Solve : Windows movie editor help?

Answer»

So My girlfriend made a video using Windows Vista's Windows movie editor. She used a lot of small video clips and they all work perfectly and showed up just fine. After we published it though some of the video clips showed up as black. It still had the audio we had set up during those clips but it just only showed black where a couple of the videos should have been. All of the videos where done with the same camera, same format, and had all the same setting. We don't know how to fix this or even what is going on that is the problem. If anyone could help it WOULD be much appreciated. Thank you.1. First of all ... what kind of video files are you attempting to use? (avi, mpg, what is it?) I am asking about those video you say is coming off of your camera

2. Did you test out video files in a media player like window media player and it play perfectly fine with the audio and sound you EXPECT? For video playback, I would definitely install klite codec pack into your pc, as well as standalone divx and xvid codec and that should handle almost all major video FILE types. If klite codec pack installer tell you to disable or uninstall divx or xvid codec to prevent issues, keep the codecs on but disable ok.

3. These are filetypes supported by windows xp's version of windows movie maker, but I assume windows movie maker of vista also support same file  types. I have only been using wmv, avi and mpeg files recently with the windows movie maker of vista. Quote

Video files: .asf, .avi, .wmv
Movie files: MPEG1, .mpeg, .mpg, .m1v, .mp2
Audio files: .wav, .snd, .au, .aif, .aifc, .aiff
Windows Media files: .asf, .wm, .wma, .wmv
Still images: .bmp, .jpg, .JPEG, .jpe, .jfif, .gif
MP3 format audio: .mp3

Check it out and let us know what you find so we can assist you in troubleshooting your problem, but apparently as you see from above, we need more info to figure out what your pc is doing or what you are doing on your pc.I am using .avi and stand alone the videos play perfectly. Even in the editor themselves they work perfect. its only after we "publish" it does it not show up. And i allready am using divix for codex purposes. Thank you again for any help anyone can offer.

ok, i am wondering what happen if you convert original videos to different format? Would you still be getting same problem as before in the windows media maker? Give that a shot. Im willing to try that but its on my girlfriends laptop and thats at her house so i cant do it till tomorrow. I doubt it will work though since all the files are the same type and they all work. Except those couple that is. Quote from: Ragon on May 21, 2009, 01:33:37 AM

I don't know how your pc will respond to it because I'm not at your pc. But if that works then, something's fishy with your video files. At LEAST there's one start.Okay so after some testing it publishs just fine alone but not in the video lol.  So i tried converting it like you said and it worked!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much you are awesome! Quote from: Ragon on May 21, 2009, 02:12:13 PM

Glad it worked. I don't understand why your video doesn't work if it supposedly is a non broken, supported file by the movie maker. But as long as it works after you have converted first, I'm glad!!!

I need to BURN a disk and the only way that I know it will work for sure is if I do it in NERO since I GOT one made like it with currpted files.  The thing is that I install it then tell it to make a data disk but it just stands there.  I think its like ver 6After similar problems I gave up
on nero and use http://cdburnerxp.se/ (free) ever since!Ashampoo Burning Studio Free is another good free one that gets its job done. Last I tried, I got a good disc. Never tried the cdburnerxp though

Solve : Paste Special in WORD - like Excel?

Answer»

I have a WORD document where i have "indents".
BUT NOT all the indents have the same justification interms of EXACT distance from the left side of the page.

They are off by 1/16" ---- or ----- the words wrap UNDERNEATH the numberic number of the item.

There are parts of the word document that are perfect --- such as the word wrap forms a PERFECT paragraph and the number stands in it own column.

Is there a way, (like in Excel) to highlight the format I want & paste the same format on the "SCREWED-UP" parts --- so they're all the same??? 

If not --- is there another method --- aside from jerking with the indents manually up top on the ruler?

Thanking you in ADVANCE,
RNevermind...
I figured it out...


I highlighted the GOOD paragraph.
Right clicked and made a NEW style.

Then highlighted the BAD STUFF and selected the new style to follow from the buttons uptop.
Then right clicked again to re-start the numbering again... 1

Hope that helps someone out there some day.

Hi Nayak.

Good luck.

I would use registryfix or advanced systemcare if you want to be looking for registry cleaner. BUT if I were you, I would leave registry alone unless you need to modify it somewhere or you're having pc issues needing registry CHANGES. Else, if computer is fine as is, don't break it. Changing incorrect stuff in registry can make your pc suddenly stop working when it was perfectly fine before the single deletion.

