View 3 RepliesMy father has windows 7 with new computer. all files and programs have ended up 'in' media center and cannot be opened. Card games, excel, word, IE, printer, etc. All icons have which used to be recognizable for the file or program now have microsoft icons. Any attempt to launch from the control panel etc are directed into the media center. Games are in 'extras' ie, exel, word, printer are in 'tasks'. NOTHING will work. If we removed media center im afraid all files and programs will disapear. he says he tried to removed it and the error message said: microsoft cannot perform this function. Ive looked at it and must admit, Im baffled. Media center has absorbed every file and progrfam on his computer

Adobe Reader has been installed, and when checking file assocaitions in Windows and IE, they are set to Adobe Reader. Now, if you save the pdf to the desktop, or some other location on the hard drive, it will then open with Adobe Reader as it should.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running Windows 7 Pro on a Dell T3400. My question concerns Media Center. I have a bunch of mp3 files I renamed. Now Media Center cannot find the files. The files are on an external usb drive. I tried moving the renamed files to a different directory and then adding that new directory to Media Center. I'd like to learn how Media Center indexes files and how to manipulate the index. Also I understand mp3 files have tags on them to hold information.
1.) How do you manipulate the Media Center file index?
2.) What would you do to force Media Center to find the missing mp3 files?
3.) Where can I find more information on how tags work in mp3 files?
So when I try to watch recorded TV programs or watch videos. I get an error what says: Video error files needed to display video are not installed or not working correctly. Please restart Media Center and/or restart the computer. I have restart both. Not work. I have read several forums and update drivers and uninstall drivers and do everything what there has been. But nothing. I have Windows 7 (32-bit), Ati Radeon HD 5670 1gb video card, 4000gb ram, AMD Athlon (tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+ 2.1 ghz (maybe) 2 CPU's. Its been working before and im not do any big changes to my computer. Only thing what i do is that I installed Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas.

I would also like the file type to be GPU compatible so it is faster to convert. My Zune is the main thing so it doesn't try and convert when syncing, I am only using it as an external video player for use in my car on long trips for the second set of monitors in it.The Zune will support MPEG-4 and H.264 video but there are specific limits listed.

View 9 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how do I set the default program to open media files in Windows 7On WinXP it was right click -> open with -> checkmark "set as default program for opening this type of file" -> double click program. I did the same thing on Windows 7 and it has absolutely no effect. I do NOT want to play music/movie files with Windows Media Player, yet every time I try to play any music file (.mp3, .wav, etc), it ALWAYS open with Win Media Player, even though I have clearly set the default program to open these files as something else... same thing applies to movies

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Epson Stylus CX6600 attached to an XP Desktop. My new Windows 7 laptop can see it as a shared printer on the network. But when I try to add it as a printer, it says it can not locate the .inf file to install it. I connected the printer directly to a USB port on the laptop and it installed immediately and printed fine. Now it shows up as the default printer on the laptop. I reconnected the printer back up to the desktop machine, tried to print with the laptop and it just puts the print job in a queue. I again tried to add the printer as a network printer and it again says it needs the .inf file. The laptop does see the printer on the network. What do I do to make this work?

Teachers are complaining that students are storing work at school from our Mac computers, and then they are not able to open up their work at home on their own computers which are PCs. Can you give me any tips to give the students so that they can try to retrieve this work which is mostly Word projects.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm in grave problem here. I just installed windows 7 x64 a few days back. And initially I installed the 32bit version of k-lite codec pack for my windows media player. The media center worked fine then. It was loading my ffdshow and ac3filter along as I checked it.But then yesterday I noticed that the same pop-up od recommended/express install of WMP came again. Initially I thought that it must be some bug or something, but then when my MKV and AVI files didn't work in WMC, I realized that somehow WMP x64 got triggered, and now it is using the x64 bit of WMP in WMC. And I just wanna revert back to 32-bit WMP in WMC.

Any suggestions?
I want to know if there is a foolproof way to know where the source file is located. It looks like the "Library" part of Explorer, (where it seems like files are duplicates of those in MyDocuments) are just virtual addresses, and I would need to delete files in MyDocuments to actually have them not show up there. Is this true? Is there a way to have Explorer NOT use the Library option? It's nothing but confusing for me, since everything I need to reference is on one drive.
I copied my music to MyMusic folder (all in mp3 format), and then loaded iTunes 10.4.1.10, and now find that every single song is duplicated in iTunes Library -- maybe because of the reference files in Explorer's "Library," or because I also found them all in an iTunes directory under /Users? I want to get rid of the duplicates, but am wary of what files to delete at this point. I have over 2000 songs, so doing one delete at a time using iTunes software is out of the question. I figure maybe I can uninstall iTunes, delete all but one directory of music and then reload iTunes and have a clean iTunes library to sync to my new iPod. Does this sound reasonable?
I can't get eithe WMP or MC to play a DVD. I've set the region code. WMP acts like it will play, but then just goes blank, and MC says it cannot play the DVD. These are original discs, not burned copies. I have a custom built system, with 2 graphics cards (GTX 260 and a GT 220) 6 GB of RAM, and an i7 processor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
View 7 Replies View Relatedi want to exclude the restore point files from defragmentation (Defraggler has that option). Where are the restore points stored? I found a tool to make hidden files visible. There is some information on Google where XP stores the files, but it seems to be different in Windows 7.My reason for excluding that from defragging (and excluding my download and temp folders) is to speed up defragmentation. Those files ae in flux anyway and fast access is not needed.BTW: how can I add a picture to my name in this forum??? I didn't find it in my account

The author in the article says to "restart" media center does that just mean to close the program and open it again? I tried that and it still didn't work.
