Rid Of The "Recent Items" List From The Startup
May 15, 2010I was trying to get rid of the "Recent Items" list from the startup (found the option to allow it or not, so that's not a problem anymore) but while doing so, I went to the source (/appdata/roaming/microsoft/windows) and dragged the icon to my desktop to see if that would work. What happened was I created another "Recent Items" icon on my desktop, which I can't move or delete. Plus, I still have the original one which I also can't move or delete. I don't want the one on my desktop anymore, is there any way to get rid of it?

Apr 14, 2009When you click this tab it shows you the recent items you have opened or used. You use to be able to clear that in windows 2000 and older versions. Can you clear this in vista?

Mar 10, 2010i runned some optimization programs on my vista system, and i think it changed something in the registry. Now, when i delete an item from recent items list on startup menu (right click -> delete), it displays "are you sure you want to move this item to the recycle bin? ". by clicking "yes", it moves the corresponding shortcut of this item into recycle bin.
before i runned this optimation, when i delete an item from recent items list, there is no this delete confirmation dialog, and it removes this item from recent items list without moving the shortcut to recycle bin. (for regular file delete operations, it asks for this confirmation and move files to recycle bin as usual. the only difference is about the deletion on recent items list.) is there a way to fix this problem? i don't want this delete confirmation dialog because i am only deleting a shortcut (not the exact file.)

Dec 27, 2009When I try to play video or audio files on Media Center through the TV via HDMI, the video and audio is very laggy. It also sounds sort of static like. When I play CD's or DVD's the problem is resolved. Also, when I unplug the HDMI, the problem is resolved. Also, when I minimize Media Center, the problem is resolved. It only happens when the HDMI is plugged in and Media Center is Maximized. I have searched all over and have not been able to find a solution to this problem. I have tried changing the HDMI cords and changing the HDMI input on the TV. I've also tried to use a different TV and no luck.

Jun 23, 2008my Recent Items list has disappeared. I've been to the Start Menu properties window, and under Privacy, I only have a single entry, "Store and display a list of recently opened programs". The corresponding entry for documents is missing. Furthermore, although I can check the one-and-only tick-box, the setting doesn't hold, and it's unchecked again next time I open Properties. I have a Recent Items folder (with the correct icon), deep in my User folder, but it's empty. I tried restoring the desktop.ini file from an early disk image, but although the restore appears to work according to the image program, the folder remains stubbornly empty. It's as though some system setting registry value has been set prohibiting the use or display of this Recent Items folder.

View 9 Replies View RelatedNo Audio In Video Clips In Wmm
Mar 23, 2008When I transfer video clips from my camera, video works in windows movie maker but there's no audio. The clips are avi and I have vista Home Premium. I installed k-lite codec pack and now have audio in media player but there is still no audio in movie maker. When this problem first arose I couldn't get sound from the clips on anything but quick time. By installing the k-lite pack it enabled sound in photosmart essential, wmp and media center but still not in photo gallery or wmm. I really like the features I see in wmm and would like to experiment.
When I import audio tracks from other places they play just fine in wmm just not the audio from my video clips. And these play fine elsewhere! Also my daughter has avi video clips from her camera that do play in wmm. I downloaded gspot and it says audio was rendered with mulaw - video mjpg. In solutions to make it work were: Src-A-Avi splitter -B - ffdshow video decoder - C - video renderer Src - A - Avi splitter-B-ffdshow Audio Decoder - C Default Direct Sound Device Mute is not checked. I would think it was a camera problem but the clips play fine elsewhere.
Choppy Video And Audio Using Media Center
Nov 11, 2008Last week I recieved a new Dell Studio Slim 540s Desktop factory equipped with a Hauppauge 1250 TV tuner. The computer is running Vista SP1 Ultimate 64 bit operating system. I went through the set up instructions and found that the Live TV video and audio being feed to my 47" LCD screen TV by Windows Media Center was choppy. BlueRay disc, DVD and music file playback are all fine. I uninstalled the ATI Radeon HD 3450 video card and connected the HDMI cable directly to the HDMI cable outlet on the motherboard and I still had choppy video and audio. While the video card was uninstalled I attached a 20' flat panel LCD monitor to the motherboards VGA port using the monitors VGA cable and still had the problem. Only Live TV through Windows Media Center is problematic.....................