Solve : Issue Installing MS Office 2007?

Answer»

I am trying to install Office 2007 on an HP laptop running Vista Business and has a 64KB PROCESSOR. I put the disk in and it starts the install program. It tells me it can't find the Office.en-us/OfficeLR.cab file. I can physically open the disk and the file is there but when I try to guide the install to it all it shows for available files in this folder is a 1033 folder. If I try to point it to any folder except the root DVD/CD drive it tells me invalid location. The laptop is currently running Office 2003 and also has Open Office on it. Do I have to uninstall the Office 2003 first? I didn't have to on my desktop but that runs XP. Any ideas?
Thanks
DennisInstalling two versions of Office on the same computer can be tricky.  Microsoft generally recommends not doing it. Here's an article which may be helpful: Working with Multiple Versions of Office

If you have your desktop PC and laptop PC networked, you could do as I do. I have Office 2003 installed on my desktop (Win XP) and Office 2007 installed on my laptop (Vista).  The two computers are networked via my router and I have file sharing enabled.  So, if I'm using my laptop and want to open a file an Office 2003 file on my desktop, I can navigate to it via the network and open the file and work with it on laptop. When finished, I merely save it to the original desktop location.  Office 2007 automatically knows to save such files in Office 2003 file FORMAT; it immediately recognizes it is working with an Office 2003 file upon opening the file.Actually I'm trying to UPGRADE to 2007 from 2003. I don't want to keep both versions on it. On my desktop it just overwrote the 2003 and installed 2007 over top. This laptop wont even start to install. It says it cant find that cab file and when I try to point it to the file to show the program where it is it ISNT there and I get invalid location for that folder. this might help: Office 2007 clean install from Upgrade?

Solve : Lame help ecoding??

Answer»

I am useing Audacity and I just need some help with the imput level.

I see whenever I import say an MP3 Music File in Audacity it will show you a graph of the Audio File.

And the graph is FLAT and does not move I like this it just show the Flat graph spreadout across the screen.

And the  graph seems to always be displayed as very high  what I meen is the graph will always be spreadout to the very top and ver bottum of the Tracks.
And it plays ok and sound good so I wanted to know when I do a recording to get the best sound sould I have the imput level in Audacity set all the way to the Lright I think that is to 100%  

I assume you got Exporting MP3 files working?

I am barely able to UNDERSTAND what you are asking, but I think I get it.
You're asking if the Input Level determines the quality of the sound when you are recording from a microphone.

The Input Level is simply the 'loudness' you want to record at. If you set it to 100%, the microphone will be at its maximum sensitivity, which does not necessarily mean best quality. Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on May 16, 2009, 11:50:10 AM

You're asking if the Input Level determines the quality of the sound when you are recording from a microphone.

The Input Level is simply the 'loudness' you want to record at. If you set it to 100%, the microphone will be at its maximum sensitivity, which does not necessarily mean best quality.

... especially when you are either picking up background noise or you are too close to the mic making your boice sound like a trumpet.The dynamic range of Digital Recording is some much wider that Analog. There is little point in recording at a very high level. High level recoding causes distortions and/or  reduces dynamic range.

The point is, do NOT record at high levels. After you record you can add effects, mix tracks and a lot of other neat things. After you are sure you will do not more changes to the audio, you ask Audacity to 'normalize' the audio. It will do its best to raise the level to just under the clip level. Save a bask cup copy in a high quality format without clipping .Then save another copy in the MP3 format with over driven level high distortion, if that is want you like.

This is off topic. Your original question was about the LAME encoder. Did you get that working right? The encoder does not set levels nor does it improve audio that was bad from the start.Soory what I ment was.

Whenever I Import an MP3 or any Music File the graph in Audacity LOOKS like the sound was recorded very High.
Because the graph that shows the sound file very High.

So I wanted to know if I record say a sound from my computer or Mic or anything sould I have the imput level set to the max??

Simple answer is that you record at a levelalways  below the clip level.
You will need to experiment. I often record at levels about -12db relative to the max. Then I ask the sound editor, audacity,m to 'normalize the sound later. Before I put Audio up for other to hear, I would use some process to hold the level steady.People do not like it when the level keeps going up and down. (Unless that is part of the effect you want.)
Some audio systems have automatic level control. Which I find to be an annoyance, so I turn it off. Unless I am feeling lazy  Editors like Audacity have BETTER volume compressors that you can adjust for best results.

