  • How is it that Pogo games load fine with an older version of Java (the ones they say I should disable) but does not load with the latest Java?

    Pogo works fine on older versions of Java, but the games not load not on the latest version. I did all the usual things, cleared the cache of the browser and Java cache, uninstalled Java then reinstalled it, done in so that was allowed, blah, blah, blah... I did have problems with the latest version of Firefox.

    Yes, this version is is more updated and can contain security risks, then it will be probably best to disable java plugins in firefox > addons > plugins when you do not use the on game sites in order to stay safe on other sites. This is why I have also suggested to contact the pogo site to update their content so that it can be reused with the java plugin updated.

  • Media player lost all music (but not music videos) and does not load the files in

    Player was working fine, then night emptied all music files and now will load all of the files, but will play them if you transfer to an unsavable playlist

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft community!

    I understand that Windows media player has lost all the music. I will try to help you with this question.

    Try these methods and check whether it is resolved:

    Method 1:

    Check the settings of the library in windows media player. Steps to follow:

    i. open Windows media player

    II. click on organize

    III. Select Options, select the Library tab

    IV. in the title of the newsletters of automatic support for files

    v. Select only adds the missing information

    Method 2:

    Rebuild the media database and check if that helps. Follow these steps to rebuild the database:

    i. Click Start, in the search box, type in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player

    II. remove the Media player folder

    III. to restart the computer, the Media player folder will be automatically recreated. Check whether the problem is resolved.

    This problem occurs because the Windows Media Player library database is corrupted.

    Method 3: To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

    3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.

    Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

    3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.

    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Please report if you are still having the problem. I will be happy to provide you with the additional options that you can use to get the problem resolved.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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
