I have Windows Vista. I have made a video, changed it to a WMV file and tried to load it into Windows Movie Maker so I can edit it, but this keeps coming up. *-Windows Movie Maker cannot use the audio file C:UsersPopsDesktopBlokart.wmv is in use by another program or does not contain valid audio data.-*
I was editing some files in Linux and am now trying to view them in Windows Vista but am having some difficulty. In particular, there's one file named demo?.jpg. When I try to open the file, I can't. When I try to rename it, I get the following error: The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different name. Certainly going into Linux and renaming it is not a problem, but I'm curious - is there a way to deal with issues such as this in Windows?
This is not the same problem that was discussed in 2007--does not have to do with mail. I get the error "Could not locate a valid definitions file. Please go to the program options and click 'update definitions' to download a definitions file"
This message appears every time Vista starts. We think it has to do with the installation of a HP printer--a Photosmart C4140 which is not fully supported by Vista and won't completely install because of that. The original problem gave this error along with a message that Vista had recovered from a serious error and then would shut down in 1 minute--which it did. Continuously.
I uninstalled the printer and all was well. Funny thing is, the computer and printer were working up until maybe 5 days ago. Perhaps installing only the basic printer drivers for the printer would make this go away? The user says he has no need for scanning, so maybe that solution would work. What we would really like to know is what on earth does the error message mean. What definitions file? What program options?
I have 2 accounts on my laptop running Vista Home Premium and Office 2007. One for me and one for my wife. Currently she can't see any email received using my account. The goal is to see all email messages both for her and me. Data files were stored in different locations C:Users<me>...Outlook.pst and C:Users<wife>...Outlook.pst. Well we couldn't see inbox of each other while we are sharing the same email address. I wanted to add her data file to my Personal Folders and my data file to her respectively. When I try to add the data file I've got the error: "The file C:Users<wife>...Outlook .pst cannot be opened". I check that I do have Full permissions for this file.
We have a access data program that we use for fiscal year like 07/01/07 - 06/30/08. I have copied the information into a new access file but the date is set for last year. Where do we go to change the date? We did not write this program. We are using windows 2000.
Hello! I have downloaded from internet, legally, 2 music albums each 120 mb each! However, they are in html format and cannot manage to extract the files that are in it! I am sure that there is someway to take the tracks from these files but I knew that html are internet files! When I double click on these html files which are supposed to have the music in it, automatically I am forwarded to a web page that never loads and moreover the PC freezes!
I am having installation problems with a Polish/English Multimedia dictionary. At the start of install I get a pop-up advising that the program needs to install MS Visual C++ 2005 SP1 to run properly. When I click OK it commences the installation of Visual C++ but does not complete the configuration stage before the installation of the dictionary software starts.
The dictionary installation then continues without problem ok but when I try to run it I get an error message that the program cannot read the data file and that I should reinstall again. Also, I note that Visual C++ has failed to install.
The software is Vista compatable and does install ok (including the Visual C++) when I tried it on a on a Vista x86 latop. I have tried installation with UAC disabled, Norton Internet security disabled, even tried installing it in safe mode with a hack to run Windows installer. I have run all installations as Administrator.
Also tried a separate install of Visual C++ 2005 SP1 and also the 2008 version but the dictionary software does not recognise either. To get the 2005 version installed I had to first install the base pack and then the SP1 version, but then I have no idea if it has installed properly.
My laptop is an HP Pavilion dv 3510nr and OS is Vista Home Premium x64 and I bought it about 4 weeks ago in the US. Maybe there is a running service that is conflicting with the software installation, I have no idea.

Data Protection is a counterfeit application which pretends to be a legitimate security tool. It is also from the same rogue family as Digital Protection, Your Protection, User Protection, Dr. Guard and Paladin Antivirus. The trojan based software starts its activities as soon as it installs onto your computer. Malware has no ability to detect and terminate the parasite. It only gains that user lose their vigilance and would buy a registered version of Data Protection application.
This is a fraud and dangerous for your computer. Behind an offer stands bad people who will use your money for malicious intentions. This application is not worth spending your money. As any malware this one will scan your computer automatically and will show fake results. You should ignore it. Do not fall for this blatant scam. Data Protection can also redirect your web browser to deceptive web pages that advertises “full” version of the security tool. Do not buy it, but choose decent anti-spyware application and terminate Data Protection upon detection. - the conclusion is that Malware bytes does remove it,, you need to download the lastest malware byte or update the one you got.

We have a new computer that came with Vista 64bit. We have Word 03 docs that we can't open and receive this error message: .doc is not a valid win32 application. What can we do to fix this so we can access our old documents? We have some of the same problems when trying to access files from the net that may be in Word format.
Below is a list of software I have purchased, but am not using so I thought if anyone is interested in using any of the belowmentioned programs, send me a Private Message and I will provide you with my Serial/Activation Number/s.