Again, do not record at high level for a live recording. Use the 'normalize' tool before you save the mix.


Thanks for the help.

What sould I expanct from the   'normalize Tool  will it ask me for a lot of  settings  or   if I have say a sound that I recorded at Max Level it will just make it 'normal? Quote

Do not record at MAX level!

Rather the prolong this thread any more, would you please read the tutorials on Audacity. Here is a simple video to get your STARTED.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrPGMjZORCM
Soory I got off topic from exportting to MP3 and using Lame.

I do understand when I open the Lame Zip Folder I have to copy the Lame_enc.DLL File to the Desktop and let Audacity find it I get this.

But after I do this I still have the Lame Zip Folder with all these other Files in it and one called Lame.exe can I just get rid of them or do the Lame_enc.DLL need these???Only that one file is needed.
I have a directory for all my downloads and I put what I do not use  in there. I don't bother cleaning it out until it gets real big, like gigabytes. Then I put them on a DVD-R and file it. Quote from: Geek-9pm on May 17, 2009, 02:25:54 PM

Yes, exactly. lame.dll is the only thing you need on your pc once you get audacity to export mp3 without issue. And like Geek said, I keep all good files I download on my computer. What if I suddenly need something and there's no internet at the time? Even if it's older version, life can still go on to whatever extent it ends at.Nymph. I don't think you understand.

Copy the .dll file OUT of the zip archive and DELETE the zip archive.

Nymph. I don't think you understand.

Copy the .dll file OUT of the zip archive and DELETE the zip archive.



you have to have the lame.dll extracted on your computer in a folder of your choice outside of the zip file. Have audacity locate it and get your mp3 thing working. Then you can delete the zip file.NOTE WELL:
This thread has be prolonged because of not understand the instructions.
The instructions are on the aAdacity page and on the relevant LAME page.
The two sites are independent and the instructions may not be coordinated to idiot-proof third-grade reading level.

Has a recent version of the LAME just for idiots. But it requires you to scroll down the page until your find:

Solve : Animated .gif in GIMP?

Answer»

Hello,

I'm trying to create a .gif (from a video CLIP) using GIMP.  I've been able to do everything, but when it comes time to view my finished product it undergoes a massive slowdown.  Here's what I did, step by step.

Use MediaCoder (Ver. 0.7.0 Build 4385) to pick out a few seconds from the full length video.
Muted the clip.
Transcoded into AVI.
Used GIMP's "Split Video into Frames" option to ATTAIN the frames. (CHANGING only the destination for the frames and "Audiotrack" to 0)
Used the "Playback" option to review, and select the exact frames necessary, deleting the excess.
Used the "Frames to Image" leaving all options alone.
Used "Scale Image" to reduce the dimensions slightly.
Then went and saved (using "Save As"), inputting the .gif extension.  Selected "Save as Animation".
LEFT all other options alone.

It looks perfectly fine under GIMP's playback option, yet if I GO over to my folder and preview it there, that image is sluggish and choppy.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Solve : Using transparent graphic to alter user interface of programs?

Answer»

Hi.
I'm monitoring three different computers on one SCREEN, (with VNC).

Any way to lay a transparent graphic over each of those MACHINE's screens so that I can instantly tell them apart?

The program itself has no way to change its interface itself, and it's a light gray, so I consider it an EMPTY canvas ready to paint on.

The graphic WOULD be set to be always-on-top, and I would hope to be able to click "through" it to control the programs beneath.

Any ideas?

ThanksYou can give this a shot.....

Solve : Start up disk?

Solve : What is the best Free Download Manager??

Answer»

I have been running into problems with my satellite server in that they only allow 200MB/day download/uploads.  My computer is set to automatically download updates from Microsoft and Norton Anti-virus.  Apparently it downloaded 173MB a few days ago and coupled with a few smaller downloads, that put me over the top for the next 24 hours and connectivity slowed down to about 12kb!  I am still at a loss as to figure out what program downloaded 173MB?  This was done while I was not using my computer, but it was still connected to the internet.  How does one find that out?  I checked in the add/remove programs to see what, if anything, was added to Microsoft or Adobe updates and couldn't find anything.  Anyway, the satellite PROVIDER suggested that I get a Download Manager and when I Googled it there were so many choices that I had no idea which one was the most user-friendly and one that I could set to do the automatic downloads between 3:00AM and 6:00AM as that is the "free" time in the service that I use.  Any suggestions from satisfied Download Manager users out there?  Thanks in advance.

