WMP 11 Media Sharing Issue
by Guest jedimasta- 0 replies
- 123 views
So I've Googled my eyes out looking for some sort of solution to this problem. I've got an Xbox 360 and setup a laptop to do media sharing to it using Media Player 11. Unfortunately, the lappy tanked, so I've moved my external media drive to my desktop system and installed WMP11. After installing though, the very first thing I go to do is share the library so the Xbox can pick it up. Problem is, it won't let me. I click the Library drop down menu and choose media sharing and immediately get the following message: "You are logged on with a user account that does not have sufficient permissions to turn on media sharing" I keep thinking 'I beg to differ', sin…

What Limit Does Microsoft Have With Windows Activation?
by Guest RRTRACKS via WindowsKB.com- 0 replies
- 414 views
I am having problems transferring the partitions of my current set of disc drives onto a replacement set of drives. Using a trail and error method I would like to experiment with different boot partitions on three disk drives. One of these is my current drive and the other two will eventually be my replacement drives. Obviously only one of the two new drives will end up holding the boot partition. Each time Windows is booted from a different drive the activation process with a three day grace period kicks in. The grace period on all three of my drives has already been used. The question I would like to have answered is: If Windows is moved several times between…

Explorer not displaying MP3 art work
by Guest Ian- 0 replies
- 317 views
I've recently noticed that the detail section in Explorer does not always display art work against song. If I select an album maybe 20% have the correct picture and the rest have the standard MP3 picture. WMP11 has all of the pictures correct and the media information has been updated. Any ideas?

Underscored text in Command Prompt?
by Guest Swifty- 0 replies
- 132 views
Is there any way to output underscored text in the standard Command Prompt window? I don't want to install ANSII drivers, as I may ship my program to people without such drivers. An alternative would be to use overstrike characters (which may, or may not be ¯) on the following line, but I suspect that may also involve ANSII drivers. I've found the character at x'EE' which is close; it's a "-" but at the top of its box. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk

I having a problem with getting WindowsXP to play a certain wav file. When I goto "sounds and audio devices" and bring up the "properties" box then goto "sounds" I try to get "start Windows" to play a wav file with the opening theme from "Star Trek Next Generation" It loads and plays when I test it with the "play" button, but when I shut down windows and re-open it, the wav only plays for like 4 notes then stops...Windows goes on to load up without any problems. When I set "start Windows" with another wav file, like the them from the "orignal Star Trek" it works fine...plays all the way.
