Rollback Media Player 12 to 11 on Win 7

Is it possible to rollback media player 12 to 11? On Windows 7, MP 12 does not recognize my portable CDrom player and does not show a Rip tab at all. MP 11 did all that without a problem. Thank you for your help.

Can I mount a share to a folder and NOT a drive letter?

I am running Windows 7, but this would pertain to earlier versions too. I have access to a share, I'll call it \\SERVER\Documents. I know how to mount that to a drive letter. That is not what I want to do. Instead I want to map it to my C:\Users\username\Documents. Is that even possible? I have searched online and others have asked this only to be told how to map to a drive letter. That's NOT what I want. Thanks, John -- John Mayson <john@mayson.us> Austin, Texas, USA

unable to create dynamic disks

In Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management, I right click on Disk 2, select "Convert to Dynamic Disk..." from the resultant menu and get the following error: The operation is not supported by the object. Any ideas? The disk I'm trying to convert is a 60GB 2.5" HDD connected to the computer via USB2. Also, how do I create mirrors in Windows Vista? In Windows 7, you right click on the partition and select "Add Mirror..." from the resultant menu. On Windows 7, that option is grayed out (I assume because I don't have any dynamic disks available) - maybe Windows Vista h

Screen saver?

Ok, this is really got me puzzled, and I have no idea where else to turn. It seems for maybe the past couple of weeks it seems that sometimes the screen saver doesn't kick in. When the time for the monitor just goes right to sleep it does. W/o the screensaver kicking in, or after it runs maybe a minute. The odd thing is after I go and check the power settings, which all look fine, it works as it should. I have tried different screen savers as well as changes the timers. I don't know if this is from 1 numerous amt. of MS updates or is there maybe a corrupt file or something.

Question about clb.dll error

I was trying to access regedit and I got an error message that there is something wrong with clb.dll. Most of the 'fixes' say that I need to go back to a restore point before I installed 'the' program that caused the problem. Well, since I have no idea when this started, I'm not going to try to go back to a restore point. I did read that you can copy the dll file from another computer and replace the one that's not working. Is the clb.dll from XP going to work in Vista? I was thinking of copying the file from my work pc (XP Pro) to my Vista (Home Premium) machine. Since ever

Other screen resolutions for remote desktop

Is it possible to select other sizes for remote desktop than what is displayed as default? None of the sizes is good enough when running windowed. Either to small or to big. Want to have it almost maximized (wnd without scrollbars). One solution that works well for me but it is a bit heavy. I start a Virtual PC session which I have sized as large as I want it and inside that VM I run a full screen remote desktop session. Works pretty well but an extra step.

Bought a new laptop. it has Vista 64-bit. How compatable are files

Hi. I was using Windows XP on my desktop before. There was some changes I had to make with the hardware. I am currently on my laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit. I plan on installing XP or Windows 7 hopefully this weekend. But since it may take longer than expected: I do have certain files I transfered from my old hard-drive in an external hard-drive enclosure through my laptop onto an external hard-drive. I was wondering if I edit the files, the rtf files (rich text files) or the mp3 metadata for instance: Will it be a problem when those files get re-introduced into a 32-bit

No icons

I have windows Vista on my laptop. I didn't like Windows Defender running so I typed "msconfig" and unchecked that block. When the computer restarted it kept telling me it can't find Windows Explorer so I shut down the computer completely. When I turned it back on I have not icons, no task bar. All that comes up is my wallpaper. I can't even do a restore. Please help! With no icons and no task bar I can't go anywhere. Also, can I shut it down and put the Vista CD in and start it up again.

HP Color Laserjet 3500 on LPT1 will not print

I changed laptops in a docking station and used a drivers CD to install the printer which was attached. Test pages and anything else I try to print goes into the print queue but never prints, finally showing an error. I downloaded the latest drivers from HP and installed them, but this hasn't fixed the problem. The original laptop still prints fine from that docking station. The old laptop was WinXP, this one is Vista. I ran the "FixIt" diagnostics but it said all problems were fixed, and it still won't print. Any suggestions for diagnosing and fixing this problem? Mic

BCD error...

I'm trying to revive an HP Pavilion a1730n that won't boot, due to not being able to read the boot configuration data. From what I've read, alot of the fixes are based off of booting from the Vista DVD & chosing a repair option. This didn't come with a Vista DVD, I justr have the recovery disks you can create, but using them looks like it wants to wipe out & install from scratch, which is my last option! I have a docking station & can access the drive from another computer. Is there a way I can fix, repair or replace the BCD file that way?

Can't Install WinVista Service Pack 1...

