Intermittent "necessary files not installed or are corrupt" error when trying to play .dvr-ms files
by Guest Bruce Phillips- 0 replies
- 184 views
I get this error occasionally when trying to play recorded TV files (dvr-ms) in VMC, and the suggested restarting/rebooting doesn't help. My only recourse is to restore a disc image made when things were working correctly. I mainly use TheaterTek or ZoomPlayer for multimedia files and sometimes need to use GraphEdit to analyze/create playback graphs. Is it possible that this experimentation with filters/renderers, etc. (which sometimes causes GraphEdit to crash) corrupts the default graph that Vista uses? Is there any way to troubleshoot this? VMC error messages are so vague, it's hard to tell exactly what is going on (Event Viewer, as far as I can tell, …

Enable Offline: which folder gets updated first.
by Guest ykffc- 0 replies
- 88 views
If a folder in the fileserver \\serername\aaa is made available offline. If the server is offline, I assume the user can continue to write to his/her offline cache copy. What if the server is running and availabe? By by opening a file (an Excel file, for example) and if the user makes changes to the file, will the system update the Client copy or the copy in the network drive first ? Although I know eventually the two copies would be the same after synchroniztation, but can we control whether to update the client copy or the server copy when the server is online?

"Could not get shell folder ID list" Java exception
by Guest JeffG- 0 replies
- 126 views
I am developing a Java application on a Vista Home Premium system. Suddenly, whenever I click on a browse button which creates a File Open Dialog (JFileChooser), I get an exception "Could not get shell folder ID list". This has always worked before and I have changed nothing that could cause this problem. The program runs correctly using the same jar file on my laptop, also running Vista Home Premium. I am convinced this is a Vista-related problem. Another weird thing is that when I start Windows Explorer, it starts up in C:\Windows\System32 which it never did before. Could these two things be related? Could you please explain what the original exceptio…

monitor unable to go to sleep
by Guest David- 0 replies

I am trying to enable the monitor to turn off. It's a new computer and when I first had it it would do it fine. I did have some trouble with automatic updates, it got stuck trying to download one of them and kept asking to download again and again. Got it sorted with a Microsoft tech guy who suggested download and running winupsecureWinXP.bat. This may have nothing at all to do with anything but I thought it might be worth mentioning. My monitors are two Philips LCD. The monitors will go off and stay off for about one or two seconds then come back on again. If I reboot and go to the welcome screen and leave things, then the monitors will switch off as they shoul…

Hi, I have written window's service. I neeeded to run external application from this, but I read that in noninteractive apps this will not be possible.

hi, All: I'm using Windows Server 2003 R2, patched with the latest SP2. But I'm meeting problems with the option of numproc=N in boot.ini, after specifying the option, Windows cannot provide the large page support in running applications. If I don't specify the option, I can use large page successfully. (I have enabled my account in the local security policy by assigning the my accout in "lock pages in memory".) Is it expected or problems of current Windows Server 2003 R2? It exists in SP1. Would some one shine some lights on this issue? Thanks. -- Chen

Console input from keyboard is terribly SLOW
by Guest vanyatka- 0 replies
- 102 views
Hi, When I work in a console window (Run: cmd), the keyboard input is sluggish, far slower then what I have in normal graphical windows. This is especially noticed when you press and hold the key e.g. the arrow key. In console it is about 3-4 symbols in a second, whereas in other windows it's no less then 20 (the shortest delay, the fastest repeat). The problem also spreads out to other console programs, like FAR Manager. It becomes hardly usable at all, you cannot move the highlight of files comfortable enough. Can anyone suggest possible solution? Thanks,
