  You mean PDF not PDL. (I presume).
  Save a PDF to your HARD drive, make a click right, choose 'Open with', choose "choose default program", choose Acrobat, and then at the bottom of the dialog box, click "always use the selected program to open...". "and then click OK.

• When you try to save all files on the C drive in Windows 7, get the message "There are no more files"

  I get this when I try to save all the files on my C drive. I am the only user on this laptop. It's windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  So far, I've checked for viruses using 5 different scanners, check permissions, the usual stuff, but I still get it. The funny thing is if I right click on my desktop and click New txt Document that market I can type this in and click on save, but if I click Save under and rename I save as: there are no more files. BTW I free 350gbs, also tried chkdsk/r

  If you use a Comodo cleaner, which can also cause problems on Win7 64-bit. Uninstall, it helped me - problem solved! But in your case, try to understand if you have installed new software just before the fancy 'there no more files"- message began to appear. BTW, also I had BIG problems since "save under" did not work in one of my programs office to paint...

• ARE STILL UNABLE TO VIEW ALL ITN NEWS ON WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER FILES! WHY, WHY, WHY?

  Why Windows Media Center won't play not all ITN News files?

  What is the PROBLEM?

  file of all names are correctly typed, so why not play it all?

  W.Haslam

  Hi Haslam,

  ·          Are you able to play the same video with windows media player?

  ·          What is the extension of the file you are trying to play?

  Try to play the video by using another application and verify that it is. If so, you need to maybe update codec on your computer and check if it works.

• What do you do when everty time you access something need you for windows media center

  It started with microsoft. Whenever I tried to access my Microsoft pages it took me to windows media center. Now, everything is in the Center. The only way I can get online is through a back door. I tried to change the default values for the Center, but the only default parameters listed are the original ones.
  Windows Media Center has taken control of my computer. Help!

  From what you have stated above, I think that the file association for LNK files has been given misdirection to the Media Center. I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After selecting the Windows Media Center (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file (circled in red below), the document or program referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in Windows Media Center as it should.

  

  The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the browser will want to be opened by Windows Media Center and Windows Media Center icon to view the shortcut no matter what shortcut was originally intentioned to open. This is known as a file association and the default icon. The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions 'Open with' on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely for the items on the desktop.

  The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unAssoc for its ease of use. I used to send people on another site to download this utility, but this site has become confused with all the ads and fake download links. I put a copy on by SkyDrive own here.

  

  Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

• How to restore my files out of windows media center?

  for some reason when I saved a file in another file it changed my entire system to play windows media center nonstop... now he always plays and I can't control it.

  My husband has had the same problem for another reason however, he managed to correct the problem by restarting the computer... by pressing the F8 key at all times as it has been restarted.  It opens a window which says "fix."  In this form it was to "restore the computer to an earlier date" as one of his choices.  Go back as much as necessary and click on restore.  It fixed my problem.  I have tried many other alternatives and this is what finally worked.  Another option reopened as Media Center.  Good luck.

• Blue screen when you perform the search for live TV in Windows Media Center on the new Lenovo A700

  I just got my new Lenovo IdeaCenter A700 yesterday and have been busy setting up.  The computer is equipped with a built-in TV Tuner and I tried to put in place the TV on it so I could watch TV on my computer.  I have RCN for cable and a cable TV that gets first plugged into the decoder and then I plug the cable to the TV - so I just plugged this cable on my computer instead of the TV.

  I used the following Web site to set up using Windows Media Center - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/9166/learning-windows-7-setup-live-tv-in-windows-media-center/.  After that I put in my zip code he sought the power of the signal or something and then I got a blue screen.  To restart the computer the information below has been MS. error message This happened to me twice.

  Anyone know how to fix this? Or otherwise, I just want to use my computer to watch TV on, and if I can do this other method other than Windows Media Center free I am happy to do.

  Please let me know if you need more information.

• When I try to read Blu - Ray, it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disk has been created in a way that does not support the player. »

  Original title: Blu - Ray

  My computer can read blu - ray, but when I try to play one, it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disk has been created in a way that does not support the player. "How should I do?

  Hello
   
  The Blu - ray disc format is not supported in Windows Media Player. To play a Blu - ray Disc, you must use a non-Microsoft program that supports playback of Blu ray and a device that can play Blu ray discs.

  One solution is to use the page framed directly, but if you prefer to disable this new protection, there is an option to do so. Of course, please be wary of this guest appearing on other sites.

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

• Recently, when I try to access Firefox I get Windows Media Center (WMC) instead. I want to access my old Firefox bookmarks/favorites.

  My problem with Firefox/WMC is related to a user account. So I've set up a new user account, and I can access in Firefox. I wish I could import my bookmarks/favorites Firefox associated with my old user account to my new user account. The instructions I've seen all say to go to the old account from Firefox, but I can't get in. Is there a way to access my old favorites/bookmarks and transfer them to Firefox on my new user account?

  There are two, the Profile Manager and the profile folder that the data is stored in. (if you refresh at any time, that data will be in a folder on the desktop called "Old data from Firefox")

  • Backup and restore Firefox profiles information
  • Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox
  • Profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data

  Open the folder of a new profile and copy the files from the old to crush are a messy hack as well.

• All of a sudden no sound in Windows Media Center, video playback. No problem with the same files in media player

  My windows media center vista has all of a sudden start to turn off randomly and restart by itself, about 3 weeks ago.  Now, he has lost his.  When I'm going through orders, no sound.  Video games, no sound.  I can still get sound for mp3, but not video.  I can play the same video in media player without any problem.  Can anyone help?  I have Vista Ultimate, service Pack2.

  Hi Doramon,

  Welcome to the Windows Vista answers Forum!

  What are the file extensions you are trying to play?

  This could happen because some of the types of files supported by Windows Media Player are not supported by Windows Media Center.

  To check the file types supported by Windows Media Center please visit the below given link:

  Types of files supported by Windows Media Center

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/file-types-supported-by-Windows-Media-Center

  You can also try and run the System File Checker tool. This would be in repair of the system files that may be damaged.

  Scan SFC enforcement procedure:

  1. click on the Start button

  2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories

  3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

  4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option

  5. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter

  7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.

  8. be patient because the analysis may take some time

  9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue

  10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

  11. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  This would take care of the issue that you are facing.

  You can use the Viewer Windows photo to open photos or images. Windows Media Center does not support the .img file and cannot be opened with Windows Media Center.

• Windows Media Center, detection of hidden files (Win 7 Prof)

  I try to use Windows Media Center, but he has continually detects hidden files.

  The original question was that I didn't include some subfolders, but I did find a way to exclude subfolders, so I tried to hide folders and files.

  Windows Media Center also detects hidden files.

  I have already taken steps to clear the Media Player information in AppData and am at a total loss.

  Currently using Media Center Version 12 on Windows 7 Professional Edition

  What hidden files? How your library is organized? What do you want
  hide from MCE?
   
  Move the item to one location other than the default location and do not add
  library or index.
