The decoder error: the video decoder has either malfuntioned or is not installed...

I had to reinstall my Win XP Media Center 2005 due to a trojan virus. I formatted and reinstalled. Everything works fine, but I can play is no longer ANY DVD. I get the message "titled" above! I installed and ran the Video Decoder Checkup Utility and it says I have NO MPEG-2 decoder installed! What the heck is with that? I have a bought and paid for a BONE with Media Center 2005, the only way I've seen to get the codecs I need, I have to pay for them?  It's crazy! I thought that I had already paid for them through the puchace of my PC! (Dell)  I have / do not watch TV using Media Center. I only watched DVD (when it worked) really just, I wish the new DVD game! ANY help on this would be appreciated.

Very probably came with your Dell system Power DVD, the decoder is in this program.

Reinstall Power DVD and Media Center works again.

If you purchased a TV Tuner with your system, for example (Angel USB) reinstall the driver on the CD Drivers and Utilities provided with your system.

If you do not have the drivers CD, you can get it from Dell downloads driver.

You can also reinstall burning software provided with your system.

If you miss any CD program or does not have the with your system will...

  • Why am I suddenly "USB not recognized, one of the devices USB has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize"

    Hi all. If anyone out there in Cyber Land can solve this problem for me so I've personally you will issue an eight-pack of ice-cold beer (or a bottle of wine for the ladies lol)...

    I'll try not to waffle too guys, so here's...

    Right my PC running Windows XP. I also have itunes installed on my PC (I have an iphone 4). Upward until yesterday my iphone and itunes were working well, (once I plugged my iphone in the itunes USB port recognised that my iphone was plugged and synchronization was fine etc.).

    But now when I plug my iphone to PC to sync with itunes, I get a pop up box on the lower right part of the screen that reads... "USB not recognized one of the USB devices has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize."

    After visiting about 5 different sites now "Ways to solve this problem", believe it or not, I still have the problem bloody! :(

    A site proposed shutdown PC and unplug it from the power supply, then plug it back start-up and back... this as did not work!
    The other they say that I should go to Device Manager, uninstall all the USBs then restart... it did not work either.
    Tried a system restore
    Tried to reinstall itunes

    When I check the names USB in Device Manager, there is one who reads unknown device. I am literally pulling what's left of my hair now. I tried to solve this problem for almost 2 days now and still no joy. That's why no matter what input you guys would be very appreciated. I'm no PC Wizard, so please, don't think you're patronizing me if you break down things step by step for me.

    Thank you comrades, cordially, Freddy frustrated. :)

    Another said I should go to Device Manager, uninstall all the USBs and restart.

    Usually, this works... but can be very dangerous, unless you have a PS/2 keyboard.

    I also assume that you have tried all other USB ports on the computer. tried a verified USB device (for example, a flash drive) in the USB usually when you plug in your iPhone. and I tried your iPhone in another computer (I know it's rare for an error message Windows really means what he says, but sometimes the material lacks).

    Is the charge of the iPhone when it is connected to the USB port (I don't think)?  This happened to me recently, but a reboot fixed it.  I guess that that happened to you.

    I guess that you don't see the error messages in Device Manager or you must declare them.

    You can uninstall all USB devices that do not exist as follows:

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Enter the following command and press enter

    Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1

    • Start the Device Manager by typing the following in the same command prompt window

    devmgmt.msc

    • In Device Manager, click the view menu and select "Show hidden devices".
    • You should see a category just after "Non-Plug and Play drivers" named "other devices."  Chances are that there will be a big exclamation yellow mark beside it.  When you expand the "other devices" you should see several non identified "USB devices."  Uninstall all this.
    • Reboot (with the iPhone NOT connected).
  • Problems with error Windows Media Player, that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

    We have a computer that is running Windows 7 and (I think) Windows Media Player 12.  When I start ==> all programs ==> windows media player, the program starts and it seems to work.  It is a work computer, so no video or audio file is saved.

    We have an online seminar that the user wants to participate in, and when we click on the link to get the webinar, an error message appears saying that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

    We use Firefox (version reasonably updated, but do not know which) for internet.

    I used the "fix it" tool on the website of Microsoft, but that does not solve anything.  He said it sets some configuration settings.  I thought that maybe uninstall and reinstall it can work, but I can't understand completely uninstall because it isn't in my list of programs in the control panel.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for any ideas you may have.

