i've only just recently got set up with vista (home basic), and, until this last week, haven't had any problems viewing the content offered by Internet, plus other online video sites. (no, not porn!):o) anyway, for some reason, over the last week or so, i'm having problems viewing the videos, due to what looks like a lot of buffering. they take ages to load, and then every few seconds, they freeze for a while, before carrying on. a few seconds later, the very same thing happens, so i've just given up on viewing anything at all, as it's driving me mad. has anyone else been experiencing this problem? if so, is there anything that can be done to get things back on track?
I have messed up WindowsMail on one of my machines. For some reason the number of headers available for viewing is limited to +/- 100 even though I have the default 300 set. I have deleted the accounts and set up several times with the same result. Can someone please tell me how to tell Windows Mail to go back to showing me at least the 300 I've asked for. As an example - this newgroup is showing 298 messages, 298 read, 15221 not downloaded but only 106 are available for viewing! Help is needed.
I have Vista Ultimate and the media center has started to show a choppy video and audio when watching TV. I have a digital TV tuner that records TV shows without the choppy playback most of the time. I save the recorded TV shows to an external hard drive. This is a new Dell computer with 4 GB of memory and a 2.4 GHz Intel processor. At first I never had this problem, but recently the TV viewing is impossible. I have updated all of the drivers to the latest versions without effect. Can anyone tell me to isolate the cause of the recent degradation in the TV viewing?
All of a sudden I can no longer see my deleted or sent items in Windows Mail. The views on the folders are all set up correctly to show all and I can send and delete OK.
If I right click on the? Sent? folder it tells me the number of items in there which increases by one every time I send a mail? .I just can't see any of the mails. The 'Deleted' folder is even in bold indicating unread messages....if I could see them!
I used whatever the default program was in XP to view (not edit) photos and it was great! I am having a terrible time in coming up with the same program in Vista.
When I open any one of my folders is there a way to NOT have the contents of the first e-mail listed displayed in the Preview Pane automatically? I know that if I click to the far right of the e-mail list the Preview Pane will be empty and a message will show that says "There is no message selected." Ultimately this is what I would like to see when I open any of my folders.
I am unable to view Hidden Files and Folders,From Control panel I have set the flag to show hidden files and folders, click apply and OK but when I go to the folder where there should be another folder with my files in it there is nothing, If I copy this folder to my USB hard drive and then look at it with another computer it shows the folder and files.
I use Photoshop and Fireworks to create and modify web graphics, I cannot view PSD images in the photo gallery, I have t load PS to view them. Is there a plug in for Vista to open PSD's or a workaround?
I use the Pictures folder alot on my Vista based computer, and recently I was sorting through some of the pictures, deciding which ones to keep and which to delete. Most of these I have copied from my digital camera, and some I have downloaded from the web. Well, after having gone through them all, there is at least one in particular that I cannot seem to delete. I don't want it to just be sent to the Recycle Bin, but completely erased from the computer. I have discounted any viruses or spyware, and checked all my 'Folder' settings, but nothing I can think of to do will remove this file from the folder. It also does not actually show up in normal viewing, only if i do a search using special variables. It only shows up if I type, "*.jpg" into the search bar when I am viewing the directory. I can't however do anything with the file. I can't move it, I can't rename it, and while it shows a thumbnail image of the photo, when I click on it to open it, the picture viewer shows no photo-representation. I also can't replace it with another file with the same exact name. How do I permanently remove this one file? And how did it get to the point of being undeletable. File properties do not show that it is 'hidden' or 'read only'.
I was cleaning up my screen and keyboard with windex, foolishly, with the computer on, when somehow in the course of working on the keyboard I managed to flip the viewing area on the screen 90 degrees so that what was the short dimension (up-down) is now the long dimension (left/right). Some combination if key press' will put it back to normal I guess. But looking hard at the icons on the keys... its not at all clear which ones.
I recently purchased a new PC with Windows Vista (R) Home Premium + Windows Mail pre-installed. I set up Vista with two users, both on administrator status. Both users use the same common email address & ISP provider to send & receive emails. When either user connects to Windows Mail the new emails download into their user mailbox & the other user cannot view them. I wish to configure Windows Mail so emails will download into both users mailboxes at the same time, irrespective of which user is logged on. This is required so either user can view all the emails received & can reply to any of them.
in-box shows that I am receiving e-mails but when opened shows: "There are no items in this view". I can view junk e-mails but not anything in my in-box.
on XP i used to be able to hover my mouse over the connection icon and view my internet speed. now all it says in vista is "currently connected to local and internet". i would very much like to know the exact speed of my connection (e.g 2meg etc) how would i go about to do this?
When I transferred files from my win98 and winXP machine to my new HP Vista x64, I have a folder that contains photo parades. The file extensions end with PhP or 4PP. I have been unable to view these. Seems like there isn't an application on the new machine that will open the files in photo parade format.
