  • What is the difference between windows 7 ultimate, ultimate, ultimate ultimate K and KN N?

    I tried to find different sites, but they are not useful?

    After a legal action by the EU, I believe that it is, Microsoft is forced to sell versions of win7 (or any other OS) without IE, WMP, etc., since the EU accused of monopolizing the respective markets of the program by combining these programs with win7 (or any other OS).
    These versions of win7 lack IE, WMP etc. are dubbed the "N" versions and are not for sale in the United States (the missing applications in N versions can be restored with a update available here )
    The K who I think are the same as the ones N.

  • WMP/WMC is unable to play DVD audio

    I had a problem for a lot of time with Windows Media Player/Windows Media Center PERSON DO seems able to diagnose or difficult. WMP all my audio files, CDs and the sound system plays very well. However, whenever I try to play a DVD, the video game played very well but there is no audio data. Then, I lose all the sounds until I restart. I downloaded a freeware program that allows me to see the video and hear the sound of DVDs very well as well as the material works very well. The problem is with WMP/WMC.  I tried to reload/upgrade to update WMP, but that did not work. I can be lack of Codecs, but I have no idea of who or how to download the forms.  The problem is probably with WMP/WMC, but no support, my manufacturer of computers or Microsoft seems to be able to solve the problem. I think I'll use VLC Media Player as my default DVD player.  Any suggestions?

  • WMP 12 is distotred with muted vocals on some songs

    I got this new PC desktop (Windows 8.1) for about eight months, but the WMP 12 has never worked properly, with the voice of muted on some files. I imported my music library of my old XP Pc and have added more CD to the collection. Initially, I thought that I had a problem of speaker, but after changing the speaker systems three times the vocals on some tracks muted persists, as well on the new and the old library files. I've updated from Windows 10, but the problem remains

    In the "good old day" of Windows XP, I would have just uninstalled and reinstalled the player, but it is not currently possible.

    Accidentally fixed!

    Was in a good two and eight, may not resume the PC because I use it everyday for my small business, and the last time that I did, PC World lost for three months. So I decided to see if a new sound card would make the case and try and fix it myself.

    Go to Device Manager to find out which card is currently used and found an update drivers option.  Updated and installed the drivers, rebooted the PC and the thing now sings like a Songbird in the spring.

    I am so impressed to bits, and it does not cost a penny.

    not for lack of Windows, Chinese just poor manufacture.

  • WMP 12 allow Internet access cannot be enabled - a bug?

    I had problems with two of my computers, both running Windows 7 Professional edition. Windows Media Player 12 has an option to stream multimedia content on the internet, an option called "allow access to Media home...". "I successfully connected two computers to a Windows Live ID, indicated such account.

    The problem occurs when I try to activate the option "allow access to home media." Normally, you should select this option and (assuming that you have already linked to a Live ID account), then you would get a UAC prompt, and then a confirmation that internet access is now enabled. Now, instead, there are not one, but two prompts UAC and the option is never activated. Very frustrating. The two guests come from wmpconfig.exe with the option - RMESharingOn. These two don't apparently but without error message. Is this a bug or maybe something is blocking the action? All other options continuously can be activated.

    One last thing to note: I had this problem for awhile on a desktop build that took the professional edition installed since the beginning. My laptop was originally the home edition of Windows 7 Premium and never had this problem. I have clean recently installed up to professional, and the problem also exists on it. It is perhaps related to the professional edition?

    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Tyler

    Well, I just figured out my problem.  Previously, I had put the "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" to disabled in order to reduce overhead costs because I wasn't using it.  All I had to do was turn it back on, and voila, streaming Internet can now be activated.

    So:

    • Start-> type 'services.msc'-> enter
    • Scroll down and find "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service.
    • Right click on it-> properties
    • Change the startup type to "automatic (Delayed).
    • Click on the button 'START' of the service
    • Click OK

    After having done that, I now get the confirmation dialog box when you try to enable Internet Streaming in WMP.

