With XP I liked to open more than one media player at a time. In Vista I
can't find a way.
I like to listen to our local NPR radio station online while working with
other media or video files at the same time.

I've noticed a number of "TV Tuner Not Found" issues on this board after
installing Vista. I have a Sony VGC RA 842G Media Center Edition with an
NVIDIA GeForce 6600 (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM) card. I updated the TV
Tuner drivers library (for Vista) from Sony website (3 ...

Whenever I play anything in media player from MP3s to DVDs, it's really
choppy, even if media player is the only thing running.  I may not have a
supercomputer, but I'm pretty confident that Vista x64 + playing music can't
be more demanding than recent games like Half-Life 2, etc ...

My video thumbnails for mpeg, WMV & AVI (Windows Media Player) files in Vista
have suddenly disapeared. They showed up as thumbnails before. Now I can only
see icons. No problems with thumbnails for pictures. Help needed!

I just installed a fresh copy of Windows Vista Premium on my Dell
laptop...only had it a few days...didn't upgrade existing XP...installed
fresh/clean. I discovered Windows DVD Maker and started playing around with
it. It's very basic, but really slick for quick DVD creation. I ...

hello every body,
When running iTunes, if I click on the "music" folder, this actually crashes
Vista.
The crash is not of the application (iTunes) but of the operating system.

conditions and the next page says please wait and then it dissapears and
nothing happens any ideas? Also i cannot play any of the videos i transfered
from my old xp os as it says i don't have permission ...

For some strange reason windows media player running in vista refuses to
detect any media within my user folders (music, video, pictures).  All of
those folders are specifically marked as monitored folders, but there is no
media in my library.  I backed up all this media on a ...

With Vista I am hoping to use the Photogallery and Media Center tools rather
than the miscellaneous software  products that came with the devices used in
XP..
Photogallery for example seems to point to the following folder.

Suddenly my icons (large) under "view" "large icons" no longer display the
actual pictures in the folder as small icons instead it just display some JPG
logo and no pictures.
What happened?  How can I get back to it showing the actual pictures in the

Hello Windows Photo Gallery does not see any of my pictures.
I have pictures in a folder called pictures under the admin
account. I have lots of pictures on my c: drive but neither this
program nor Picasa can locate them and import them.

i don't know if this was mentioned earlier but i'm not able to get my 5.1
sound working... whatever i do i just have 2 speakers (and subwoofer)
working.
i have Realtek AC'97 Audio integrated on my motherboard and it all worked

When I come to Burn my DVD I get the message "not enough storage is
available to complete this operation" almost straight away.
I've changed the options for the temporary file to a volume with 26GB free
and tried also chopping down to one clip in Movie Maker but to no avail.

When playing a DVD in Windows Media Center in fullscreen mode, if I turn on
the subtitles for the DVD, they are made transparent.  Unfortunately, they
tend to be too transparent and blend in with the DVD picture, making them
hard (and sometimes impossible) to read.  Is there any ...
