Some programs continue to save on & on even if I did not register, how can I stop this?
I had this problem with Media Center in Vista Home Premium for well over a year. Once I recorded a show, I find that it is set to record again and again and again once without putting myself to save. It's cluttering my hard drive and become a real pain.
This does not happen with every show, just a few. I've never been to "Series Record", I put only to record my shows, a day or two ahead of time and that is when I find a show sometimes has once more the value to save. Or sometimes I'll go to watch recorded shows and it showed that I had not put to save, Yes, it's a former title, I recorded in the past.
I've never had a new titled record shows on its own, only those who were registered in the past.
There must be a Medai Center file that contains the list of the recorded shows, if I could erase this file that should solve the problem. I tried to clear the cache & temporary files with various software hoping to delete this list but that did not work.
Suggestions?
And you are sure that no show has been inadvertently value "series"? You can check this in recorded TV > view scheduled > series.
Another possibility is that (especially if it seems to be completely random episodes), it is re-registration of the episodes that did not previously save completely (due to the failure of the system, the loss of signal or other error.) If this is the case, clear the history of recording (via recorded TV > view scheduled > history > clear history) will correct this.
As for deleting a file: If the above did not solve the issue, Yes, it's possible.
Assuming that your PC isn't TV Pack 2008 (check in the MC: tasks > settings > General > on media center to windows > software version: If the software version 6.0.xxxx, no TV Pack; if it is 6.1.xxxx, you have TV Pack), to do this:
Close Media Center. Open Services.msc. Stop all the "Windows Media Center xxxx" services. "
Open Explorer. Go to tools > folder options; Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and select "Show the hidden files and folders" > OK. Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\Recording. Copy the recordings.xml and recordings.xml.bak (recordings.bak? It has been a little while, and I'm on Win7 these days...) For more security (just in case...) and delete the originals.
Reset the display options in Explorer they had before. Close all windows and restart.
Windows will recreate the recordings.xml to restart files, and they are going to be empty - no entries.
HTH,
Chris

Sometimes when you view an Acrobat file created by others, square replace some characters. How can I stop this?
Hi John -.
It seems that no one has answered your question. Sorry for the long wait!
Squares can replace characters when you're dealing with missing fonts, or who are poorly integrated. It is important to see the text, you can ask the person creating the document to convert the PDF image pages PDF file, which then displays the fonts.
Places instead of the characters may appear if you are using a scanned page, for example and capture the text.

When I open a new tab, it automatically changes to "http://www.bigseekpro.com/search/dns/anyvideo2dvd/{F8DC2913-2606-401B-8AED-0345AD711130}? q =bigseekpro.com/anyvideo2dvd/{F8DC2913-2606-401B-8AED-0345AD711130}? s_src = newta.

If your homepage has changed too, follow these steps.

When firefox opens as a new tab opens with a video download program how can I stop this
When I opened ffox what it also opens a new tab on if I want to download a video software... How can I remove this.
Thank you
captjackSorry, I read too fast. This happens any time you access your home page? For example, using either:
- CTRL + n (start a new window)
- Click on the Home icon in the toolbar
If Yes:
You can have a second put tab in place in your homepage layout. Please see these articles:
If this setting is clean, please review your extensions as stated in my previous answer.
If not:
Sometimes problems occur only at startup.
- If the tab is linked to an update of the extension: you should see this tab once and not every time that you start, but Firefox may be not recording the 'you have seen' setting correctly. Please see this article on the failure of save the settings: How to fix preferences that will not save.
- If the tab is not related to an update of the extension, please review your extensions as stated in my previous answer. Keep in mind that Firefox is not delivered with all extensions, they are all optional.
