Windows 7 Installation Time Show Media Failure

How To Make Windows Media Player Stop Updating Media Every Freaking Time Start It Up

Dec 22, 2010

How can I make Windows Media Player stop updating media every freaking time I start it up? It always hogs up massive amount of CPU power and goes into (Not Responding) for a min while updating.I only add media files to the Windows Explorer Library so I can get indexed searches. I don't even use WMP to view files or anything. Just to burn some music CDs sometimes.I've tried deleting the files from the WMP library but the next time I open it up, it scans and updates all my files again! Is there a way to completely purge the WMP library and make it not update ever? I've unchecked every option that seems to make it scan and update but it still does it.Basically I want to UNLINK the Windows Explorer Library from the WMP Library.

USB Failure During Windows 7 Installation On ASUS P8z68-v Pro

Jan 5, 2012

My new asus p8z68-pro mobo runs everything just fine in the bios -- it detects all the relevant drives, my USB peripherals are working, etc. When I try to install Windows, however, I run into a problem. As soon as the installation files load off of the DVD and the installation begins my USB devices shut down. This means, of course, no keyboard or mouse to proceed with the install, so I'm stuck.I checked in the bios -- both the usb legacy support and the usb 3.0 legacy support are turned on. I have tried this with the EHCI hand-off both on and off. Either way, I run into the same problem. I've even swapped out my fancier mouse and keyboard for simpler models to see if it was some sort of driver issue, but nothing seems to make a difference.

Windows 7 Installation Failure On Toshiba Laptop - Run Startup Repair

May 19, 2011

Specs:
Toshiba laptop
Win7 home premium 64-bit
3gb RAM
freshly formatted hard drive
original media from Toshiba with win7

I am trying to completely wipe this laptop off and start fresh. The recovery partition has been removed as part of my search for a resolution for the problem. When I try to install windows 7 on this machine I start by selecting to format the entire hard drive. It completes this and then starts the installation of windows 7. It take a very long time for windows to unpack the files and copy them to disc. After about an hour and a half it starts asking me for the User name/location/time settings, etc.

After that it reboots to startup windows for the first time. It immediately tells me that windows cannot start and startup repair will need to be run or I can select to ignore this and try to start normally. Either option yields no improvement. After working with each of those options I just decided to reformat the drive and start the install again. Even after the drive was wiped and fully formatted I get the same error once the windows installation finishes.

Can't Boot Computer (Media Test Failure)

Jul 15, 2011

Yesterday while watching an online baseball stream and simultaneously browsing facebook, my computer randomly gave me an error message. Unfortunately I don't remember what the message was about. What I do remember is that I immediately opened a new firefox tab and searched up the error. I clicked on the first link, and the OP was talking about how he had received the error and shortly after, his computer shut down. Almost on cue, my computer crashed and restarted itself.Ever since then, I can't boot up my computer properly.I turn on the computer, I see the first two screens that I always see (BIOS screen and then the 'Detecting eSATA drives' screen). After this it goes to the third screen, which I also always see. But this is where the problem is.First it loads all that code crap that I never understand. Then, like always it gives me these two lines: 'Verifying DMI Pool Data....'And then 'Boot from CD'. This always happens. But regularly from here it just boots up and goes to the Windows loading screen.Now, on the same screen, it starts giving me error messages.

PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting NVIDIA Boot Agent

[code]....

Before, I was also getting the error message 'PXE-E53: No Boot Filename Received' prior to the media test failure message. After I unplugged and replugged my internal hard drive (some forums were saying to check the cables for the hard drive) the first error dissapeared.I have a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit OS. I bought the computer second-hand off a guy who was selling it online. He didn't have any of the CDs, so my copy of Windows 7 is burned (though I do have the CD still). Before yesterday it was working fine.All I want to do is to be able to get into the computer (Hard Drive) once, so that I can backup all my files and then I'd reinstall Windows 7 from scratch.

Media Test Failure, Check Cable?

Mar 29, 2012

I was watching a movie on Netflix, stopped to go out and closed my laptop (HP Pavillion dv100 with Windows 7) so it would sleep till I got back from the store. Unfortunately, it tried but it said it couldn't "come out of hibernation" so I said OK to restarting it. But then it kept making funny noises with the DVD drive so I took out the DVD movie. [I'd left it in there for a couple of weeks cuz the DVD &/or WMD also wasn't working and I'd been working on installing an updated driverfor my video card but I wasn't getting anywhere.] Once it was DVD-less it tried to restart, but it got to the B & W Intel screen and then tried but failed to open Windows 7 and then it flashed the following error message (and has ever since):[CODe]

OS Re Installation Failure?

