My windows 7 MediaPlayer is constantly updating my music & causing problems of duplication. How can I stop this?

My Media Player from Windows 7 is constantly updated my music. IT will duplicate Albums and add a lot of numbers that don't mean a thing. Cannot sync music to my SUB. Geek Squad says this is normal, but I do not think them. He just started a week after 6 months of use.

  • When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. How can I stop this?

    When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. A tab is the link that I opened and the second tab is just a generic Mozilla tab with links to 12 pages like Facebook, Youtube, etc. This tab opens on top too, so I always have to close to get what I'm looking for. How can I stop this from happening?

    Hello. Thanks for all the posts on this topic. I have the same problem, as described by the op. But, while I use Avast, I have NOT the add-on from Astromenda which has been mentioned. However, I have the SB installed toolbar, and it has been recently updated, 29/12. I suspect that it is the culprit, if this problem is in fact not caused by an update of Firefox (my tiles have recently been reset on new tabs, and I suspect that Firefox for this problem).

    I am ready to remove the toolbar from the SB, but prefer to keep it (Yes, I admit I'm stupid) If this annoying 'new window = 2 tabs with 'new tab' at the top' would just leave.

    Apart from the removal of the toolbar SB... does anyone have suggestions? I don't see that all recently added add-ons/extensions that I don't recognize, apart from the update of the toolbar of SB.

    Updated: 5 minutes after this announcement, I disabled the toolbar of SB and restarted Firefox. No change.

    My ACER laptop running VISTA family premium has many errors I do not understand why and don't know how to stop.

    Is how important it? Is this normal? Should I post each event with details to see if it can be interrupted?

    For example my lap top works generally OK but Explorer windows (explorer.exe) crashes with a message that it fails and restarts. The error code and events are

    There could be several causes for this problem; I suggest you try the following steps to correct the problem:

    Method 1: Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

    Follow step 1 in the link below,
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

  • Since the update to El Capitan, during the scrolling of the screen guard snapping back to the top of the screen. How can I stop this?

    Since the update to El Capitan, during the scrolling of the screen guard snapping back to the top of the Web page. How can I stop this?

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

    Hi UKuser7,

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.

    Automatic logon is disabled in Windows 7 by default for security reasons. If it is enabled, anyone who can physically access the computer can also gain access to everything on the computer, including the networks that it is connected.

    This setting is only recommended for cases where the computer is physically secure.

    To set up Windows 7 to connect to the desktop automatically, follow the steps below.

    1) click Start , and then enter the following command in the start search box:

    Netplwiz

    2) press ENTER.

    This opens the Advanced user accounts Control Panel window.

    (3) in the users tab, uncheck the box next to users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

    4) click apply at the bottom of the user accounts window.

    (5) when the newspaper automatically on the dialog box appears, enter the user name for which you want to automatically connect to Windows 7. Then enter your password in the two areas where it is requested.

    6) click on the OK button.

    7) click OK in the window user accounts to complete the process.

    Thereafter, your PC at startup, Windows 7 will be automatically connect.

    Ticket back for your comments and concerns.

    Hello

    1. you receive an error message/code?

    2. is the question confined with Internet explore?

    I suggest the following steps and check if it solves the problem.

    Method 1: I suggest you put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

     

    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    Note: After you perform a clean boot, follow these as to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state from the article above.

    Method 2: search your computer of viruses and malware.

    Viruses and malicious software (malware) can cause often Internet Explorer slow down or stop working.

    Microsoft safety scanner

    Important: When performing analysis on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when parsing tent repair this sector if all available on which data can be lost.

    Method 3: Let us first start the SFC scan and check if there are any file system corruption. You need windows XP disk to perform the analysis.

    1 put the Windows XP CD in the CD-ROM.
    2. click on 'Quit' if the auto-menu appears.
    3. click on 'Start', then click on 'run '.
    4. Type "SFC/scannow" (without the quotes) in the "Open" box, then click on 'OK '.

    Note: There is a space between "SFC" and "/ Scannow".

    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    I would say that a copy would be the first thing I want to stop doing,

    If you want to move a file, then move

    Make a right-click dragging you will offer choices.

    Left-click dragging does not.

    If you right click and select copy, Stop and use to cut,

    Or use Alt + E and move to the folder.

  • The firefox window "jumps" when he loses or gains focus. How can I stop this?

    This seems to have started with the latest version of Firefox - 20.0.1
    Whenever the focus leaves or enters the window of Firefox, the Firefox window "jumps." Can I stop this?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.
