• Windows Media Player 12 has stopped working.

  Windows Media Player 12 has stopped working. When I select an audio track and click on the play button, a red X appears next to the title in the playlist. I uninstalled and reinstalled the player, but also update the drivers. Checking the properties through the device manager says that the device is working properly, but this clearly isn't. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem would be welcome. As a matter of interest, itunes has stopped working at the same time. And audio tracks play fine in RealPlayer.
  Thanks in advance

• Windows Media Player 11 has STOPPED WORKING... XP AND Vista problems

  I have a home network with computers XP and Vista.   Computer XP is Dell Dimension 4600.  Vista computer is HP Pavilion Slimline.

  On or about 6/10, WMP 11 on the Vista computer has stopped working properly.  Video will not play digital video (mpeg format), previously working but playing the audio from the file and the timer updates the video plays.

  Attempt to update the codecs (K-Lite).  Didn't help... now, the native multimedia player K-Lite is the same way.

  Deleting updates 6/10 and later versions.  No change.

  System restore of flowing it at 6/9, 6/5, 6/4.  Restoration is back with "unexpected error".  The logs show a NTFS corrupted and suggested chkdsk run.  Filled with chkdsk c: /R with NO ERRORS.

  Ran SFC/scannow on Vista machine.  He said "no violation of integrity.

  Today (6/14), WMP 11 on XP machine has stopped working.  Videos will be running, but are extremely hectic, like something, it's stealing time CPU; However, the system idle process is higher than 90%.

  What the hell is happening?

  EDIT TO add: I want to stress something else... Movie Maker on both machines still work.  Videos can be imported into and read correctly.

  I had things market... Finally.

  I have none of the above.  I do not have the installation diskettes (OEM on a computer HP... no disks provided with the machine, have only the recovery disks that I made when I configured the system).

  So until I went looking for a set of discs that I use, I did the following... and I * think * I know I could fix it, but I do not know...

  I have re installed the K-Lite codec pack... only of video codecs.  I essentially took the video installation by default EXCEPT... I turned off video acceleration.  Intel Express Chipset not allow me to disable hardware acceleration by using its own GUI and Windows Vista would not touch parameters of acceleration as Intel ordered to them.  Well, I suppose that K-Lite has been able to do what could not do Windows and Intel wouldn't let me do.

  Don't know if that was the fix or not, but everything works now.

• Satellite Pro L20: Adapter WLan has stopped working and will not allow

  Hello

  I have a L20 Pro Satalite, which works very well. However, just before Christmas 2006, the adapter wireless (Atheros AR5005G) has stopped working.

  Windows XP Pro SP2 can see the adapter and network connections shows as being activated, but he sees not all networks.

  The Atheros Client Utility says that the adapter pases troubleshooting TI test diagnosis up to the Radio, when he says that the Radio is disabled and must be enabled in the Client utility.

  'Excellent!', I thought: opening the utility forward. Looked in the Action menu to find "turn on the Radio" is greyed out!

  Help!

  Any help is very welcome.

  See you soon,.

  Barry Smith.

  Is there a hardware option to enable and disable your wireless network card? (switch)
  You upgrade your Wlan driver recently? (If Yes, maybe with the wrong driver?)

  I had a similar problem once and resolved through driver updates... want to give it a try?

  You can download the driver generic Atheros (Version 5.0.0.107) available here:

• Satellite Pro L40 - has stopped working and will not start

  Nothing happening, no spark of life, even if it is plugged to the mains. I have ALL of my info stored on it, including their e-mail addresses...

  (1) is it the battery?

  (2) it is likely that it might be corrected?

  (3) if irreparable, can data be transferred from a laptop dead to another PC or Mac Book of my partner?

  Thank you very much for taking the time to read and thanks I advance for any help, you can be so good as to provide...

  Toni

  Hello!

  Normally, if the boot of t computer doesn't and you can see anything on the screen it s a hardware malfunction, maybe the motherboard needs to be replaced.

  But in your case, I'll try this:
  Remove the AC adapter and the battery. Wait one hour, then reconnect the two devices. Try to start the laptop.

  If it doesn't work, you need to contact a service provider for help. They can check the laptop and determine the cause of this problem.

  And your data, you can easily without danger on the other computer. Just put the HARD drive in the external HARD drive enclosure. You can then connect the HARD drive to another laptop to backup data.
  But normally all data should be backed up already! ;)

• Receive the error "Windows Media Center Receiver Service stopped working and was closed" after the video card replaced

  I have a HP computer with Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) Service Pack 2.  He has a VISX PureTV tuner card and already had an NVidia GeForce 8400 graphics card.  This Setup has worked well for 2.5 years until what the graphics card died last week.  It has been replaced with an ATI Radeon HD3450 and both all Windows updates have made current.  Since that time, the TV tuner did not work.

  When you sign in to an account, it gives the error message "Windows Media Center Receiver Service stopped working and was closed".  I can use Media Center to watch the recorded video before, but if I try to watch live TV he hangs up and close Media Center.  If I try to configure the TV connection in Media Center it tells me that there is no tuner card.

  I looked at the map and see no problem and I tried it back in place.  He has the most up to date drivers (so does the new Radeon graphics btw).  I tried "Uninstall" in the Manager of devices and then put it back, but it was not good.

