  • Photo Gallery will not play the new game camera video. I don't get colors type screensaver, drawings and models, after downloading the pictures.

    My system is Vista.  Game camera is a Bushnell HD and I can download from an SD card or a direct cable to the photo gallery.  However when I play the video all that can be seen is the same type of screen saver of colors and of protections in motion seen when playing music.  The sound of the segment can be heard clearly, but you don't see nothing recorded.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand from the information you have provided to us, that you are facing problems during playback of videos in the Windows vista photo gallery. I will certainly help you in this matter.

    What is the format of the file?

    If Windows Movie Maker is installed, photo library will play videos in these types of files

    ASF, AVI, MPEG and WMV. Not all editions of Windows Vista come with Windows Movie Maker installed.

    I am unable to play the video file and get the error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

    Can someone help me how to solve this problem. Thank you

    May be that the video file format is not compatible with Windows Media Player.

    Options: -.

    1] download and install VLC Player. It's free and supports file formats more than WMP.

    2] download and install the codecs

    Personally, I prefer VLC Player-if you have that then not need to download and install the codec of any third party.

  • Whenever I have to play the game, I have to insert the disc 2 in my DVD ROM despite installing the game on my hard drive.

    Hello

    Whenever I have to play the game, I have to insert the disc 2 in my DVD ROM despite installing the game on my hard drive.
    Can someone help me with a cure for this (IE run the game without the CD?) I can run Microsoft Flight simulator without inserting the DVD in my DVD-rom.

    original title: query on Microsoft Train Simulator 2001

    I suspect that the game has Digital Rights Management in there (i.e., copy protection) and it checks for you ensure that you physically have the disc so that he knows that you are not a thief.  Many providers of game assumes that you are a thief and you prove that you're not demanding that the disc is in the DVD player when the game takes place.  What I do is to use a program like Alcohol 52%, a free program that can make a copy of a DVD/CD and include in the image copy protection so that you can use a DVD player virtual to mount the image file instead of having the real DVD mounted in a real drive.

  • Beep on startup instead of sound error

    Original title: beep instead of his mistake

    Hi, I had a new problem with my 2nd laptop.
    The problem is difficult to solve.
    My sound card, all right.
    I can hear the sound very well.
    But the problem is, I hear BIOS Boot sound-"beep!" ING in place
    the system error sound (like when you type "abcdefg" in its execution, low piano dating
    Msg error of brand X).
    That's the problem I got.
    That his error is the problem.
    My sound card driver is good.
    How can I solve this problem?

    Very well.

    Most of the sounds THAT XP are configurable.

    Click Start, settings, Control Panel, sounds and Audio devices and look under the sounds tab.

    Look in the events section of the program.

    When you type abcdefg in start, run, and then click OK, XP should play the sound associated with the event called critical shutdown.

    Select the critical event program to stop and see what .wav file is associated with that event.  The files are usually in the c:\windows\media folder to be able to change the audio file of your choice in this folder.

    Click on the small black arrow to read the sound associated with the criticism-Stop event and what you hear?

    It will usually be on:

    Windows XP stop critique.wav

    If this is not the case, edit and save the changes.  You can simply choose any sound you like in the list of .wav files drop-down sounds and listen to it and if you wish, you can click OK to save.  If you don't like it, leave it alone or choose another.

    When I get new mail, instead of the new sound of mail (the default is new Mail Notification.wav), I have Homer Simpson saying "mail!"  The mail is here! ».  Sometimes I change it to a song of cock.

    If your Windows XP stop critique.wav file is missing or is somehow his right when you play, I can download one on my SkyDrive and you can download it and replace it.

    Check them all!  Change them all!  Some events have no sound, but you can assign a sound to all of these events or change an any of them.
