IDVD burned disc will not run on Windows Media Player

I've just started using iDVD for my portfolio of images that I want to leave with employers at interviews. I thought iDVD would be great. I just burned a sample disc and it played fine on my mac (photos are a little fuzzy) but when I play the DVD on Windows it just says that it's an "unknown DVD."
HELP. I want to make a DVD of slideshows that can be played on any computer or DVD player. How can I do this?

Thanks Sue-
I'm still new to finding ways to be Mac and Windows compatible. (I've been using Mac since the Apple IIc came out in the late '80's and have only been using Windows for a few years at the office.) I have Parallels running on my Mac Book Pro which has a Superdrive. I would think that the Windows side in Parallels would be able to access the Superdrive as a DVD. Maybe not. I should look into this. Meanwhile I will look over the link that you suggested, as I only have about 60 slides to onto a disc. Maybe a CD would work.

Video from Iphone will not open in windows media player

I was able to import videos from my iphone 5c into windows vista, but the will not play in windows media player.
How can I play the video?

Rodney-- you're unclear what exactly you did. If you encoded a dvd, your computer's dvd player SHOULD play it. Unless your pc doesn't HAVE a dvd player.
If you burned a data dvd of your fcp project, unless you have quicktime on your pc, you won't be able to play it.
Investigate flip4mac, which allows you to export wmv files.

My office professional will not run with windows 8.1

my office professional will not run with windows 8.1 It ran fine on 7 and 8 but not 8.1

Microsoft Windows 8.1 officially supports all currently supported Microsoft Office versions including Office 2013 / 2010 / 2007 / 2003 , and may be even earlier versions unofficially. I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus on my Windows 8.1 and it runs fine with no issues. Could you try what has already been suggested by others including Big_Dave and reinstall Microsoft Office with complete reboot/restart between uninstall/new installation <restart, not shut down and start over>. If this doesn't work, please post again if installation went fine, what exactly is the error code (if any), what is the problem exactly, any screenshots ?

E3000 Media Server not seen by Windows Media Player (v 12.0) on Win 7

I've enabled the Media Server on my E3000 router. My PS3 can see the server and play media from it by my PCs can't!
I'm using Windows Media Player v 12.0 on Windows 7 and some older version on Windows XP and it's my understanding that the Media Server should appear under the "Other Libraries" section but it does not.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bug in the E3000 firmware (I have the latest as of this date) or is the Media Server simply not compatible with Windows Media Player?
If it's an incompatibility issue, can someone please point me to a compatible media player for Windows 7?
I did read a post about a firmware upgrade on the 4200 that broke the media player, but I don't know if such a problem exists for the E3000.
Thank you,
Martin.

This is what you can try in getting the Computer to see the media server on the E3000:
(Obviously make sure you have the media server enabled on the router and at least one folder shared....and make sure you have scanned the folder(s))
1) Turn your computer on.
2) Disconnect your external usb drive.
3) Pull the power on the E3000.
4) Connect the external usb drive.
5) Plug the power back into the E3000.
Then see if that works or not.
If the issue still persist then here is the link which may help you: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01832417&tmp_track_link=ot_recdoc/c00859236/en_...

ITunes 10 will not run on Windows 7, 64 bit

I have upgraded to itunes 10 and now it will not run. In task manager the process is running but no programme. i uninstalled all itunes, quick step, bonjour and apple folders. Then tried a clean instal of itunes 10. Still didn't work. Uninstalled again and reloaded v 9.2 and it works. Tried disabling bonjour and ran the instal of 10 again and it still doesn't work. This is becoming a major pain as I am stuck on v9.2.

Try installing the version 10 again so we can check on a few other characteristics of the problem, seeoh.
(1) Does your QuickTime Player launch, or do you get an error message of some kind when you try to launch that?
(2) Try (by way of experiment) disabling the BonJour Service.
In your Start Menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Maximise the window to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the BonJour Service and select "Properties". In the "General" tab, set Start-up type to "Disabled".
Restart the PC, and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?

BB Desktop Software 6.1 will not run on Windows 7 64-Bit

I wrote to the forum of my problem, and a nice person here told me that I may be having the same problem as others and to repost my question to this link
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/BB-Desktop-Software-6-1-will-not-run-...
I went there and cannot find a button to tick to post to that page, so I went one back and posted my problem in hopes of finding help. BB4matt even told me what my laptop is. A Genuine Windows 7 home Premium 64 bit Operating System, and that Desktop 6.1 will not run on this system, to copy my problen to the above link, (which I couldn't figure out how to do) or start a new one under the heading I used, that I MIGHT attract a guru of sorts, BB Tech Advisor, ViciousFerret. MR FERRET, please help!
Thank you all so much in advance once again! (Below is my original plea for help.)

Hi.
I have read in these forums and am still lost. I know my answer should be in hre somewhere, but if it is I am unable to understand it, so be patient as I may be reasking an already answered question.
I try to be a good lil girl and follow forum rules, but am lost here.
I bought a new laptop, a Dell 17R It runs Win 7 I think. Lots of ROM/RAM. I dowloaded the desktop program from bb dot com and cannot get it to work. First it asked me to trouble shoot, and reconfigured the DT prog for Win XP.
It then acknowledged my Torch and dld my photos. Then it decided I didn't have space and undid whatever it did.
NOW I cannot get the program, once it opens to recognise my phone at all! ACK!!
I need someone who understands this gobbltygook to explain to me what to do. I need to unload my photos, as I use my phone to take pix more than I would have thought.
I am a photog, and it's better than my first digital this Torch 9800 is, and video quality, OMG, but the vids are too big to upload from the phone..........(IDK why cuz it did at Christmas?)
Anyway, please help me here, as I can use a computer, e-mail, Facebook, Picassa, other than that, IDK too much about them. (It took my YEARS to spring for this laptop)
Thank you in advance for your patience.

