    Hello, I am very new to this and get the above message.  I am trying to import WMV files.  I changed the format to MOV with format factory although the video would play in Movie Maker he had no sound with the MOV format.  Now, I can't even import the file.

    Hello, I am very new to this and get the above message.  I am trying to import WMV files.  I changed the format to MOV with format factory although the video would play in Movie Maker he had no sound with the MOV format.  Now, I can't even import the file.

    ======================================
    I suspect that the file is corrupted or damaged in some way...
    It was probably a problem with the MOV file before
    He converted.

    In many cases, I found that convert a. WMV file
    to the. WMV format could produce a new version of the
    compatible file. Sounds redundant, I know, but it
    can work.

    Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 can perform the conversion.

    Download Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) (freeware)

    Also... it can depending on the version of Movie Maker...

    Click the restore all default settings / OK.

    If you want to try Expression Encoder 4 following

    Start Microsoft Expression Encoder 4

    On the "Load a new project" screen...
    Left click... "Transcoding project '...

    When the program opens, click on... File / import...

    Left click (highlight) the. Left and WMV file, click the Open button.

    You will see the file in the "Multimedia content" pane

    In the right column... left click on the tab "Output"...

    Open the drop directory window and choose an output folder.
    (This is where you will find your converted file)

    On the left, click on the button "encode".

    Wait... video encoding CPU intensive and can
    be a slow process. It is always best if you do not have
    multi-task while files are encoded.

  • The /drm-web-client/Logon.aspx file was not precompiled and cannot be requested.

    Hi all

    We currently use DRM Version 11.1.2.2.302 patch.

    We are facing the error when we open the web console below.

    The /drm-web-client/Logon.aspx file was not precompiled and cannot be requested.

    It used to work very well and we see that this web configuration file has been updated. I assume that there is a problem with Internet Information services.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Cannot open SCSI device ' devices/vmfs/genscsi / vmhba3:5:0:0 '(scsi3:0): the file is not found. Cannot configure scsi3.

    Cannot open SCSI device ' devices/vmfs/genscsi / vmhba3:5:0:0 '(scsi3:0): the file is not found. Cannot configure scsi3.

    I get this error when you add a new SCSI device to one of my Virtual Machines, the device is a tape drive HP SureStore DAT40. The error occurs when the virtual machine is running, around 60% powerup.

    I tried two types of SCSI cards, a "Adaptec 29160N" & a "Adaptec 29160LP" and two different cables, I get the same error with both. The ESX 3i 3.5.0 host to see two SCSI cards when checking under Configuration and then to storage adapters. When you click the SCSI card in the adapters of ESXi storage options, I see the tape drive listed as vmhba3:5:0 for the band and vmhba3:5:1 for the media changer. This makes me believe that, from the point of view compatibility, everything is good to go.

    When I change the instance of VM to add the tape drive, I select new SCSI device which passes next to select the SCSI device in the options, I see HP - HP and media - bands like peripheral parts possible. I tried a variety of virtual device nodes and they all produce the same error that has been pasted above. When ok is clicked it adds the new SCSI device and a new SCSI Controller 1 using the LSI Logic Controller, I also tried all the options under this menu, 'None', 'Virtual' 'Physical' and I have even changed the Type of controller BusLogic, same results even if I get the error posted above.

    The server in question is a Dell PowerEdge 2850, 2 x 3 GHz CPU, 8 GB of RAM, 300 + GB HD.

    I searched the net and these forums and did not find any post about the error posted above, I have some hair left on my head and I don't know what to do at this point. What is a compatibility issue? I tried to add the SCSI device on another virtual computer on the same ESXi host and it gives me the same error. I know the tape drive, scsi cards, and two scsi cables, I am using all work correctly.

    Any ideas?http://communities.vmware.com/images/emoticons/confused.gif

  • I get this error message 'The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded' when I try to go to Firefox home. I uninstalled the modules, uninstaleed and reinstalled a new fresh firefox which did not help

    I get the following error message 'The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded' when I try to go to firefox home. I uninstalled modules, uninstalled Firefox and then install a new version. Still have the problem.
    Thanks for the help

    This problem may be caused by a corrupt installation of Visual C++ or incomplete (several versions can be installed-by-side; SxS) it lacks certain runtime components (redistributable Packages), which depends on Firefox (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).

    You need to install the missing components (for example, Redistrbutable end 2005 ++).
