  • This is the message I get when I try to add the audio to Vista windows movie maker that the devil is a codec & where can I find the right one to download?

  • 0 x 80070011 when you try to add the Media Center of Windows 8 Pro

    I am attempting to add Windows Media Center to my installation of Windows 8 Pro but get an error message saying something with evil.  Looking at the logs, I see that the problem is "DoTransmogrify failed due to error 0 x 80070011" which indicates there is a problem with my user directory is on a drive other than the Windows folder.  Since I have an SSD relatively low to start I moved my user to a much larger hard drive folder.  Should not directory junctions work the same as if the file was on the same drive?  Is there a work around short replacing my user on the c: folder?

    Thank you!

    I had a similar problem with window 8 RSAT tools that lead me to this post in my search for a solution. I'm not positive that this will solve your problem but it worked for me. Because the Setup program does not seem as follows symbolic links that point to different disks, I simply said the installer the real location of the profiles it is updated during the installation. Open the registry editor and navigate to:

    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    Change the location of the "Default", 'ProfilesDirectory' and 'Public' StringValues to point to the real target of your users path a symlink on drive c. (IE. "D:\Users\*).
    Run the Media Center Setup
    Change back the path in the registry.
    (I'm not positive that this is necessary, as you'd still have the symbolic link on your C drive as points that anything using this path to the right folder, I just changed it back to %SystemDrive%\* so that I could test to see if the RSAT tools has always worked without the explicit path used in the registry.)
    Good luck. I hope this works.

    RE: iTunes and WMP - MusicBridge

    Found this on the web. I can't vouch for it. Use it at your own risk.

    Excerpt:
    iTunes is not compatible with Windows Media Player. iTunes is - like Apple-very protective of any product and does not like to share. So, you have to force off iTunes and WMP.

    To do this, you can use this sloppy program: MusicBridge.
    The description of its creator:
    MusicBridge allows people who use both iTunes and WMP on the same machine to keep their libraries in sync. MusicBridge offers a variety of synchronization options so that you can manage your collection of music in the media player, or both. MusicBridge duplicates of meta-data between Windows Media Player and iTunes, it does not copy the physical files between applications.

    Version 2.0.1 is a bug fixing release.

    Best thing: it's free.

    courtesy of musiclover101:
    convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format that Windows Media Player can understand

    You can convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format of Windows Media Player can understand - (I tend to use mp3). This can be done inside of iTunes itself. If the songs in your iTunes library were purchased in the iStore and were purchased in the plus version (indicated by a small sign above the price of a song +), then they are DRM free, so they can be converted easily. However, if the songs were not purchased in the format more, you can convert them for 30 cents each. I highly recommend that you do as the plus version of songs are premium quality - and since they are DRM free, you can use them in almost all applications and you can burn them to CD and play almost anywhere. All the songs on the iTunes store are now version more, so you don't have to worry about searching for them in the future.
    To convert songs to Windows Media Player can understand, open iTunes, and then do the following:
    1. click Edit, preferences, and go to the general tab
    2. click on the button "import settings".
    3. change the "import using" at "MP3 encoder".
    4. click OK and go back to your music library
    5. choose the list view and select the first piece of your library
    6. scroll all the way to the last song in your library
    7. press the button SHIFT key, then click the last song to select all the songs in your library
    8. click on "Advanced" and then "Create MP3 Version."
    9. your songs should start to convert and according to how many songs do you have in your library, this could take some time
    10. open Windows Media Player and press F3 or click file, add it to the library

    11. click on OK - Windows Media Player should start to search for songs on your computer and after that he finished the search, you should find the songs in your library in your Windows Media Player to iTunes library.

    NOTE: This method will not work unless you have purchased iTunes songs or if you have converted the songs iTunes more for each 30 c

  • Windows Media Center crashes when I try to add extender

    About two weeks ago (about 9/30; "I think that was a day after an MSE update), my Xbox 360 suddenly stopped recognizing my Windows Media Center PC. When I would try to set up my Extender, she would get to the first step before you give me an error "cannot set up Extender. I checked to make sure that all services were running, the firewall allowed programs through and so on, but kept getting the same error.

    About a week after that, the error "Cannot set up Extender" has been replaced with an error "Windows Media Center has stopped working". It reads: "a problem caused blocking the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. "He was giving me this error whenever I try to add the extension since last week.
    I tried disabling my firewall, WCM via the Control Panel, delete the mcepg2 file in the eHome folder, rename the eHome folder, remove mediacenteredatastore.db, tries to connect via another user and all other solutions I found on the forums of uninstalling/reinstalling. I would greatly appreciate it someone could solve this, like many other people, because it seems that there are several issues across the internet on this error. Please let me know if I can provide more information about this error and how to give it. Thank you.

    Since you are being invited to turn off Genius, you can add music, please use the following information to resolve these two issues:

    Turn on or off the Genius

    Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working".  It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error, just a constant circle of shutdown and startup code.  This has happened for days.  I am running windows 7.

    I think that norton or mcafee may have been preinstalled as trial versions, but I've never actually used them. Unfortunately I can't use the windows Explorer, so I can't check if they are still there.

    We will cover all the possibilities.

    1. download each of the tools for deletion below, save it to your desktop:

    Norton Removal Tool: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    McAfee removal tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all software (including LiveUpdate and Add-ons of Norton) Norton through Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view)

    IMPORTANT! => Activate the Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    IMPORTANT! => Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed the steps #4, #5 and #6 below!

    4. right click on one of the files that you saved in #1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    5. Repeat step #4 for another removal tool.

    Tips:

    -Online use another computer to download the removal tool, if necessary, then transfer it to the computer via CD, DVD, or a USB brand new, never been used (flash drive), or a summer freshly updated in shape.

    -Online start the problem in Mode safe computer, if necessary, proceed as above.

    -Online after completing all of the above, uninstall AVG Free & reboot. Now do a new installation of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.
