  • Windows Media Player in Vista does not work. Installation of Windows 7 Home Premium will fix the problem?

    Windows Media Player does not work.  Impossible to use slide show programs, can not open attachments that require Media Player.  Tried to update and couldn't.  Couldn't fix it.

    Hello

    Run the sfc/scannow command.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

    If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

  • Windows Vista does not work with modem wireless broadband

    I saw no answer to this problem.  Can anyone help?

    Windows Vista on my DELL laptop at home does not work with my new NETGEAR modem wireless broadband 3 G.  The modem appears in the list of networks, I just errors like: unable to connect, cannot diagnose,... Both devices work perfectly well together when connected by cable but not wireless.  Interestingly, my laptop work, also a DELL but runing Windows XP, works very well with the NETGEAR modem.

    Summary:
    Vista / Netgear wired - work
    Vista / Netgear wireless - does not work
    XP / Netgear wireless - work

    I went through the NETGEAR troubleshooting guide, doing everything from changing the types of security to manually enter the MAC address of the laptop.  I ran to the ground with the NETGEAR support engineers, and they said check with Microsoft.  I am convinced that it has something to do with Vista.  Any ideas?

  • Windows Vista does not work for all programs requiring administrator rights

    I have Windows Vista Business SP1 on a Dell XPS laptop. He worked from 3-4 years. It seems that after a recent update (in the last week), I rebooted the laptop and after that Vista can not run programs that require administrator privileges. This includes most of the items in the Panel, the observer of events, computer management, elevated command prompt and so on.

    After logging in, I get a notification of the task bar that says "Windows cannot connect to the customer service group policy."

    When I try to any program requiring administrative privileges (for example, msconfig), I get an error "Windows cannot find C:\Windows\system32\msconfig.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again"

    I restored the system (from safe mode) for a day where it seems to be ok, but the problem remains.

    The sound in the system tray icon is a trademark of the Red Cross on it, but sounds work ok.

    Analyses of virus through McAfee (all installed updates and latest virus definitions) showed no signs of the virus.

    As already mentioned in the original post, System Restore does not resolve the problem. I got to the new vista installation to fix the problem. Some windows updates and reboot after applying the update seems to be the cause.

  • Adobe AE CS4 Help Menu does not work

    AE help, Scripting, refers, predefined animations, the keyboard shortcuts are not working in the Help menu. Registration, deactivation etc are functional. This AE's with Production Premium CS4 on Windows Vista. This is a problem since the initial installation. He remained a problem on the relocation of a year and a half later. Is there a file that does not load from the disk I should know about? I expect updates to fix this, but that didn't happen.

    I solved the problem in CS4 by uninstalling and reinstalling AE. Obviously when I installed on drive it installed everything. EI, I was part of a suite (PP) and I reinstalled probably all. CS5 has pdf help popping up when I'm looking for the application window. It is an obstacle. See my problem for December 2011.
