I used to be able to watch VIDEO (including the .avi) files in the preview pane in windows Explorer, but it has since stopped working. This change took place after the update to the latest version on windows media player. (version 12.0.7601.18150)
attempted fixes:
1. in options from files of the variations of tab - all reviews of checking / unchecking "always show icons, never thumbnails" and "show previewhandlers in the preview pane. the first has nothing to do with this problem. However, the 'show previewhandlers... '. "when checked this error message is displayed in the preview pane" "this file cannot be previewed because of an error in the windows media player rich preview Manager." When unchecked the poster preview pane a thumbnail with the icon of the program it is supposed to open, in the present case, WMP, this correction allows the preview of the PHOTO but NOT of VIDEO. " also I reset by default, of course.
2. they also examined the options under system settings panel-advanced control and troubleshooting without success.all the less someone ' one can confirm that there is a problem with windows media player? or it comes from windows Explorer?
UPDATE:
https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=xBgrJ3XO-Z8This shows that the problem is with WMPRPH.exe (Windows Media Player Rich Preview Handler) it happens when wmprph farm, now if someone knows how to impose this program to continue to work as it should which would solve my problem.

Original title: download error
Hello
Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.
It seems that you have problems with downloading files on the windows vista computer.
The description of the problem seems a little unclear and I wish I had a better understanding before you start working on it. I would appreciate if you can help me with the following information.
1. what browser you use on the computer?
2. What is the exact full error message?
3. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?
4. deal with this problem if you try to download all files from online?
If you do this in the face of Internet Explorer help, I suggest that you should change the default download location and check if it helps.
Method 1
In internet explorer, you can change the default location.
Here's how:
a. open internet explorer.
b. click on Tools , then select view downloads.
c. downloads for window, click Options.
d. now, enter the default download location and click on the OK button.
Turn on the computer at the beginning of boot and check if the problem persists.
Method 2
Perform a clean boot to see if no third-party service is causing the problem.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: follow step 3 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

How to fix the error in the windows system event log
How to diagnose in the event log error... pls help.
Here are some notes on the event viewer reports that can help you. When you have a lot of mistakes, you need to focus on system errors and warnings, even if it's the applications that are giving you grief. Problems with the first sorting system can do the easier application problems. Note the time that the computer is started last and deal first with those at the beginning of the boot. Correct previous errors can be solved later.
1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.
2 Event Viewer includes three main newspapers of Windows. Here's the Application, security, and system. For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.
3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.
4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Click the button copy on the general tab allows you to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.
5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.
6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.
7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.

Original title: how to fix browseui.dll without original windows disc?
Hello
Well, kids, here's the deal.
I myself locked out of my computer and installed PC login now erase my passwords. It has worked flawlessly, and I now have my computer back after months and months.
There was only a single small strangeness: whenever I connected my computer, he asked me to check my drive. Looking forward to get my computer and running and customized how I like it, I bypassed it the first few times. Then, when I had a few minutes, I thought I had better let the disk check, so I left it.
NOW, when I turn on my computer, I get an error message that my browseui.dll file is not a valid windows image and my windows Explorer does not work. So I've been doing on the web looking for a solution via the Task Manager, which is a pain. Someone suggested to use the scannow in the command prompt command line, so I tried, but it requires my disk of windows XP which I think can be in a different State with my mother. So I simply bypassed it whenever he had the drive and VOILA! all peachy.
Until, that is, I turn on my computer again. We're back in the same place. Well, this analysis running and without going through the disc each time took me about an hour, and I can't do that whenever I need to use my computer.
I tried the system restore, no change. I tried from the command prompt and choose a date AND choose "last good configuration" in the menu f12 or f8. Without peanut.
We are this:
1. is there a way to correct this file without the disc?
2. can I get another copy of the disk without having to buy it?
3. Although I'm not PARTICULALRY, would be the Windows 7 upgrade solves the problem? (But I really like my XP...)
If the c:\windows\system32\browseui.dll file is damaged or missing, Explorer.exe does not start and you may see a message like this:
If the c:\windows\system32\browseui.dll file is corrupted, Explorer.exe does not start and you will see a message like this:
Explorer.exe - bad Image
The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\BROWSEUI.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.You can click OK and get to an empty office with only your display background image but still be able to maneuver with the Task Manager.
If missing the c:\windows\system32\browseui.dll file, Explorer.exe does not start and you will see a message like this:
Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component: this application has failed to start because BROWSEUI.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
You can click OK and get to an empty office with only your display background image but still be able to maneuver with the Task Manager.
Since we know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the dllcache folder, you can use the Task Manager to replace the file missing or distressed.
From the Task Manager, click file, new task (run...) and then click Browse and navigate to the c:\windows\system32\dllcache folder. Make sure the "Files of type" box is set to show all files (or you will not see any), and then click OK to display all files.
Locate the copy of the browseui.dll file backup in the folder c:\windows\system32\dllcache, made right click and copy and go back up a folder c:\windows\system32, right-click in an empty area and paste the file there. Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.
You can then start the Explorer in Task Manager by clicking file, new task (run...) and in the "Open:", enter:
Explorer.exe
Click OK to launch the Explorer and your office must return.
Or after replacing the file missing or suspicious, just restart the system task manager by clicking on stop and choosing restart and then Explorer will start to him only when the system is restarted.
If your computer to check your drive at every reboot, which means the "dirty bit" on the volume was probably settled and the only way to clear the dirty bit must run a chkdsk/r (which XP trying to do). The dirty bit can be defined on a volume if there is a power interruption e.g. (plug pulling, using the power button / stop, etc.).
Sometimes, XP can't erase the bit of impurity in this way and it is preferable to run chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console so you can actually see what he does and run it again if necessary.
If you do not have any bootable media XP start in the XP Recovery Console, you can create a bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console CD and do all your work from there.
You can even replace the file browseui.dll from SP Recovery Console if it is your desire.
Need instructions to create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console? No Microsoft Support Engineer seems to know how to do this, but I do and will instruct you in the next reply.