On a Windows Vista Ultimate machine, when trying to install Windows Vista sp 1 from a CD one of the following two errors occur: 1) The machine says that it must be rebooted to continue with the install. After rebooting (several times sometimes) the same error will likely appear, or 2) The installation just randomly fails (ie stops installing) and a generic 'Failed to Install Service Pack 1' appears. The WinVista sp1 installation also fails when trying to use Windows Updates. There are other machines on the network that are basically just like this one as far as hardware and s

disable "smart" select

This function is just driving me nuts, so is there any way to disable the smartselect/highlight stuff like when you click on some text hold down the left mousebutton and drag the mouse to mark a potion of the text. Instead of just highlighting it character by character it auto marks who words and stuff instead, really annoying.

Windows Easy Transfer won't load files?

I ran Windows Easy Transfer on my laptop with Windows 7 RC1 to save and move my profile data because Win 7 RC is shutting down. I am trying to install the Windows Easy Tranfer data to Windows Vista Business. Each time I try it won't read the file but keep asking for the drive with the data to be loaded. I tried a test by moving the the data (.MIG) files out of the folder I saved them to and put them in the root of the drive but that didn't help. I tried a test of copying the files to the root of C: and now it actually sees the file for the short test at home I trying in the path

Win 7 HDMI and poor text clarity

I am not sure if this would be considered a hardware or software issue so I will double post. Please forgive me. I am using a 19" HD flat panel TV as an external monitor for my laptop (Win 7). Text was crisp and clear with the RGB connection but when I switched to HDMI (to get the audio also) the text got pretty blurry (graphics are still pretty good). I've tried adjusting the resolution, the Clear Type text, and the Smaller 100% and Medium 125% settings but nothing seems to help. I've also tried various adjustments on the TV to no avail. Suggestions please. Thanks... Bo

Vista has slowed down, how to speed up?

Dear All, I have a trusty laptop running Vista Ultimate with 2 Gb RAM. When I first got it it ran programmes like Mozilla Firefox and the Office Suite rapidly, opening the apps quickly when required. Over time programmes began to slow down upon opening. I also tried the new Windows 7 which was OK but had a few drawbacks. So I bit the bullet and re-set my machine back to how it was when it was new. Reloaded my apps and data files, speed returned. Now it's slowing up again after only 4 months. Question: do these proprietary programs like Norton etc actually clean up the comput

Questions about limited(standard) account

I have Home Premium. Last nite I was surfing the 'net when all of a sudden a window pops up & tells me my PC is infected. The name of the program is Vista Antivirus 2010. I was using the standard account. I had previously downloaded & installed Malwarebytes, so I logged off the standard account & logged onto the administrator account. I started the program & updated it & ran a full scan. It found 2 files both of which were in the standard account. It deleted them.

Can't access newsgroups other than Microsoft

Hi, Sorry about cross posting, but after reading my question you'll see why it was necessary. Where I live, the only newsgroup which I can access is on Microsoft's server; no other newsgroups are offered thru any ISPs (because of POLITIKAL considerations). I know that Google offers browser-based newsgroup review and posting, but its interface is far from the convenience of a traditional newsreader such as Windows Mail, Outlook Express etc. Does anyone know of a way to get around this and access a server by a something like Windows Mail?

Laptop Specs for using PS

I soon intend to buy a laptop suitable for Photoshop and am looking for suggestions. I also have a question: Since a gaming computer is so good at graphics, would I be wise to consider one of these?

I am cuurently looking at a Sager gaming laptop - the NP8121 http://www.sagernotebook.com/product_customed.php?pid=258533 It has a lot of hardware which I would put to good use. Comments please?

Printer spooler error

Whilst I appreciate your reply Stan, it is somewhat akin to gloating that you are superior. Whilst I am sure that you are more than able to argue your point to the Nth degree, there are I am sure many others who would disagree. I do not really have a point of view. What I have, I have to deal with, it is too late to start wishing I had different equipment. I have a problem, I have asked for advice. There is little point arguing whether 64 bit is worse than 32 bit as is the AMD Intel argument. The best advice you give is to wait until someone with knowledge of the problem suggests

Bright and washed out looking Office documents inc IE

Hi, my Office docs, inc Outlook and even the pages on IE have suddenly appeared washed out and a lot brighter. It is making my eyes strain and the blue wording you often see on IE pages such as on forums, is faint now, at least the small words that are often to the side of boxes etc. I did a system restore and that came back as successful but there was no change to the bright pages, they are still bright and washed out. All of the boxes for instance in Outlook at the bottom left of the screen, are all bright and washed out, everything is. I've not been fiddling with but

Double-click hanky-panky on desktop.

Running Vista Home Premium SP2. The subject says "on desktop" only because I haven't looked for signs of this problem elsewhere yet. The problem seems to manifest itself in different ways. I'll describe the most obvious way, and if there's no response, I'll try to describe other symptoms as best I can; although the more I experiment, the more it's starting to look as though I'm zeroing in on something -- I know not what. After a Restart, a single-click on one of my desktop icons will highlight that icon, but it will also highlight the bottom-rightmost (BR) icon. This was

My Contacts folder (which is empty) is still in the "user files" folder. However, I cannot open Contacts by a shortcut or within the Windows mail.
