Hello goatman42749,

·         You have media files stored on multiple sites?

·         Since when are files duplicated in Media Player is due to recent changes to the media?

Here's what you can try:

1. start Windows Media Player.

2. press F3 on your keyboard to open the add to the library of the find computers dialog box.

3. click on the Browse button to locate the file on your computer so that your library contains invalid entries. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

If you are not sure what duplicate in your library entry is not valid, you can add a path column to display your library by following the instructions in the last question. Specify the folder on your computer that matches the path invalid file displayed in your library.

1. click on the search button.

If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by double-clicking the invalid entry and then clicking on delete.

If you have a large number of entries in doubles in your library (or if your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library

Here's how you can create the media library:

1. close Windows Media Player.

2. Locate the database on the computer that contains the entries of your library. In general, the library database file (CurrentDatabase_219.wmdb) is located in the following directory:

directories SystemDrive\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player

3. right click on the file and then click Rename.

4. rename the file by changing its file .bak extension.

5 start the player. When you do so, a new database of library file is created.

6. press F3 on your keyboard to open the add to the library of the find computers dialog box.

7. click the Browse button to search for a folder on your computer that contains digital media files. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

8. click on the search button.

The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder you specify and add to your library. If you have your files and playlists stored in different folders on your computer, you may need to search for files several times, by specifying a different folder every time.

Avoid duplicate music files to avoind the music automatically added. To prevent music files to be automatically added to your library:

1. in Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

2. on the Player tab, clear the files of music to add to the library when played check box.

Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.

Thank you

  • I lost all the photos, files and programs, can someone help me please?

    I did a system restore (I think) and lost all the photos, files and programs.  Can someone tell me please how do I get back them?

    Lillie

    Looks like your user profile has been corrupted in some way and XP connected to a new profile.  This means that when you connect, you see one of your stuff and can be also lack all the other programs you may have installed previously.

    Note that the system restore do not know or care about the personal files on your system.

    Unless there's a disaster or instead of a system restore you done a system recovery files would be still on your system somewhere - you just find them... and when you find them, you can correct what happened.  If you have made a recovery of the system instead of a system restore, then all is lost and you need to recover from a backup.

    Have you performed a search of Windows to see if you can find some of these photos and files?    For example, you could search for something like "Resume.doc" or a file name that you remember exactly to see if it is anywhere on your system and where it is.

    Why don't you get in Windows Explorer and (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive), navigate to this folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings

    Below, you will see that each user on your system has their own folder for their personal belongings.  You will see also some folders listed user that you do not recognize, but that's normal.

    Under the folder of each user, there is another folder, as "Documents of Jose" and under this 'Jose music' and «De Jose Pictures»  Dig a little and check them all to see if you can find your missing stuff.

    Just take a look in the Control Panel, add/remove programs to see if "missing" programs are still installed, but all not available when you are logged in (you don't have to 'do' something - just look at).

    Assuming that you can find your missing stuff, determine where we (which will make feel you better knowing that it is not really gone), then report back and someone can help you straighten things.

  • All THE Windows files suddenly called "$NtUninstall" followed by a lot of numbers.

    All files in the windows in the index (or whatever that is called) are called "$NtUninstall" followed by a lot of numbers.  I'm afraid to turn off this option.  What to do?  Is this a virus?

    It seems that if you have enabled the option "show the hidden files and folders".  If you want to re - hide these files:

    • Click Start > My Documents
    • Click on the menu Tools, then Folder Options
    • Click the view tab
    • Scroll down and select the radio button for "do not show hidden files and folders".
    • OK your way out

    The files of $ $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx are the files that the system creates for use if you ever decide that you want to uninstall the corresponding Windows updates.

    As a general rule, you must uninstall not Windows updates unless you can specifically identify an update as causing a problem.  Thus, some people want to delete all the $NTUninstall files in order to earn a little extra space on the hard disk.

    Although deleting these files generally will not be free very much space, if you are interested, check out this article--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm

    I recommend that you leave the files where they are and re - hiding as described above.

  • LR to read the metadata of the file, automatically or manually all the configuration files

    Hello

    I would like to know how to configure LR for the following use cases:

    1. Read the metadata from all the photo files once.
    2. Always read all files, so "to start" stage, on a regular or - ideally - on basis of evolution into a file.

    I already know how to "read metadata" for individual or selected, files but my questions are in regards to pictures of my catalog.

    Another way to look at this is: how to select all the images? Is it possible to say to LR to read the metadata for the selected images and apply "import disc settings' as the default for conflicts?

    I don't understand what some of the implications of are, as a decline in performance in the section files/XMP metadata are only a subset of the LR metadata keeps in the catalog, for example flags, the collection members, develop the story, etc. are all not stored in XMP as I understand it - and it's good for me.

    All my files are JPG or TIFF, so the XMP section is contained in the files, not in separate sidecar XMP files. On my file system my photos are usually organized in a folder structure as follows: J:\Pictures\Year\Month\Event.

    Thank you very much!

    Stefan

    1. Select all Photos (click on all of the photographs, turn off filters, expand all the batteries, then Ctrl + A) then the metadata-> read metadata from files

    2. cannot be done. Reading metadata from files must be started manually.

  • All of a sudden my Elements 7 won't load all the video files not saying not supported

    Suddenly my Elements 7 won't load all the video files saying not supported, I rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled but it refuses to work any ideas please

    If you are video comes from a Hi8 camcorder, then it is analog, which has been digitized. And how and what facilities allowing you to scan this video may be important. But, since you say that you have changed this video before in Premiere Elements without a problem, I'll assume this isn't the question at the moment - although it could certainly be. Especially since you use a such relatively old version of Premiere Elements, one that requires you to manually configure your project.

    In fact, try to download the trial version of the latest version of Premiere Elements and see if you experience the same problem. The current versions of the program are many more automatically and are capable of managing a much wider range of video file formats. You don't have to buy the program. Just try free trial and see if you still experience the same problems.

    If nothing else, install the trial version 14 version COULD even repair what has been damaged in your codec library, if that's your problem in version 7.