Solve : Default Line Spacing in Publisher 07?

Answer»

I have a very large Publisher document. A few months back, I changed the default font, but the line spacing also changed, even though I did not change it. I cannot figure out how to change the line spacing of the entire document! So since then I change the line spacing one page at a time as I am working on it. Very time consuming!

How do I change the line spacing for the entire document? How do I make a DEFAULT line spacing for the entire document?I have Publisher 2007 (part of Office 2007) but haven't used it much. What type of document are you working on? How are you changing line spacing, by using the Line Spacing button on the Formatting menu? I am writing a booklet.

Each page is a large text box of written or imported text.

I HIGHLIGHT the TEXT inside the text box, open FORMAT, open PARAGRAPH, then change line spacing.  But it only works on the highlighted portion of the text I selected.  There is no option that says "Apply to entire document" or words like that.

I don't see a LINE SPACING listed in the FORMAT menu LIST?Sorry, the button is on the Formatting toolbar, not the menu.  It LOOKS like this:


But, I believe you should be able to do it through the menu, too. This may help:

Quote from: Shalomgal on April 08, 2009, 08:49:46 AM
I am writing a booklet.

"Booklet" isn't one of the "Publication Types" listed in Publisher.  Below is a partial list of what appears on the LEFT SIDE of a newly opened Publisher window. 

So, again, exactly what type of template are  you using for your booklet?Sorry, I didn't understand the question.

I am not using any template.  Simply 8.5 X 11 single pages. Quote from: Shalomgal on April 08, 2009, 09:42:48 AM
I am not using any template.  Simply 8.5 X 11 single pages.

I believe that means you would select "Blank Page Sizes", under Publication Types, and  then select the 8.5 x 11 SIZE if you were starting a new document. Anyway, I believe the solution may be to create a Style or modify an existing Style to set line spacing at 2 lines.  Then, by applying that Style to your document, I believe the selected spacing will be applied to the whole document.  Styles can be saved and applied to new documents.

That's really all I can suggest. Since I really haven't used Publisher much, I don't think I can be of more assistance.  But, Styles appears to be work the same in Publisher as in Word, and I believe using Styles may be a solution for you. Thanks for helping.  I appreciate it.

Solve : Vista not Genuine....that came on my PC.?

Answer»

Hello, I have searched online for my exact problem and I have not been able to find it. I recently bought a new Gateway PC. Vista Home Premium came on my PC. I did not by the program seperately. I have had the PC for a bit. Now out of no where I am getting pop ups saying "I am running counterfeit software"...meaning Vista. Every time I TURN my PC on I am brought to a activation code box. Vista came on my PC so shouldnt it be automatically activated? I am very confused at the moment and I just want my PC to work. Thanks for the help.

MattIt should. Where did you purchase this from?

It's possible that MS added a product key to their blacklist, and yors happens to be similar enough to fall into it.I bought it at Tiger Direct. Gateway only told me I should restore my PC to its factory settings...of course the restore DISCS did not come with the PC....so Im getting those in a week. I dont know where else to go for help.does the hard drive have a recovery partition that you are aware of?

It might be possible to download the restore discs from their web site. This is assuming you have a burner to use, of course.

You can also give gateway a call, see if they can help you out in the meantime.Yeah I have done the instant online help and they werent too much of help. So I think Ill give them a call...havent had time the last couple of days. So you have not seen anything like this before? Vista that came on the desktop not working?Well, unless the dealer you got it from was unscrupulous.

I've heard of it happening with XP; installing one of the service packs for example can invalidate some OEM installations because MS blacklists OEM keys that are distributed on pirate networks. Unfortunately the legit users are impacted as well.

Unfortunately MS only really helps with RETAIL copies of windows purchased from stores, and defects to your Manufacturer in the case of an OEM install.

Can you tell us the model number of your gateway?#800 TOLL Free Registration

Hi Guys!!

MANY useless, "Automatic" start-up type of Services eat a lot into "System Resources" & makes your system slow! Iam quite a pro-active to keep a diligent check against the same at regular intervals!

Now, Can I make this INTEL(R) NMS service that starts "Automatically" on turning on the Windows to "Manual" What could be the repercussions?!

