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?
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?
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 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.
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.
Outlook Express folder list and Contacts list are not showing. I've walked her through the process of clicking on View at the top of the Outlook Express Interface and setting the Layout items so that her Contacts and Folder list should be on the screen, but they are not. I've tried everything I can think of to rectify the situation and I've run out of options. The way it is without her folders list she cannot access her deleted folder and her sent folder and cannot delete anything from those folders. Is there anything else I can do to bring up those her contacts list and her folders list?
When I click on the "All Programs" in the start menu, it comes up in one long single listing. It used to be 2 listings, when the 1st had enough, the second listing would be next to it. However it's all in a single listing now. How can I get it back to 2 lists?? This is a clear explanation.

I just looked at a previous thread with the hangup of Add/Remove program with it never populating. Never get a clear answer, just added a backup drive, may have something to do with it hanging up?
I have tried searching this forum and did some Googling but haven't seen a cure for this. I have a pretty fair amount of programs installed and my 'all programs' list is pretty long. The problem is it takes almost 30 seconds to scroll from the top to the bottom, which is annoying when I want to start a program that's at the bottom (or top) of the list. Does anyone know of a registry hack or something that can speed it up?
I am using Windows XP SP2. When I go to Start/programs I have items listed separately ie: Canon has 5 separate items. Is it possible to put these into a folder under Canon?
All the entries on the "all programs"list show empty although the associated programs are still operative. Any clues as how to fix this? Useing XP Home SP3
When I right click on a file and select "open with" there is a program on the list that I do not have anymore which is adobe acrobat reader 5.0. I have XP home.
Is there a way to remove certain things from the Add/Remove Programs file list? I've manually deleted about seven programs, because their Uninstall would not startup, but the programs stay on the list.
I have a PC running Windows 2000 (Me) and I getting the following error message:
Terminating thread due to a stack overflow problem. A VxD, possibly recently installed, has consumed too much stack space. Increase the setting of 'MinSPs' in SYSTEM.INI or remove recently installed VxD's. There are currently 15 SPs allocated. Press any Key to continue.
When I press any key I get the following error message:
There are no spare stack pages. It may be necessary to increase the setting of 'MinSPs' in SYSTEM.INI to prevent possible stacks faults. There are currently 16 SPs allocated. Press any Key to continue.
When I press any key I get the first error message again and again. The number of SPs allocated in the error message keeps increasing every time I press a Key.
The only way to acces my PC is with the SAFE Mode.
My add/remove programs list still shows items uninstalled and is missing installed items such as IE 6 I have downloaded several "fixit tools" which fixed nothing and compounded the problem.
After looking through microsofts list of cmd tools I realized that I don't have several of them. I have xp home edition sp3 .I'm guessing that not all the tools are included in the home edition.If that is true does anyone know where I would be able to download the ones that my OS does not have.I have double checked my i386 files on the install disc and found nothing there that I do not already have
this was my most recent log.. and while i'm not 100% on which to delete and which to ignore, i know for sure that there's quite a few things that need to go.
also, could you please let me know which things i can put in the "ignore list".
I have done a search in the newsgroup and come up empty. Is there a way to clear you search list in google. Everytime I go to do a search, is provides a NOW large dropdown list. This is not necessary, is there a way to clear it?
I had gone to a couple of gaming sites researching on some games and out of nowhere, it had popped up adult sites all over the place. I did all my spyware software and cleared out all the adult crap, but all of a sudden, they are showing up on my address dropdown list! Even after running the software, I thought that would clear them off the list.Is there anyway besides clearing out all of the history that I can get rid of the one or 2 individual adult web addresses?
A minor problem. When my "Favorites" list becomes crowded I highlight items and delete them. Simple. Now the dropdown list from my Address Bar has become crowded and I realize I don't know how to delete old items. Can't highlight and delete like the Favorites.
