I have recently had a virus. I have cleared this with C/Cleaner in safe mode. Since then Real Player will not connect to the internet and the weather service on the sidebar is "not avaiable". I have obviously cancelled something I perhaps should not have. Any ideas how to fix this. I thought of a system restore but those seem to have vanished as well before the clean up.
View 4 RepliesI have no idea why Real Player is popping up randomly. Not when I boot up from a shutdown or restart, just doing usual business on my laptop. I imagine you want me to take note when this happens, but it is really strange behavior. I thought my default player was Windows Media Player, but I could have changed that because I was having problems gettng my iPod to sync.
View 5 Replies View Relatedwhen I install real player 11 on my PC. Explorer crashed when I brows a folder that contains real player files.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to uninstall Real Player 11, but it doesn’t show up in either Control Panel or Revo Uninstaller. There is absolutely nothing showing for Real, Real Player, Real Audio, Real Media, etc. I have a REAL Folder in C: PROGRAM FILES, which contains tons of files & folders. There are several .exe files (realplay.exe, realjbox.exe, recordingmanager.exe, fixrjb.exe, rphelperapp.exe), none of which work – nothing happens when they’re clicked… but no Uninstall file.
Does anyone know why REAL wouldn’t show up in Control Panel or Revo Uninstaller? I’m planning to just delete that C: PROGRAM FILES>REAL folder. I can’t see any reason why I shouldn’t, as long as I can revert to an earlier System restore point in case of problems.
In trying to watch a video on Real Player with my Vista, it keeps interrupting and then starting again where it left off. It is very frustrating. Is there some way to stop this?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using a Vista Home Premium Edition x64. I have wireless internet on it from my grandmas router in her room. Here's the problem though..., I am a real dedicated gamer. I play America's Army v2.4.0 so im real picky about lag. Sometimes I can just turn my computer on, and load up America's Army.. It will run very fine for hours and hours. Then again, I can turn on the computer and load it up, and everything will be going real slow. Even when I let everything have time to load. Maybe there is some kind of system performance tool I could use? Or maybe it's just my wireless connection. And if it was that, is there anything I could check to find out if it is really my connection?

View 6 Replies View RelatedA word of warning if you're like me, own a Dell, Lenovo/IBM or HP notebook. Do not install any version, variation or anything related to Ubuntu on it. It WILL fulk your machine good and proper. The as-of-yet unfixed bug 43745343802 in Linux kernel for Ubuntu which corrupts the real-time clock, and causes your machine to boot simply with the message "Time-of-day clock stopped", leaving you unable to get into the BIOS, boot from external sources, or do anything even remotely useful with
your notebook - effectively bricking it. The fix? You can rip open your notebook and extract the CMOS battery, or call manufacturer to see how good warranty is. The awesome thing about that bug? It's in Dapper, as you can see.. but I just got it in.
Edgy, and according to the comments, it was there back in Breezy as well. The next cu**nt who even breathes Ubuntu in my presence will receive a punch in the face. Jesus fluking Christ. In my entire 23 year history of fluking with PC operating systems, not ONCE have I ever come across one capable of bricking your hardware. I'd like to support the Ubuntu developers, because from their mission statements and other crap, it sounds like they're trying to do the right thing - but folk me, a bug this serious possibly spans three releases and still isn't fixed? One that, to date, doesn't appear in other Linux distro's? Get your fluking act together!
I Was using the Sony Sound Forge 8 in a HP laptop with XP Pro and the program was working really good,but I had a problem with the HP Laptop and I have to run and bought a new computer,as a computer technician,the warehouses make me good prices in computer parts and computers,so I bought an Acer Aspire 4520 with the VISTA OS and now I dont know if it is the computer or the Vista that make the sound output real bad like when you are listening to an old cassette machine,it start slow and after a while you start listening acceptable..I don't know if it is syncronization beetween the data that is in the hard disk and the program or it's that I need a driver,I download the Realtek audio driver just in case,and installed but I still have the problem..But if I play any music in iTunes it sounds real good.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there any software that show what process is currently starting and running on screen in real time? I have Vista Ultimate. Somewhere along the startup of Vista there is a long wait. I think the perpetrator is the AppLauncher in the Vista Sidebar containing too many icons. In fact 56 of them. I guess the wait is while hte software is locating all relevant folders. But then again, I really don't know, as the wait is still there even when the sidebar start up is disabled. All I want is a few words on screen stating that this or that process is now starting... The list of started processes I can see in my Sysinternals Process Explorer. Do you guys know of such a ultility?

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a "real" backup program in 64-bit Vista Home Premium? One where I can select the files and folders important to us? All I can find on this HP computer is a simplistic backup that has me checking boxes for things like "pictures" and "documents." That won't do, as there are other folders with data that require backing up. And, how would I do a disaster recovery backup?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe get lots of posts stating that "I AM the Adminstrator! Why can I not do xxxx? Or Why do I keep getting security popups?" The answer is simple -- you're most probably NOT the Administrator! Starting with Vista, MS decided to change the default account security policies such that after you create the initial account and then login, you are NOT logging in as the Administrator; instead, you are logging in as a general user that is a member of the Administrators group. Sounds like it's the same as being the Admin but it's not.
When you login as a general user, you will get UAC (User Account Control) popups. You can disable UAC, but that doesn't change the fact that you're still NOT the Administrator. Logging in as the Administrator on a routine basis is not recommended. In XP, that opened the door to lots of malware. MS has closed this door somewhat in Vista with improved security policies, but leaving it open again by being the Administrator all the time defeats the very purpose of UAC. Thus, it's best to login as the Administrator only when really needed.............

View 9 Replies View RelatedI calculated that to migrate to Vista or Windows 7 will cost close to =A32000. not including my time - It will take around 100 hours. This is because many of my existing software / tools / utilities does not work on Vista and the vendors expect me to buy a new license because it is a "new product" even though it does exactly what it did before - just on a different OS. Even the products that do work have problems and glitches that have to be worked around. All this takes time MY VALUABLE time. In other words I am suffering because Microsoft want money. In the past some versions of windows were worth migrating to Windows 2000 and Windows XP were great
But most of the improvements to Vista / Windows 7 are mostly transparent to normal users - even monster power users like me. I believe Microsoft have a serious attitude problem. just wait until they take full advantage of TPM to screw even more money out of us. If I am wrong please point out a real tangible benefit that Vista or Windows 7 brings to a large percentage of users or to me. I also I can no longer buy a laptop because they only come with Vista GPU drivers (some come with buggy unsupported XP GPU drivers - great)

Windows Media Player states: cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card. Windows Media Center states: DVD may be in use by another application. If all other applications are closed, the video resolution may need to be loweredor the display connection type may not support playback of the DVD. I contacted HP and a nice person tryied to help via internet connection. They had me uninstal/reinstal Roxio and also send me to a site to get an updated driver.

I don't know if they are related but a couple of weeks ago I down loaded from the Microsoft site programs for reading the newer versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.
I have tried to find the Media Player software on the Microsoft site thinking I could reinstall it but all I can find is updates to it. I don't even know what version of Media Players I have. I am using Vista, with all current patches.
Does anyone know of any good DVD player software that works with Vista 64bit, I have tried Power DVd 6 but that keeps crashing even with the patch from Power DVd's web site. I have tired Windows Meida Player but that keeps crashing to, I have even tried another disk drive but the same thing happens.
