  • Cannot install Trend Micro 2012, receive error message: "your computer meets all the installation requirements, so Setup must stop."

    Original title: Problems installing Trend Micro 2012

    Tried to install Trend micro on my laptop, and towards the end of this way the message; "Your computer meets all the installation requirements, so the installer must stop." appeared. He then read "Windows update," I clicked on the link and also called microsoft who gave me the link updates from SP1 to SP2. I did (ran for almost 2 hours!) and recorded. I then checked the edition of windows under system and it has not saved the update even if it is registered and installed to my files. Tried to do the foregoing twice, still the same problem. Rang Dell and they sought to find an answer to the problem, but did everything they could. Still no answer to the problem after all. I have Windows Vista Home Basic as my operating system and installed Trend micro in the past with no problems. (Not sure if the following has nothing to do with it, but thought it might be useful a mention). I changed to Microsoft Office 2007, which has already been installed on my laptop for Office 2003, because I found it difficult from the laptop to the desktop and I didn't really want to pay for the upgrade of my office, if I didn't need it.

  • How to watch a movie on your computer on your TV?

    Some said I could do it and I don't have any idea how if this is true I would be grateful someone tell me how to do this.

    Some said I could do it and I don't have any idea how if this is true I would be grateful someone tell me how to do this.

    How do you connect a computer to 2 monitors (1 may be a regular TV) depends on the graphics/video and maps its installed on your computer and control programs and drivers associated with them. For example, if you have a Dell, the same computer model number may have different standard versions of luxury of the mentioned cards installed, and often deluxe versions are with supplement. If you have a desktop computer with a monitor, look where the monitor plugs into the computer, probably at the back of the computer. You may see a variety of outlets to connect another monitor close.  A simple method is to use the s-video output if your computer and TV both have taken s-video. You will need to buy a s-video cable to connect the computer to the TV. You also need an audio cable to connect the left and right audio channels to your TV. There are several other types of connections, the best being hdmi which is often used to give the best digital HD TV connection, if you can play HDTV on your computer. Usually you will do no damage to the computer and the TV if you make a mistake, if you unplug both of the wall outlet before making the connection. If you have a friend who has a computer connected to a TV before, it could save you a lot of time. Many new laptops will have a plug or two to connect to a second monitor, which can be a TV.

    Once you're connected, don't panic if you see or hear anything. It has progrums associated with graphics/video cards that may have to be executed. These vary somewhat for different cards, so you might have to read the documentation provided with your computer and the graphics card. At worst, you will need to know the manufacturer and model of your card number and go to their site for more information. Once you know how to find the adjustment programme, you probably have several choices to make a clone of your primary monitor as do the second monitor, it allows to extend the width of the first monitor, or use it in a way that a video appears on the second monitor when you watch a video on a web page that has other material such as text. These adjustments may be a little difficult the first time that you do, and you can get reversed, disabled monitors, etc if you're not careful. When you select a setting, many programs give you a few seconds of viewing with the new setting, and allows you to cancel if something seems wrong on your computer screen or television. If you have any doubt, cancel and read the instructions carefully. Some programs to automatically detect if you have a second monitor/TV attached. However this does not always work, but usually there are instructions to overcome this problem. However, to find instructions on how sometimes is a chore. Even if you can find a friend who has done such before adjustments, this can help greatly.

    If you don't have on your computer and HDTV hdmi Sockets, all you have to do is to buy an hdmi cable to connect your computer to HDTV. This a connection will take care of all video and audio connections. However, to avoid the pain, you should check the computer and TV to ensure that they use the same type of hdmi and make sure that your hdmi cable is suitable for this type. If you play a Blu - ray disc on the computer, it can not show on with HDTV, because some Blu - ray media are put in place so that they can be viewed on the monitor a digital connection at the same time. So if you have a digital connection to your computer and HDTV screen, you can't see the Blu - ray movie. Some computer programs of Blu - ray will inform you of this problem, others will not play the Blu - ray disc. You can probably thank the movie companies to this unfriendly feature of the consumer. The solution is to move the computer or TV monitor on analog input. I heard there are programs to overcome this problem. I have no idea in which countries, if any, use of these programs may be illegal. So do not use these programs unless first know you what is the legal risk, if he is, to use in your country.

  • Windows Media Player will not play error of MTS files that your computer works at low memory. Quit other programs, and then try again

    I am running Windows 7, 64 bit, home premium on a Dell Studio 1558 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD4500-5100 graphics card and an Intel Core i3. It has 4 GB of RAM.

    When I try to read files MTS using Windows Media Player I get the error message "your computer is low on memory. Quit other programs, and then try again,"even with no other programs running. Windows Media Player will play other types of video files without difficulty.

    Any suggestions as to what can be the cause of the problem and how to fix?

    TBH I'm not sure.

    All I can say is on my desk, I have not loaded a pack of codecs only support of any kind and WMP12 plays my MTS files very well. Supported by this statement in Windows Media Player 12 is also capable of playing AVCHD formats (. ) M2ts et . MTS ). [13]" from - http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Media_Player and the fact that in WMP12 - "Media files (all types)" MTS has listed as an acceptable format.

    My office has an AMD/ATI HD5670, and like I said seems to play.

    1. Have you tried to run a full anti-recent virus scan? If this isn't the case, update your antivirus program and run a scan full to see if it finds problems.
    2. Then try a sfc/scannow scan to see if it detects and fixes something.
    3. Just checked, you have installed WMP12? (it should be, but just a double check).

    This type of problem (or similar) has developed before items such as http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-pictures/Windows-Media-Player-and-low-memory-issues/bb4bf226-8bd0-41A5-9eed-9be08e6d3bdb and  http://www.TomsHardware.co.UK/answers/ID-1699934/computer-running-low-memory-Windows-Media-Player.html and some people said re-register the DLL of WMP files helped.
