windows mobile device center does not automatically install
by Guest Dave Williamson2- 0 replies
- 441 views
We have seen more Windows 7 SP1 (maybe RTM, still investigating) in the corporate environment do the bong bong when the first USB attached device is attached to the machine but Windows Mobile Device Center is never triggered to install. We end up having to download the Windows Mobile Device Center installer and installing. I understand that a standard user does not have sufficient rights to allow WMDC to be triggered and installed, although I don't see why it still can't be triggered and an elevated prompt given to allow the install however, that is a different issue from what I'd like to understand. In the same scenario where a local administrator is logged in the W…

Hi everyone...hope someone can help.. Some time ago had same problem with SP3 RC2. Spent few hours trying to do it, deinstalled half of the programs that could have been causing this like: Daemon Tools, Hide Folders XP, Ideazone Z Engine, Nod32, all the anti spyware stuff, etc... Tried intstalling from safe mode. too. Nothing worked in the end and I slowly destroyed my OS, had to reinstall. Gave up hoping the final SP3 will take care of it. Today I tried to install Final RTM SP3 on 100% working system of win XP Pro SP2 with all the current updates installed. Same as in previous, above experience everything goes fine untill instalation tries to copy file ispcnerr.ht…

- 149 views
A solution that worked for my Dell Inspiron 6400 XP professional SP 3. I discovered (by pure inspiration !!!) that when pressing the Dell Media Direct button (instead of pressing the "power" button !!) I could boot and actually see all the folders of my laptop [those containing media files (photos, videos) I could even play them]. After browsing the folders containing media files (photos, movies) I clicked "exit" and my laptop powered off. After that I pressed the "power" button and my laptop booted normally. I am not sure but it may be that the BSOD Unmountable Boot Volume error appeared after I installed the Slim Cleaner application. After I was able to boot aga…