View 5 Replies View RelatedFreezes: Unistalled Video/audio Drivers
Feb 4, 2010I've searched for similar cases and so far I've performed the following to try and solve the problem, all in vain though.
*Uninstalled/Reinstalled Video/Audio drivers
*Rebuilt Index
*Stopped using Aero
*Taken battery out....
It should be noted that the computer runs fine in Safe Mode and Safe Mode with networking. The computer freezes randomly into the session, when starting up in normal mode, it freezes within 2-5 minutes. When in diagnostic mode with only microsoft services enabled, it last maybe 10-15,20 minutes. It lasts around 30 minutes with windows audio off, but who knows what thats about. The freeze usually is sudden, I'll be typing or performing a task like deleting something, or adding a song to my music library and it'll simply stop working, the start menu will work (except in aero, the start menu and task bar freeze also) but I can't open anything, and eventually the blue circular pointer pops up and everything including the start menu and right click stop working.
I use my computer for home recording and music, so I do download alot, although, my virus scanners aren't detecting anything. It should be noted though, that I can never run a full scan, because the computer freezes before it can ever get through. My laptop screen is broken, it broke perhaps a month after I got it, from my own negligence, but it was working fine after that, I just hooked up an external monitor. In December my friend gave me a copy of Cubase, upon trying to install it, the computer experienced a serious slow down, so I removed it, and downloaded BitDefender to see if I could find a problem. After installing bit defender and trying to run it the computer ceased to last in normal mode for more than 5 minutes, and I've been in safe mode since then, although, that could be coincidence. It should also be noted, sound works in safe mode for me? The plastic lining for my line in and microphone ports are also cracked, but thats just general wear and tear I believe, and shouldn't affect my computer this much should it?
Multi-boot: Audio Work Video Is Not Available
Jul 29, 2009I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit and Windows 7 installed and use the standard Microsoft boot manager from Windows 7 to dual boot. Each operating system is in the first primary partition of a hard drive. No problems. However, I think I need reinstall WinXP so that I can view some old AVI files that use the Intel IV50 codec. For some reason Vista does not like the AVI files and best I can tell the codec add-in only works under WinXP Media Player. What is the best way/program that will allow me to boot either Vista, Windows 7 or Windows XP OR is there a magic bullet to view and convert the old AVI files. I have tried Format Factory and come up empty. No matter what I try the audio works but the video is not available.

Nov 19, 2009Does anyone have any idea of any fix for this. The systems totally locks up randomly when running a web video and or audio program and it seems to be in Media Player, iTunes and other programs as well. I am running Vista home basic on this machine but it does the same thing on my HP running Vista Ultimate as well. I go back into the error messages in the application, systems, and performance logs and can not find any suggestions on what the problem could possible be. I have looked through Blogs and find that this is happening on a variety of machines and configurations and versions of Vista and the only suggestion was to work in the config.msc utility and try turning off non Microsoft services that you can.
View 4 Replies View RelatedVMC - XmRadio App - Part Of The Media Center Works In Regards To Video & Audio
May 12, 2008Every part of the Media Center works in regards to Video & Audio. The live tv app works, I can play recorded tv, play CD's DVD's, mp3's through my music, everything works. What does not work but it used to is the XMradio app within media center. I select the app, I log in to my account, I select Listen Now, I see the channel line up, I select a channel and it says "playing" but there is no sound.
I know most of the apps within Media Center use Windows Media Player. Launching WMP on it's own and testing what it does and does not do, everything works here also. However there is no way to play XM radio directly through WMP. I don't use the XM app within media center too often but if I had to guess, it may have stopped working correctly after the install of SP1 but I am not certain.
I have uninstalled & re-installed my sound card drivers as well as found an update. I don't think it is the sound card drivers as all other sound applications work. I think that there may be some association with the XM app and WMP that is missing or corrupt however I can find no information as to how it actually works or what file or reg entry has the configuration.
VISTA X64: Shows A Program Files (x86) Folder
May 22, 2008When I go into the C: Drive.. it shows program files.. and then it also shows a Program Files (x86) folder.. why do I have both, and one is 32 bit. Whats it for, what should I use it for. or do the things you try and install that are 32 bit go in there, and the others go in the normal file?? Please let me kno what the deal is with that.
One last question, I just got a new system built.. and now I wanna take the HD from my old system, add it to my new one.. and move everything over, is it just that simple. plug it in.. let my computer see it. open and drag everything. or is there ways to do it. Like I don't wanna just drag everything or I'd have 2 of everything. and it would take forever to do it all folder at a time. So what should I do. Open my Music and drag it all into My music new system. so the folder stays and stuff inside get transfered. or what?
whats the best way to just get all my programs, and all my files over..Should I transfer over all the install files.. or should I redownload and reinstall all the stuff I need online.. to make sure i get 64 bit ones if available..?? Let me kno please!! I'm going to do it tonight.

May 7, 2009Vista backup and restore is setup to automatically create a backup every Friday night at 9:00 PM to an external disk. After a month I no longer need some of the older backup files so I deleted two via windows explorer because there is no way that I've found to delete old backup files using the backup and restore center. Now when I go into the restore files (advanced) screen that list the available backup files on my external disk, I see the two backup files I deleted. The question I have is, what needs to be done so that Vista backup and restore does not list backup files that have been deleted?

Aug 15, 2009I didn't have this annoyance in WinXP but I do in WinVista. It forgets recently opened text files for example, I have a daily "note" file which gets registered in "Recendly Opened Docs" (click Start-->Documents) for ONE sesssion, if I reboot or just work for many hours/next day it's not there and I have to go search in WinExplorer for the d*** file?
Please don't tell me to turn ON Taskbar options "store & display a list of recently open files/prgrams" - those options are both on, also I've been doing computers for decades.Something else is going on here, it's not my settings at fault.Plus, ironically Vista remembers a bunch of OLD files I opened ages ago and still listed as "recently opened" I am tired of looking up for files (in File System/WinExplorer) which I used
to open with TWO CLICKS in WinXP. Yes I can place them all in a conveniently accessible folder, but do NOT want to, it's user's right to keep files where user wants to, especially b/c duplicates/confusion would arise & my system is loaded with a Million files.