Jai HO..
from India!That is a diagnostic app for your network card/chip...
If you turn it off you may find you can't go online...Hello Patio!

Well, I do not intend to completely disable that Service but wanna make that Manual instead of making it run Automatically everytime!

Now what you say?Same thing as above....all you can do is test it and see.

          

List your startup APPS and maybe we can prune some of those out for you.
Then we'll MOVE on to services.

Solve : What's the worth of an FTP Client for a Normal Web User??

Answer»

Hi Guys!

FTP Clients like SmartFTP, CuteFTP have caught my attention a no. of times, but have remained an untouched realm for me!

Can some one please tell me the WORTH of an FTP Client for a normal web user like me?!

I mean, can I use any one of these to initiate a Fast &  a Reliable uploading of my Photos/Videos on say, Picasa,Flickr....or any service like that?

& finally...Please..Please do not give me a 'COPY-PASTE' DEFINITION of FTP or anything like that..!
I use an FTP client to UPLOAD pictures to my own web site. Easy and quick. I get lost in  Clip Shack. I keep a shortcut to the FTP client on my desktop. I have never used it to log  into some other site.
But there all kinds of FTP clients. Even Netscape will let you FTP. Some other application programs too."a normal web user" usually does not need an FTP client.  I have an FTP client  (WS_FTP) installed on my Win XP system and use it to upload/download web page files from a web server.  I could be wrong but I believe this is the most common usage of FTP clients.  So, if you don't develop and/or maintain a website, you PROBABLY have no need for an FTP client.But No. of prominent companies have started offering Webspaces to an individual users, to upload their content, like "Google Sites"; so can't I use an FTP Client to upload content on my individual Web Space?

Similarly, I have a Picasa account, exclusively meant for my purpose! So really is it possible?A normal user won't need an FTP client.  If you need to do any uploads to any websites that you run then you may need a client.  Also, if you do any type of web development, an FTP client will be helpful.

Such free webspace services as Google Sites or Yahoo's GEOCITIES do not require FTP.  In fact, they SIMPLY don't accommodate use of FTP at all.

Solve : Scheduled Tasks dying?

Answer»

Windows XP Pro SP2.
I have 3 scheduled tasks that run on one of my servers. They are started by a SPECIAL user account that is not used by anyone, it is part of the Administrator Group. My userid is also in the Admin Group. When I log on the 3 jobs are not running. I start them via Scheduled Tasks (as the special user) and I can see the processes running via the Task Manager. If I log off and then log on and LOOK at the process again, they are NOT running.

Any Ideas?Try removing the tick from the "Run only if logged on" check BOX.
I double CHECKED the scheduled tasks. The "Run only if logged on" box is not checked.
Any other ideas?Is the Task Scheduler service running? i.e. Is it set to Automatic?
Is there any information in the log file to indicate any problem with the scheduled tasks?

If I hit the backspace even once the number is deleted. How do I GET rid of
that space?Is the ruler VIEWABLE?  If not, go to the view tab, then tick "ruler".  Now see if the line indents (the LITTLE triangles on the ruler on the top) are apart for some reason.  Are they 2 triangles and the little rectangle all together on the left as far as it can go?USE decimal tab for numbers.

Solve : Installing Microsoft Office Home & Student along with Office 97?

Answer»

I've had Office 97 since 1997 and have been happy with it, however, since many documents I receive have been done on newer versions of Office, I decided to buy Microsoft Office Home & Student.  My other reason is that I have recently PURCHASED a LAPTOP that doesn't have a word processing program so I figured I would buy the newer version because the salesman assured me that I could legally RUN the NEW version on both of my computers, but Office 97 cannot be run legally on both computers.  Since I have thousands of documents done with Office 97 I am wondering how well these documents will open on the newer version?  The salesman at Staples said that the two programs would run along side each other and that I didn't have to DELETE Office 97 from my system.  Is this true?  And will they play nice together?  I also have more than a few documents on floppies that were made with Word Perfect in 1995.  Will I have a problem opening these in the newer version of Office?  And yes, I still have 2 floppy drives on my computer that I had built about 4 years ago.  I never have much luck putting stuff on re-writeable cds and then getting them to open again and do changes.  I have an external hard drive instead.  Thanks for your time.Word 97 documents will open fine with Word 2007.  You can then decide whether to save it in Word 97-2003 format, i.e., .doc, or the newer Word 2007 format, i.e., .docx.   If you want, you can set Word 2007 to use the Word 97-2003 format by default.