Thanks in advance

Do not install an operating system is usually caused by (in order of probability):
1. you are trying to install with other devices connected to the computer. Unplug them before trying to make an installation.
2. "" "" defective installation media. "" Check the CD/DVD installation for scratches, tasks. Try another machine.
3. bad optical drive. Test with another CD/DVD bootable or Exchange for a well-known work.
4. faulty RAM. Test with Memtest86 + www.memtest.org . You will download the .iso image file to create a bootable cd. Burn the file with the third party burning software *-as an image, not in the form of data. Then start with the media that you did (you may need to change the boot priority in your BIOS so that the optical drive is the first boot device). The test runs immediately. The test run for an hour or two--at least that errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM.
* It is not necessary to have a third party burning software in Windows 7 since Win7 natively allows to burn an .iso. Other operating systems require it. A good free choice ImgBurn comes from www.imgburn.com .
5. bad hard drive. Test with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr... You create a bootable CD with the files you download. Burn the file with a third-party burning software (unless you have Windows 7, that allows to record the .isos natively) - as an image, not in the form of data. Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.
6. other hardware components are faulty. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Error - "the CD key you entered is invalid" when trying to install the Windows XP computer.
Original title: Windows XP CD Key can expire?
My old machine with Windows XP installed should be trashed. I want to install Windows XP on a netbook Eee. The Win XP CD is a CR - ROM with the retail CD. It was given by my former neighbor who worked at Microsoft and purchased at a reduced price.
Trying to install Windows XP, I had pop-up window "you entered the CD key is not valid. I installed Windows XP Home edition using this CD key several times on my old machine, to clean the operating system after a certain period of malware infection. The CD key is certainly valid.
So what's happening? The CD key can expire after a certain number of years? Note that what's happening during the initial installation - before the first logon. There is no internet connection. So it is not possible for the installation check if this CD key is used elsewhere.
I tried several times. Whenever I got this error in the installation step "installation of Windows.
The message itself is that I quoted above "the CD key you have entered is not valid.
These are the typical reasons, you would get such a message:
1. the user enters in the key not associated with the retail disk but another key, usually on top of the COST of the PC sticker.
2. at least one of the characters has been entered incorrectly. This could be because of user error or a faulty keyboard.
Just to be sure: you use a real retail CD? Or is it a generic OEM CD that was bought in a store?
A way around this problem is to use an XP SP3 integrated in a installation CD. If your CD is SP2 or earlier, you can create one on the scale of SP3, using a process called "slipstreaming". Then everything just when it's time to enter your product key, don't! Then you will see this window:

I use Windows 7 64-bit with Service Pack 1. Windows Update worked fine until the Windows Update Agent is automatically updated to 7.6.7600.320 in August 2014. Now, when Windows Update tries to search for updates, it reports "Windows could not search for updates" and indicates that the 80246002 error code was received.
[UPDATE] Since posting this query, I think I solved my problem by following the instructions described on the page "Update tool of the system for Windows 7 for x 64-based Systems (KB947821) [may 2014]." I downloaded the file (Windows6 1 - KB947821 - v33 - x 64.msu) and then let it settle. He describes himself as "Fix for Windows (KB947821)". The installation took awhile, with a lot of disk activity. When he finally finished, I rebooted my machine and tried an update of Windows. It seems to work fine; He even found a significant update that I then installed successfully. So apparently my problem the hotfix for Windows (KB947821) provided the solution.
[UPDATE 2] After seeing the messages on the change the DNS to resolve the problem, I thought I would add the following information where it is necessary:
- I use the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer 11 and confirmed it works in 64-bit mode by inspecting the user agent of the browser. You can check the user agent of your browser by visiting http://user-agent.me/
- My Internet Protocol properties are set to 'Obtain DNS server address automatically'. It works with my wireless router, and I've never tried to change it.
[UPDATE 3] After thinking I was safe, after doing several searches for updates, the returned 80246002 problem on my machine! I rebooted my machine and my wireless router, but it did not help. So, I advanced and tried the DNS thing: I changed the favorite 8.8.8.8 DNS server and another server DNS 8.8.4.4 and then rebooted. Search on Windows Update is now successfully! I am humbled and grateful!
In my case, I got the window update 80246002 error code after I uninstalled KB2982791 according to the https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS14-045 and then tried the updates. I have nothing clears the error (ipconfig/flushdns, rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, a few MS Fix, etc...). KB2993651 being the replacement update I was trying to download and install, I decided to manually download the update from the windows update (http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=KB2993651) catalog. After you downloaded and installed KB2993651, I rebooted the PC and then I was able to check Windows updates again without entering the 80246002 error code.
