    Hello

    You can navigate to C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player and check if the wmplayer file is listed. If it is there, and then create a shortcut on the desktop or right-click on "wmplayer" and chose "Pin to start menu" and check if it helps.

  • Touchpad has completely stopped working

    Hey, my touchpad completely stopped working. I tried to download the driver and restart and the stuff, but nothing seems to work. There was formerly an icon for it down to the right on the toolbar, but that's even more here, it's like the software so that it just doesn't even exist anymore.

    Can anyone suggest a solution please?
    Thank you

    Hello!

    You can disable and enable the touchpad with FN + F9. Select this check box, because maybe it s disabled.

    Have you tested an external mouse? You have the same problem with it?

  • Media Player Classic suddenly stopped working

    Well, after the last update of the operating system, Media Player Classic has stopped running. Whenever I am trying to open a file, it gives an error that the program has stopped running. Vista offers to download the new version of it - then just out of curiosity, I tried and new version did not work at all either. It was obvious. So what's happened and what should I do to get it working again? I know there are many other programs use it as well but I like this one, and I would really like to continue to use it. And certainly, I don't like that updates break programs and drivers.

    Hi Riksu,

    Media player classic is a third party application and Microsoft is not aware of the mode of operation.  You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the codecs and check if it works.

    If it doesn't work then you will need to contact the manufacturer for assistance.

  • My keyboard for my Acer aspire switch 10 has completely stopped working

    I use my Acer 10 for about six months and had improved to win 10 just now with no problems.  This morning the keyboard stopped working.  I checked the Tablet contacts, clean them with a brush and a cleaning and not restarted, no chance.  The keyboard when it starts allows me to enter the PIN code and I have a USB mouse attached to the keyboard that works, but none of the keys work when I am connected to Windows. If the screen times out and I try to enter the PIN code again, nothing.   I can navigate around using the mouse, but not have the ability to enter information on keyboard.  I'm stumped and would apprecaite any suggestions welcome.  Acer has been great so far?

    I solved the problem!  It turns out it is 10 Windows that caused the problem.  Filter keys were turned on somehow and they disable the keyboard for users with disabilities. I discovered this on another machine when it happened too, but this time a unrecognized icon appeared in my system tray.  The icon has been for these filter keys and when I turned off their keyboard is back.  How this stupid thing got switched on I don't have a clue.  The original pc with the problem did not show a filter key icon in the system tray, so I was puzzled, did not know they existed.  Something for others to check if this is the case for them.  Thanks for your help.

  • The last 3 times I clicked on auto updates of firefox firefox has completely stop working and I have to open the Explorer and again to download firefox.

    I'm afraid to update firefox since the last 3 times I did so firefox stop working and had to be reinstalled.

    I'm glad it works again. This is the important result and thanks for posting back.

    Repeated to uninstall and reinstall Firefox often do not help.
    Clicking on the pop-up of unknown or doubtful origin, it is always a bad idea.

    Screenshots will help if you are still having problems.

    Connects to any future reference is not to the internet, after a new installation may be related to problems with the firewall or your security software not recognizing Firefox.

  • Mini Display Port has completely stopped working

    So I bought a Mini Display Port to HDMI adapter and it has worked perfectly well for more than a month. That's until 3 days ago. Out of nowhere I plugged my HDMI into the adapter and the power led of the monitor turned on and after a few seconds of reading, "No Signal". I have to hold the power cord in the more odd angles to get even for the screens of mirror, and even in this case, the screen is static at 80%. I looked online and tried every single tip or solution I've seen without success. All my HDMI cords are fully functional as I tried each one with my PS4 and works perfectly, so this isn't the issue. I've never had problems like this with any other Apple computer. Probably because no other computer using mini display ONLY ports. If anyone has had this problem and found a solution please let me know, if I can try to get this working. I have a MacBook Pro 15 in. mid-2012 with the processor i7 under OS X 10.8.5

    This suggests a possible problem with the cord.  I would like to make an appointment with an Apple store genius bar and I tested the unit and the power cord.

    Ciao.

  • Stream laptop HP 11: laptop has completely stopped working

    I've been on gmail, I try to print an e-mail when I got a message saying had stopped the page and I would like to wait or kill him. So I pushed to kill and took me to the desktop. On the desktop, I couldn't do anything to work so I pushed the power button. The power button starts blinking and the screen went black. Then I pushed the button of power again and the screen came blue and it won't do anything.

    My daughter also said, that the left speaker is not working.

    I'm on a tablet now and it does not work well most of the time, so if it takes a few minutes to answer, it's because I have a problem with the tablet.

    I hope someone here can help me with this little mystery. Also recently 2 days ago everything worked fine on my Vista Home Premium machine.

    Hi rmetz527,

    To access the CBS, you need to run as administrator or connection with the default Administrator account.  Please send the newspaper here.  Also, did you try to scan for viruses and malware? It appeared that some system files are corrupt.  It is preferable to the SFC scan, malware scan, virus analysis and error checking once again in fashion without failure.

  • Family safety on Windows 7 has completely stopped working, even if she pretends to be on

    Help, please!  The Windows Live Family Safety filter worked well on two of my computers for a few months.  All of a sudden it does not filter anything, well that Family Safety site shows that the filter is activated and the work for each account.  I tried to turn it works, change settings, updating / refreshing the filter, etc., and it did not help.  I discovered and removed a Trojan horse (win32/Neop! gmb) and some adware (win32/BetterSurf) that were on my computer.  Then I tried to uninstall the filter of parental control on both computers, closing my account of the safety of the family and he put everything back in place from scratch.  That does not help either.  The filter will still let us get any site and see adult pictures or videos, even if the filter says it is on and functioning "normally."  I don't know what else to try.

  • Windows Media Player closes whenever I open it with the message "Windows Media Player has stopped working"

    Hello

    I have a XC of Aspire Acer-605, i5 with Windows 8 (bought 4 weeks ago)

    When I open Windows Media Player 12, if I play music or not, in less than a minute, a box appears that says:

    "Windows Media Player has stopped working: a problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly." Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

    The only option then is to click on "close the program".

    When I try to listen to music on CyberLink Power Media Player 12. I have the pop box saying:

    "Play.exe stopped working: Please send us this report to help us solve the problem and improve this software."

    The option only two then are "CANCEL" or to type my email and the problem then click on 'send report '. I did the second and nothing heard back.

    XBOX media player works, but I don't want to use it.

    I already scanned with McFee virus and it found nothing. I recently remove a virus from my computer. The problems may have started after that.

    Can you help me to solve my problem?

    After days and days of the trial, an online chat with a technician Microsoft (which was useless) I finally found a suggestion that worked... I had to create a new user account with administrative privileges. Media worked perfectly in this new account! I then spent ages downloading the files from my old account before deleting completely. It took a long time and has been a real pain, but at least it works now :-). Good luck to all. I hope this works for you xx