    It seems to me that this should be considered a bug lack-of-good-feedback.  WMP should check to see if the service is running when a user tries to activate Internet sharing and give an error message if it is not (or better yet, give the user the option to activate it without using services.msc).

  • WMP 11 - if it's not broken why fix it?

    Dear all,

    Please excuse my lack of knowledge, but I mostly use my computer to listen to music and was OK when I was using WMP 11 on my old Vista laptop. It's dead, so I've upgraded to a PC with Windows 7 and WMP 12.
    The problem is I find it difficult to edit new music, and worse yet, he seems to have removed from a lot of old songs that I know were there before.
    They are always there if I go into properties and look at the external hard drive, but aside from the title of the song, the rest of the info (artist, Album, Genre etc title) has been deleted.
    I long for the simple life and would appreciate any help.
    Yours sincerely
    Ownshook
    PS - I think I'd be very happy to return to version 11, is this possible?

  • No results found for: asf codec missing in wmp 12 (this forum)

    My computer is a clean install of Windows 7 x 64 built with a (Windows 7 compatible) Intel DG45ID motherboard.  I had problems with his stuttering during playback of AVCHD video files (files of camera video sony with file extension ".m2ts"). This problem occurs if I installed Intel high-definition audio driver or install the driver of Windows 7 by default.

    To test my basic configuration of windows, I went to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992 which explains Windows Media (.wma, .wmv, .asf, .wm) formats.  I downloaded the test files and when I tried to play "wmt.asf", that should be played by Windows Media Player 12 (installed by installing Windows 7) I get an error message:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play, burn, rip, or synchronize the file because a required audio codec is not installed on your computer."

    Based on Microsoft support link above, it is my understanding that the required codec is installed when installing Windows 7.  So my question is, 'how to WMP 12 lack of codecs and solve these problems?'

    To eliminate all the other issues, I built a new computer TEST last night with DH55HC motherboard the Intel processor i5 - 660 and 4 GB of RAM. I will install Windows 7 x 64 (with Intel and all updates Windows 7 drivers, but no other software) and see if I get the same results. If I do, my conclusion is that Windows 7 does not load the required codec.

    316992 KB has not been updated since May 2008, so it contains no information on Windows Media Player 12.

    Test1:  I installed Windows 7 and Intel drivers (need driver LAN for Internet access) on the new computer TEST.  I played a number of media files which all worked without problem: mp3, rmi, mid, wma, wav, wmv, mpg, and m2ts AVCHD video (m2ts file extension) played without stuttering audio and the audio and video were also synchronized.  I got tired of playing an asf file example I downloaded on the Internet and he also played without any problems.  I went back to KB316992 and tried to download and play the sample file "wmt.asf", which resulted in the same error message reported earlier.

    Conclusions:  1. the files were corrupted on the original computer when I installed Nero 8 Essentials and then uninstalled Nero to install a newer version, Nero 9 Reloaded (this was the only installed software that is multimedia).  I don't know why Nero Software caused corruption, but Nero 8 Essentials is not compatible with Windows 7.  Information on "Nero 9 Reloaded" indicates the compatibility of Windows 7.

    2. the example of asf to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992 file does not work in Windows Media Player 12 and should be fixed or replaced when KB 316992 is updated to include Windows Media Player 12 (or whatever the action Microsoft decides is appropriate).

  • WMP - library is partially damaged?

    I noticed in my library displayed in WMP 12, for a good part of my music, that it is listed under "Unknown".

    I still use iTunes to import my music in my music folder, and give them the same ID3 tags, and each file MP3 itself is in perfect condition in my library folder.

    But inside WMP, it sporadically tells me that different albums lack information and groups of hundreds of songs within an album group 'unknown '. I tried to repair the library several times, and it will always end up with a few albums missing illustrations, or group the different albums in the catigory 'unknown '.

