Mkv Playback Ez Solution X32 X64-NO CODEC PACKS
Aug 7, 2009
I have seen alot about no support for mkv in wmp and wmc on these and other Windows 7 threads/boards. I've seen solutions ranging from adding a complicated divx7(not a free codec) tool with necessary support, adding various codec packs, some crazy scripts and regedits with powershell,cmd etc. that can be disastrous with the slightest mistake.
First, if you want to find out the hard way that codec packs can be dangerous, install one. Some are probably better than others, maybe some even won't screw up your system?
But a prominent codec pack-(touted on these boards)- I tried-back when I was a newbie at multi-media playback-caused major system problems. At first it worked great! Then.......Wierd random icons started showing up for un-related programs, web pages, etc., various formats stopped working, program defaults changed by themselves-had to do a clean disk wipe and os install to correct it! Most claim to be minimalist but the point is, they can essentially take-over a system and cause major instability, freezes,etc. Maybe they work for you? Not judging, just suggesting.

how do I open movie files that are created by iMovie on Apple when importing from a Hard Disk-Drive HD Camera?Only the audio would play. The video is black with an error that tells me that it cannot play icod and there is no way for me to fix this <-- what??To convert simply renders huge files and slow playback. So where can I get the codec for it?I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows Vista Home Premium?

I have just downloaded lots of theme packs for Windows 7 and was wondering if there was a quicker way to install them apart from double clicking each one?

I deleted these before knowing they are necessary for removal of a service pack. Would system restore or an Aronis image of the system be better to recover these?

I got Windows Ultimate and decided to let it install language packs I don't need (I didnt actually know they'd take a huge amount of space). Part way through the installation I cancel one of the language packs and the whole update finishes (This was a fresh install). Now in the history it says some of the language packs installed successfully but in "control panel>Change Display Language" there is only English.I'm quite sure a few language packs did install because the SSD free space was shrinking after every install.

Anybody know if during the RC other language packs will be available.
If not could I "Poodlefake" or Backport the language packs from the VISTA system.
I'd like to try the Icelandic pack so some of our "Normal" i.e non technical users back home can check / try Windows 7.
(Of course they all speak excellent English -- like most Scandanavian countries English is a mandatory language in Schools here and even as adults around 90% here speak it fluently but it would be nice to test Windows 7 in a "Working environment" away from the IT testing areas to see how it performs in day to day work. (Maybe not 100% mission critical stuff but for reasonably robust office situations).

I've no idea what's causing this. I tried installing the language packs last night and woke up the next morning to the error codes mentioned above.

Is it possible to just install a service pack as soon as you install Windows 7, or do you have to install a bunch of smaller updates first?

I got a new laptop, an LG A550, with an i5 and Geforce 640M two weeks ago things were running ok until yesterday, i was playing online and suddenly the flash game crashed. i thought it was a flash player problem, so i updated it, and problems began: not only stills with the game not loading, but also i had most web pages not loading properly. taking lots of time to load and when it happens it shows an text only creepy version of it that happens to facebook, kongragate and other sites i guess uses flash, but google and gmail and this forum works ok then i tried to update the java, but that bug makes me not be able to download that update.
I got mad and tried system restore.
All attempts failed.
Finally i tried to restore the whole system to factory conditions, to get rid of ALL softwares i had installed in this two weeks. when completed, guess what... the issue CONTINUES!
what should i do now?
could be a problem with the files at the D partition?
a hardware problem?
or some rare hard time register bug?

i think i found a solution to this problem:
some info:
i have windows 7 rc in my aspire one 150.
and when you watch Internet or listen to music, it randomly lock ups... so i tried to check the problem and it seems to be in the audio codec.
windows 7 uses a generic one, so i installed the newest one of realtek hd audio...
and for now, no lock-ups....
i'll keep posting results!

My HP 1510 printer works fine with Windows 7-64 via the drivers that were downloaded on Windows Update. My problem is that I like the HP Solution Center for scanning, but the install disc would not even load. That is, I get an error that says the software (HP SC) is not compatible with the operating system. Anybody know of a way to allow the software to be installed? If not, is there a good scanning software that works with 64 bit?

I had my P1100 colour inkjet printer for over 4 years; working perfectly under XP-Pro.
After installing Windows 7 (dual boot), the P1100 printer could not install.
HP's web site stated that no drivers would be available. As there were no Vista drivers either, I thought I had to scrap the printer.
Then I had a go of systematically installing printers from the list (Control panelSystemDevice Manager etc.)
Eventually I came to HP DeskJet 970Cse and its driver - BINGO!
The Testpage printed ok and so does everything else, including Duplex printing.
Moral - think outside the box, don't give up
I hope this may work for other printers, where no Vista or Windows 7 driver is available.

I just purchased a new laptop and installed the printer drivers for my HP 7310xi all-in-one printer. The printer works fine. I have it on a wireless network. When I click on HP Solution Center, it says "HP Solution Center cannot run because the set-up was not complete. Re-run the set-up program from the installation CD for a network installation." What concerns me is the fact that other people are having problems with the HP Solution Center and Windows 7. I tried to find a download for the HP Solution Center that works for Windows 7.

