  • How to fix my windows media player 12

    I was with the windows media player 12 to broadcast my media from my pc to my xbox 360

    I have installed a codec pack to get mainly mkv and other formats of media for playback support
    It worked fine for a long time.
    recently the windows media player 12 categorizes the mkv and accept other formats avi, wmv formats and in the other media section
    and the xbox 360 can not find this article so I can't stream this content more
    What can I do to fix this

    Hi ChrisLovett,

    MKV is not a format supported by Xbox 360. If it worked with the Codec pack that you use, you can remove this codec pack and reinstall the latest version of the codec pack and see if that helps.

    You can use your favorite search engine to search for a converter to convert the file format of .mkv in another format that supports the Xbox 360.

    On the search for information about the files on the drive, see this article.

  • How to fix a corrupted by MBL Virus files?

    Hello BearPup,

    Thanks for the quick response.

    Your impressive support is appreciated.

    I was recommended to try to repair files affected with Recuva.

    But I'll try your suggestion first two program.

    I will surely you know how it goes.

    Best regards

    Hello Mr. ML.

    You're welcome and thank you for your kind words. The problem, Recuva is a file recovery application. They allow you to recover a file (or folder or partition) that has been deleted or damaged otherwise. Another freeware program, you can use - it's the only one on my system - is 7 - Data Recovery Suite, available here: http://download.cnet.com/7-Data-Recovery-Free/3000-2094_4-75905667.html.

    Just to be clear, this is equivalent to a backup in case your backup (if all goes well now) fails for some reason any. Part of the concern here is that the corrupted files are potentially carriers of the virus or anything would be able to re - corrupting your system.

    Frankly, if it were my system, I'd be less likely to try to repair files corrupt and much more likely to replace everything. And Yes, I have separated from my system disk backups and my data disc, baked upward on the other two disks. Readers are cheap. So if you have backups and / or can make a reinstallation is complete, it would be my first choice recommendation.

    If you can't do that for some reason, some tips for the use of data recovery software.

    • Stop any activity involving the disk or disks that you want to recover files from. The reason is simple, the computer "works" - reads and writes information in the hard drive, more lucky that some of the files to recover will finish itself be replaced. The more often that happens the higher the risk that you will not get a "good recovery" - too much information will be unrecoverable.
    • Do not install it on the same drive you want to recover files from. Its OK to install the program on your D:\ or you get the portable version on a flash drive.
    • Given that the source of the problem is a virus / malware, i. by 'wash' everything you get with your antivirus program as soon as they are recovered.

    Good luck to you and keep me updated.

    Kind regards

  • Various problems about how to fix the corruption?

    I quickly and desperately need help.

    So, I listen to music on Windows Media Player.  All my music is located on drive F, while the program itself is on a different drive.  Suddenly, the song I listen to starts glitching.  I close the program and try to restart.  When it doesn't, I think it's just because the process did not finish completely.  I try to open the Task Manager, but it will not.  Then, when I try to open the F drive, it says it's corrupt.  I restart my computer to perform the CHKDSK command.  Many files will eventually be deleted.  I think that too much dust got into my lap, but I did my best to fix this before restarting.  In any case, fortunately, I got almost all of my files backed up, but when I try to copy them in F, it is said that he only TI-Cycle Redundancy Check.  Naturally, this freaked me out.  Meanwhile, I'm trying to open the Task Manager, but fail.  To do this, this thing where he's looking for the file and asks me if I want to watch myself.  I do this and go to the Drive E.  But all the files in System32 have weird names, such as symbols and lines and other things.  And when you hover over them, it has the same weird thing for the listed file type.  I need to check that too?  But it would be annoying that all the files on E has been deleted, since the filesystem there.  Anyone know how to solve these problems?  Help, please!

    My computer is telling me that the files in Windows Media Player are corrupt and the player must be reconfigured. I wonder how you do that?

    Hello

    1. what operating system is installed on the system?

    2 have you made any changes to the system before the show?

    (b) click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