I have the same issue. It gets to a desktop manager picture and just freezes.

Lightroon CC upgrade will not run on windows 8.1

Ran Adobe Creative Cloud updates today, all updates installed and are working OK except for Lightroom, it will not run when opened, no error messages appear and windows trouble shooter reports it as lightroom is incompatible. I have done a complete manual uninstall, reinstalled and the problem still exists. Does anyone have the same problem or a possible fix

Hi
After installing lightroom CC you must sign out and oce again sign in from the creative cloud.
Do this by:

PSE 5 will not run in Windows 7?

Hi,
I recently upgraded from Windows Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit - I reinstalled PSE 5 but now it will not run.
I get the following errors:
- Could not load the FastCore Routines module because the file could not be found.
- Could not load the MMXCore Routines module because the file could not be found.
- Could not load the Multiprocessor Support module because the file could not be found.
- Could not initialize Photoshop Elements because the file could not be found.
- The action you have requested could not be completed because the application is not responding. It may still be loading or waiting for a response from you.
I searched for the errors on the forums and found the common responses that the 5.0.2 update needed to be installed. I installed the update but it hasn't fixed the problem.
I also saw that many people had managed to run it using compatibility mode - I have tried running it in Windows Vista/SP1/SP2, Windows XP etc but nothing likes it.
Can anybody please help? I had absolutely no problems with this software before and I'm half tempted to buy PSE 10 (which I can't afford to do) just to save me the hassle.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Laura,
Since you've uninstalled and re-installed PSE5, we have to assume that those files are in the correct location. If someone here has PSE5 installed, it would be nice if they can confirm that.
The next thing to try is disabling Data Execution Prevention (DEP) for the editor:
Use Start...Control Panel...System.
On the left, select "System Protection".
Select the "Advanced" tab.
Click the "Settings" button in the "Performance" section.
Click on the "Data Execution Prevention" tab.
Use the bottom radio button ("Turn on DEP...except those I select").
Click the "Add" button, then browse to the
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 5\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
file.
Make sure that the editor's file has a check in its box, and do "OK" to back out of all the dialog boxes.
Reboot.

After a change...DVDSP disc will not run in PS2

I am having a weird issue with a DVD project that I am working on. I usually test each DVD that I burn on my Playstation 2. The PS2 DVD player can be kind of finicky at times, therefore I think it's a good barometer to test how well it will play in specific DVD players.
Anyway, I was burned over 30 discs of a project and they played fine on my PS2, however I had to make one tiny change to to one of the button titles in a menu. Suddenly the discs will not play in my PS2. Keep in mind that I have been using the same DVD media to burn, and that the PS2 has no problem reading other projects that I have burned.
The odd thing is that the disc will still play in nearly every other DVD player and nearly every computer, with the exception of one PC laptop. I am planning to distribute this project and I am concerned that the disc won't play in particular players such as a PS2.
If anyone can help please let me know...Thanks

Hi Mac,
Yes the playstation can be a pain at times and it's spec implementation can be very intolerant at times. We have Sony as one of our clients and being PS2 and PS3 friendly is of major importance to us as it often tends to be the DVD which goes with the Game ...... Fortunately for us we have the Sony emulators here.
Getting on to your problem, firstly does the old project still work?
And secondly, was the button in the first menu and what was the change?
My first thought would be to recreate that button.
Cheers

ITunes+ Songs not playing in Windows Media Player 11

So I got a new PC. On the previous PC i had been using windows Media player and playing songs purchased in iTunes+ in WMP.
So I transferred all my songs to an external HD. Then on my new PC I pointed the folder in WMP to the external HD and it imported all my music, except for my iTunes+ songs.
I have also purchased 2 new iTunes+ songs and they will not import into WMP or play in WMP.
What do I need to do?

Is it possible the problem is that on the previous pc I was running Windows 7 and on the new PC I'm running Vista Premium?

Why do burnt tracks not show in Windows Media Player?

Just managed to get CD burn to work on Vista (see below)
But the list of tracks does not display if I play the burnt CD under Windoes media Player.
What is going on - I have enabled "write CD text"
For some reason iTunes is able to show artist/title for each track
Just to confirm: iTunes under Vista only works after I loaded updated GEAR software from http://disc-tools.com/download/sptdbeta

Hi,
If you're using Windows 7, it may be worth trying to reset Windows Media Player as follows.
Click the Start Menu and select Control Panel. Open Programs and Features, Click 'Turn Windows features on or off', open up Media Features and untick Windows Media Player. Click Yes then OK and then restart the notebook.
When Windows has restarted, click the Start Menu and select Control Panel. Open Programs and Features, Click 'Turn Windows features on or off', open up Media Features and tick Windows Media Player. Click Yes then OK and when WMP has finished installing, restart the notebook again.
Launch WMP and go through the initial set-up, then check if the tracks now play Ok.
Regards,
DP-K
