I use mainly Winamp for audio and VLC for video.
I have music that I've played on my XP machine transferred onto my Windows 7 Machine, and it won't play on the Windows 7 machine. To my knowledge Winamp and VLC both should have flac playback.
I have a network of about 90 computers connected together and i am currently running server 2003. Now when i go to network place on my xp machine, i am able to see all of my computers that are connected together. But when i go to network place on my window 7 machine, i am only seeing some of my window 7 computers and not the xp computers. The network discovery is turned on, on all of my window 7 and still nothing.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I have a massive Flac library. And I have WMP tag plus plugin installed. All my music files are on their own seperate hard drive (F:). Originally i had just put the seperate folders for each artist directly on the root of F.
(F:artist folder)
This worked for a while and then somewhere down the line I had to make another folder on the root of F: and then replace all artist folders inside that. (to clean up some sharing issues I believe)
(F:Musicartist folder).
This also worked fine for tags. for a while. I had shared the root drive originally, and also shared the F:Music folder as well. after i had created the F:Music folder and shared that, I unshared the actual drive. Now, this was STILL fine for a couple of days. I had a fully shared library with songs correctly tagged with album art. But today I turned on WMP and went to wirelessly play music over my home network to my xbox. (using the xbox menus to access the music on my computer.)
While music was playing through my xbox I sat at the computer to look at my library only to see if I could "play to" the xbox from my computers WMP. As it turns out I couldn't but I also couldn't "play to" my laptop... which has always been possible because I do it all the time. (it was on and available.) Just I noticed this, my artist library on my computer started to collapse into an "unknown artist" folder.
I literally watched this happen. all my album art just fell off the screen and now not one song has any tags. everything is under "unknown artist" - "unknown album". I've been fiddling with my computer for an hour now i cant see the problem. I have noticed that the .flac files on my computer now have a different icon representing them... and I don't know why that is either. Why no more tags? Its literally a never ending battle to be able to play my music with WMP, but its almost a must to be able to play everything wirelessly throughout my house. I don't understand why microsoft cant get this to work.
In the Library view of Windows Media Player, there are column headings such as 'Album', 'Title', 'Length', etc.. If you right click on that bar, select Choose Columns.. then scroll down in that widget and select 'Subgenre' ...
Now you have an extra column in the Library view with this name.
Question : What (3rd party probably) tag editor for FLAC audio files do you recommend that would allow me to edit my FLAC files such that I could populate this specific field?
I tried it in Foobar2000 on my Vista laptop and it was so easy. I tried on my Win 7 laptop and it doesn't work at all. When I'm done using Foobar, I open WMP and open the FLAC file in there, but the Subgenre column remains empty (unlike on my Vista laptop).
If you already use the popular ones such as mp3tag, etc.. I would love to know if this works for you on Win 7 and the steps I need to take using the editor tool in the app. to get it to work.
I have two HP laptops. One came with Win 7 Pro while the other has home edition. Is it possible to install the pro version on both the machines with the same installation disk.
I think since I own both the laptops and their respective OS, I might try to do that. The main reason is one has a clean installation disk while the other has OS image with all the bundled HP bloatwares which I dont want to go thru.
Is there any difference in sound quality between flac and mp3.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed some windows 7 machines on our network and they don't seem to be getting valid network configs. It sees the correct DHCP info and DNS servers and you can ping the gateway and other computers on the same subnet but when you try to ping other subnets or out to Google it won't go.
You can see local computers on the same subnetwork and even view webpages on the server on the subnet but everything else network wise outside of the subnet doesn't work.
We have a subnet firewall and it is set to allow everything on the trust side out on any port to any computer. I've even made a rule that let everything in from the outside (untrust) on every port to these windows 7 machines and they still don't get an identifiable network.
My windows XP machines work perfectly though.
Has anyone else seen this?
So I was thinking, can I install Windows 7 OEM on a hard drive more than once? I'm thinking of changing the essential components (CPU, Graphics Card, Motherboard) but keeping the hard drive the same - I understand that Windows 7 installation ties the activation code to the current hardware configuration.

