View 9 Replies View RelatedI need MPEG Layer-3!I’ve installed my old XP Sound Recorder into my new (Vista) computer. It works… but lacks the MPEG Layer-3 Format I need for compressing WAVs.In his earlier reply to me at http://www.vistax64.com/sound-audio/189750-vista-vs-xp-sound-recorder.html , sanantonio007 says he can now access MPEG Layer-3 in XP Sound Recorder after following Brady Lee’s instructions here: This Missing CODEC thing is making me crazy Lee’s instructions say that the “missing” codec problem is due to a Windows/System 32 file that should read l3codecp.acm instead of l3codeca.acm. Lee goes on to describe a regedit modification to change the l3codeca.acm file to l3codecp.acm.
However, I already have a l3codecp.acm file in Windows/System 32 (as well as the “erroneous” l3codeca.acm.) So that doesn’t look like my solution. Someone else told me that if I downloaded the MPEG Layer-3 codec from a dbpoweramp music converter link, it would install itself everywhere - & my XP Sound Recorder would be back up and running. Has anyone tried that? Does anyone know if (or where) I could get just the dbpoweramp MPEG Layer-3 codec, & not lots of other stuff I don’t need or want? Better yet… does anyone have a simpler solution? All I want is to run my old XP Sound Recorder in Vista – WITH the MPEG Layer-3 Format WAV compression format,
I like MS but hate it when they screw around with a good program. Sound Recorder in Pre-Vista Windows was a simple but useful program. Sound Recorder in Vista is a severly crippled version that only records in one format without being able to select other compression formats.
I copied Sound Recorder from XP (renamed it Sound Recorder XP) and copied it to my Vista machine. It works but only has the "stock" compression options. I installed l3codeca.acm (Mpeg Layer3) and placed it in my System32 folder but it still doesn't show up as an option in Sound Recorder XP.
How can I get the Mpeg Layer3 option to show up as an option in Sound Recorder XP on Vista? Can I even do this? I remeber seeing something about MS changing something in Vista so it won't recognize MP3 code programs.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am currently using my Dell Inspiron in safe mode as I cannot use it in normal mode without freezing soon after loading. For some reason, the Ms Help page says there is a prob with my Product ID so I can't get help there unless I pay for it. I have just had Service Pack 2 installed but the problem started before that upgrade. Also, in device manager, under Network Adaptors, I have 6TO4 adapters 'unable to start' and also ISATAP adapters similarly unable to start. Would these events be the cause of the freezing? I don't have more than 1 anti-virus running.

Since I first startet it my Windows Vista Home Premium has problems with sharing my RAM with more than one process. If I just open one application like 3d max, I can use my full 2GB of RAM. But if I start an internet explorer, a media player and some folders totally using 1GB of RAM, the context menus don't show completely or not at all, folders don't open with the explorer but some other program (mainly my media player). I tried everything, but I just can't resolve that problem.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am confused. I recently purchased a brand new Toshiba Satellite laptop (from a very well known retail vendor). I have Windows Vista Basic running on it. For reasons I won't go into right now (but perhaps in a later post after this), you might say I was forced into doing a little research on my laptop in order to determine whether it is a 32 or 64 bit operating system. Well I found out that my version of Windows Vista Home Basic is 32-bit. However, I am also aware that it is available in a 64-bit version. I also found out that there is such as thing as Windows Vista Starter Edition, which supposedly is the ONLY version of Vista which is NOT 64 bit. If this is true, then why does my System Information tell me that I am running a 32 bit version of Vista Home Basic edition? I do not understand this.
Let me clarify something very quickly here. I am a Computer Networking major at the present time. I do not need someone to speak to me in terms which only someone who doesn't know who to turn on a computer would understand. Lastly, let me also clarify one last thing (hopefully). If there is such as thing as a 64 bit version of Vista Home Basic, then why does my laptop only have the 32 bit version? Is this because I have the "starter" edition, and in order for me to get the better one I would need to actually PAY to upgrade? But why in the world would I need to actually have to PAY in oder to get nothing more than yet a DIFFERENT edition of the exact same OS that I am already running on this laptop of mine? To me, either Windows or Toshiba would have made this a whole lot easier to understand if they would simply have made a DISTINCTION between Vista Starter edition and Vista Home Basic.
