I have a minor but annoying problem with playing movies or videos in VMC. Once you have watched the Mov/Vid and stop it and say you are done it sits in the main screen menu as now playing - eventually to start again of its own accord. The only way to stop this happening is to close VMC and reopen it.
I don't know why but sometimes movies and such are played upside down in WMP, I opened the file in windows movie maker the first time it happened, thinking it was just the file, so I was going to turn it around, but in WMM the file played right side up. I tried it in VLC Media player, and again it played right side up. Then I ripped a dvd and again it was upside down in media player but other players played it right side up. Now it's not ALL videos that play upside down, only some, I"m not sure what's going on. does anyone know how to fix this?

recently I have connected my laptop (Toshiba A135-S4467) to my CRT TV via S-video. this laptop came with a Vista home premium 32bit OS. I have converted it to XP Pro. when I watched movie files (at any player, any file type) on the TV (I used extended desktop option) there was no problem. 2 weeks ago I have re-converted the laptop to Vista OS (using Toshiba's restore disks). and now the problem: when I try to watch movie file (DVD, AVI, MPEG....) on the TV (with any player) the picture has for distortions that can be seen only on the TV screen and not on the computer LCD. I'm using the same hardware as with the XP and I'm using the same TV and the same settings. changing the resolution hasn'the distortion can be seem like offset lines in the middle of the screen.
I normally use Windows DVD maker to burn movies and for some unknown reason, it just won't burn :/ So, in order not to wait forever for the encoding stage AND finding out I still have a burning issue, I then founf a program called 'ConvertxToDVD' which I'm sure your familiar with. Encoded my movie perfect, but same problem, will not burn, although, it did get to something like 48% but then spat it out. I don't understand why its doing this as I have never had this problem before hand until now (my luck only) and to top things off, my DVD+RW won't erase.
I browsed the internet and came across this website to do with IDE/SATA and my properties wasn't the same as this persons. Instead of showing 'Master'and 'Primary' mine shows 'Port 0' and 'Port 1' -surely there's something wrong?
This guide shows you the way to convert 'DVD video to AVI' format with uncompressed codec and less compressed codec to play on Windows Media Player, to further edit video, to import AVI video to PowerPoint, Windows Movie Maker, and so on.DVD generally stands for Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc. DVD, providing large space and interactive content, has been widely used as data storage of video, audio, games, presentation, and so on. For DVDs with movies, there are three kinds of files under the VIDEO_TS folder, i.e. VOB, IFO, and BUP files. A VOB contains data for video (generally MPEG-2), audio and subtitles. IFO Files contain the data for player navigation, such as the start of a chapter, the control of subtitle, and so on. BUP files are just backup files of the IFOs.............
I have had this new HP vista media centre computer for 2 weeks, and can't get Media Centre to play 1/2 the 500 gb worth of movies that my old XP media Centre played without any trouble at all! Some are MPEG-4, others are div-x, some are Dvd format. I have seen others with similar posts in other forums and I have loaded up all the lates codecs (safe one) from Divx, and ffdshow etc... I have to play all my movies with Nero or Media Player, which both have no issues with. I feel like this is a dud, and can't believe that a full hard recovery is worth the trouble.
I bought a Fujitsu siemans laptop for my son Amilo PI. When i try to download music /movies etc from various sites my laptop crashes or freezes every time .Ive updated vista but to no avail.
I bought a new computer--a COMPAQ f756nr notebook PC--and Vista was pre-installed. I connect to the internet via wireless modem and use cable internet connection. Everything looks terrible to me versus my old laptop computer--a Toshiba--and my old system, XP. I brought my computer back to Best Buy and the Geek Squad reps there looked at the computer and told me it was fine, just the way Vista looks on a computer and I should get used to it. Since I got this computer last week, I'm absolutely miserable and don't know what to do. I used to watch tv shows on my computer and email pictures but everything looks so bad.

