When I open Windows file explorer, for my .mp3 files, I cannot get track title, number, artist, etc. It only displays file name, size, type, date created and date modified. When I right click on the file and select properties, summary, advanced, the information is not there either. This only happened in the last month or so because before I did get this missing track info for the same files on the same disk using the same Windows file explorer.
They are all files that I copied from my own cds, not from the internet, and do not have 'tag'information. All 750 of them, except for 8, show up as'Track 01', or 02, 03, etc. When I looked at the file properties of the 8 files that *did display their titles on the mp3 player, under the 'summary' tab, in the 'track title' field, it was BLANK. Under the 'general' tab, the actual title of the file was listed correctly.
The files that did *not have their correct titles listed on the mp3 player, under the 'summary' tab in 'file properties' in XP, had a title like 'Track 01' listed. Under the 'general' tab of file properties however, the actual title of the song was listed correctly. Is there a way I can go in and mass edit out the 'Track 01' title from all those files? Does this indicate some other problem?
Until recently Windows Explorer has shown the title of a CD inserted into either the CD Rewriter or the DVD reader drive on my PC. Since about two weeks ago, XP does not react at all to the insertion of a disk until I click on the relevant drive letter in the left pane of Explorer. It then shows the content of the disk but still does not show the disk title info. In addition Autorun no longer operates even though it is enabled.
When I tried to remove a couple dated data partition Cobian backups from my XHDD, the error message, 'File Title too large to fit into the Recycle Bin' appeared. The deletion of the several Gigs of data that was no longer needed was stopped. How do I manage to remove this material from the XHDD so that the space becomes available?
Apparently there is a maximum length of file 'title' that the Recycle Bin will accommodate. If it is exceded, a file can not be deleted (sent to the Recycle Bin). I have run into this problem trying to remove out-of-date backup files from my XHDD. What is this limit?
A little while ago I transferred some of my CD and vinyl collection on to my PC using Windows Media Player 9+, all in all about 1500 songs transferred randomly, everything went fine.
I then copied these tracks over to my music folder in my Documents, from there sorted them into year or artist by making folders.
So for example, I might have 50 track's of various artists from the Fifties so I created a Fifties folder the same for the Thirties, Forties Sixties and so on. Where I have 50 tracks by the same artist, Buddy Holly or the Trogs I have created a folder called Buddy Holly or the Trogs and so on and I have no problem listening to any track on my PC via WMP
My questions are, when I open WMP, click media library, then click all music, in the left-hand column I can see all my tracks either under artist, album, or genre but it's not how I want it.
Firstly we have a custom built C program which uses the Borland Database engine and at random intervals users will recieve an error pointing to the fact that the BDE cannot be initialised. After a bit of investigation I have found that the whole HKLMSoftwareBorland hive is missing from the registry. I can rule out user because even to get into the registry as admin is a chore due to group policy. It seems that on machines that also have Adobe Photoshop and Acrobat Writer that the latter 2 programs freeze after this error happens in the C app All of the above can be fixed by reinstall of the appshow can I try and track down just what is deleting these reg keys?
Windows Explorer used to open with the C: drive expanded and the display positioned roughly halfway down the list. Now it's opening with My Documents expanded. Is it possible to change the default display? I prefer the C drive display.(WinXP Home SP2)
I right clicked on the Explorer toolbar and by mistake clicked to remove the ADDRESS BAR. Now I have no ADDRESS BAR on my Explorer.I can go to any page by going through Google or MSN search, but no ADDRESS BAR display.I did a Roxio GoBack to a known good time but that did not bring back the ADDRESS BAR.
i made some mp3 files from some of my own cd's i have tehn changed the file names form track 01, track 02 and so on the the artist name and correct song title but when i look in windows explorer on the propeties/ summary page they all have the original track number and it will not change.
I am making one final attempt to avoid re-loading Windows from scratch. Your help is always appreciated.I am running Windows XP Media Center version. Of late, it has taken to simply locking up after sitting idle for some time. Because it does this while sitting idle, I thought it might be related to powering down to stand-by or screen saver. I turned both of those of, ie, system is always on, no screen saver. It still happens.When it happens, nothing works. The mouse moves, but does not work. The keyboard does not work. It matters not if any programs are running or not. I am forced to cold boot.
I have been getting this msg "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" when trying to connect to a web site (q8yat.net). I tried Firefox & IE7. I have access to all other websites? I used to have access to the web site previously but all of a sudden, no more access? can someone help me out plz?PS: I tried many things but didn't work ( no access when starting it in safe mode too)
I use Google as my home page and lately I been having intermittent problems with it. When I open my internet explorer, it says "Internet Explorer cannot display page". It's not my internet connect because if I type in an address other than my home page in the URL bar it will open. My AOL works too. After hitting the home button a few times, my home page, Google will open. But after awhile surfing the net, when I hit the home button, I get that message again that it can't display page. Right now as I type this, I hit the home page button and it says cannot display page so I hit the back arrow and I come back to this page and I can continue typing and I can send this thread. What's wrong with my home page "Google"?