I am wondering if it is possible that I could create a new partition on my Vista home basic just for storage for pictures and document files mainly. If I could do this, would it help the speed of the computer? If so, how would I go about doing this? And, once stored in the new partition, would I be able to open them as normal? I already
use flash drives, etc for storage, but have run out of room on both of those, and just cant afford to buy more right now. I need to speed up this pc, and I know the vast number of pictures and documents and scans I have on here are probably the main culprit for slowing it down. (I do genealogy, and ebay- and have huge number of pictures relating to both, as well as text documents, .rtf files, .pdf files, .doc, etc).
many websites show the minimum system requirements for vista home basic: they say 512 mb ram will do. i have this "old" pc (p4 1.7 ghz, 3 x 256 mb ram, geforce6200 64-bit), a "siemens scenic t", and i am wondering if "home basic" will run smootly on this machine. although it meets the minimum system requirements, i need to know if "home basic" _will_ run smoothly on this computer. nothing "special" will be done on this machine, just internet, some basic word processing ?? la ms word, opening photographs, listening to music (mp3), watching the average online movie like on Internet. before i spend money on vista (home basic) for this computer, i sort of need to know if it will run "normally" with the above mentioned specifications.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe other day my compter was working just fine, until the battery died and it shut off. Ever since then, when I start it up McAfee doesn't open at start up, or at all for that matter. And, everytime I double click on the shortcut, the picture comes up, but it just stays that way, and then the desktop freezes. And, when I try to open something that needs permission to continue, like when I right click and select "Run as administrator, nothing happens. Also, when I try to uninstall something, nothing happens. The internet icon on the taskbar is always frozen, indicating that there's no connection, when there actually is.
Most programs do the same as McAfee, althought Internet Explorer 8 works, but not well. It stops working alot and hulu videos don't work for instance. Also, anytime I try to download something on IE8, it quickly jumps to 99% and stops there. And, whenever I try system restore in help, the window stops responding. My mom thinks that it might be a virus from a song that she downloaded on LimeWire 5.1.1 PRO. But again, McAfee won't work. And my registry cleaning software won't open, because it has to ask permission. Which doesn't work. Windows Update doesn't even respond when I open it. What should I do?
What is VIsta Basic (as opposed to Vista Home, Pro, or Ultimate)? A local retailer has the ACER 5516 laptop for less than $300, but it says it has Windows Vista Basic - that makes me wonder what features you don't get. Wht features will Vista Basic not have that Vista Home would?
View 6 Replies View Relatedalready has a Vista Home Basic trial installed but it has ended by now. It also has a couple of drivers already installed. However I have an OEM CD of Vista Business 64 that I'm going to use and I also want to have Vista to be in it's own partition. It's been a long time I had to format and create partitions so I don't remember much. And it was with XP then, not Vista. I was planning to format the drive and then install Vista Business 64, but I've been told I can simply select an 'upgrade' option from Home Basic to Business and keep the rest as it is. Is this true?
I also know you can create a partition in Vista, but can it be created in the drive where Vista is already installed? Like for example it's installed on a 640GB drive. Can I split it and have Vista be in a 80GB drive while the other 560GB are in a new completely empty partition? Also, in case I decide to format instead, should I do Quick Format or Format? I've been told the only thing normal format does is check for errors at the end. Taking in consideration that Vista Home Basic is currently installed is Quick Format acceptable?

1.It is possible to create a Vista Install DVD allowing ??? in case of serious problems with the hardware on one PC ??? to format the hard disk and reload the Operating System, Configuration, Programs and LAN configuration (not exceeding 2 or 3 GB of disk space for the image) just by loading the Install DVD, without the need for calling any expert to solve the situation. I have to explain that recently a similar situation occurred and it took three hours of an expert???s time to reload the whole configuration and programs on the PC concerned.
2.If the answer to the above point is yes, what are the simple steps to follow to achieve what described at above point 1.
A friend found out that I have a Vista computer so he brought me his wife's computer to find out why it is so slow. I have no problems with mine but this Vista Home Basic PC is ungodly slow. Just to open an Explorer window takes over 90 seconds. I scheduled a checkdisk and ran it on the next reboot. I defragged and ran the disk cleanup wizard. I downloaded and reinstalled the ATI video drivers after seeing an eror message about ATI. It is slightly faster but not enough to make any difference to the user. Where do I find the diagnostics, or logs or something that can tell me what is slowing it down so that I can fix it? I couldn't find a diagnostic on the eMachine site. My last option will be to reformat and start over but I'd rather not do that if there is a way to fix it instead. It's an eMachine with only 512 MB RAM, but it did run much faster when new. Intel Pentium 3.0 GHz, 160 GB HDD. Also the wireless card is very slow, but the wired connection is pretty fast for downloading.