I recently started a subscription with Comcast for a 50mb Down/10 mb Up high speed internet service.I am using 3 different websites to analyze the download speed of this connection on multiple computers (speedtest.comcast.net, speedtest.net, speakeasy.net/speedtest).The issue is, the 50mb download speed works for some of my machines but not for others.The following machines receive the full 50mb (or higher) download speeds when checking with the above sites: [code] When I try this with my other Windows 7 machines, I get results of less than 10mb down. These machines are: [code] These tests were conducted with direct hard line hookup to the modem, no router.I know for a fact that the service is working at full capacity, since I get the full download/upload speeds with the 3 machines. But I cannot figure out why the other two are more than 80% slower.All of the firewall settings are identical across the Windows 7 machines. I tried starting my my ASUS machine in safemode, to see if some particular process was slowing things down, but the slower internet speeds remained.I was hoping that someone might have some idea what is causing this, or maybe some idea of what to compare between the two machines. While I am fairly computer-savvy, I don't know a lot about networking.

2. My wife's machine is a Toshiba U500 with Windows 7 Professioanl 64-bit.
Normally, I use the U500 as a hub: I connect it to the internet using a 3G-enabled Sony Ericsson Elm that I control through Sony Ericsson PC Suite 6.011.00* (I have an unlimited connectivity plan.) As soon as the U500 is connected, I set up a WEP-encrypted ad hoc network and connect my B300 (regardless of which system I happen to be booted into) and my wife's iPhone.** I can do the same if I choose to boot into Windows 7 on my B300 and use that as the hub.My question however, is as to why I can't get this whole setup to work out with Windows XP. I normally use the exact same way to connect to the internet (Elm and SE PC Suite), and I've attempted to set up an ad hoc network when I'm booted into Windows XP (through Windows and through Intel Proset), and I even managed to get the U500 and my wife's iPhone to connect to the network, but neither machine would get any internet access, even though I made sure to turn on Internet Connection Sharing for the connection.So I'm beginning to wonder if it's even possible to get it to work with XP (as opposed to 7) being the hub.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running Win 7 x64 with 32bit WMP12. I have FLAC showing with metadata and can play files locally. I have a Naim NDX Media Streamer and can not get FLAC to play through it via WMP - other files will. I understand that this may be connected to x64 not being compatible, so I have the x32 version running via a short cut to my desktop.WMP shows my streamer but when I try to play a file it just constantly looks for the streamer and never finds it. Any ideas where I might be going wrong?
PS: It works perfectly well with JRiver / My River or n Stream via my ipad. That with FLAC or .wav etc. So it appears to be related directly to WMP.
I have three PCs on a network. The first is a laptop running windows XP, the second is a laptop running windows 7, and the third is a desktop running windows XP. After a lot of work I, and quite a bit of post reading, I was finally able to get the Laptop running Windows 7 to recognize and share files with the desktop running Windows XP, but I can not get it to recognize the laptop running windows XP. All of the workgroups are set to "MSHOME" and I have changed the advanced settings on the Windows 7 machine to allow for better file sharing and network discovery. Please see my short description below of which PCs can see which.
Laptop with XP - Recognizes and can open shared files from both the Desktop with XP and the Laptop with Windows 7
Desktop with XP - Recognizes and can open shared files from both the Laptop with XP and the Laptop with Windows 7
Laptop with Windows 7 - Can only open shared files from the Desktop with XP. It can not recognize the Laptop with XP.
I have tried 'ping'-ing the Laptop with XP from the Laptop with Windows 7 using both the Computer Name and the IP address (at least I think it was the IP address... truth be told I'm not sure I used the right set of numbers...)
I have installed windows 7 7100 X86 on my machine. (got my own key)
Lent the RC disk to someone else who got their own key, but installed with my key...
Both activated fine and updated.
Could this cause issues later?
