  • any copy forbidden error when you try to watch HBO in windows media center.

    I get all copying prohibited error when you try to watch HBO in windows media center. It seems that my PlayReady is corrupt. Whenever I try to update game ready to go in Media Center, it fails. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling PlayReady. Said again he must udpate, and always fails. Can someone at Microsoft PLEASE Playready works. It drives me crazy,

    These steps 1

    Still did not work.

    Then did it

    (5) download http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkId=105000 ResetDRM.exe

    (6) using winrar or winzip to extract files to ResetDRM.exe (ADVPACK. DLL CleanDRM.exe resetdrm.inf) to a temporary folder. ResetDRM does not work by itself on Windows 8 in any compatibility mode so you MUST check out it

    (7) use the Explorer to find cmd.exe to C:\Windows\System32

    (8) right click on cmd.exe and "run as Administrator".

    (9) cd to the temporary folder where you extracted ResetDRM.exe

    (10) run "CleanDRM.exe - v". A text window opens after a few seconds and check that several files have been deleted. If there is an error that a resource could not be opened for exclusive access, you may need to reboot and try again after making sure that Media Center does not start automatically

  • 80246008 error code when you try to install updates for windows 8

    I have Windows 8 and I can't install updates. I discovered this when you try to upgrade to windows 8.1 and got a prompt to complete the installation of windows updates and then upgrade. I get the massage "windows update encountered a problem" and the code is 80246008. I tried a search to windows support but I have a solution for windows 7 or vista. I have 8 7 windows not and can not follow the instructions. I also tried the automatic Troubleshooter and managed to fix some errors, but not all, and updates can't be installed.

    Hello

    If you receive the Windows Update 80246008 error when downloading updates, you might need to change the (BITS) Background Intelligent Transfer Service or the Windows event log service settings and restart each service.

    Method 1: Unregister and re-register (BITS) Background Intelligent Transfer Service.

    a. press Windows + R key and type of BIT /Unregister. and then click OK.
    b. press Windows key + R, type BITS/REGSERVER, and then click OK. After you run this command, the operation is complete.
    c. check to see if it helps.

    Method 2: I suggest you run the DISM tool and check if it helps.
    1. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, enter in the right edge of the screen, and then click Search. Or, if you use a mouse, point to the corner bottom right of the screen, then click on Search. Type the command prompt in the Start Search box, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    2 type the following commands. Press enter after each command.

    Note
    may take several minutes for each operation in order to fill.

    · DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    · DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    3. close the command prompt, and then run Windows Update again.
    DISM creates a log (% windir%/Logs/CBS/CBS.log) file that captures any issues that the tool found or fixed. %windir%\System32 is the folder in which Windows is installed. For example, the %windir%\System32 folder is C:\Windows.

  • Windows Install Cleanup Tool error when you try to install it on Windows Vista Business

    After a failed installation of Adobe CS 4 on my Windows Vista Business 32-bit system, I am now unable to update or uninstall anything Adobe on my PC. I had read several forums, Adobe specifically, when users suggested to install and use the Windows Installer Clean up tool.  I have successfully used this app in the past with Windows XP, but when I try to install on my Vista box cleaning tool I am immediately presented with the error:

    Windows Script Host: There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs".

    Does anyone know a solution for this?  I tried hunting one down a few months ago, but could not find something that solved this problem.  Or are the users of Vista GROUND just when it comes to this cleanup tool? I want desperately to remove/repair my Adobe products (which work, but cannot be updated) without the need to make a nuclear weapon and to open and lose time reloading of each piece of software, to restore the profiles of boards, etc...

    Hello NMITGuy,

    You can view the following information about the error: there is no script engine for file extension ".vbs".

  • Error when you try to publish movies with Windows Movie Maker: another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computer. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again.

    Movie Maker will not film because of "another user is running Movie Maker on this computor... publish »

    I'm trying to publish a movie on this computor in Windows Movie Maker. The files are .wmv with a band his .wav and are all stored on my computor. I performed this task with success several times and there is enough free space on the computor.

    When I click on publish, there are a few seconds where he tries to publish, but then the program goes into a gel and the dialog box appears with the following: "another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computor. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again".

    When I click Close, there is an icon of wmv on my desk with the title of my project, but it is empty. I am the only user on this computor and I am puzzled as to why this should be implemented. I tried to turn the filters but nothing helped. One thing that I tried was to publish the band sound and the titles and credits without video files and I found it worked.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you Volenteer J. How would you like to know if a .wmv file is corrupt? Is there something I can do to click the .wmv files that tell me if they are corrupt? I need to identify the files that are causing my problem.

    ==================================================
    Sorry... but it seems that I have more questions than answers.

    You said initially that you could publish the soundtrack and titles with success...
    I was wondering if you tried to add a .wmv file to see if you could publish?

    What was the source of the. WMV files? They are all from the same source?

    They were converted from another format? If_Yes_ maybe another
    Converter would be worth a try.

    You change them widely? (split, rotation, transitions...)

    There is a possibility that you could import the Windows Media .wmv files
    Encoder and convert them to... .WMV to .wmv. Seems pointless, I know...
    but it would create a new .version of the. WMV files and can fix that
    perhaps never the problem.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)
