I wonder if anyone is familiar with this type of problem with the help of a Windows Media Player for DVD videos.

Hello!
I came across a problem with my dvd on my laptop drive. The program that I use on my laptop is Media player from Windows. And the laptop will recognize the DVD and everything, but when it starts to play, it gives me this message from Windows Media Player: "Windows Media Player cannot play video DVDs. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings. »

Now I always use the old Windows XP for my laptop, but I can't seem to understand how to adjust the color quality and lower my screen resolution. Does anyone have a little step by step process that I could follow to do this?

The problem is that Windows XP does not play DVD movies in native mode. You can
have a DVD player, but it can only read DATA DVD at this time. In the order
install a DVD codec to read video DVD discs. First we will
Install this program from Microsoft and run it, and if you have a DVD
Codec, it will appear in the display window. Download this program from
here:

If it shows that you don't have a codec DVD installed, then you can
buy one on one of the links on this page:

  • With the help of registration of dynamic events for a Subvi

    Greetings to the forum LV,

    I'm having a problem with the inclusion of dynamic events in a Subvi and hope someone here can help you! Attached, is the culmination of many attempts to try to understand the inclusion of dynamic events. Basically what I'm trying to do with the screw joint is 1.) have a button that controls output PWM, 2). a speed selection menu that can enter 1 button said.) with an array of pwm values predefined; and finally, 3) to have some sort of event program which "connects" controls in 1). (and 2.) (IE, if I move the button to an exact value shown in the table, the speed selection must match this event). So far, I can say with certainty that the "speed selection" event card will not work because "New value" & "Old value" refer now to the refnum and not the selection of speed control (I intend to solve this problem after I solved this problem of the Subvi). However, the map of event engine speed PWM should work (when matches button among the values in the table, the selected speed will also report the "speed selection" control), which allowed me to reach my conclusion that the Subvi is not working.

    My reference to dynamic Subvi Event Registration: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A882E27D1D7A949386256E0D0066B91A

    You need to make a different State for 'Timeout' in the Subvi and also avoid passing the value of timeout as -1.

  • With the help of old Windows CD to install the optional component deleted Outlook Express and I need to get it back!

    We have received a Windows XP laptop from a friend and use Outlook Express for e-mail. We had a number of other things such as pilots with the laptop but not the Windows CD.  Then we wanted to reduce the size of a jpg image and I wanted to use MS Photo Editor to do what I then read on the Microsoft site that I could get by installing from any Windows CD.  Therefore, I used an old Windows XP CD from another PC, choose to install an optional component and chose as accessories to the next screen, ensure that all other options were struck down, assuming that so they would simply not be installed.  One of them was Outlook Express and Internet Explorer.  Instead of THIS the wizard DELETED Outlook Express and Internet Explorer.  When I tried to get him back by checking these options, asked me for the 2nd day of the original installation CD - which of course, I did not!  I have managed to re - download IE8 from Microsoft Download site, but of course do that for Outlook Express - and we don't have Office on this computer: (.)  Help!  (a) is it possible to reverse this process to remove/uninstall Outlook Express? (b) we now lost all our emails? (c) I already tried to go back to a previous good configuration, but that has not worked.

    Thank you in advance for advice, answers or help.

    First, make sure that OE has actually disappeared.  Go to start | Run and paste this and see if OE starts:

    "c:\program files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe".

    Including the quotes and see if OE starts.  Very often "withdrawal" OE removes just the shortcut to it.

    If this does not work, you can try reinstalling XP SP3 (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/learn-how-to-install-windows-xp-service-pack-3-sp3), but you should probably uninstall IE8 first and then reinstall it later.

    You can also go to the c:\windows\inf directory and locate the msoe5.inf file and right-click on it and choose Install and see if that fixes things.

    See if that works.

  • With the help of own certificate on SAA for SSLVPN

    Hello

    I searched the forum for a definitive answer to this question, but I'm afraid I can't find one, can someone help plase

    I have ASA a client to which I created SSLVPN Client and Clientless SSLVPN.

    The customer has of its own certificate which he wishes to use to stop this message "problem with certificate secure Web sites," boring.

    The problem is that his certificate has not been issued as a result of the SAA CSR

    Is it possible to do so and if so, how would you please.

    I told him that the ASA must generate a CSR that is then sent to Versign (for example) who then send a cert to add to the ASA.

    But he saw the link below...

    http://http :// www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa80/release/notes/asarn80.html#wp242704

    I think it's Java and I'm not sure of that step 1. is referring to:

    Step 1. Export the certificate with the PKCS12 files (with a private key)?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Regards Tony

    Yes, this link is exactly what you are after.

    Given that CSR is not generated from the ASA, you must export the certificate including the private keys for the ASA will have a copy of these private keys. The certificate you want to export to the ASA must be in PKCS12 format and you can convert a PFX format certificate (this typically includes private keys) PKCS12 using OpenSSL as described in the documentation.

    Hope that answers your question.
