Strange files display in Windows XP

Hi all... I tried searching the forums for this issue, but I couldn't find anything. I have a Sansa View 8 GB. When I plug it via USB to my laptop which runs Windows Vista, all the files is displayed correctly. However, when I connect it to another computer running Windows XP (SP2), it displays a different set of records. For example, in the 'Music' folder, any files that are actually on the Sansa appear. Instead, there are folders that appear to be pre-loaded music factory, if I remember. I deleted these files in the early days, but when it is connected to a Windows XP computer, it's as if they are still there... at least the files are; None of the actual mp3 files are located in the folders. But none of my music files to display, and when I add files in the 'Music' folder when you are connected to the Windows XP computer, they do not appear when I then connect it to the laptop Windows Vista. Anyone has any idea of what could be the cause and how to fix it? I wish I could use my Sansa on two of my computers, if possible. Or at least to work properly on the Windows XP computer and use it on this computer only if necessary.

Everyone knows about this strange phenomenon? If so, how to solve it? Thank you!

Sounds like a problem of PSG vs SMC for me. If you have the USB mode from your point of view the 'Auto-detect' value, it could connect in a mode on a PC and the other on the other PC (automatic detection by default of the PSG when possible). Files transferred in a mode are not visible on your PC when you are connected to the other mode. It's normal. Strange, but normal. It is one of the oddities PSG vs SMC shortly.

MTP mode is pretty much Windows only (and the drivers are part of Windows Media Player 10 +, and if you don't have WMP 10 + installed on both computers, which would explain why your drive is switching modes), while the MSC is a generic mode compatible with (I think) all operating systems. If you still have all your music on your PC as well as the view, you must reformat the drive, consider assigning MSC and reload all your music. MTP mode is only necessary if you have DRM files, like the DRM licenses transfer in MSC mode.

  • How can I make folders containing media files in Vista act as normal when files displayed in Windows Explorer.

    Vista handles the media completely differently, and I hate it.  I want to deal with media files as normal files, so I can see, size, date, etc. All previous versions were very good.

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show how to reset the display settings for the Windows File Explorer, disable Automatic folder Type Discovery (which is I think what you want)and increase the folder display the cache to make Vista do not forget the display settings, the folder type template, the size or the position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program AutoSizer to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    I hope this helps in your situation.

  • music files in .aiff format with encoded path names, but are not displayed in Windows Media Player or iTunes.

    I have several CDs with music files engraved on them, but when I play one any of them in WMP or iTunes, music plays, but each track does not have a name.  They appear as the track track 01, 02, etc.. The music files are in .aiff format. Now, here's the clincher, the same CD will play in my car stereo and display the name of the track.

    Are you sure that they are in the format .aiff? It looks more like an actual audio CD for me (in this case, the music files will have a .cda extension when displayed in Windows Explorer).

    If it's an audio CD, then it probably has info CD-text engraved on it. You can install the plugin WMPCDText allowing WMP read this info. Unfortunately, there doesn't exist a plugin similar to iTunes.

  • display of files in separate windows

    Is someone can you please tell me how I can simply display files in separate windows separated?

    (I won't go and choose a particular file in the drop-down list of the Editor (left upper corner) every time I want to see a particular file).

    Thank you in advance.

    Unfortunately, we don't have this ability at this time.  Another way of selecting files is double-click on it since in the files Panel.

    If you are on Windows, I think there is also a way to switch between documents using Ctrl + Tab. I'm not in front of a Windows machine now, so I don't know if it is the correct key combination.

  • When I start windows xp I have a dll file message:C:\WINDOWS\arimajapimogud.dll lack

    Thank you

    Bob

    When a Google search for a file like this arises without success (as suggested by Aleander22), this almost always means that the file is malware.

    The 'missing file' message usually indicates when the computer starts because you had an anti-malware application remove the bad real file (in your case arimajapimogud.dll) but not the mechanism that wants to load this file at system startup.

    As a first step to download, install, update and run these two free antimalware scanner:

    MalwareBytes Anti-Malware
    SUPERAntiSpyware

    If these analyses don't find and remove the culprit, you find it manually.

    Because it is a dll file, it can be a bit difficult to identify the calling program, because it will have a different name.  I suggest that you download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx and let scanner.  When the scan is finished, click the 'connection '.  Most of the entries should be easily identifiable.  Autoruns displays a lot of information in tabs other than "logon".  Some of the elements of tabs other than the logon are critical, so do not uncheck (and certainly, do not delete) at random.

    If you see something strange, Google it.  If you are not sure of an entry in the connection tab, clear the check box next to it.  Reset.  If the message does not return, you can rerun Autoruns and 'delete' of the element that you have unchecked.  If something breaks, re - run Autoruns and put the check in the box and the item will start the next time you start Windows.

  • At startup, Firefox still displays my windows and labels last time, even though I have selected the option to view my homepage.

