code is saved in the DVD player.
But also, there are a lot of programs (Freeware) that help make your life easier and work around this Limitation.
The only thing that you can do this through precaution is to google all over the place.
Good bye

Fax and Scan Error - Message could not be sent. Media is write protected
I have a PC with Windows Vista Ultimate on it. Turns off user access control. On the sign as Admin will have all the rights.
Windows Fax and Scan works very well for a long time. Had a modem comes to shove, he replaced everything works fine.
In the last day or two - with no known changes to the system - the system is no longer send and receive faxes.
It gives me an error-"message could not be sent. the media is write protected. »
This happens if I try to send a fax directly from the Windows fax software or if I try to "print" a document by fax.
When you receive a fax - it gives a similar error.
It works as records receive faxes are unalterable and, if I look at their properties in Explorer. I try to uncheck Read-only and it acts like it works only when I get back - read-only is still selected.
Other times I tried to make changes to access to the files by Windows Fax, fax settings - but it tells me that I have to be logged on as administrator to make these changes and I signed up as an administrator - the only Director on the PC.
I also removed the Fax profile and recreated. I think that the question is the property read-only on my directory of fax, but for some reason that seems locked on.
I also shot the back, rebooted, turned off UAC back, rebooted and tried to change the settings of RO, no luck.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Read-only for folders is normal (mine are). See if this fix works for you:
Fax Error: The message could not be sent. Media is write protected

Error message during the download of Windows 10 80080008
Original title: Error Message 80080008
I have to continue getting the 80080008 error message when I try to download 10 window. I have currently windows 7 can you sat me with this
Hello
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
I understand that you receive error code 80080008 when downloading Windows 10 and I will be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;
- Exactly how you try to download Windows 10?
- What security software is installed on the computer?
- You are able to install any update of Windows?
Normally, this problem occurs because the Wups2.dll file included in the latest version of Windows Update is incorrectly installed or has become not registered. Let's try the following methods and check the status.
Method 1: Run Windows update troubleshooting tool
Troubleshooting Windows Update tool to make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet and checks to see if your network card and Windows Update services are running properly.
Click to launch Windows Update Troubleshooter
Method 2: If the troubleshooter does not solve the problem, you can try to re - register the DLL in question.
To do:
a. open the window by clicking the Start button command prompt . In the search box, type command promptand then in the list of results, click command prompt. Click Yes , or type the administrator password if prompted.
b. type the following command to stop the Windows Update service, and then press enter
net stop wuauserv
c. type the following command to re - register the DLL in question and press enter
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\wups2.dll
d. restart the Windows Update service by typing the following command and press enter
net start wuauserv
e. restart the computer and try again.
Method 3: Temporarily disable the firewall and antivirus by following the steps mentioned in the link below:
Enable or disable Windows Firewall
Note: You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall is enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.
Disable the anti-virus software
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Important: Turn on the firewall and anti-virus after troubleshooting is performed.
In addition, you can refer to the suggestions provided by Andre Da Costa in the Wiki article created him.

error message "cannot find the c:\windows\amopifat.dll.
Anyone know how I can restore this file and what it does?
Thank you
Doug
Looking for errors like this by doing a search on Google for the name of the file. Usually, they turn up without success. Search for amopifat.dll had no success.
When a search in no hits or suspicious hits result, the answer is usually that the file in question is linked to the malicious software and your anti-malware application has deleted or quarantined file, but left to the Windows registry entry that tries to start the malicious software when you start your computer.
First of all, download, install, update and run full scans with two of these free analytical tools:
MalwareBytes AntiMalware
SUPERAntiSpywareDo not run the scans at the same time. They can take some time, so start an and then go for a non computer chore for awhile.
If the scans does not solve the problem (and they can't, because the actual malware file has already been processed), then download and run Autoruns. Click on the "Connection" tab and look in the column 'Image path' for the dll named in your error message. If it is not displayed in the connection tab, click the "all" tab and use the file > search tool. A characteristic of the search of Autoruns tool is that you must move the selection under the element line "found" before you "Find Next."
Once you find the line with the file in question, either "delete" or (if you want to be safer) uncheck the box. The latter prevents the line running, but you can reactivate it later by removing the check mark.
Since I tried Norton-specific registry, but the message still appears.
Don't do that again. If no error has appeared after you run this tool, count you lucky. Long MS MVP PA Bear:
If you ever think that your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, cured, twisted, fixed or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.