I have saved about 3000 photos in my computer under a folder called photos. But since some weeks, my computer is changing the original look of my pictures to very ugly views. I meant sometimes when I open my photo folders, suddenly some pictures are getting discoloured automatically. Sometimes the pictures are cutting to two pieces automatically. If the picture's background is green, sometimes it is changing to red, yellow or some other colour. But after this happened, I cannot get them back to it's original view at all. I don't know what's happening here. Already I have lost lot of my important photos because of this, and I even haven't saved them somewhere else. I already have deleted them from my camera too. Since I bought this computer, I am getting lot of problems in this. I don't know if it is because of VISTA or any other Hardware problem on this computer.
Was using the program explorer to try to cleanup what gets loaded and probably went too far too fast. Didn't realize on of the default startup programs enabled thumbnail viewing. Got tired of the popup messages that there were disabled programs and chose to delete blocked programs. Anybody know which one that is and how I get it to load up again? It is faster though:>)
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
The problem is: my dvd-rw drive plays CD's AND DVD videos but will not play game DVD's. What i have tried so far.
1) Used a lense cleaner to clean the drive. 2) removed upper and lower filters (registry) 3) Tried the game in another system (it works and is vista compatiable - and yes the other machine was running vista) 4) Brought a new drive - still same problem. 5) uninstalled and re-installed drivers 6) Updated mother board drivers 7) tried the origonal drive from this machine in another machine running vista - guess what? it works fine. 8) Tried system retore to the ealiest point possible - no good! 9) Same as above but from a backup - no good. 10) removed the only burning software i have installed (nero7) and re- installed - no good. Also I would like to point out that the drive was working perfectly when I first installed nero 7.
I am sure that between the drive working and ok and not working ok I have not installed any new software, only Vista updates etc but it hard to point out when it actually failed. Could this be a registry problem? Driver issue?
I have been living with rundll32 errors for a while on my video files, I upgraded from xp to vista. It has not caused any real problems. However a few months ago I seemed to lost ability to deal with windows personalization. Can not change anything in windows color, theme or icon's said admin had turned off.. I was logged in as admin. I could live with this also as I could change my background and had set the colors to what I liked.
Well now things are worse two days ago the rundll32 errors started to happen a lot, Firefox crashed completely, would not run.. windows problem reporting told me to upgrade would crash with rundll32 error. My recyle bin went away, and can not replace, change icon's causes rundll32 error. Yesterday vista would no start.. took two times of repairing with upgrade disk and now seems to be fine. Went to cmd.com in run to do a file check. got the error NTVDM.exe and command com will not load. NOw in personalize change color get rundll32 error. Checked event log they all seem to be the same error....

Lately I have found that my Videos sent as attachments in my Windows Mail on Vista are failing to open when I double click. What occurs is that they play, but in the backround with the original e-mail still in view. To see the attachment video I have to click on the icon (i have now on the taskbar) to view the video playing. The previous video attachments, those, which I had save on hard drive are also doing the same if I want to view them. This has just began, for before, once I double clicked I could view them right away.
I'm running Vista, and I've recently ran into a problem. I've always normally been able to open up my attachments that are videos by the usual double click, a futher window pops up to Open, indicating that it'll open up using Windows Media Player, I clicked on Open and it would begin. Now when I do the aforementioned and the window comes up and I click on open, it begins playing, however to view it I have to click on the icon Windows Media Player before the actual e-mail will disappear and the video is able to be viewed. Why would this have just occurred, has it something maybe due to their recent updates etc.
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.
after i've logged of and logged in on a deifferent account i cannot play flash videos like from Internet. if i restart the computer flash is working fine. i'm using vista 64 home premium. have anybody encountered similar problems. i've also a weird update problem with the desktop. sometimes popup menus items images will stick on the desktop after the popup menu is already gone.
I try to open some of the e mail videos I receive and some don't open.The ones I can't open give me this message:"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.Create an association in the set association control panel."
On my Vista Ultimate 64 bit machine - SP 2 and Internet Explorer 8 - videos from two sites will not play. The video screen displays, but the video does not load and play. The two sites: "Wall Street Journal Online" and "MSNBC Meet The Press". They are not worked since I begain using the machine. They worked ok on the XP 32 bit machine that was replaced. Videos from other sites play ok.
I've sent help requests to both places - no response at all from Meet The Press - pro-forma "thank you and we will be touch" from Wall Street Journal on October 28, 2009, and no response to a follow-up "what is the status" e-mail I sent December 14, 2009 Hence, this post. Does anyone have any thoughts on what the cause may be? (I don't know if either sites uses it, butAdobe Flash is installed in the X86 sarea and works on other pop-ups and videos. )
All the Dailymotion movies are not playing continuously more than 2 min. It stop within 2 min,Buffering is also not happening. If I try to play any flash related video in internet it doesn't play continuously. Cannot watch movie continuously. when the playing stops I have to move the progress bar then the video plays for sometimes and then again stops.
I updated the adobe shock wave latest, but still the same problem.
I tried in three browers IE, firefox, Chrome same problem in all the browsers. Siva.P