After reboot, on I.E. I keep getting the following error message:"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" but if I go to address bar, & select my Home page, it WILL display. This does NOT happen on Firefox??
Dell computer running XP operating systems, using Netgear wireless modem to gain access to the internet. I can gain access to the internet using AOL software but cannot gain access using IE. I have uninstalled IE and reinstalled, nothing. I have turned off virus protectionm nothing. I can download updates for AVG but no update for Microsoft. I tried to download software at the beginning to update drivers, no luck. Help,I am at my wits end.
Basically, when an internet explorer window is minimised, so you just have the tab for it along the bottom of the screen, i want to know if there is a way to not show the name of the page you are viewing.
I have an odd bug cropping up on multiple machines lately with XP Pro SP2. I've yet to find any other instances on the net, but I'm not exactly sure of what to search for. I open Windows Explorer and leave it open. If anything happens on the Desktop (say a file is deleted, created, name changed, anything) the Windows Explorer will list Multiple "Desktops" at the top of the list on the left pane. Now these "Desktops" are actual folders that exist on my Desktop and I can click on them and see the contents of each folder, and in the address bar the real folder name is shown, but for some reason Windows Explorer displays them as "Desktop" instead of the real folder name in the left pane.
Also when this happens I can no longer navigate the folder tree properly. Plus signs to expand a tree no longer work, when I double click on a subfolder to open it, it doesn't refresh the left pane. I can close out Windows Explorer and reopen and all is well again until the next change. This is a very very frustrating bug and even happens on clean installs. Has anyone else had experience with this bug or have any clues what might be causing it? BTW, this clean install was using nLite to slipstream SP2 and automate the install. The only other options I used was disabling services that I always disable anyway such as the firewall,
I am running XP Pro on a Dell Latitude D620. I have just started to get the following error message Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. I have tried the usual stuff it won't display any page.
I recently bought an ASUS A8JP Notebook PC (WinXp MCE, 1Gig RAM, 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo) and I guess it ran well the first day, but as soon as I installed all the needed software (and cleared out some factory installed bloatware), I noticed that the time for my Desktop to load after logon takes up to 2 minutes.Here's what I've done to try fix this
1. Defragmented HD 2. Turned off unwanted startup items and about 1/3 of the services at startup. 3. Tweaked and cleaned up the registry. 4. Flashed my BIOS to the latest Revision.
I'm using a utility called ultraiso and when trying to rip some data cds to iso, it says "Multi-track information will be lost if using standard iso format". I then rip it with nrg and rips ok. Can anyone explain what this means? if nrg just as much of widely used standard?
I am using Music Match as default media player. Anyone know how can I change my folder settings so that their music logo doesn't appear before each track in my mp3 music folders.
I have been trying for several days, I just keep getting this message: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage Most likely causes: You are not connected to the Internet. The website is encountering problems.There might be a typing error in the address.
Why do i keep getting message, Internet explorer cannot display web page every time i try to go to different web pages it is so anoying, i have turned off windows firewall but it still does it.
i cant get internet explorer or firefox to display webpages. The wierd thing is, I can get google earth to work, I can sign into yahoo messenger, but I can't open IE because it says "page cannot be displayed. Ive tried everything from configuring my network, unplugging the cable modem for a minute then plugging it back in, I scanned my comp for viruses, nothing is working and I cant figure out the problem, the internet connections says im connected to the internet too
I recently had to do a system restore and now my .jpg and jpeg files have a bad file icon. They still do open with the windows pic program as I want them to - but only on the admin accout, I usually surf and play and do everything else with a user account, and even if I reset everything under folder options for the file associacions it somehow doesn't apply to the other account.
windows tells me in the file association menu that I changed the file association's properties and can set them back to standart "photo suite 6" - a program that I uninstalled ages ago
Why would Internet Explorer not display pages on one user account, but be just fine in another user account? I havent found any more spyware or viruses on the computer in any user accounts.
When changing the title to the cmd prompt and after closing and then reopening it reverts back to the old title ? My path in the Cmd Prompt window > C:> title
I just did a fresh load of XP Pro but have a few minor but very annoying problems.
1. In a folder window (ie My Computer or Explorer) the title bar only shows the first letter of the path. If the path is C: emp the "C" is displayed if D:archive then "D" is displayed. I have tried going to "Tools--->folder option ---->view and select "show full path in title bar" and checking and unchecking. I have tried different fonts and different size fonts.But still the title bar is unchanged.
