If you have new Windows Media Player with playlist opened with mp3's and if you have mp3 with ID3 (v1 or v2) like this: Author: Author and Title: Title, the author won't be shown!!! but, if you have id3 saved like this: Author: Author and Title: Author + Title, the author will be shown... that means just one thing.. why the heck shows new WMP only the Title from songs in playlists and not also the Author??? any clues how to fix this problem? -thanks,

i have two computers in home network, crossover cable, windows xp pro (+sp1) on both. network created with wizzard. everything looks perfect... BUT... computerA can access computerB shared folders! computerB cannot access computerA shared folders! both computers see all shared folders in My network places! when computerB tries to access computerA folders, it just locks up! the clock cursor appears and that's it! my network places doesn't respond anymore! i runned networ wizzard for 100times on both computers but without success!!! any help please?! :'(

i just figured out, B CAN access A, but it takes loooooooong time to get in shared folder... what's the problem then?

well,... * shares seted properly (this whole thing worked before!) * users rights seted properly on both computers! * firewall disabled everywhere! * same services runing properly on both machines!

this problem is a little bit strange though :| 2computers in network (lan) have shared internet connection (compA has modem and is sharing connection), compB wants to connect to internet. i had an icon for shared internet connection on ComputerB in network connections (control panel), but have accidently deleted it!!! now, even if i create a new shared connection on computer A it won't appear on computer B!!! if computer A goes on internet, computer B can use internet too!!! please help me retrieve that icon or settings in network connections. i need it for going online from computerB (don't want to connect/disturb on A to use internet on thanks all

hi there, i bought myself a new computer: motherboard is gigabyte with KT400 and other fancy stuff. i also have hdd WD 120gb 7200rpm ata100. when turning on the computer, it checks for some ata133 stuff and it tells nothing was found. that's okay,... but when i try to install windows xp it loads the controllers (asks me also for installing raid or scsi), then.. when it say that he wants to go into windows (installation) blue screen appears and it says that i should check hard drive for viruses or hard drive if i have any new disks. can someone tell me what's wrong because i don't have a clue here! i think some jumpers or bios settings arent good. in bios i also used that function to make all settings by default/safe configuraion, but it doesn't help please please help me with this, thanks Gregor

no pio mode anywhere :'( ideas? is there any trouble with HDD or jumpers or something?*

WHAT TO DO? then i go to google and type virtual machine windows xp and thank god the sun.com offers Java Virtual Machine for Windows XP for free. i download it, run it and guess what.. it doesn't work! where the java applets should work the java vm from sun closes all of my IE windows. can someone help me with this problem since i don't have a clue what to do. i cannot use even internet banking because i don't have support for java on windows xp. how is this possible? what to install and where to get it??? thanks for you answers guys

i have nero 5.5.8.0. and clonecd 4.0.0.1 installed on my computer. recently i bought a new cd-burner Teac CD-RW 40xburn speed (burn-proof, cd-text,...). when i want to compile a new cd in nero and grab the files from my HD everything looks okay (3.44 minutes for 80minutes CD), but when i want to create a new cd with files from another cd-rom, my computer suddenly restarts. the same thing happens in clonecd, when i want to copy a cd,... it just restarts. any ideas why does this happen? please help.. my specifications: - proc: duron @ 700mhz - cd-rw: teac 40x - cd: sony 52x - sys: win xp thanks

well.. this cd-rw alone has 8mb of memory. my machine has 512mb,.. so,.. i don't know.. but.. hey.. now it works.. how? i installed via 4in1 app and now everything works perfect!!! thanks all!

well.. i have slot settings like this: - primary master: hdd1 - maxtor 40gb, - primary slave: hdd2 - ibm 10gb, - secondary master: cd-rw teac 40x - secondary slave: cd-rom sony in ide ata/atapi controllers (advanced...) i checked for secondary ide channels "dma if available" ----- someone told me that isn't possible to have a cd-rom 52x and the cd-burner 40x on the same slot (secondary).. could this be the reason?

i have winxp and i saw that ppl are using two fonts for displaying texts (prop->advanced blah) and they change font to that types. why i cant? they are true type??? there is none of that two fonts in my selection box in display properties. hlp

after my cd-rom got old,.. i bought me another one. now it is sony. but hey... 1. i have also cd-rw in my computer 2. i took my old cd-rom out,... put back new one now the sistem changed my drive letters before: cd-rw - f: cd - g: now: cd-rw - g: cd - f: now everytime i put some cd in my new cd-rom i get this notice: Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert win xp cd now... then i insert winxp cd and what happens? well.. it just pops out that window with "what du you want to do..."? Now you tell me,.. what do????? what's the problem?

nothing works... :'( thanks for help anyways... any other ideas?

Hello, after i noticed dets 23.12 on winupdate page and downloaded them a hell is happening to my computer. you know that after dl-ing from winupdate, the drivers autoinstalls. but then i got the error: "An error occurred during the installation of the device". i thought oh hell, not so important anyways. next time i turned on my computer i was on 800x600. i checked the device manager and see the red cross over my display card. then i tried: - roll back - uninstall - reinstall... and everytime i want to install any version of detonators (21.81, 23.11, 27.20), but none of them worked. everytime i get that error: "An error occurred during the installation of the device The system cannot find the file specified". i also tried to delete some things in register (regedit), i also tried to start windows in safe mode and there reinstall/uninstall/roll back.. but nothing worked. If anyone knows what is the problem, please tell me. I want new drivers on my computer. Thank you very much and best regards to all,