Installing two versions of Office on the same computer can be done but it's not recommended.  If you want to install both, do a careful read of this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/218861

Solve : Adobe Reader and Outlook 2007 problem?

Answer»
Hi all,

I have Adobe Acrobat 9.1 installed on my windows based laptop.

When I use the email function in Adobe Acrobat after the email is sent a message balloon POPS up saying that Adobe acrobat has stopped working and DEP has shut down the program.

My default email programme is outlook 2007.

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee help

I don't use Vista, but you might try excluding either or both (Acrobat and Outlook) from DEP.
In your topic title here, you say "Adobe Reader and Outlook 2007 problem" but in your post, you say "Adobe Acrobat".  They are not the same software.  So, which of them do you mean? 
Thanks for the replies.

I really appreciate it.

Sorry my mistake.
The same issue arises with both adobe reader and adobe acrobat.

Anytime I try to exclude it under DEP it says that it is not POSSIBLE to exclude Adobe from DEP.

Any other suggestionsHave you a WORKAROUND?
Adobe is a moister program and I avoid it altogether. I use the old version 6, which may be the last usable version they made.
Can you not just save your WORK and send in as an attachment in your favorite e-mail program?Thanks Geek-9pm

That is what I am currently doing.

I was hoping that there would have been a way of fixing it.

You might try disabling DEP altogether.  See http://www.realtime-vista.com/administration/2007/04/disabling_data_execution_preve.htm for some discussion of this.

Solve : Reformatting an hp laptop?

Answer»

Hope this is the right place to post. How can i go about doing this without the CD? the laptop is an hp pavillion dv 1000 and it has a partioned disk. It's my girlfriend's but she seems to have lost the cd that came with it. Please be detailed as i have no experience formatting a computer before. Thanx in advance.Press F10 at HP logo.
Be warned, all your DATA will be lost.Thanx but i did say detailed. does this reformat without  the use of a cd? will all the hp programs applications and drivers still be there? will it take care of the partitioned drive?After using F10 option, the computer will be returned to is original state, like being straight from the store.oh ok, but this might not be able to work. this work off of the partioned disk right? the problem is it had the the virut with INFECTED all that stuff, i've MANAGED to clear the virut off but some system files are corrupted so i think that may be corrupted as well. I will try it but i just want to know what to do in the event that those files weren't infectedYour computer should have recovery partition, unless someone played with it.
If you don't care about your data, you won't break anything by trying.I'm sorry didn't explain properly. i had the win32/virut which had infected the filled of the partitioned disk, so this is why i'm not sure it might not work. i'm gonna back up the necessary files before i do this. If you back up, make sure, after reinstall, you scan every single file with AV program.i know. i surely plan to. at the moment i'm just RUNNING one final scan with dr. web cure it to ensure that the files i back up are not ifected.Make sure, you re-scan them later, too.so just as i had anticipated, when i open the hp recovery console it tells me that NTRDL is missing. So now back to my first question, is there a way to do it without the cd?Not if you're getting that message...  ooooh boy. lol. what does that message mean?

Here is some info:

I have been trying to burn using both blank CD's and DVD's (from different companies).

Solve : Custom Desktop w/3rd Party Icons?

Answer» HELLO. I believe I've reached a dead end.

I'm attempting to customize a desktop. I'd like have the option to load various wallpaper, and have an icon set w/the positions remembered, with them. Simple enough, but here's the thing...

I've FOUND apps that do the above, with a glaring exception. The problem is my third party apps that are on the desktop, which make up the majority of what's there. All the apps I find effect only the SYSTEM apps, of which I use all of two - fairly useless in this case.

I'm actually building a system for a friend, and would like them to have multiple desktop options (at a click if possible), where the icons I've created sit nicely with the various wallpapers, both in style and position.

Are there no apps that can recall different themes/sets I create for third party app icons? Am I looking for something that simply doesn't exist? I'm at a loss and my Google fingers are falling off.

Thanks much for any info!

Besides, it's nor readable. It displays garbage. I know this happens, when you run wrong file.can you show me what the txt file should contain? The txt file I sent you is suppose to be an .arn file.

If you look in Autoruns folder, you see two almost identical files: autoruns.exe, and  autorunsc.exe.