Using Vista Home Premium, IE8 is constantly closing - that is, a message box tells me something happened and IE has to close. Most of the time, I just 'X' out the message box and IE does NOTclose.
With windows xp you only needed to ctrl-alt-del to view running programs and close them, before installing new software. How do you close programs for xp?
I have a Dell XPS M1530 and recently it has stopped going into sleep mode. Whenever I try to put my laptop to sleep its pretty much like it "restarts." I hear the 2 clicks from the cd drive and then after login all of my programs are booting up again.I have already checked the power settings in the control panel. Mylaptop is set to go to sleep when the lid is closed on both battery and ac.
Additionally, my laptop goes to sleep whenever I manually use "Fn + F1" and when I press "start - sleep." Has anyone had this problem before? How did you fix it?
Since I had my Vista Small Business reinstalled, Excel is closing down and sometimes restarting again. Sometimes just closing down. After it has reopened automatic I can close without problems. The closing down also often happens upon opening a new Excel page when Excel is open. See attachment. I have complained to the company who did the reinstallation but the claim that it is a Microsoft probloem which has nothing to do with the reinstallation. I have reinstalled Office Enterprise 2007 with no effect. When the problem started I received a message from HP that it was due to selecting the Printer HP Photosmart C5180 as default. I have tried to make another printer default but it has no effect. The computer is a Lenovo Think Pad T-61.
My CD Tray is now opening and closing every 2 min. If i put in a disk, such as a game disk, and start the game, the tray will stop opening and closing. Once I stop the game, the tray starts opening and closing again.

I have run Norton 360, it shows no vurus or spyware.
I just brought a new laptop with vista home premium 64 bit 4G RAM. However, while i'm playing a online game for about every 10 minutes, it just closed by itself and didn't give me any warnings. It can stay w/ no problem on the game login page but just not in the game. I'm wondering is there problem with the graphic card? I had tried 2 different brand laptop with 64 bit 4G RAM, both have the same problem. But the game worked well with my old laptop with vista home premium 32 bit 3G RAM.
I have 4 user identities on my computer. Three of them work no problem. When I go into my user id (which is also the admin ID) it automatically reboots the computer. The computer starts up to the normal screen with the 4 user IDs on it. And as soon as I log into my ID it reboots in about 5 seconds once again. keeps happening. All 3 other IDs work fine. Whats up and can I fix it? I ran a McAfee full scan and nothing came up.
The problem I am having with Windows mail is that when i open it to check mail it starts to check the accounts, then it says "windows has encoutered a problem" "checking for a solution" then the dreaded "there is no fix, im going to close" If I am persistant and keep reopening the program it will eventually check all the emails, but then will prompt an error in 10 min and ask me to close the program. Is there some problem that no fix has been released for this?
An odd thing as occured in the past week. I am using Vista 64bit OS. As we all know, when we click the (x) in the upper right to close a web page, it should close on one click. Also when going to the task bar and right clicking to close the page. It is taking me three or more clicks to close the page. The back arrow seems un-affected. The open web page seems to hang and then closes.I have no problems in closeing normal windows within the os.I've checked for malware using malwarebytes and nothing comes up. I also have no viruses according to my payed version of AVG. I keep my system clean of junk files etc.
I've just got a new laptop which has Vista Basic on. Everything seemed fine until I tried playing MPEG 2 videos: the video itself looked fine but there was no audio. I've spent hours on this now and I still can't find an answer to my problem. I'm getting desperate now:
I have a problem with Windows Movie Maker. I can import audio and pictures but somehow I can't import videos. I have the correct codecs. Here's a screenshot
I am having trouble trying to close my folders, my computer, and other folders, when I choose file, close?, it just hangs?, I have to resort to closing by pressing the red X button top right hand corner to close whatever is open?
I have a Vista business machine that is used for Quickbooks. I have the data files in a folder (QBData) and it is shared with full permissions. I am mapping a drive from an XP machine so I can run quickbooks. The mapped drive and access to the files works fine until I close quickbooks and try to reconnect/open. It seems like Vista is not closing the connection correctly as I need to reboot Vista for the XP machine to be able to connect again.
Everytime i start up vista most of my programs 'dont respond' and vista prompts me to close them. This happens with 7-8 programs, but as soon as this is done. i can re run the programs afterwords without any problems. Any ideas why this happens and how to fix it? ive run a virus scan and spyware scan and nothing has come up.
Everytime I open a game the game freezes for about 10-30 seconds, and then begins to load.. This also happens when closing takes about ten to thirty seconds, and then finally closes... This happens with every single game I had.. This didn't happen in the beginning but started about three to four months ago.. I searched for other threads in different forums.
I'm running Microsoft Office 2003 Standard Edition under Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. Recently I've been getting the following message when opening Outlook: "The data file 'Personal Folders' was not closed properly. This file is being checked for problems" I then have to wait several minutes while the file is checked before I can start using Outlook. It doesn't happen everytime I start Outlook, but often enough to be irritating. I have tried closing Outlook using the "Exit" option on the "File" menu and also the "X" option, but it doesn't seem to matter which method I use. The "not closed properly" message seems to appear at random. I'm using MS Office Outlook 2003 SP3 and running Windows Vista Home Premium.
