Windows XP - installation of Realplayer changed audio and video icons

Running XP Home on my laptop.  I installed Realplayer and all of a sudden all the audio and video elements icons have changed.

I went into preferences/Options in Realplayer and Windows Media Player to select the default reader for WMP files, and while files now open with WMP, the icons are still those changed.

In the past, the minute I change associations (i.e. the value of the default WMP player), the icons changed as well, but it doesn't now.

How to restore the original icons, i.e. If a file is associated with WMP, how can I get the icon to show that it's a WMP icon?

Thank you

    Recently when I watch videos (be it youtube, shake, DVD or videos on my hard drive) apparently at random my audio and video will be stutter.

    I tried to disable hardware acceleration, it did not help. I have the latest video and audio drivers (that I know) and it seems to happen more predictable when I run a software intensive treatment like utorrent, it is not get recorded by the recorder of camtasia studio or bandicam (first being a screenshot while the second is a game of capture) I tried to catch in the Act to make a short video to demonstrate the problem , but he has not registered. the video seems quite well with no stutter.

    My version of windows is up to date and I am completely baffled because I did not install anything new in the last few weeks, but this problem started about 2 weeks ago.
    What is my problem? Y at - he of the info, I did not think I should? If so let me know what and I will update this
    Update 1: this issue is still not resolved, despite the installation of codecs and update of the adobe flash player, I always get the question every time I launch a program or open a new tab in google chrome

    I had the same problem. I have exeprienced a random 1-2 dry freeze when I played games online (for example, League of Legends, Maple Story, etc.) or on my gaming laptop youtube videos. After countless trials and errors, the problem solved when I disabled the "NVIDIA device Audio (Extensible Wave) (WDM)"audio driver in Device Manager.

  • Unlink the Audio and video in gray in the first 13 items (Windows 8.1) [new user]

    I posted (or at least I thought the post worked) this Mar.27th question, but I can not find it or that the answers I have gotten so if anyone knows his comings and goings, I would appreciate you tell me how to see while I have 2 threads running for the same question. My question is: why is the ability to separate audio and video tracks greyed when I am trying to replace the part of an audio clip (without ruining the synchronization between audio and video existing). I work with a saved file "projectX.prel". I noticed when I opened a new project that the option to break the LINK is active. This seems contrary logic is to say action to break the link would be more likely to be needed when you are working on an existing file as opposed to when you are working on a new file? How can we separate the 2 components (audio & video) so I can just edit the audio clip without the work of procedure to break the LINK? Would appreciate any help anyone can offer with the foregoing. Thank you.

    First broadcast 13 elements 8.1 on windows 64-bit. Have you updated to the 13 to 13.1 yet? If this isn't the case, please do so using Help Menu/updates to date of an open project.

    But for the immediate question...

    I don't see any sign of a previous post you so I'm not sure what happened to your prior shipment.

    When you import a file that contains the video and audio, they come into Premiere Elements project related - party video presenting the

    Video of track 1 and the audio portion on the Audio 1 track.

    If you want to unlink the audio of the video

    a. Select/highlight the chronology of the record and go to video Menu/unlink Audio and video and click it. It does not work.

    or

    b. right click on the file of chronology, and in the drop-down menu, find and click on remove the Audio and video link.

    or

    c. hold down the ALT of the main keyboard to the computer and click drag the audio from the video.

    Please consult the bulletin and review, and then let us know the result.

    If any questions or need any clarification, do not hesitate to ask.

    Thank you.