I have downloaded HP Solution Center and followed directions to the "T".Unplugged ethernet cable etc. During the install it recognizes my printer a 7410 but when doing final install it pops up a large red X. When trying to open the Solution Center I get an error message."It can not run because yor device installation is not complete" Then tells you to unplugged the printer and re-install. Have done that several times.Have it connected with an ethernet cable via the router. Even tried to connect direct.

This is basically rehashing my post from this thread: Windows 7 freezes
I've been experiencing the same freezes a lot of you guys have been experiencing lately. The machine would simply freeze, mouse wouldn't move, keyboard wouldn't respond, and the only way out is a hard reset.
Then they got worse, and started happening within a minute or two of startup, very consistently.
However, Safe Mode still runs fine, so I figured something that's disabled in Safe Mode is the cause of the freezes.
At least for my machine, this assumption turned out to be correct, and I was able to fix the problem.
Here's my solution:
Step 1: boot into safe mode (if your system didn't just crash, do this by pressing F8 at the windows boot menu).
Step 2: click Start, type msconfig, disable EVERYTHING in both the start up and services tabs. Now reboot into normal mode and see if you still experience freezes. If you do, then this solution will not help you. If, however, the freezes stop, then you've just isolated the cause of the freezes to one of the services of startup items you disabled.
Step 3: run msconfig again (you can do this in normal mode, no need to reboot again), and enable all the startup items first. Now reboot and see if your machine starts freezing again.
Step 3.1: Freezing: if the system does freeze, then the cause is one of those start up processes now enabled. To find out which, disable the second half of the list (if your machine freezes immediately after start up, do this in safe mode), and reboot to normal mode to see if it still freezes. If it does, then the cause is in the list of enabled processes, and if it doesn't, the cause is in the list of disabled processes, so enable/disable a half of the appropriate part of the list, and try again.
Repeat this until you isolate the process that's causing the freezing, and remove the software related to it.
Step 3.2: No Freezing: This means your freezing problem is caused by a system service. Leave the start up processes enabled and continue to step 4.
Step 4: in msconfig go to the services tab, and sort the services alphabetically. Disable the lower half of the list and reboot.
Step 5.1: Freezing after reboot: the freezing is caused by one of the enabled services, so again, sort the list alphabetically and disable half of the enabled services and reboot. Repeat this step, minimizing the list of potential causes until you isolate the faulty service.
Step 5.2: no freezing after reboot: freezing must be caused by one of the disabled processes, so disable the enabled ones, and repeat step 5.1 for the second half of the services list, until you isolate the faulty service.
Step 6: verification: to verify that the faulty service is indeed the cause of your freezes, disable all other services and start up items and reboot your machine with only the faulty service enabled. If it still freezes, congratulations, you've just found the root of your problem.
If it doesn't freeze, then the problem is more complex and probably involves dependencies and concurrent services, and you'd have to use more complex methods to find out what exactly is causing this.
Step 7: fixing the faulty service: This is tricky, as these are all system files.
the first thing you have to do is figure out what files the service runs off of. In my case the service in question was Workstation and it was wksvcc.dll that needed replacing to fix my machine's freezing problem. I stumbled upon the service's .dll file name after many hours searching for a way to fix a corrupt service, so I can't offer any insights into how you might find the correct .dll file for your faulty service.
Now, to fix the service:
After you've tracked down the correct .dll file, locate it in windows explorer, change it's permissions so you can modify the file (do this by opening the properties of the file, and in the security tab's advanced page, first change ownership to yourself, then give yourself permissions to modify the file). Once this is done, you can rename the file to <filename>_CORRUPT.dll. Now, as far as your system is concerned, the file is MIA and the only fix is replacing it with a copy from the repository.
Click Start, type in cmd and right click the icon to run it as Administrator.
In the command prompt window, type sfc /scannow
This will run a system file scan and discover the missing/corrupted file, and then repair it by getting a clean copy from the repository.
Once this is done, go back to Start, type and run services, then find the faulty process and enable it. Restart your machine and see if this fixed your problem.
Hopefully someone can chirp in and include a link to to some comprehensive listing of Windows services and their respective .dll files, as I haven't been able to find such a list so far.
Edit: link to a list of services and their descriptions, thanks to kitesurfa: http://www.blackviper.com/Windows_7/service411.htm#A:
Once you go into a service's page, scroll down to see the .dll files listed in the registry settings (see attached picture for example).
The above solution worked for me, however, since it involves modifying system permissions and files, do this at your own risk.

I, like many, many people here have experienced this error message coming up on the bottom right of the screen.There are many closed topics on this with some very long-winded answers and a lot of confusion.Try reactivating your copy of Windows 7 first by doing the following (It worked for me without even needing a reboot!)Open your "Start" button.type or copy and paste this slui.exe When you see it as an option to click, right click and run as administrator.Came up for me as "Activation complete" straightaway.Not suggesting this is an alternative for the larger threads but definately something to try before you go too deep (or in my case out of my depth lol)
