• Windows Experience Index problem: could not measure the performance of video playback

  My pc is not yet rated. When I click on rate appears on this computer, a msg error saying that Windows Experience Index for your system could not be calculated, could not measure the PERFORMANCE of VIDEO PLAYBACK. What should I do. Help, please

  Hello

  Here are a few things to check before launching performance index Windows (WEI).

  • Quit all running programs, and restart the computer before running the assessment (WEI).
  • Check with the manufacturer of the computer or the motherboard manufacturer for BIOS updates.
  • Make sure you have the latest Windows 7 compatible drivers for the graphics device installed (video card).
  • If you have any third-party media players installed, uninstall them until the end of the evaluation of the WEI.
  • If you have installed any third-party Media Codecs, try to uninstall them until the end of the evaluation of the WEI.

  Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder C:\WINDOWS\Performance\WinSAT .

  You should see the following 8 videos.

  2 files with .mp4 extension.

  3 files with the .mpg file extension.

  3 files with .wmv file extension.

  Double-click each of these files. They should open and play in Windows Media Player. These are the files that WEI runs video performance.

  One thing to remember is that the WEI score is only an indicator of the ability of the main components of hardware on the computer. It has no effect on the performance of the system.

  Tell us what you find.

• 500 Dignostics Performance event. could not measure the performance of video playback

  Hello

  Could someone help me with the problem of (the windows experience index) when I run the assessment I get the message (could not measure the performance of video playback).

  Hello

  ·         You have made no changes to the computer until the problem occurred?

  ·         What is the full error message or code that you get?

  Event ID 500 is mainly caused by the excessive use of graphical subsystem, which is controlled by the process dwm.exe. DWM.exe is a Desktop Window Manager and is responsible for the graphics effects in Windows operating system such as 3-d effects, previews of windows and transparencies to windows live.

  I suggest to disable all of the features of "Aero", such as the use of classic Windows rather than the Windows Aero feature, stopping using 3D desktop and so on, in order to reduce excessive system resource occupancy rates. If possible, you could develop RAM to increase performance of the system to check if the event has not changed.

  You can also try to update the graphics driver and check if it helps. To do so follow the link below:

  I do not know; I don't check the newspaper.

  But, my problem was solved.

  I made two changes before it was fixed.

  First of all, I added more RAM. But this was not (directly) affect or correct the problem.  In addition, I was running the same amount of RAM (2 GB) before without problem.

  Second, following the second installation I had made another change.  I had created a virtual disk and put the TEMP folder.

  The problem went away (performance index worked) after I changed the place of C: TEMP.  But, I also tested with her to the RAMDISK and it works.  However, after that I set the TEMP to C:\, I also increased the size of the Ramdisk of 350 MB to 1 GB.  It works fine now.

  So, maybe this might help someone.  Better than I could understand, the ability of the TEMP folder was too small for the test to be performed.  This seems to be the most logical explanation (by simple deduction).

  I'd be curious to know if others had the same problem and the solution.  Or, if one solution.  At least, I would have more certainty as to the cause of the problem.

• Problem with .gif images not in the process of disappearance

  Hi-

  I'm fairly new to photoshop. Lately I've been messing around with editing and gifs and have been sporadic success achieve what I decided to do. I'm looking for help with a peculiar problem which seems to appear again and again. The problem is that when I try to make GIFs. with a transparent background, gif images don't disappear properly once the file is moved out of photoshop.

  For example: I came across the following .gif yesterday and decided I want to try to edit for a surreal effect.

  http://imgur.com/NJlpA.gif (I hope this link works)

  I wanted to trim the beginning of animation where the man is on the bike and make sure the man just rolls backward on the ground (weird I know).

  I deleted the images I successfully is most wanted and reproduces images of animation that I wanted to play again so that the image would loop seamlessly. I then went through image by image and corresponding layer by layer, to remove the white background. I used the quickwand tool. It took a lot of time, but the gif was playing in photoshop that I wanted, a man back writhing on the ground for no apparent reason. Siiiiiiick.

  So I have everything save for web thing and devices, saved as a .gif file, and then I put it on the interwebs and it turns out that I have created this monstrosity:

  http://imgur.com/60CHc.gif

  Please, please, please, someone tell what I'm doing wrong. I feel like I got the exact procedure even other gifs and had them turn out perfectly. What Miss me?  Please note that the problem is not that I did accidentally layers active for executives, so that I did not want their assets. I checked.

  OK, thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to offer advice.

  Sean

  Each image is defined as "don't throw"... which means that it will keep this visible frame throughout the animation.

  Select all the images in the Animation Panel and then right click on any change of setting this option.

• Play HTML5 video with JavaScript does not hide the overlay dimming video

  I googled this problem and found nothing useful and also checked the area of support here and still nothing. I'm creating a webpage with HTML5 video. I made a layer with the video object that is hidden with CSS, until the user clicks on a link. When the user clicks on the link, I use a JavaScript function to display and play the HTML5 video object. Works fine except that Firefox keeps the overlay in place play button while playing my video! If I click on the overlay, the video stops. Then if I click again, the overlay disappears and the video resumes playback.

  I realize there are solutions that can be pirated. But it is certainly a bug that the rest overlay in place after the start of the video via a JavaScript command. I hope that this problem finds its way to the right people at Mozilla for resolution.

  Thank you

• Could not open the file .mdb video

  * - Original title - codec for .mbd

  In the transfer from my old hard drive (Visa House) to Windows 7, everything went past better that expected, expect that a special video cannot be opened.  It has the extension .mdb.  Do you know how I can bypass this distortion (find a codec to work) so I can open the video?  I got to make a DVD of the video on a XP computer.  The DVD opens, but not the specific file I'm after.  Is what helps in the solution? Thank you very much.

  Thanks for you advice and patience.  It looks like the steps you just passed will be my last steps.  Thanks for the good luck wishes.  Good bye.

• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

  Thanks for the reply. I was able to finally get the new Webroot program to install after running a Microsoft Fix affecting the directory uninstall the old prgm Webroot and meets a new error code (1603), which led me to this site to permissions Grant full control to the SYSTEM account.
