It keeps hanging on install for me very weird gets to 25% then doesnt seem to shift.
The package install progress bar seems to keep moving but the top one stays at 25% on the Windows Media Format Runtime part...then after about 2 hours it'll say was unable to complete install.
im running xp pro sp2.
My IE7 and WMP11 crashed.I dont really care about IE7 because i use M. Firefox 3.6 but i definitely need Windows Media Player. I've done every update, i tried reinstalling but nothing has been a solution.
Here is what happens;

This is what happens when i try to open media player. WMP11 does NOT OPEN AT ALL. So does IE7.
I'm open to any solutions. media player or internet explorer.
BTW; i'm using
Wİndows XP Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 2
Does Windows Media Player 11 have a data disc burner too? Can it burn DVDs?

A laptop the os system being vista it has wmp11 on it he tried to play a dvd video film on it he got the sound but the video was encrypted how can I make it so he can see the video on wmp11. I downloaded VLC and that works fine video and sound, so whats the problem with wmp11?
I have Windows Vista, WMP 11. I'm trying to play AVI files and all I'm getting is a black screen. I can hear audio, but no video.

programs aren,t working.
When I try to turn on Windows Media Player 11, Help and
Support or System Restore nothing happens.
The same problem occurs in safe mode.
System: Windows XP Pro SP2
I have win xp sp2 fully update with all drivers etc upto date. WMP11 was working fine and I can't figure what has caused the issue.
All video files play, but only the audio, the screen remains blank. This applies to local files or steaming from places such as mlb.tv etc.
I have tried removing WMP11, and 10 but nothing allows media files to play. No other software would work either. I finally got VLC to work by selecting OpenGL mode, but that would work in no other mode either.
I have checked I have all codecs, tried removing all and re adding, but nothing seems to work.
Is it possible to ungroup the music list in the library? Just like in WMP10 just like this one.
This is one of the reason I'll probably stick to 10 (or other player) even when the final build is release (unless of course it's possible).
I recently updated BIOS on a Compaq Presario 5330US running XP Home SP2. Now when I play DRM protected content with WMP 11, I get a message that states "Windows Media Player cannot play the protected content file because a security upgrade is required. Do you want to download the security upgrade?" I click on "YES," and get another pop-up message. This message says "The file or device that you are trying to use requires a component of Windows Media Player to be upgraded; click Upgrade to download and install the required component." I do, but nothing happens.
I went to the Microsoft site and read a document at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa387015.aspx, which seems to describe the situation. It appears that my WMP 11 is not "Individualized" through Microsoft's Individualization Service.
I found another document at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925705/en-us, which sends you to a Microsoft web site at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp titled Security Component Upgrade. There is an "Update" button there, but it is grayed out and not selectable.
Ive tried rolling back to WMP10 and reinstalling WMP11 (twice), I even reinstalled Explorer 7, but neither action corrected the problem.
Non-DRM protected content appears to run unaffected on WMP 11, and everything else seems to work OK, but I am very frustrated that megabytes worth of previously downloaded content is not available to me, nor am I able to run new content from the same sites. Also, I have another HP computer that has a BIOS upgrade available, but I am understandably worried about attempting this.
I install Server 2003 Standard SP1 downloaded and installed on a PII 400, 256Mb RAM with IIS, ASP.Net 2.0, SQL server 2000 SP4, Mysql 5, and PHP5, and all without a single hitch...too good to be true. I went ahead and tried on what will be my server PIII600, 512 MB RAM, First try, Server 2003 couldn't find a file when installing, retried and it worked. Downloaded SP1 and when I was extracting it said "file is corrupt", downloaded 4 more times with same result. reformatted and reinstalled 5 more times and cannot get past "file is corrupt" on SP1 and sometimes extracting the .Net 2.0 installer got the same error. I swap all hardware with PC from first try (except RAM, Mobo, CPU, CDROM) with no change. Win98 and XP installed fine on the second PC just can't get server 2003
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed xp for the first time after replacing motherboard and CPU.I skipped setup because I didn't know what I was doing. Now I can't boot up (cold or warm) without using the original disk. Can I just go into setup and change boot settings without re-installing.Is there anything else I should know before I attempt to fix this problem? I am tired of using the disk every time I update something or install new program.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've been casually looking for a new laptop for my Mom for her first computer. Now I am ready to get one, but just about the only choice is something pre-loaded with Vista. I have no experience with Vista and have heard more bad than good about it, therefore I think it would be easier to get her up and running if we're not both having to learn a new OS.
I upgraded my computer from ME to XP with few problems but wondered how difficult it would be to take a new laptop and go backwards. I know I'd most likely have to purchase a Full version of XP, but how much of a hassel is it to get all the drivers/XP versions of necessary pre-loaded software? Would a Vista compatible version of say Word work if I did this? Any other problems I haven't thought of?
I re-formated my sisters computer yesterday, and after installing it i had no internet. As i hadn't installed any drivers yet, i understood that. But after heading over to dell's site, downloading all of the drivers for her computer and then installing them, i STILL do not have any internet. I don't see any connections on the computer either, it's just blank!

I simply want the correct procedure to installing XP Pro that comes with service pack2 onto a brand new, off the shelf HDD. A HDD that has never had anything on it before.if I will remove this HDD which I am using to conect to the net and re-install the new one. I will attempt to wipe the partitions that were created by the XP Pro cd and then try the whole process again. But without the floppys this time. I wonder really, if there will be any difference?

View 2 Replies View Relatedive talked to has advised me against this. But I didn't listen.I used partition magic to make a new partition from which I could install another OS besides XP. The partition was made and activated, then I changed the boot order to run from the CD.The CD booted and ran, the files said they were loading, up until it said Loading Windows. After this I get a message saying that no hard drives have been found and all I can do is restart. Is there a reason why its doing this, and how do I get around this?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Dimension 4300 with 40gb HD (purchased in 2000).I installed a 2nd 120gb HD with two partitions; (P) for the paging file and (V) for digital editing.I want to install XP on the second HD to a) install SP2 and b) take advantage of its 7200 RPM speed.I will reconfigure the PC so that the 120gb will be the master and the 40gb will be the slave. Change the BIOS so that the cd drive will be bootable.
1) During the installation process of XP, I will partition the 120gb HD as C: but how will the PC recognize the 40gb HD since its formatted as the original c drive?
2) Any suggestions on partitioning the 120gb for performance and security
3) What is the activation process for XP? (previously done by Dell).
I am trying to install software, a motor car workshop manual, which appears to want to install itself to my C: drive, suggesting there is not enough room, understandable because my drive C: is a Zip100 disc. My hard drive is drive E: The installer does not give me the option to chose the installation location, is there any way I can force it to use E:Windows will not allow me to change the drive letter of the boot drive.
