But although I found the correct tab for the sounds it wouldn't let me make any adjustments. Can anything be done about this one as well? I'm wondering about the fact that "they refused to let me contact them".
I've contacted them several times about many different topics, and they've never refused to talk to me. I'd check to see if this playlist is hidden. There are some DOS-emulators that you might be able to find that will allow you to use basic DOS-based applications, but in general, you're out of luck.
Does it give you an error message, or simply revert back to the old settings? Good tip!!! I swear I learn something new every day Thanks for that tip.
I managed the solve the problem with the sounds. For some reason the option I wanted was there when I went back to it the next day. I think my brain must have been addled by the other problems when I couldn't find it. Regarding media player, I can get the list of tracks easily enough, but what I can't do is specify the order in which they play, and more importantly I can't tell it to automatically play the CD again when it reaches the end.
I have to start it up again manually. Those options were perfectly straightforward on older versions of media player. I downloaded the latest media player from Microsoft only to find there was no real difference from the one I already had. I might try running an older version from a previous version of Windows. I can't understand why they've made it worse, but it certainly isn't the first time they've done that. Regarding Microsoft wanting to be inaccessible - I've managed to contact them in the past, but this time they seemed to have gone to great lengths to make sure they weren't available.
My question was very simple I needed a DOS path to some files that Windows wouldn't give me access to and which were clogging up my hard drive , and they went to more effort refusing to help than it would have taken to provide the DOS path. On that occasion I got my anti-virus software to display the path that Windows wouldn't show, and solved the problem that way. I can't say I was very impressed, though. I recorded a piece of music and burned it to a CD. Every note is played by me, mixed and mastered by me.
No-one else has had anything to do with this CD at any point. Editing the information on the Library tab doesn't make any difference. Of course I don't need to be told by Media Player what the piece is and who plays it, but it's still very annoying. And who the hell is this DJ Farad anyway? Microsoft really are being absolute bastards.
I tried their technical support again. This time I managed to get as far as inputting my product code, and they refused to provide any help, saying I should contact my supplier - like Acer are likely to be able to help with a Windows Media Player problem. Media Player has now decided my piece of music is by Cat Stevens. I took the file off the CD and burned it onto a completely new one, which worked for a day. What concerns me is that if I make copies of my own music and distribute it, the CDs may have someone else's details on simply because Windows keeps adding this wrong information automatically.
Good idea! Thank you very much. Although I can still run my word processor I can no longer print from it because - guess what, could it be a Microsoft-generated problem? Right again - Windows refuses to run the printer files. This question has already been solved! The person who asked this question has marked it as solved. Solved questions live forever in our knowledge base where they go on to help others facing the same issues for years to come.

I also went to my c: drive and changed the permissions to include "User", "Administrator", and "System" for "Full control". I rebooted the machine and then was able to run Windows activation. Power on the PC and press F8 right before Windows begins to load.
Select "Safe mode with command prompt". Now click on "Start" and in the "Run" box type "Rundll Press Enter. This will re-set activation to 30 days. Once more, click on "Start" then go to the "Run" box and type in "Regedit".
Make sure that in Regedit you are highlighting "My Computer" at the very top. Now go up to "Edit" then "Find" and type in "wpaevents" then press Enter. Right click on the "wpaevents" folder and go down to "Permissions".
Highlight "User" and place a check mark in the box labeled "full control". Click "Apply" and exit regedit. Now double click "My Computer". Right click the C: drive and go down to "Properties". Now click on the "Security" tab and modify "User", "Administrator", and "System" so that they all have "Full control".
Click "Apply" and reboot the PC. This How-to is intended to assist in recovering a PC from a faulty repair install. I don't condone piracy, but I also don't believe in locking a user from their data with faulty control mechanisms. I was so hopeful, because this post added the permissions steps, but when I do as described, the login after saying "yes" to activation just shows the wallpaper forever.
When I logged-on this next time, the expected Windows Activation screen greeted me and I was able to successfully activate! I used this method, and still get the wallpaper screen forever. I am working to recover an old computer which has had it's ethernet controller fail, as well as the internal wi-fi. I have attached a USB wi-fi adapter, and run the installation software in safemode. When I reboot, I still get the "This copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on.
Do you want to activate Windows now? Thanks, needed this today.