I have given Eudora the address of the .pst file, but the Import didn't work.  Maybe the .pst file is not at C:\Documents and settings\xxxx\local settings\application data\microsoft\outlook\Does Eudora show Outlook as one of the sources from which it can import messages?  If not, what type files will it import?In Eudora, Files>Import asks me to "select the account I would like to import", & lists as OPTIONS Outlook Express (which is not installed), & Microsoft Outlook.  I states it will import mail, address book & personalities.  Choosing that imports no messages.

If I choose Advanced the options are the above 2 plus Netscape Messenger (also not installed).  This SCREEN also asks me to locate the .pst file, which I did, as shown in my original message.  This option also imported no messages, though there are a number of messages in Outlook.OK, forget this INQUIRY folks, I have now found where Eudora stored the messages after importing them.

This isn't a huge pressing Issue, but one i've been trying to figure out for AWHILE now:

Basically I have Ventrilo on a external hard-drive, and take my hard-drive to many places (using random computers); however, I have to re-type the vent contact INFO each and every time. (I have the actual vent soft-ware saved and installed to my external hardrive. I just have to double click the vent.exe and it runs) However it doesn't register that i've ever used it before, or the contact info. I was wondering where it was saving said info, and how do i get it so it can all be done off of my external?

RIGHT now i just have a word DOCUMENT on my external, that i have all my vent data on, so I atleast still have it.

any help would be appreciated

-Jon Snow

------------
"Only the one truth will prevail"I don't think what you want is possible. All the contact information is most likely stored somewhere in your computer's Application Data.Well, in your expert OPINION, what do you think is my best alternative.  Given the fact I want to continue to use vent, and use a External Hard-drive.

Is there a way to find where in the App Data it's getting saved to, so i can simply put it there each time (i'm fairly ignorant on how exactlyt this works)

Is what i'm doing currently the best I can do?I don't think it is possible.

She then installed Ultimate 2007, which will not work  either.This is a mess.
Ultimate keeps saying that I need msi or xml  files and Im not sure what to do next.

I am trying to remove outlook 2007  through add/remove and it starts and then says there
is an error and cant be removed.

Her OS is windows xp SP3.


Can anyone help me  with this?

Also, this woman received the Ultimate discs from Microsoft itself, 2 discs and they send her a Disc 1,
which is a dvd and disc 2,  which is a cd.

Now her dell only has a cd rom drive.So MS screwed up there.

I dont even know where to go with this.

I just need to know how to get rid of OL 2007, and then install Ultimate.
Thanks a bunch  people.

CindiUse Revo Uninstaller to remove the troublesome unwanted programs then reinstall the programs you want:  Revo UninstallerHi..thanks so much...this worked, removing outlook, that is.

Now I have these Office Ultimate files on my DESKTOP and I am unable to install them.

I think this woman may have downloaded the whole suite from microsoft itself, not sure if its corrupted,
and I dont think they are zip files. Any ideas on how I can get these things to install?

Keeps asking me for xml and msi files. Can I download these for free somewhere?

Thanks again!
Microsoft Outlook 2003 is part of Microsoft's Office Suite 2003.  Revo Uninstaller removed that part of the Office Suite of 2003.

Office 2007 is totally separate of Office 2003.  Office 2003 has to be uninstalled before Office 2007 can be installed....understand?

Once you uninstall Office 2003, you should be able to proceed with the installation of Ultimate 2007.  Use the discs she received to install the NEW product.  Of course, should you come across any errors during the install of Ultimate 2007, please...let us know, verbatim, what these errors are.

Also, can you please provide us with a screenshot of your desktop so we can look at these Office Ultimate files you are referring to...


Thank you...Hi..I totally understand. I removed both 2003 and 2007 of outlook.  When she had installed the 2007, she installed directly into the same folder as the 2003,actually,this is  what Revo stated in a prompt.

Here is http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/3394171913/





Hope I did this correctly.

Also,  as stated before....I believe this woman downloaded from MS, the ultimate suite.
She couldnt get it to go, so she requested the discs.  Now, she has an older dell with Compact disc only.
MS sent her two discs, Disc 1 is a dvd which wont play and the second is a cd.

I informed her of this and she just stated its ALREADY on the computer so it shouldnt be a problem.

So, Im lost on how to help her.

Thanks.



added note...I downloaded a trial version of Microsoft office from the MS website.  It downloaded fine, the file is

 X1230107.exe

I DOUBLE click on it to install  and nothing happens. Wont open at all.

