• Why microsoft does not update Windows 7 to add support for ID3 2.4 tags?

  Most media players these days write 2.4 ID3 tags for MP3 and Windows Media Player or Windows Explorer can read these tags. And because of this all my music files will appear as unknown track, artist, album. And it's really annoying.

  Hello Yvette,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community!

  I'm sorry to inform you that Explorer Windows and Windows Media Player can not handle the ID3 version 2.4tags in any version, up to and including Windows 7/Windows Media Player 12. Windows can understand ID3 until and including version 2.3.

• I don't know why Microsoft does not offer a laptop stolen, followed by assistance to all its users under license?

  A creator of this popular software, this should be the most logical part. Given that each authorized user registers with it as well as the id MAC, regularly logs in to windows update, if the same is machine is stolen, even where it is formatted, as and when the new user comes in contact with microsoft for windows update, it should be able to catch the really fast user's ip and report it to the original user.

  Microsoft listening?

  Not all users * records * Windows - in fact, I would say that VERY FEW users register their software.

  More * activate * the software - but since there is no personal information associated with the activation - this does little or nothing to prove ownership (wouldn't attach the product to one person in particular).

  I think you are oversimplifying the ability to do what you're talking about.  You buy the right to use the Microsoft operating system - you do not have.  You actually already saved your Microsoft operating system , or simply activated?

• Why Microsoft does not insist on the grouping of the files by date?

  It's infuriating.

  I do not combine my files, I list by name or date modified.  Today, when I accessed my file system using the Windows 7 library, my files are grouped in the "earlier this year" and "long ago" no matter what field is used to sort.

  WHY?  !!!!!!!

  Why someone at Microsoft decides they will be they will mess up how to do things (developed over the decades) to satisfy a personal sense of aesthetics?  Now I breath a gaping hole in the time I have this evening trying to work around this problem.

• Why Microsoft are not

  Why Microsoft does not make a new version of windows xp and make it innovative, modern design and it may appoint windows xp super and make windows xp stay supported and wanted by the people because of its new design and functionality that you will add

  Hello Alex_88_20,

  That Microsoft remove never any code when a new operating system is created, you can actually say that Windows Vista is Windows XP with an upgrade. Basically, the same applies with all versions of Windows, the latest version is simply grafted on the other. There are millions of lines of code in Windows, Microsoft could never start from scratch to create a new version of Windows. If they did the chances are that it wouldn't work as well as the current version!

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Why Apple does not have a backup battery for Apple devices?

  Why Apple does not have a backup battery for Apple device? Recommended us that of our full when we are on the road, so they should do a backup battery for their devices instead of other companies do. The backup battery that I use for my iPhone 5 c don't let my phone screen timeout as he does when I'm with the regular wall charger. Can anyone help?

  Consult the manual for your backup battery.  There should be a switch or a button to activate the phone load.  It should not be left in charge mode all the time because the phone thinks it has unlimited power when charging, so disabled several energy-saving features (like display sleep, closing a connection Wi - Fi when he sleeps).

• Remove video codecs for wmp 12?

  Anyone know if there is a way to remove video codecs for wmp 12?

  Hi Jds1966,
   
  1. why you try to uninstall the video codec?
  2 are you face any problem of video playback?
  3. you receive an error message?
  Yes, you can uninstall the video codec to your computer.
  First of all, try these steps below:
  a. go to tools.
  b. click on options.
  c. click the Plugins tab.
  d. here you have the plugin displayed in each category.
  If it is not displayed, then we you must uninstall the software that makes the codec installed like nero, roxio, divx, quicktime, etc.
  You can also determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.
  
  Then you can uninstall any installed codec and install that you need to do the job file.

• Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to fix it?

  No Option to install repair - SAD

  Hello

  Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.

  I recently had a problem where Vista Business 64-bit would only boot to a black screen with a mobile cursor - KSOD.   Who, in searching the Web I found is a fairly common problem with Vista.  I discovered that my only option was about to reinstall Vista CLEAN and all the other programs I had installed under it.  I can't believe that Microsoft released the 'repair installation option"similar to that of Windows XP, where you can hit the"R"key during installation and we left with nothing but the"System Restore"options and"Startup Repair ".  Neither of which has helped in my situation.  Since then, this was a dual system boot with XP Pro, then any restore point has been removed from the partition to Vista anytime, I started another recognized problem, by Microsoft, which Microsoft has made no significant effort to fix, in addition to recommending that you hide the partion Vista in XP - a whole of XP.  That beats a little the entire purpose of dual boot.

  As I tried to start in safe mode, it left me at the same point as a normal boot - black screen with a cursor.  I tried ctrl + alt + delete and nothing. Two Windows RE options did not help me.  This left me no option but to the completely reinstall Vista.   Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.. Please don't tell me that it is because Vista uses an image file instead of an installation as XP system.   I see no other reason for not allowing the upgrade of outside BONE in addition to Microsofts greed and paranoia that he can transform the operating system easier to install illegally.  I hope that some third party has actually changed the Vista installation routine to allow you to install Vista on itself, because as it is, it's really hard for me to even recommend Vista as the operating system or install any where else, if not the only recourse after loading OS, is to reinstall completely.

  Adobe, Autodesk, and almost all other software publishers... allow you to perform a "REPAIR" of their software installation, if something prevents you to load after installation.  Even MS Office has a routine repair.  Ms has an internal version of the Setup routine which allows outside the OS upgrade option that you want to "Upgrade" / repair? ".  If not, why?

  -Todd w.

  "Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair."

  «.. . After using XP's repair function, the operating system itself would become less stable and frankly not in a good state of repair. »

  As Todd, is the answer.

  "This response does not hold water as on one of my computers I've been running Windows XP for about four years now, after a repair install.

  Then, you were lucky.  Try to replace the system files on a computer that does not start even at a desk or safe mode usually will get a return to office, but will probably repeat the same problem in a few weeks.  Tech professional would only use this function to retrieve the data before a complete reinstallation.

• Why Microsoft did not recognize or set the iexplore.exe virus?

  After cold boot my Toshiba Satellite laptop computer with Vista, pane the Task Manager process shows no instance of iexplore.exe. However, after using the computer for a while (using Outlook, Crome, Excel etc) my system slowly grinds almost to a halt several instances of iexplore.exe appear in the process pane, each consumer of 15 to 25% of the total of processor cycles. This becomes worse and worse until the system becomes unusable.

  I belong to several thousand users of Windows who is plagued by the iexplore.exe virus. I used 5 different virus/malware removers (including MS Security Essentials and MSERT.exe), but they do not solve this problem.
  Why Microsoft did not recognize this virus dangerous and done something to remove it? (ODILE. EXE does not help).  Only users that I found on the web that have to get rid of this nasty virus are those who reformatted their hard drives.  Microsoft can surely do better than that.
  Has anyone found a solution that actually works?  (A lot of the fixes suggested on the net "seem" to work for a few hours or a day or two, but then the virus appears again upward and consumes most or all of the cycles CPU).
  I'm surprised that Microsoft do not have a solution to the problem. If you have a solution that really works, please let me know. Thank you.

  And you think this is a virus why? I admit it could be a root kit, but I suspect that a program you use called IExplore to launch a URL, but fails to launch a browser window, that is why tasks of runaways.

  However, if you believe that it is through a virus or root kit:

  A charger 10W works perfectly well. A 12W charger can be slightly faster to load under certain conditions.
