• I had a virus on my computer acer laptop and thought restoring factory setings it would solve the problem. It wiped everything, including my computer windows. How can I get my computer running again and what I look at?

  the screen that appears whenever I start my computer says "windows boot manager, windows did not start." a recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

  fie: \windows\system32\winload.exe

  status: 0xc000000e

  Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.

  A factory restore should you restore your computer to its state when you bought it. If the factory restore did not work, you have to be a problem with the hardware or the original image. Do factory restore using the recovery disks, not the recovery image on the hard drive. Alternatively, you can contact Acer technical support about the error since it is their original which has been restored. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  I just accidentally deleted an email from my junk mail and then emptied. Is it possible to get it back?

  I have Hotmail and I was able to retrieve the deleted message. At the bottom of one of the screens Hotmail (it may have been the spam screen), there is a note saying 'click here' (or something like that) to get to the top of your deleted messages recently. Although even I had emptied all deleted/junk messages, MSN could display all or most of the messages because they did not have them banned in the cemetery of e-mail yet. Thank you MSN and thank you Ken Blake and vader 95 for taking the time to answer.

  Hi bobj39626549,

  We could certainly help you.

  If she asks for the previous version number, then you could acquire a version upgrade.

  You must purchase the full Acrobat version so that it can be installed and activated with the serial key.

  Hope that helps.

They are .zip files. inside are the mp3 files that I need to listen to. can someone help me.

   

  Hello

  You need to open ZIP files, which are compressed to make it smaller, then use the content
  in the application appropriate - so if the audio or video content can use WMP.

  Compress and uncompress files (zip files)
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/compress-and-uncompress-files-ZIP-files

  Although Windows has integrated ZIP, you might be more comfortable using a program
  with more features (and works with different types of compressed files).

• Why can't I play the videos to M4V format bought in iTunes in windows media player

  Original title: M4V format

  Why can't I play the videos to M4V format bought in iTunes in windows media player. Thank you

  If the video does not the restrictions of DRM (Digital Rights Management), so you can see just by changing the .mp4 extension allows it to be played in Windows Media Player, but if Apple added restrictions to the file DRM then you will be limited to such players as apple deems suitable to be used, probably iTunes or Quicktime.

• DVD video disc play is not in Windows Media Player, possible decoder problem

  A DVD was made product with a video camera of the dance show to my child. However, the dvd on my hp Pavilion 772n burner will not play it. The operating system is XP and when I try to play the DVD in Windows Media Player, I get a message "...". compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer. Interestingly, the DVD disc plays in a DVD VCR connected on television.

  What should I do to play the dvd on the pc?

  On XP you must install software that can play DVDs. Both Vista and Windows 7 that include by default.

  Here is a (quite old) Microsoft article describing what you see: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/expert/bridgman02april15.mspx

  On XP, I used to use the card nVidia PureVideo Decoder for playback DVD with Media Player. It seems to still be available, but is chargable:http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder.html

  You may want to google for a free DVD decoder for XP.

  Follow these steps and check if they help.

  Step 1:

  You can re-create the database of Windows Media Player and see if that fixes the problem.
   
  To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
   
  a. exit Windows Media Player.

  
  b. Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.
  
  c. Select all 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.
   
  d. restart Windows Media Player.
   
  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Step 2:

  
  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:
   
  a. exit Windows Media Player.
  
  b. Click Start, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.
  
  c. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
  
  d. restart Windows Media Player.

• Then the display turns off I can't get it back without force restart

  When the display switches off the power due to the low battery power & I can't get this back even when I plug it into the sector and having to force the computer to restart.
  Is there a pref somewhere to turn it off?

  Hello

  When the screen turns off, exactly? How much capacity has battery at the moment? 5 % ? More?
  Try to higher level.
  When you work with your laptop and the battery level is low battery and the alarm alert will appear in the taskbar, but you will be able to continue your work several minutes or connect the power running.

  I'm afraid that your laptop reaches the critical battery level and then maybe is too late for any action.
  Set the low battery level to 10% and when the notification is shown connect power adapter immediately.
  I imagine that the screen doesn't have to be out of all.
