Windows Media Player makes me crazy

• Windows Media Player makes calls of NOR-fast Motion (Revisited)

  About 2 years ago, I posted a message on this forum about a condition where running Windows Media Player increased the rate that my Visual Basic 6 program has been able to contact a PCI-7344 Panel using calls OR-Motion (original post). To summarize the post, my VB program be called functions OR-Motion speed after that the computer is started and simply in the process of running Windows Media Player would allow my program make calls of NOR-faster Motion. I created a program demo, posted and was able to reproduce the situation constantly using several different computers & cards PCI-7344. However, no one at National Instruments could reproduce that; It seems that the calls function always ran fast for them and never ran slowly. I finally gave up and let the issue of dying and said reluctantly, our customers just start WMP to increase the speed of the machine.

  Now, I'm working on rewriting the software to the machine using VB.NET 2008 and Windows 7. My first hope was that the problem had gone with either the new VB, or Windows 7, but that doesn't seem to be the case. When I was with Windows XP, I could get recall for an improvement of the functions running WMP. With Windows 7, I can not get the increased rate even after the execution of WMP.

  Today, I took two new computers identical and loaded Windows XP on Windows 7 and one on the other. I put a new PCI-7344 card in each computer. I then installed version 8.2 of NO-Motion on each. With the exception of Microsoft .NET 3.5, which is necessary for my test VB.NET program, no other software has been installed, do not even Visual Basic. I started on each PC, ran my test program to determine the calls/sec, start Windows Media Player and my test program is represented. Here are the results:

  Test Windows XP & VB 6 program-128/s before launching WMP, 1024 Kbps after the execution of WMP

  Test of Windows XP & VB.NET 2008-128/s before WMP program, 1024 Kbps after WMP

  VB 6-256 calls/s before launching WMP, 256 Kbps calls after execution of WMP and Windows 7 test program

  Windows 7 test program and VB.NET - 256 Kbps calls before you launch WMP, 256 Kbps calls after execution of WMP

  As you can see, WMP has increased the rate of call of function OR-Motion on Windows XP, but has no effect in Windows 7. In addition, it did not matter which version of Visual Basic has been used.

  My first question is: what determines the rate at which he called on a NOR-Motion function? It seems that the maximum is 1024/s, which is consistent with what I saw 2 years ago even on slower computers. I would have thought that would be a faster PC function calls could also be made faster, but appears not to be the case. And is there some significance at 128, 256, and 1024 rates?

  My next question is: someone at - it else noticed faster or slower speeds using NOR-Motion after moving to Windows 7?

  The software that I work on the controls, a machine used on a production floor where the cycle time is critical and even save a fraction of a second can be important. With Windows XP, we have reduced the cycle time of 5 or 6 seconds by running WMP. We would like to start using Windows 7, but we won't be able to if it means cycle slower times on our machines.

  The source code for VB 6 and VB.NET 2008 for the demo program is attached. This is the computer that I used for the test today, but I was also able to reproduce this on computers Dell, LS, Xycom and Allen-Bradley. I also used several different versions of NOR-Motion and WMP with the same results.

  
  

• Method used by Windows Media Player error correction

  Hello.

  Could someone tell me - in technical terms - that the option "use error correction" in Windows Media Player makes when copying audio CD tracks?

  I would like to make possible more precise PMR using WMP, but the lack of information about the method used by WMP special error correction makes it difficult know when or even if you need to select the option.

  For example, I wonder if the use of error correction could result in a less accurate RIP (for example, if the method used favors estimate on rereads multiples of a CD damaged surface.) Also, for example, assuming that the error correction is always beneficial, I wonder if it is always worth the burden of extra time (for example, tearing a new CD with no surface damage.)

  I am aware that the audio CD support a system of "forward error correction", that is to correct errors code being inserted in the music of the data from the drive. What is the allusion makes WMP error correction? (If Yes, then why don't I have hear occasional noise and click in the .wma file generated when "use error correction" is unchecked?)

  A technical response would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

• Windows Media Player continues to appear makes unusable keyboard

  Hello, I have a Satellite A135-S2276 laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.