I have a home network with 7 or 8 XP machines. All are on the same workgroup. All share EVERYTHING. All have passwords. All are logged in with an ADMINISTRATOR account. All can see each other on the network. They all talk to each other just fine. All the GUEST accounts are turned ON.I loaded Windows 7 on a machine, and turned on sharing for drive C: I gave everyone ALL permissions. I also went into the Network and Sharing Center. I had no idea what a "HomeGroup" was, so I went a few more menus deep and found the Workgroup setting. I set that up with the name of my workgroup.From the Windows 7 machine, I can see all the XP machines on the network, and they can see the Windows 7 machine. But when I try to view anything (drive C: , for example), I get the "you might not have permission to view this network resource....". I get the same thing when I try to log on to the Windows 7 machine from the XP machines.Since I can't log on to my XP machines, I also can't connect to, and use the printers attached to them.I basically want a big, open, flat network. No security at all between machines. What do I need to do?

So I have a network with 3 computers, a readynas, and multiple network printers.
Two machines have 64 bit RC 1, one has XP.
XP machine can see both Seven machines, and NAS.
64 bit machine one can see everything as well.
64 bit machine two could see everything when I did the first install of RC. I reinstalled to fix some boot manager issues, and now it cannot see the XP machine, nor the NAS from windows explorer. I can connect to the readynas through it's IP address in a browser no problem, I have full internet and networking between it and the first 64 bit machine.
No homegroup is set up on either seven machine. The network is set to Home. Drivers are installed for the Ethernet properly, latest drivers.
I looked through settings and everything seems to be gravy. What am I missing. Nothing changed between the two installs except 18 hours of time.
I have 2 machines MACHINE1 and MACHINE2 running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and am trying to map to the D: drive from MACHINE1 machine on to MACHINE2. I enter \MACHINE1D$ as the drive address but then it tells me access is denied. The account name and password is the same on both machines (no domain here) and I have tried specifying MACHINE1Qu0ll as the user name but it still won't let me map the drive.
Curiously I can see the D: drive when I double click on MACHINE1 in Network but I cannot write to it without "Access denied" messages again.
I have 4 machines on a work network. All machines are Windows 7 Pro 64bit. Password sharing is on. All computers have only 1 user account you can locally log in from.
Sharing used to work perfectly by entering the username/password of the computer you were trying to access. I did not need to have the same local username/password on all.
Now on one of the computers I enabled the Guest account and I can no longer access it from the network. All other computers work fine.
I have VPN service running on my Linksys DD-WRT router at home, so I can VPN back into my home network when using unsecured wireless internet on travel. I also have remote desktop port forwarding to my home machine if I want to just remote desktop in without using the VPN. However, often times I will VPN in, then remote desktop to my machine. Lately, I can VPN in, but can't see any other machines on the network so remote desktop to the machine's 192.168.x.x address on the local network doesn't work. I used to be able to do this and I'm not sure what has changed. The home machine runs Windows 7 and the laptop I use on the road for VPN'ing back in runs Windows XP. why after I VPN in to the home network I can't see any other machines on the network anymore? I have a folder shared on the home machine that I'd like to map to my laptop once I've VPN'ed in but can't do that either since it can't see the machine.
I've got all the sharing options enabled on the Windows 7 machine as well as the XP machine. Network discovery is turned on as well. No clue what has happened with this. The DHCP pool is 192.168.1.2-150 and the VPN pool consists of only 2 addresses of 192.168.1.160 and 192.168.1.161.
I am running the 7100 RC Build and when I go to network it shows all my machines. One of these is a media streamer (HDX 1000). I can access all machines by double clicking on them however when I do that with the HDX it times out and says HDX is inaccessible.
I am using "home" network but not joined a homegroup. Network discovery is on. File sharing on. Contrlled by username and password NOT by homegroup.
I also think I have it set to send LT and NTLM ntlm v2 is applicable in the local security policies. The windows 7 machine has a static ip set.
I should also not I can ftp into the HDX and I can ping it and get replies. UNC path in explorer bar does not work either nor can I map any of the shared folders on it.
Any ideas?