  "Windows Media Center Receiver Service Stopped Working and was closed" I tried all the fixes I've seen this error.

  I tried all the things I saw here and elsewhere related to this issue.  I did a "clean boot" with all non-Windows services and the disabled startup process.  He always did the same thing and gave the same mistakes.  It seems to be linked to a Windows service, and I hesitate to begin deactivation to track down.

  I ran 'sfc' in mode 'cmd' and he found no problem and none of the files to be fixed or could not fix.

  In the list of services, I changed the login for "Windows Media Center Receiver Service" to "Local System account", Local Service, Network Service and individual accounts, but no permits.

  I'm afraid I'm at the point of having to reload the Vista, but I don't know how to do this and want to avoid at all costs.  I don't have the recovery disks and software.  Is this enough?  Can I reinstall from the recovery disks without wiping everything aft of the configuratiion with which it was delivered?  I guess personal files will be OK (although I don't know this for sure), but I'm afraid I'll have to reinstall other applications, my family has developed over time and perhaps lose the media protected by DRM licenses.

  Someone has encountered anything like this or have any suggestions?

  Well, I finally stumbled into the solution.  It was caused by a conflict with another application.

  A few weeks before the card failure I had installed a program called video capture Replay Video Capture that I had bought a few months ago and never used.  However, at this time where everything including the TV tuner and Media Center worked well that's why I associate the problem with this software.  The problem comes after the system is rebooted the first time after installation.  In my case, it has not been rebooted until a few weeks later as part of the recovery of the fault of the graphics card.  Suddenly, the TV tuner did not work and I get the error messages mentioned in this title of the thread.

  I was at the end of my rope with this and was just to clean your system to do a reformat and reinstallation.  I uninstalled the Replay Videa Capture program to move it to another computer, and when you restart the computer I noticed that the error message disappeared.  Of course I went to the Media Center and could set up my TV tuner card and watch television.

  Looking for some info on this conflict, I found the following. (http://forum.applian.com//showthread.php?847-Conflicts-between-RVC-and-XP-Media-Center-OS&s=c0aec9897b51d550c47b919e73e59bfc)  It is difficult to say who is at fault in the present.  I'm sure that Microsoft accuses Applian for the encoder to mpeg (mcm2ve.ax) used in Replay Video Capture, while Applian says that the problem is a Windows process (ehrec.exe) that works all the time, hogging the tuner on the system device.  According to Applian other products similar to theirs have this conflict as well due to the process of Windows.

  Fortunately, there is a solution in this case.  Applian has released a new version of Replay Video Capture (version 4.2) that uses a different mpeg encoder and eliminates the problem.  Given the surprising lack of info about it on the Microsoft Web site, I wonder how many other people with this unresolved issue dealing with the same thing as me.  If you're like me and you don't usually need to reboot your PC for a few weeks at a time, you may never know to associate the problem with the application.  What a waste countless hours trying to diagnose, and most disconcerting, that's what I was about to go through a reformat and reinstall because of this.

  Thought I'd post here my problem resolution in the hope that it might help someone else.

  The only effective solution is to reset the file preferences... it has been damaged by trying to create a catalog with the invalid jpeg.

  The instructions to reset the catalog are here: given to zero (or "Screw up") the preferences of Lightroom - Lightroom Forums file

  When you have done this, place you and double click on the correct catalog and LR should then start OK.

• "Windows Media Center Receiver service stopped working and was closed" - Windows Vista Home Premium SP2

  Several times, I get the error message "Receiver Service Windows Media Center has stopped working and was closed".  Windows then search a problem and suggests that I run the update.  I run the automatic update and am completely up to date.

  Any ideas of what could be the cause?

  Thank you

  Then, I found my problem.  I have installed the Tivo Desktop Plus.  The codecs it uses to convert to different formats somehow in conflict.  So, I had to rename some of the files and he immediately recognized my Tuner card and Media Center is back to life.

• Vista: All Windows updates suspended / "Module of Windows Installer has stopped working and Will Close."

  On my installation of Vista, all windows updates no longer work.  If I try and run them from Windows Update in Control Panel one starts to run but then it just hangs.  At the same time, I get a message "Windows install Module has stopped working and closes".  If you look in the services, it is crushed, but restarts.  The update remains always hung.  It doesn't matter what update I try and run, I always get the same result.

  When the computer is shut down, it also tries to automatically install updates.  These also hang on the first, which means that I have to force power off the computer.

  Don't know if this is related, but I don't think that SP2 already installed - it kept if crush (don't remember what was the error message).  When I restart in safe mode it tells me that I'm still on SP1.  I followed all the suggestions on how to get SP2 installed for the error I received, but nothing has worked.

  Do not really understand what I have really installed a lot of "_" on the PC, it is a "clean" installation (about 1 year now).

  Any ideas?  Really, I don't want to have to do a re-install, but I suspect that is where I'm heading unfortunately.

  Hi AndrewInNZ,

  Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!
   
  I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue:
   
  (a) did you try to temporarily disable the security software and check if updates are smooth?
   
  (b) you are using a firewall in addition in instead of the windows firewall? If so disable (temporarily) of the third party firewall and look for updates.
  It is usually caused by a 3rd party firewall that it blocks the internal ports.

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.
