original title: how to restore the settings for multimedia features

I turned off features of media by mistake, I should have stopped Media Player to erase the files corrupted, after turning on again, I did not know what settings to check so I chose only the music about points now my computer does not work as it did.

How to restore the settings before this error I tried the system restore, but that did not help, my system seems to be grinding to a halt

Hello

1 What do you mean exactly by "grinding halt" and "computer does not work as it did?
2. do you receive any error messages?
3. has your computer becomes very slow?

You can re-create the database of Windows Media Player and see if that fixes the problem.

To do this, follow these steps:

a. exit Windows Media Player.

b. click Start , type%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in the Start search box and press ENTER.

c. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on thefile menu.

Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

d. restart Windows Media Player.

Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

-Exit Windows Media Player.

-Click Start , type%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft , in theStart search box and press ENTER.

-Select the Media Player folder, and then clickdelete on the file menu.

-Restart Windows Media Player.

Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  • How to restore default settings for administrator permissions?

    On my laptop, I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with all Service Packs, and recommended updates.
    I messed up inadvertently administrator permissions so that I can't access, move, or delete certain folders / files.  Please - how to restore the default permissions?

    There is no way to do it automatically. Restore the system to a point before that the amendments may help.

    This article gives advice: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222

    If you can open a command prompt (see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Command-Prompt-frequently-asked-questions ), you may be able to use the Takeown command and icalcs to set the permissions to the usable values.

    You may need to compare the permissions on a system that works. The Sysinternals AccessChk and AccessEnum utilities can be useful.

    More likely, you have Movie Maker and just
    can't find it.

    Try the following steps...

    Reach... Start button / run...

    Type or paste the following text in the box run:

    Moviemk.exe

    Then press on... Come in.

    If Movie Maker is on your system... He's going to start.

    Windows Movie Maker 2.1 XP cannot change one. MP4 file...
    It would need to be converted to WMV format before
    import.

    Different are many times the retail converters and freeware
    available on the net...

    The following freeware converter is an example.

    How to delete songs in Windows Media Player 11 duplicate

    Hello

    Method 1:
    I would recommend you to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player and see if the problem is resolved.

    Here's how:
    To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
    3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
    Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
    4. restart Windows Media Player.
    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
    Method 2:
    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files.

    To do this, follow these steps:
    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.
    3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
    4. restart Windows Media Player.
    Method 3:
    When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in your library if you select the option automatically added to your library when played. As a result, your library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.
    To prevent it be automatically added to your library of music files

    1. in Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

    2. on the Player tab, clear the files of music to add to the library when played check box.

    Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.

    Method 4:
    In the case where the duplicates are not removed:
    There are also third-party applications to do the job. You can search your favorite search engine and download third-party software to remove the tracks in Windows Media Player 12 duplicate.
     
    DISCLAIMER

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