  My problem starts when the keyboard is wet by the rain. I replaced the keyboard and whenever I hit him any key on the keyboard windows media player appears and makes the unusable keyboard. I tried everything to fix, uninstall and reinstall the software and the hardware, but still does not work. Checked the device manager says its working properly. Uninstall media player in Add/Remove Programs, don't disable services, windows media player, still no luck. I have'nt tried regedit still do not know what to change it.

  You have an idea? Is there a any function that could block the keyboard? But I do not, coz I can type a number/letters of 1-2 then the wmp appears and I can't type more. There is no numlk/stop scroll on this keyboard. The keyboard was shortened to media player. I can use the computer without a problem using an external keyboard.
  I spend a lot of time trying to fix it, but the problem won't go away.

  Could you help me please? Thank you

  The problem is quite complicated and it is not easy to understand what the problem is here.

  What you need is the final hardware/software keyboard and test functionality. So I recommend you to get somewhere HDD and replace the original one. On this new HARD drive install OS using the original Toshiba Recovery disk you got with your laptop.

  After doing this you will be perfectly installed OS with perfectly configured hardware. Do not install some additional software test just keyboard and the functionality of WMP. If everything is OK, you know that the keyboard works properly and described problem may somehow be software related issue.

  If the problem persists you know for sure that the described problem is hardware related issue and it should be repaired.

  In my opinion, it's easier to know what is the real problem.

• Cannot play songs from "m4a" Windows Media Player or Movie Maker, purchased & downloaded on iTunes songs

  My PC: Windows Vista Business

  Problem: I am changing a video with Windows Movie Maker. To add music, I bought and downloaded a number of songs with my iTunes account. The songs play on my PC only when you use the iTunes software. The extension of file on the songs is "m4a".

  M4A is not a compatible format. The simple solution

• How to make Windows Media Player and Real Player STOP my each image stored in MS Paint - loading Vista

  More specifically, when I open Windows Media Player or Real Player to view the photos uploaded from my cameras, players are full of 2,000

  images, I stored in MS Paint.  I need these images in MS Paint for reference material for my work.  They are all the print screen shots pasted in MS Paint.

  What I want, it's for Real Player and Windows Media Player to be used only to store the photos from my camera.  I don't want these other 2,000 images in there, because they make it very difficult to manage all 2,000 of them when looking to find photos of the camera that are much more limited.

  So, basically, I don't want media players store these images of MS Paint.  And I hope that I do not need to delete one by one or in boots.  And I don't want to accidentally remove it from my computer.  I just keep them in the painting.     Please tell us how to proceed, if possible.

  Media Player is not all image acquisition to import videos from cameras.

  But let me clarify: Media Player also does not maintain a library index more (this is bad for performance).  When you browse through your photo library by clicking on the links on the left side of the media player, it's just browsing through files as if you open the window of your file and you click on the image on the left side of the library.  The two are different programs, but they both go through the same places as a folder view, so there is no worry about the index of the media player clog, because it is not a plus.

  Example:

  

  Media Player does not index more, it uses just the file system.  If you right click and select properties of the picture library, this is where you control the locations it reflects in its scope.  It is not a folder (nothing can be stored "in"a library".  The circled "3 locations" is another way to access the same.

• Project Windows Movie Maker won't play in Windows Media Player

  I created a 'film' in Windows Movie Maker - not a bad little program.  I used to be a professional video tape, and you can do things with Movie Maker and that you can't do with the edition of tape cassette - even in a television station in a big city.

  The film plays well in Movie Maker, but he won't play in Windows Media Player (Version 11).  I have Vista Home Version on my computer.

  I want to be able to send e-mail to friends and family who do not have Windows Movie Maker - but have Windows Media Player (not sure which versions have all my friends).  Until now, whenever I try to play the movie in Media Player, I get the following message:

  This page does not give me the solution to the problem and gives me no option to download/install the codec I need.  I don't know what a codec is and don't really care to know.    I just need to know:

  Should which codec I?

  Where can I download it?

  What are the two products of Microsoft.  Can they be compatible?  One of the options presented during "editing" the file is to be sent by e-mail.  Not much good if the e-mail recipient is unable to play.

  I can also play the movie using Real Player or I-Tunes - but it of okay for me if they work in these players or not, since my friends and family would be no players on their computers.
