media sharing/share my media in Windows Media 11/XP drive does not

I use WMP 11/XP. Checking the box "share my media" and then ok, has no effect. I get the symbol of the glass hour for about 20 seconds, and then the 'OK' button lights back up as ever, I clicked it. I have to click Cancel to get by. Network and router works properly with a Denon AVR 3310ci. Tried to reinstall WMP 11, firewall disabled, no change. Need a little help.

  • Satellite 4000CDS: Windows XP OS - graphic driver does not

    I got my 4000cds Satellite some time ago, but I have recently installed windows xp on everybody says this does not work, but it worked for me fine with the exception of the graphics driver.

    Hello

    Well, this unit is an oldie and was not shipped with a Windows XP.
    That's why I find graphic drivers for WinXP on the Toshiba driver page.
    I studied a little on the net and it seems that this device has been delivered with a graphics card of the chip & Technologies VGAC B65555.

    You can try to googel some driver for Xp, but I don't know if you can find something useful.
    However, you must be a happy man that WinXP works on this good old classic and you need ONLY the graphics card driver.
    If you do not find a compatible if you use the standard driver for Windows XP OS.

  • I would like to re - install Windows Vista, but my drive does not all service packs. Download Windows Vista with service pack already on it?

    so, I'm running vista 64 bit basic, I want to do a fresh install,

    but my drive is very early (noservice packs ect) can I download of ms a basic family of complete up-to-date vista 64-bit with sp2 with my cd key? or should I shut up and make from my cd and cope? If I do a reinstall should I reinstall all my programs as well?

    Hello yaleblor,

    You can download the full SP2 for Vista from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16468

    Save the file to a CD/DVD or USB key.

    Once you have the service pack downloaded file, you can use your current Vista CD to install a fresh copy of Windows Vista on your C: drive. Once you have installed Vista you can install service pack 2 directly from the CD/DVD or USB you originally stored it on. All you then need to do is to run the Windows updates to update your system completely.

    You can find out how to do a clean install by looking at this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/install_windows_vista.htm

    After you install Windows Vista, you will need to re - install all your programs, so make sure that you have all the programs by hand before starting to consider reinstalling Windows.

  • Dell XPS M1530 Windows reinstalled Vista, network driver does not

    Hi, I had to replace the hard drive on my Dell XPS M1530 because of the complete failure of hard drive.

    I installed Windows Vista and also installed all the drivers from Dell. All of them seem to work fine except the driver of Ethernet controller and wireless adapter one. I tried to download the drivers from Dell Web site, but who moved it - it comes up with this message: "the device could not be detected. Installation interrupted.

    In other words, that I can't connect to the internet, so using computer for a friend right now. Is there a driver I can download to make it work?

    Hi, thanks for all your suggestions. I tried to look at all the possibilities in terms of manually install the drivers, but nothing has worked.

    So in the end I bought a USB key external wi - fi and with that, I managed to connect to the internet. Once connected, the laptop must have then auto-téléchargé the right driver for the internal modem, because a few days later, I managed to connect to the internet even without needing the key external wi - fi.

  • Type of media in bulk update does not but no one is

    Just like the subject line said.  I have several DVD box sets that I imported into iTunes.  As is the norm, they are important as Home Video.  In the past when I did it, I select all, do a command-I, they set TV show in the drop-down type of media.  Now, this does not work.  I selected all, did command + I, then select TV Show, but after you click OK, nothing happens, at all.  If I select individual files and that the changes to the parameters of type of media and sticks.

    Based on research to date:

    • I don't have iTunes that match activated
    • The files are read-only
      • They have been this way since day one, and this process worked in the past

    Try just to a couple at a time. I wonder if you have a bad file in there.

    I also installed the Microsoft UAA Audio (SP33566) from the HP website. and it's a successful installation.

    problem comes when I try to install the SP35682 (Conexant Audio) while "initializing app", it comes with an error

    "Driver Installation Failed: could not find the device of MEDIA for this driver."

    and on the Windows Device Manager, there is always a "PCI Device" outstanding pilots. I guess this Conexant Audio devices.

    about his work until now.

    I tried to use 3rd party software to find the correct drivers (such as DriversMax and Driver Checker) and it does not help!

    Help, please.

    PS: in the past, before installing the new windows, it works very well with Windows XP only.

    Thanks in advance.

  • the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os

    Hello

    I got this message when recovery... I can't get the windows... I have the CD recovery, but when I boot it... It gives me this message

    the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os

     


    How do I solve this problem

    Hello

    Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the same version that originally shipped with your laptop - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, that is the file you need to download ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly file on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Image is - Digital River.

    Images of Windows 7.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-Windows-7-by-phone.aspx

    All pilots additional and the software you may need are located by entering your full model number or Nr here.

    As I suggested previously, conversion to a format like

    You can see the files in the "Multimedia content" pane

    Open the drop directory window and choose an output folder.
    (This is where you will find your converted file)

    On the left, click on the button "encode".

    Wait... video encoding CPU intensive and can
    be a slow process. It is always best if you do not have
    multi-task while files are encoded.

    Now... try import you again. File WMV in Movie Maker.

    The combo DVD/CD on my laptop drive isn't in Device Manager or Windows Explorer.  The door is not ejected.  You must use a paperclip, poking into the hole to open it.  I also re - it sitting, but it changed nothing.  We had this laptop for 1.5 years and the disk worked great until yesterday when trying to install Starcraft II.  Installation failed and it has messed up also the DVD/CD drive.

    We read some other difficulty advice and tried the upper and lower filters in the registry, but there was no entires of upper and lower filters in the key.

    The specifications of the laptop are:

    HP Pavilion dv7

    Processor Dual-Core Mobile RM-72 2.10 GHz AMD Turion X 2

    4 GB OF RAM

    64-bit Windows Vista

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
    drive from someone with the same model.

    Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
    nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

    DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
    devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

    I hope this helps.

    Since you probably need creation for Windows 8.1 installation media on flash stick to do anyway the own 8.1 Windows Installer , you might do as well on the contrary much better Clean install Windows 10 since the installation in the link worked for everyone who tried without a single complaint, overcomes all and every other issue had with 10 Windows and gives the best installation of any Windows OS We can possibly have.