Thanks.

another note..just ran sfc scannow, PROGRESSED fine, still am unable to open the downloaded program.Theresa...

You're missing my point.  Outlook is just a part of the Office Suite.  You have to uninstall and re-install the whole Office Suite...not just Outlook.  You're trying to replace a 2003 version with a 2007 version.

Uninstall the entire 2003 Office Suite...and then uninstall the 2007 Office Suite.

Then re-install the 2007 Office Suite.

Go into Add/Remove Programs and uninstall Microsoft Office.  If you encounter any errors during this process, use Revo Uninstaller to uninstall Microsoft Office.

Then use the discs she received in order to re-install her new product.  If she paid for this, she should have a product key.

Solve : A strange file?

Answer»

Good day all, I've come across a strange file on/not on my computer. 

I found an unfamiliar LINK doing a clean up of my WMP library. So I CLICKED on it and a song played. I clicked on it's properties, and it showed me a file name I can't explain :

mms://media.alldanzradio.com/choiceradiobb/bb/rr/Falls Apart.wma?channel=382

I can't find that file anywhere on the computer, neither can my computer find it.

When I paste the address into explorer address bar, it brings up WMP and starts playing that song. It plays even when I'm not connected to the internet, so it's living somewhere on my system.

What is it, where does it live etc?

I use Win xp pro sp3. My setup is not wireless.

Any help would be appreciated.

AinH
Same here.

You may want to have a look at this:
http://www.google.com.hk/search?hl=en&q=mms%3A%2F%2F&btnG=Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=

What it is, is a media file on an internet server.

Try going to Windows Media Player, Open URL, and paste that media URL.Hi CD, thanks for the reply
I've done a bit of reading about it too, thanks much to the link you put up.
 
Question: if I'm not connected to the internet, and my file search can't find the file on my computer, meaning it's not in my computer, how can this file play? In other words, if it's coming from outside my computer, ie internet, how does it WORK if I'm not connected?
What's more, I'd like to delete it from my computer, if it's there, but I can't find it. Makes me think what else is sitting in my computer that I can't see or find
AinHhow exactly are you disconnecting from the internet to test this?Ahaaaa ! Quote from: BC_Programmer on March 09, 2009, 09:43:57 AM

how exactly are you disconnecting from the internet to test this?
Under network connections I right click on the internet icon and disable it. After that, I have no internet connection and can't do a thing!
To re-establish my internet connection I right click on the icon and then Enable. Back into business!
Tne file is probably stored in the cache....I agree with Kpac. It would be stored on your computer somewhere. However, once I restarted, I can no longer play the file without internet connection.

UNPLUGGED my internet cable. I then tried it on another computer without internet, and it couldn't find the file.

Neat. Quote from: CARBON Dudeoxide on March 10, 2009, 03:57:16 AM

well... I was actually referring to the original poster  Ok, so if it's sitting in my cache, why can't my search function find it?
I didn't think of emptying my cache to get rid of it...   I'll do that tomorrow. thanks all Quote from: AinH on March 10, 2009, 03:19:58 PM
Ok, so if it's sitting in my cache, why can't my search function find it?

Because the folder the cache is in is called AppData, and is hidden.

Just delete the file from your WMP library, and then download and run ATF Cleaner.I think AinH wants to keep the song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQZcNzftyv4actually I want to get rid of it. Mainly because I don't know how it got there to start with and am a bit ticked that something comes in and hides itself so well. The song doesn't interest me anyway...
I've downloaded the link you put up Kpac, and ran it, so thanks for that.  The pesky song is gone along with it's secretive hiding place.
Thanks to all for your interest and helpHeh, all right. Good work!

Solve : yahoo invisible detector?

Answer»

hello
there are some site in internet that they can find your yahoo id status such invisible or offline or online
is there a way that these sites can not my yahoo id statuses?
how i can be invisible from these sites
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=yahoo+invisible++detector&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=
You can't. It uses what's called an API to CHECK whether a particular user is online or not, and is available to everyone.

If you don't want to be seen online, then just don't sign in.how do these sites WORK
how they can check yahoo statuses?
Like I said, it's an API.

Wikipedia

More info

Even moreSome of them used to work by forcing/initiating a conversation CONNECTION with you, if the connection was made, it would immediately terminate it and then it would report a online status.

However if you set your account so only those in your contact list can SEE your online status, it will ALWAYS return offline.
