    You can navigate to C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player and check if the wmplayer file is listed. If it is there, and then create a shortcut on the desktop or right-click on "wmplayer" and chose "Pin to start menu" and check if it helps.

  • IE8 has disappeared from my computer and I can't retrieve it or download it successfully.

    Works fully update Vista HP on a gateway DX4710-09, Pentium Dual core E5200, 6 GB of RAM DDR2, HD 640GO with lots of space empty.

    Originally 32 and 64 bit versions of IE8 was installed and usable.  Just for a test, on 06/02/13 I installed and set Firefox as default browser but do not delete IE8 or other than to replace it with Firefox by default.  I used Firefox and IE8 such as required and all worked well for a while and then a few days ago two versions of IE8 has mysteriously disappeared from my computer and I was not able to get a return.  I tried to download but for some reason any that does not work.  I checked the list of installed programs and IE8 does not appear here and the two icons disappeared in the start menu, as well as in the Group of quick launch.  An IE folder appears in Windows Explorer in the Program Files folder as the Program Files (x 86) folders.  The subfolders in each list of files with a modification of 18/02/13 date I think it's the date IE8 disappeared.  Being not qualified for one more, I did nothing with any of the files in these folders for fear of making things worse.  Someone care to volunteer to get out of this dilemma?

  • Password Bank found that Firefox has been uninstalled from this computer

    I get this message and let me know what it means. "Password Bank found that Firefox has been uninstalled from this computer. Please confirm following elevation request to remove orphan password Bank support.

    Hello!

    It seems a similar problem has been reported in the past, already, for example here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/954186

    Chances are that you have advanced security software on your computer that you're not using (banking password), which can eventually be removed from your computer (because it seems that you do not use).

    I would suggest finding the control panel for your computer and removing Bank of your system password, if you know how to do this.

  • Driver DVD disappear from 'My computer' and 'Device Manager '.

    Vista HP Portable DVD player continues to disappear from 'My computer' and 'Device Manager '. Already tried Upper/LowerFilters.

    Hi, a few weeks ago, the DVD burner in the laptop suddenly disappearedmy computer (Windows Explorer).  The first thing I did was check theDevice Manager to see if the drive was there.  It was not the case.  Restarting the laptop did nothing.  Repeated several times, active Vista updates.  No change.  By checking the net, I tried to delete the Upper/LowerFilters in the registry, download it tool Microsoft fix , delete iTunes, do a system restore, to change all the parameters of thesleep and hibernation off and a few other things.  It appeared for the first time after that:

    1. Do a restore of the system for the first restore point.
    2. Remove the DVD writer.
    3. Restarting the laptop.
    4. Research of new hardware in Device Manager .
    5. Change all parameters of standby and Hibernate off. (I tried this method without this step first, but the drive disappeared after the computer went to sleep and woke up.)  Tried 3 times with the same results).
    6. Closing.
    7. Reinsert the DVD burner.

    On the next reboot, the DVD writer has been recognized and ended up in my computer and Device Manager .  No errors of any kind and no drivers were installed at startup.

    What has happened since then, in the last 4 or 5 days, is randomly disappears from thedesktop .  Usually after a few hours or more.  This time, however, it usually appears inDevice Manager after a search of new material.  No reboot required.  It will read from a DVD .avi files each time.  It has not been detected byDevice Manager maybe about 2 or 3 times, and after a simple reboot, it will be present inmy computer and Device Manager automatically after a reboot.  I read that the superior/UpperFilter mark has worked for many people, but for some, the problem returns.  In addition, many of the discussions on this question and proofreading are years.  It happened about 10 days ago.  Within 2 days before the problem appeared first, it was an update of windows, but also an update of iTunes.

    I noticed that I received this error when opening iTunes:

    "The registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can occur as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes. ''

    I have not reinstalled, no DVD player.  Uninstalled itunes again.  Since I finally got the drive to appear (using the method I described above), I did bother to reinstall iTunes because I particularly need it on this computer, worried that it may be the cause of the original problem and I wanted to see if the disc disappears again.  I did do it, however, let QuickTime installed.  Don't know if this could be a problem?

    I stumbled upon this suggestion, but I also had the same question as the next post, and I have not seen a response.  I don't know if or how I should try:

    Nikki,

    You can not go back if the restore points aren't there. Try to reinstall the IDE driver.

    To do:
    -Click on the round to start and right click on computer
    -Left click on properties, this will open the system window
    -Click on device high Managerin left
    -Click on continue if prompted by UAC
    -Goto the 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' you should right click on uninstall and restart

    BTW that dog rox in this avitar

    See you soon! MCP. MCDST. LVL 80

    Hi, thanks for the comment on my puppy. She is now 5 MB and her name is Nikki, lol.

    Well, I tried what you said, but the IDE ATA/ATAP controllers has a (+), so when I select it does give me not an option to uninstall. It is for me (analysis of the physical changes (or) properties).       and if I click on the (+) sign I have 4 different options. 2 channels IDE, Intel (R) 82801 HEM / HBM SATA AHCI controller and Intel(r) ICH8M Ultra ATA Storage controllers - 2850.

    What I see in "Device Manager", under IDE ATA/ATAP controllers is:

    IDE channel (x 4)

    Ricoh Memory Stick Controller

    Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller

    Ricoh xD-Picture Card Controller

    Controller of PCI standard IDE dual channel (x 2)

    The laptop is about 2 years and never had problems.  The DVD burner is hardly used to burn, maybe a total of 5 disks in this time.  It has been used occasionally to read or copy from, but not much.  I'm not convinced that he is dead, as I had 2 die on me in desktop computers, after burning hundreds of CDs in them and read much.

    in any case, I was not able to find any bugs or suggestions (with the exception of 'replace' the reader), so I just wanted to describe my specific situation and see if anyone could help out.  Forgive me for information, I have left out, but I am an amateur when it comes to the problems with the computer and still don't know what mean things or where I can get information on my OS, software or hardware.  All anyone can do would be greatly appreciated.

    This is the information I have:

    HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook PC

    Optiarc DVD RW AD-7560 ATA Device

    Vista Home Premium

    Service Pack 2

    Thanks again for any help.

    Hi eredjake,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    Make sure that the Windows defender service is running on the computer.

    Set the Windows Defender service on Automatic rather than Manualor disabled . To do this, follow these steps:

    a. click onstart toreduce this includes this image, type services in the Start Search box, and then click Services in the list of programs . Collapse this includes this image

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click continue.

    b. double-click the Windows Defender service and then in the Startup type box, click Automatic.

    c. click OK.

    If you cannot start the Windows defender service, then I would suggest that temporary you disable the security software installed on the computer and try to start the service, check if it helps.

    Disable the anti-virus software
