  • How to remove windows media player does not exist unknown album

    Recently, after a new cd and my downloads directory staff moving in my personal music directory, Windows Media Player shows a nonexistent unknown album, that I can't remove.  How can I get rid of him?  There is no actual data or location.  I tried to remove all records of use of WMP, but the unknown album no-while is still there.  I have even uninstalled/reinstalled WMP from Windows 7 functionality, but the unknown album no-while is still there.  In addition, it causes WMP to constantly try to identify, using a lot of my bandwidth of internet connection.  Is this a Bug in WMP?  Or would it be a new computer virus (for me)?

    Jerry,

  • I sell desktop computer and need to know how to remove all of the pc?

    I sell desktop computer and need to know how to remove all of the pc?

    The most difficult part of the first paragraph is to create the boot floppies - which can be complicated and requires installation of Windows disks.

    Perhaps a third simple but effective alternative is simply to re - install Windows on your computer from the disc that came with your computer or from the recovery partition.  Resettlement will delete all files on the disc and replace them with the New Installation of Windows.  At this point, the fragments of your old files may remain on your hard drive.  So once relocation complete, download and install the freeware 'Eraser' software, run it and you want to specify the "free space" erased on your hard drive.  This will overwrite firmly all the data remains that has not already been overwritten by the Windows Installation.

    I need to know how to remove the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded tonight and my computer does not have this edit bar little to work with, so I can download the reader good Adobe and my internet was screwed up, since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I want just the old version of this back because I can't download the Adobe stuff which is necessary to protect my computer against hackers apparently not. It would have been nice to know he had a problem with the new update of Firefox BEFORE I downloaded it. I have Vista, which is usually a problem with Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run a lot of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.

    This has happened

  • Outlook express sending problem - I need to know how to remove a message that is too large to send

    I need to know how to delete a message that is too big to send and full of images out of my outlook express, whenever I open outlook it trys to send this mail and legs up to my computer...

    Hi Shawnalmus,

    Try to open outlook express offline or without connection to the network. You will be able to open the Outbox folder and delete the file.

    If you have only a stuckup email in the Outbox, close outlook express and rename the Outbox.dbx file in envoi.old. To do:

    Click on start search-> all files-> Outbox.dbx, usually its in C:\Documents and Settings\Settings\Application Data\Identities\{Identity number}\Microsoft\Outlook Express.

    I hope this helps.