    I find this curious because the files themselves are there in the computer and files, but WMP does not seem to be able to catigorize all. I ran the resolution of problems, which tells me that my library is corrupt. I delete the WMP library and then restore, only so he can still tell me that a lot of albums lack information.

    Is it a case where the application data must be deleted? Or should I try and unload/reload completely WMP?

    Thank you.

    I believe that I have resolved, at least for my particular issue.

    For all the music in the "Unknown" category, I went back to iTunes, changed their 2.2 to 2.3 ID3 tags, and then they immediately appear, correctly, in WMP.

    Honestly, I don't know a thing about ID3 tags, so I always kept at 2.2 because it is the default value. Doing a quick search on Google, it seems that 2.3 is now the standard for music, while responses it seems.

  • iPhone storage mystery! (Lack of 42 GB of storage space!)

    OK the Forums of Discussion... it is a mystery.

    My father has been to complain his iPhone 64 GB 6 by saying that he did not have enough storage. I thought it would be a simple solution like the removal of unused applications, turning on iCloud photo library and the optimization of the photo, but what I discovered has totally confused me.

    My father's phone shows that it used 55.2 GB in settings > general > storage & use iCloud > manage storage. Yet when I add everything in the storage management screen it is only 13.2 GB, a difference of 42 GB.

    I decided to do the same exercise with my phone. It is said that I used 28.1 GB and when I add the items in stock to manage, I get 23.2 GB which is a much more reasonable difference of only 4.9 GB.

    So where is the lack of 42 GB?

    Any help would be great. Thank you!

    When I go to settings > general > storage & use iCloud I see two options "managing storage. One is local storage 'my device' and the other is iCloud.

    Do you see the two options (1), (2) your device?

    Hey Jeremiah-OOP.

    It seems that you went to delete the Bootcamp partition, but the utility has failed during the process. Now in disk utility, the Bootcamp partition does not appear but your primary partition is always smaller and lack of space that used to be under the partition Bootcamp.

    Let's take a look at this article: disk utility (El Capitan): partitioning a physical disk

    Expand a volume

    If you have several volumes on a device, and one of them is running out of space, you will be able to expand without losing the files it contains.

    To enlarge a volume, you must delete the volume that comes after him on the device, and then move the end point of the volume you want to enlarge in the freed space. You cannot expand the last volume on a device.

    WARNING: When you delete a volume, all data thereon is erased. Don't forget to back up your data before you start.

    You may need to use disk utility to expand your primary volume to take advantage of all the hard drive again.

  • Time Capsule backups fail 'lack of space'

    I have two 3 TB time Capsules airport here at home network with an iMac and MacBook Pro 2.  All computers are up-to-date with the latest version of the software for Mac OS x (10.11.5) and the two time Capsules have been updated with the latest firmware yesterday (May 30, 2016).  I get the same error message that does not respect the backup, or for both, readers of time capsule due to lack of space.

    How is that possible?  I thought that TC permanently erased the last backup to make room for the next backup... aren't these differential backups?  Are a number of safeguards supposed to be kept?  Or over a certain period of time?

    Is the solution here to add a few more disk space for the time capsule airport with USB drives?

    Thanks for your help.

    John

    Time Machine usually works very well to delete backups of older (and small) "extra" type on the Time Capsule, but if the disk is full, and all of a sudden you add lots of new data to your Mac as an update of the operating system, or enlarge them or video files... which adds a lot of new data to your computer... and then the Time Machine can not delete older files to make room the new, much larger that new normal backup which would be necessary.

    When this happens, you have 3 Basic, in order of most expensive options on the bottom:

    • Add another new Time Capsule and start backups to go
    • Add a USB to a Time Capsule and start to go back up
    • Clear the Time Capsule disk and start over again with the backups with the drawback that you will lose your history backups

    In fact, there is a fourth option... that I do not recommend... and it is to go back into your files to backup using the Finder and delete older backups manually.  The drawback here is that it is a long and tedious process, and there is a very real danger that the entire file backup for Mac may be corrupt, make the file useless.