Im trying to help a friend fix their sound on their HP Compaq Presario F500 (2EA)Laptop. They have the annoying red cross over the audio icon on the bottom right hand corner of the screen (No Volume Mixer).
I have tried numerous things like:-
- Completely uninstalled the (Conexant High Definition) drivers in device manager, restarted and let Vista install them again. - Downloaded latest drivers from RealTek,, and also HP - Unfortunately their are no system restore points before the problem happened.
I have a sneaking suspision that either Windows Update installed something that is clashing with this problem or I herd that Itunes may have somethign to do with it (Which was installed near the time).
so its an acer aspire running vista home premium 32 with no updates ever... its my step dads...i cant get into system restore. it wont update. it wont let me into anything even tho i have told it i am the administrator and it says i am... it still says i need to be an administrator. it wont let me into anything that might let me add or remove a program and i get this msg constantly about a badimage telling me that oledlg.dll is not valid or not compatible... i realize now it is a malware problem of some kind i didnt find it with nis or with malware bytes... i ran compufix. it also stalls out when downloading... it will get about 10% of what ever file i am getting then stall out... i attached the log.txt that i got when i ran compufix.... i realize this note is all over the place.... i am at my wits end here...
I am a new user of windows mail. I just got this new computer and windows vista is new. I have a mail message stuck in my outbox. How can I get it out. I can't delete, move or anything. It is a nuesance, because when I want to send something now, I have to respond to a message, one or more messages does not have a valid account. This now comes up every time I send mail. This stinks, I have a brand new computer, and I have a problem with my mail now!!!
I have vista business running on an asus laptop. I’ve been trying to connect my HTC Touch mobile phone with the laptop and have been having problem with Windows mobile centre (error msg “ This action is only valid for products that are currently installed). I attempted to run the Windows mobile handbook & keep getting the error "The getting started disc requires Adobe Flash player version 8.0 or later…". I have installed the latest version of flash (v10), have uninstalled it (via adobe’s recommended process), reinstalled, executed FlashUtil10b as administrator, checkd activex & plugin settings (as per adobe site settings), but to no avail. I have also tried to install the active synch (predecessor to Windows mobile) and again, the error msg regarding flash player 8.0 or later required.
i started up my computer, then i noticed that some of my programs were messed... I got this for window live messanger: msnmsgr.exe is not a valid win32 application and it ALSO did the same this for firefox.. this never happend before...I am useing vista home.. and i just bought this computer..
i downloaded itune setup from apple website 8.0.2.20 ( 32 mb). When i click to install on my PC ( Vista Home premium 32 bit) it says Not a valid window 32 application.
I've been trying to download Itunes to my laptop and the end results are always the same that it's "not a valid Win32 application." Now I made sure when I downloaded it that it was for a pc not mac. And I also downloaded it 3 different times just in case something went wrong with the installing process.
every time i send emails thru microsoft i get that smtp is not a valid server, i use yahoo.com, and my account i have is yahoo.com. Yahoo states that smtp is a connection which confuses me, what server do i need?
I am having trouble installing iTunes on windows vista 32bit. It downloads ok but when i try to run it error msg is 'itunes setup is not a valid win 32 application' i have checked and version 8 iTunes should be compatible with vista. I can't even install quicktime.
since i installled Vista I started to have problems running Word2000 from VBA Access. In any case I noted a difference between Winword2000 and other Office programs: on the normal launch Word shows a window for 'user account control', Cancel, Allow (or something like that, mine is not in english). Running Excel, powerpoint and other, not.
I need to run Word2000 from a vba macro in Access2000: no problem with XP or Win2000. If i call a 'new Word.Application' or 'Shell("c:...winword.exe')' i have the error: Function call or argument not valid or Automation Error To execute the requested operation is needed a higher rights.
If i change for 'calc' or 'notepad' there are no problems. If I put Word in other folder (ex. c: mpwinword.exe) Shell() is able to run it but hen i need to get the variable to control the program: if I call GetObject(,"Word.Application") I get l'error 13.
I keep getting these spam emails from random valid email addresses telling me I have X amount of dollars waiting for me in a online casino. Every time i delete and block the emails address i get another from another email address generated. Its obviously spyware, I have run AVG and spybot and it hasnt fixed the problem. I cant adjust my spam filters cause sometimes theres important emails which get IDd as SPAM by accident. Is there anyway to fix this?
I have a Gateway MX6445 i bought it back in 2006 i recently updated from xp to vista ultimate x64 when i updated it everything was ok except audio. The audio tab has a big red x above it, and when i go to the control panel it says no audio output device is installed. I have tried unistalling and rebooting and that doesnt work because it searches for the audio drives and then ask for a disk, well i dont have a disk and then it tells me it could not find the drive and to contact the manufacturer
