I get an error message 123: time-out when you try to open the class properties dialog in a project.
Here is the image:
Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I need to be able to change the class inheritance and other properties. When you open the properties in a new (empty) project, the dialog box opens very well (as slow as usual, that is). The project contained in this class is very large: something like 1200 live and classes 50 +.
dthor,
Another possible workaround solution, which I think you discussed previously, is to add the class to a new project file and change the properties of the class through this project. I change the properties in a new project will change the properties of your project to VI of 1200. However, you will not be able to change properties in the new draft, while the old project is still open.
Sorry for the inconvience, R & D is trying to solve this problem.

original title: program music keyboard key
How can I change the music button on my keyboard to launch Windows Media Player to launch WinAmp?
Thank you
Drew
As Mike Hall suggested, first look for the keyboard utility and seek to change the keyboard assignment there.
If this option is not available, you can try to change the default program to open files of music. I do not think that "hotkey" keyboard music trying to specifically open Windows Media Play, rather it opens the program assigned as the default value for the music.
So you'll need to get to the default programs control panel applet. To get there:
- Click Start , then Control Panel (in midway up on the right side)
- In the Control Panel window, click programs (not options, just the word more big programs). (If you have your set control panel to displayall items in the Panel control, then the applet default programs will be already visible and available directly)
- The second group of options should be the default programs. The two options here that should be of interest to you are:
Make a file always open in a specific program type and (especially) set your default programs.
You should find everything you need there.
- If this proposal of solution solves your problem, please go back and mark as answer for others to consider.

ERROR: Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. For any additional help, click Help on the Web.
I get the error Windows Media Player 11.0.6001.7007. "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. For any additional help, click Help on the Web frequently. "What happens on the music or video files even those I had on my PC for a long time. They work some days and other days they don't. I have to reboot to clear it and it's really annoying. I can read a file and then 10 minutes later the same file will not play. Sometimes after the error message, if I don't click Close, the video is not yet but the audio will not.
I'm on a laptop HP DV5 with vista 32-bit and 4 GB memory such that shipped HP (Yes, 4 concerts and 32-bit).
I don't know if it was related, but IE7 would continually fail to open, click on through the windows and should be completely closed. essentially the WMV and IE are fails miserably on this laptop, and it was only 6 months old. Firefox fixes my problem of browser.
How can I fix this WMV as I can't UN/reinstall with Vista?
I ran sfc/scannow after completion of the analysis, the results were that "windows resource protection finds corrupted but files could not solve some of them" gives then refers to where the cbs.log file is located. I tried to open the cbs log, and he says that access is denied.
UPDATE: there seems to be a conflict between WMP and any other application that opens which can play the video with sound. When I close firefox, and then the videos and sound can play (these same questions happened on IE7 and firefox was installed just yesterday). I met the same problem with more than Pinnacle video editing software. Is it possible to change a parameter with WMP as there is no sharing violation during a different application can play the video?
SO thanks a lot! I had to use the following steps to get your simple solution:
1. Select Options under the button 'SYNC '.
2. choose 'other Options '.
3. click on the tab 'network '.
4. only check box RTSP/TCP and HTTP and Multicast Streams allow the player Pourrecevoirun multicast stream (which meant I had to uncheck "RSTP/UDP"
5. click on apply and take advantage of my windows media player.
Thanks a lot wmd_user!

Windows Media Player has stopped working, as well as the sharing of multimedia files
My husband told me that he has always had difficulty to play the DVD on WMP. I discovered that it would not play because there was a problem with the audio. I couldn't find the solution to this problem. However, we were able to play, burn and rip CDs until what we downloaded Windows SP2 for Vista Home Basic (32 bit), two days ago. Since then, we have not been able to open the app, and the WMP network sharing Service. I tried to run the Setup program, but it is said that there is a newer version of WMP and it will not replace or repair. I wanted to see if I could find a solution to this problem without having to resort to reinstalling Vista or restore to an earlier point. I also noticed that when the WMP application has been updated July 15 to the new version below, there were times this video Web sites would not play and we would have to restart the computer so that we can read them.

Hi Ronald,.
Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.
According to the description of the problem, it seems that you can not drag video files from a drive on the Windows Media Player.
I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions to help you best:

When I want to burn a CD in Windows Media Player, it shows "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when burning the file to disk". What's wrong? How to fix?
I tried several times to remove the selection to burn and create a new a new but it keep "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when burning the file to delivery" appears what should I do? What problem is it?Hello
1. what file format you are trying to burn?
2. have you made changes on the computer recently?
3. What is the security software installed on the computer?
If it's something you downloaded, it may be copy protected by DRM, in which case you may not burn it to a CD or DVD.
Here are a few things to try:
1. make sure that the disc is clean.
2. try a different brand of blank discs.
3. stop all other programs that are running.
4. make sure that the hard drive does not use disk compression.
I suggest that you follow these steps and check if they help to solve the problem.
Method 1:
Try to use the Troubleshoot utility to see if that solves the problem.
a. open the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel.
(b) in the search box, type "convenience store" and then click Troubleshooting.
c. click on show all and then click the Windows Media Player settings.
Method 2:
Select a recording speed (write) more slow for the CD burner.
Change settings for burning a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player
Method 3:
If you have any third-party burning software, I suggest you temporarily Uninstall it and then try to burn the disc using Windows Media Player.
Note: Reinstall the software after the trial.
Method 4:
Temporarily disable all programs that could activate themselves, while burning is in progress, such as screensavers or anti-virus programs.