Nov 9, 2011

I recently received a virus that did a plethora of things and one of them was trying to delete system 32. To counter this I tried to reset my comp to a previous date. After pushing it to the farthest date and still dealing it I decided to reset to factory default without backing up any files. Everything goes great but when it starts installing the service and the OS it says the installation can not continue and the comp must be restarted. My comp is a HP TouchSmart 600 PC running Windows 7 Premium 64-bit. I have disconnected everything from it and tried running it on safe mode but I do not know how to restart it without pressing the power button but that just ends everything.

MPG Files Don't Show Accurate Time [and Resolution]?

Jan 14, 2011

When I am using Windows Explorer, recently I've noticed that MPG files are showing inaccurate length of time and resolution.As an example, I have a 1 hour MPG [720 * 480 resolution] and Windows Explorer says the length is 173 hours, 37 minutes and 16 seconds! If I go into the Details tab from the Properties of the file, it claims the bit rate is 40kbps.

Windows Media Player 12 Updates The Libraries Every-time When Open It

Feb 18, 2012

My windows media player 12 updates the libraries every time I open it, its anoying. As I remember with previous versions my libraries would update the first time player would open, then I could add particular folders I needed and it would add them, and then it would add only the stuff that was missing. Basically with older versions when i opened the player all my files were already there, with wmp 12 every time i open it my libraries are EMPTY and i have to wait for it to upload all of my music, videos, pics etc which takes a couple of minutes. I tried messing with the options but no luck. Why does it renew libraries every time i open it and how can i fix this?

No Bootable Disk/media Test Failure, Check Cable?

Nov 30, 2012

I have an HP dv5 notebook PC with windows 7 (64bit) I3 cpu m330@2.13 ghz. I recently had to wipe my hard drive due to a virus. I bought this 2nd hand and wasn't provided any disks. I do have a Dell re-installation DVD with the same OS. I realize this disk won't install my drivers but was hoping there was a way i could install just the OS and download the drivers after. I do have the original product key for the HP. Now when i start up it says "No bootable disk-- insert boot disk and press any key" or "Media test failure, check cable". Even with before mentioned re-installation disk inserted. When i goto Setup Utility: Diagnostics and run the Primary Hard Disk Self Test and the memory Test it Passes both. When i go to System configuration (f10) this is what i see[CODE]

Windows 7 64 Bit Installation Seem To Grow Larger With Time?

Dec 22, 2011

After installing a custom version of Windows 7 64 bit SP1, and all my auxiliary software, on a 30 GB partition on my laptop there were 20.0 GB of free space remaining. Now, a little more than six months later, the free space is down to 18.6 GB. Why? Every three or four weeks since I did the install I've followed the same procedure: I update Windows; I update all other programs; I make a new restore point then use "Disk Cleanup" (every option ticked) and "Disk Cleanup/More Options" under "C:/Properties" to free disk space and delete all but the newest Restore Point; I run CCleaner; I do a "System Disk Monthly" defrag using MyDefrag 4.3.1; then I back up the partition using EaseUS ToDo Backup 3.5. For the first about four months after doing the above I was left with 19.9 or 20.0 GB free space, but sometime in the last couple of months--I've been extra busy so I'm not sure exactly when it started--the remaining free space dropped under 19 GB. For the life of me I can't figure out why.

I've added a few new programs since first creating the partition, enough to account for, being very generous, 300-400 MB, but in my mind there are still about 1+ GB of occupied space for which I can't account. Given the above information it seems to me that the only place this extra "stuff" could be is in "C:/Windows", but using WinDirStat doesn't show any abnormally large files or folders. Please, does anyone more knowledgable than I know if it's normal for Windows to grow with time?

Windows 7 Boot Failure, Bootrec Unable To Locate Windows Installation

Jun 15, 2012

Yesterday, I downloaded and installed the latest batch of system updates for Windows 7. When I restarted the computer, however, it stopped at 'Starting Windows' (without the animation), then brought up the startup repair program. As is usually the case, startup repair was unable to automatically identify and repair the problem, so I did it manually, opening the command prompt backing up then attempting to rebuild my BCD. However, the BCD rebuilder was unable to identify a windows filesystem on my hard drive. I tried bootrec /ScanOS, and that wasn't able to find it either. All the data on the hard drive is still present: I confirmed this with an Ubuntu live boot flash drive, so why can't bootrec find the system? After that, I tried /fixMBR and /fixBoot, and while both apparently succeeded, the computer still refuses to boot.

Is There A Media Player That Will Show Directory Entries In Their Physical Order

Apr 11, 2012

I have a set of CDs that provide audio and video samples for a text book.I've copies the CDs to a hard drive but the text refers to the samples by track number and there are no more "tracks" as such. Does the standard Windows copy build the directory entries in the same order as the tracks in the original CD? If so, is there a media player that will show the directory entries in their physical order (and hopefully count them for me) rather than first performing the standard directory sorts first? I have the Windows Media Player and VLC.I don't see how to use either of them the way I need (although the WMP will at least let me access the CDs by track number).