    Question: Although my option is to show my home page at startup, Firefox still displays my my windows and tabs from last time.

    More details:
    I use Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with Windows Pro 10 and Firefox v 40.0.2
    I chose option to start Firefox to display my home page. Please see attached screenshot. The homepage is the Mozilla Firefox Start Page. However I tried other sites such as www.cognizant.com, www.cnn.com.

    I also tried to start by selecting a blank page. Always on starting Firefox displays the windows and tabs from last time.

    I also deleted the (renamed) prefs.js file and restarted firefox. This step NOT solved this problem.

    Help, please. Thank you

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

    The user.js file will be present if you or a other software created this file and normally will not present.

    You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

    Windows hides certain default file extensions.
    Among them .html and .ini and .js and .txt, and you can see only a file name without file extension.
    You can check the file extension (type) in the file properties in Windows Explorer via the context menu.

  • Windows need to install files to add windows to new Mac.

    Fan of my Pavilion dv6-2173 quit like the portable unit. There is no way to restart it without replacing the fan that I was going to do, so I bought a new MacBook Pro. The hard drive on the HP was fine, so I removed and got an envelope to make it an auxiliary hard drive. And I want to capture all my data files. Unfortunately, I can't find them. The drive reads very well and all subdirectories arcane of Windows appear, but I can't find the library or my personal data. I talked to Apple and they said that I probably need to use Boot Camp, capture a Windows 7 or 8 ISO file and a Windows OEM Installer (it's HP). I run into a few roadblocks, trying to put all these things together. Boot Camp was easy because it is already preloaded in the MAC, but I'm having trouble finding an ISO of Windows on the Microsoft Web site and can't find a WIndows 7 / 8 installer from the HP site.  Then... of ideas?

    I was able to capture the data using the laptop of my grandson and move it across to another remote drive with FAT32 format. But it took five hours. His computer wouldn't let me access the data until I gave her administrative ok for each of the major directories. He has then spent hours clicking on each file before displaying the contents of the directory. It was taking so long with the green bar and drive hard madly flashing I thought it hung. On the advice of my wife, I contacted a House local tech. A very nice boy said that the process takes a long time and the flashing green bar means it is working properly. So, I took the laptop to my basement store where I could keep an eye on it while working on my model railroad. In three hours the files appeared and I was able to start the transfer of the directories. The root directory of my image was 39 000 images. Yet once, this forum has been the one who has the right answer.

  • Strange files in Local Settings\Temp

    I found some strange files on my XP Pro machine (I know that it is no longer supported), a thousand or more, and I don't think they were there before. They take a little memory (value 7gigs). The path is:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Computer\Local Settings\Temp

    The names of the files are: IMT1A0.xml, IMT1AOA.xml, etc. They open with IE, but I just have to watch them is only possible in a reader of C++. Looks like the files for the help and support center. Are they supposed to be there?

    [Original title: strange files]

    Some application programs you run/installed put them there.  All files in a TEMP directory can be deleted safely with the following minor exceptions:

    1. If a file is being used, Windows won't let you delete it

    2. If you have installed an application, there may be files in a TEMP directory that will be necessary to complete the installation after restart.  To deal with this possibility, simply restart the machine before you delete the files in the TEMP directory.

  • C: drive turned into raw and now I can't see file display options etc on my computer.

    Original title: instability of the system.

    I have xp s3. I had trouble with my main drive lately. Previously, I had my shot raw c drive and I can either logon in safe mode. I used checkdisk by my slave hard drive someone to another disk and it comes back with a few interface problems. Yet once the obtained c drive turned into raw and now I can't see file display options etc on my computer. I tried to use to start the system restore but not its use before and now. I have avira for antivirus and Registry Mechanic only. Is there a way I can fix my windows without formatting evrything?

    Hi Windflash,

    I had a similar problem also and it turns out that the hard drive is dead. You can probably do is to connect the hard drive to a working another computer & use data recovery tools to recover files from it but usability will always be a question.

    Data recovery is an another stressful job as for me it took 3 days to recover data to a 500 GB drive.

    After which I tried to format it own it but has not as well so I poured the reader.

    You can try my snack suggestions if your drive starts to work again I strictly recommend you to use it as a primary drive.

  • Will not be displayed in Windows Explorer (16 GB SanDisk 45Mo/sec Class 10)

    Hey!

    I have two exactly the same 16 GB SanDisk 45Mo/sec Class 10 for over 2 years now, I've been using them with my Nikon D5100. One of the two SD cards will not be displayed in Windows Explorer for a few weeks. I am running Windows 8.1 64-bit and I use the SD card reader built into my ASUS N550JK

    More funny thing is, the other SD card is always as they both were normally. Defective SD card still works and I can still access my photos via another PC. Also, connecting the Nikon to my PC with the SD card inside my camera allows me to access the images.

    Does anyone know how to fix this? I want it to appear in my Windows Explorer as it did a few weeks ago.

    Thanks in advance.
