  Let me soce entry details:

  1. all computers need to have at least one administrator account. It will not work without it.
  It does NOT, however, create a profile For YOU defaultAdmin. It belongs to the user or the owner to create and decide who is Admin, and who is a regular user.
  2. even an admin account will not get to install and change the settings automatically. UAC (user account control) always appears to ask for confirmation of the task by clicking on continue, or by typing the admin password.
  3 be the main user is not to be an administrator. It is up to the user/owner of the computer to be configured as such.
  That said, now my question... How do you know that you're not an admin?

• Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install windows media player decoder using my drive from windows XP Professional?

  Media player from Windows

  Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder. And... He
  is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...
  do a system restore to a time before this started
  may be your solution.

  Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Info about DVD decoders:
  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player

• Why Windows Media Center does not display tile of Internet TV?

  Does not accept downloads

  Hello, Packard37

  You are in the US, UK or elsewhere?

  Internet TV is available only in the United States and the United Kingdom - assuming that you are located in the United States / UK:

  Check your region settings in Windows. Go to start > Control Panel > clock, language and region > region and language. On the location tab, make sure that the country is selected in the administration tab, make sure that the language is also correct as well, otherwise click the settings change system locale.

  Go to start, all programs, accessories, click with the right button on command prompt and choose Run as administrator. At the command prompt, run the following command and press ENTER: start/wait %windir%\ehome\mcupdate - uf-nogc

  After you run this command, open Media Center and check if it is available, otherwise, you may need to reset the Media Center, note that this operation removes all custom settings and you will need to re-run the installation again:

  Open the command prompt, as described above once again and then type the following command and press ENTER: MediaCenterRecoveryTask - %SystemRoot%\ehome\mcupdate.exe

  One time only complete, open Media Center and run through the configuration. If you do not immediately see the Internet TV, let Media Center open for about 5-10 minutes, then restart and check if it is available or not.

• Why Windows Media Player is not displayed in my list of programs and features?

  When I go into the Panel and then programs and features, Windows Media Player is not in the list. If I click on the Start button, then all programs, his list here. When I click on it, it opens, but it is not any music listed to see if it works. My question is, why it is not listed in the programs and features in Control Panel? Must indicate all items that are installed on my computer, at least I thought. If someone has an idea, I would appreciate a response. Thank you for your time and your help.

  All the built-in programs that are part of the Vista operating system will NOT be displayed in programs and features. To simplify the reason, Windows Media Player 11 is part of the operating system and cannot be uninstalled. So there is not need to be listed in programs and features, whose main goal is to uninstall or repair any installed programs. Another example is Windows Defender.

  For your information:

  In Windows 7, Windows Media Player 12 is also part of the operating system and it cannot be uninstalled and it will not reveal in programs and features either.

• Why windows media player is not find my device

  I have a HTC Sensations XE and when I have it connected to my laptop, Windows Media Player is not finding the device for me to sync music to my playlist. I couldn't already sync music to my HTC Wildfire.Should Windows Media Player automatically recognize the device as soon as it is connected?

  The next time that you want sync, connect the device to your computer and click on the Synchronize tab, then click Start Sync.

  Step 2: Add a device to sync in Windows Media Player.
  1. start Windows Media Player and connect your portable device into a USB port on your computer. A box of "Windows Media Player ‑‑ Device Setup" appears, showing that he recognized the device and provides an opportunity for you to name your device.
  2. read how the player will sync your device, which is directly under where you type the name of the device. If storage of the device is more than 4 gigabytes, for example, and your library on Windows Media Player fits on this device, the player chooses automatic.
  3. selection of automatic synchronization means that your device will reflect all your Windows Media Player library and it will do so that whenever it is connected. Click on "Finish".
  4. to synchronize only some of your library when the player chose automatic, you can choose what will sync when you open Windows Media Player. Click on the portable device in the right pane and drag the items you want to synchronize with this device.
  5. selection of a manual synchronization indicates that the player has detected that the portable device has no place for your entire library. Click on "Finish". Open Windows Media Player, select the portable device in the right pane and drag the items you want to synchronize with this device.

• Why Windows Update service does not work on my computer?

  After a few months of not be used, my Toshiba Satellite L35 (Windows Vista Home Basic; Computer laptop Service Pack 2) can not access Microsoft Updates.  Whenever I try, I get a message "the service is not running" and tells me to restart, I did several times without success.  Norton 360, and Spybot, indicates no problems.

  It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process.  "Update history" produces a blank page.

  It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process.  "Update history" produces a blank page.

  Suggestion 1: Get rid of Norton and Spybot Search and Destroy.  I do not recommend Norton/McAfee products, especially the suites (I recommend NO suites - simple is better.)  Spybot has been a good product, but a few years back, he just stopped doing as well.

  Suggestion 2 (cumulative, not necessarily independent - but maybe): cleaning of your Windows Update stuff...

  All the following items in the order shown - no matter what protection against that, you think you have.

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

  Reset.

  Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update:
  How to reset the Windows Update components?

  Reset.

  Try to get updates.

  If it still does not work, try this...

  1. Start an elevated command prompt.
  2. Run the following commands pressing on enter after each line:
     
     net stop wuauserv
     CD %SystemRoot%\System32
     Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
     net start wuauserv

  3. Reset
  4. Try to reinstall updates

  * Important * When you do this, the following problems occur:

  • Updates that are currently downloaded but which have not yet been installed must be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
  • When you remove the Software Distribution folder, your download history is deleted.
  • If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and Windows Update, you will need to reselect this option from the Windows Update Web site.

  
  * Note * if the problem is resolved and you can successfully download and install the updates, you can delete the directory SoftwareDistribution.old to recover disk space.

  STILL no?

  regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll

  Try updates.

  If it still does not work after this - say parts of the former post once again (no need to conduct a new analysis of malware) from:
