• How can I find the current drivers for Windows Media Player?

  When I try to open a file, I often get the message: your device uses an outdated driver is no longer supported by Windows Media Player.  Then, the file may or may not play.  How can I find the driver update.  I use Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP laptop.

  The drivers you want are not for Media Player, they are for your laptop until you get all the details of your model and go to the HP website and download the latest drivers especially to render sounds and display adapter.

• How can I find the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium (preinstalled) as sticker has worn through.

  Someone knows if the product key is stored in any file on windows.  Or does anyone know if Microsoft will have kept no record of the product key and can send information.

  The short answer is no.

  Even if a product key is stored in Windows and can be retrieved by various utilities third keyfinder, when Windows was preinstalled, this key is a special key used by the manufacturer of the computer to automatically activate Windows when, for example, you use the manufacturer method to restore the computer to its factory condition.

  This key can be used if you want to reinstall using a Windows CD/DVD installation that you have purchased.  To do this, you use the key on the COA label on your machine.

  If you need this key, your most likely solution is to use a bright light and a magnifying glass.  If it is completely unreadable, it is possible - though unlikely - that the manufacturer of the computer (non-Microsoft) can be useful.

  No key will be useful if you want to install Windows on another computer.  OEM (preinstalled) Microsoft software product keys are valid only for the computer on which the software was first installed.

• How can I find the hidden in El Capitan user library folder?

  Situation; a friend gave me a Macbook Pro upgrade so that it can use it with the more modern software. The first time he came he worked perfectly, using his login credentials. Went through the process to get the computer upgraded to El Capitan, which went perfectly, right upward through the appropriate shutdown sequence. Tried to start again after leaving the Macbook Pro to sit for 2 weeks and now I can not connect to the user account, and there is only 1 Administrator account on the computer. Is be the account that can not be connected.

  I need to get into users home folder/library, and now that I can not connect, it is not possible to use the thumb... Utility of Finder window. I need to reset the user account, but disk utility is useless these days, even if it does not resolve broken Finder problems. Cannot reset on Admin account or the other. Yes, I know, security risk. But...

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  If you need to continuously show

• Cannot find the Favorites file from Windows Explorer in Windows XP. Does not currently have IE in Windows XP

  I have been using Windows XP for a while.  I am always connected in Windows Explorer through the icon 'Butterfly '.  Never interested in Internet Explorer - too cluttered screen.  I have several files in Windows Explorer and virtually none in Internet Explorer 8.  How can I find the Favorites file

  Windows Explorer so I can import them from a new laptop with Windows 7? There, not too many people who understand what I'm saying

  Tommy,

  You've done a good job answering my question.  Somehow, and I don't know how I did it I accidentally erased all the favourites I had accumulated for quite some time.  I have not found these missing Favorites in the trash that is where I would have expected to have. But that's another story and not a good thing.  I have so appreciated your efforts and I hope at some point I can get these favorites - wherever they are now.

  Sincerely,

  ECK Wolf

• How can I find the files referenced in iPhotos?

  Decided to modernize iCloud to help manage the access / my pictures. At some point, the iMac has presented the following message.

  

  How can I find these referenced files? I have more 40 000 photos in the photo library and manually find 85 referenced photos will take me most of this Millennium. Of course, there's an easier way to find this message suggests? The command ' display referenced file in Finder "is grayed out, leading me to assume that I must first find and select a file of reference before this command is available.

  This referenced assembly file thing is probably a remnant of Aperture. I still have the Aperture library, so if I open opening and found the files referenced here, I guess I could manually move in Photos, but then they would not be properly organized in their original albums, etc.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  It is always sensible in this situation to achieve a malware check

  Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

  Download and run SuperAntiSpyware (Free Edition)