    (Moved to programs)

    Uninstall and reinstall could be done by searching for and opening the option "turn on or off Windows features", but I don't think it will help.

    Instead, what you need is a Windows Media Player plugin for your browser (Firefox).

    But before you spend effort on it, I would test to see if it's really the solution.  Try to join your webinar with Internet Explorer (where the WMP plugin is built).  If it works, you can be reasonably sure to know how to make it work with Firefox.

  • Error in Windows Media Player, Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. You want to install the Player from the Microsoft Website

    I don't know how or why it happened, but one day to another, WMP won't open. I tried to open an MP3 file, and he says that WMP has not been correctly configured "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. Do you want to install the player from the Microsoft Website? ».

    I assumed that since I had to make some updates yesterday, that he was at fault, it had installed an update/new version of WMP and it was either buggy or doesn't work do not, so I went to the Windows updates, but no recent updates on the list had a remote connection with Windows Media Player.

    So, I accept the first proposal of the error message, and I'm headed to the Windows Media Player download page on the Microsoft Website. However, the version I should install (which was the one I already had) has Windows Media Player 12 for Windows 7. But this option is locked for me, and as I tried to install it, it says it is not compatible with my system. Not to mention, it's a whole package and not just the WMP installation.

    I tried everything and nothing seems to work. It won't even let me uninstall WMP because it won't let me open.

    My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. And the error messages that I get to try to launch any WMP feature (the tool, the installation program, no matter what), opens an error window stating that "there is a more recent version of Windows Media (12.0.7601.18150) player already installed on your computer. It is not possible to use and more old (12.0.7601.17514) installation package to install files or repair your current version of the reader. »

    Please, I ask for any intervention in this case.

    This arises from time to time, but I don't think that there is a difficulty of 100%.

    You can try (in no particular order)

    1. uninstall, reboot, reinstall WMP- http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/26107/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-player-in-windows-7-to-solve-problems/ if that doesn't help, try a SFC/scannow check - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
    2. There is this diagnostic tool - http://support2.microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/ that can help (from http://support2.microsoft.com/fixit/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0 )
    3. You could try a system restore to a date before the problem occurred to see if that helps - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/system-restore-faq#1TC=windows-7 and see if it gets a WMP work back
    4. Last resort, a repair install - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html
    5. Or just simply forget about WMP and try another party 3rd multimedia player that you can install and uninstall at will, as free VLC - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

    But it may be worth waiting a while to see if someone else has a better solution.

  • Try to install the video card. Integrated graphics card does not! (PE T110 II)

    Hello

    I tried to install a video card in the x 16 slot PCIE (ASUS Radeon 5450 Silent). I read on the Board that this video card has worked for others with the T110 II.

    I turned off the computer and unplug the power cord.

    I installed the video card in the x 16 pcie slot.

    The VGA cable is connected to the integrated VGA.

    When I turn on the computer, my monitor receives no signal. I tried to access the bios to change the settings of the embedded video controller of standard to distributed. Unfortunately, I am unable to see anything on my monitor, it gets no signal. If I try to connect the vga graphics card it shows a screen black nothing else.

    The integrated graphics card works again once I remove the location PCIe video card. The integrated graphics card does not work while the video card is connected.

    I 2.8.0 bios version.

    I can hear the computer starts, but I don't see what is on the screen, I'm not sure if the bios is starting.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • The video player integrated into Captivate 8 is not accessible to keyboard.

    The Play, Pause, buttons etc. don't seem to be able to be accessed from the keyboard.  Is there a work around?

    If you use multiple video synchronized slides regular play, pause, fast forward and so forth will control the video. If you create your own buttons to control these options you can also assign keyboard shortcuts for these buttons.

  • How can I correct the mistake that has a new rectangle is not in interactive mode?

    Whenever I have create a new rectangle, it is in interactive mode.

    Where can I change the settings so that a new rectangle is "normal"?

    You can convert a normal rectangle

    Object > shape > expand Rectangle

    I edited my keyboard shortcuts that I can do this quickly.

    My thoughts is this should be a new tool or replace the rounded rectangle tool.

    There should not be replacing the normal rectangle tool.
