Equium A60 - CD Burning - WMP has encountered a problem

When trying to burn cd the message "Windows media player has encountered a problem etc" appears
I have tried about 15 brands of blank discs. Some will work ok for a while then suddenly they are no good.
I have just tried using a second external dvd/cd drive and this seems to work ok.
What am I doing wrong, is there a setting for the multi driver that I have missed?

Having taken the A60 back to PC World and explained the problem - was told they would have to reformat the hard drive and test the machine??? - strange. Left the machine for over a week to get the problem fixed and surprise - "Oh we could not find a fault!"
Tried burning loads of CD's and they worked every time I am told. Even more strange! I don't have any music stored on the Laptop it's all on an external hard drive so what have you burnt?? - I am not sure was the reply.

    Please check juans suggestion:
    cfmain.exe - This is a component of Toshiba Network Device. Toshiba Network Device is Toshiba's network device switcher. To initiate, this application requires a Toshiba ACPI Common Module and Wireless HotKey.
    Well, because of this description I would recommend to reinstall the common modules and the Wireless hotkey utility

    You could simply try reinstalling the Config free utility.
    Remove this tool, run an registry clean software like CCleaner, reboot the notebook and install the ConfigFree again.

  • Audigy 2 value. Creative smart recorder has encountered a problem and needs to clo

    At last I installed the audigy 2v software but I get this error when I try to open creative smart recorder."Creative smart recorder has encountered a problem and needs to close." My mic functions but my speakers don't. So I have switched to my on board card now. I am using Windows Xp, service pack 2. Everything functioned perfectly until I got the last updates using autoupdate. Any suggestions?

    Thanks PeeBee! For some reason WMP burned those songs as write-protected (although at some point in the past I had turned it off). I reburned those songs and they uploaded just fine. Now if only I can figure out this video thing. Thnaks again. - Chris

  • "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" - while importing

    While importing a CD i get an error message halfway through and the burning stops. The windows message is: "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close".
    I have tried to repair:
    1. remove Quicktime and repair itunes.
    2. updated windows, itunes, quicktime, updater.
    3. updated my dvd/cd driver.
    4. deleted all forms of itunes and quicktime and reinstalled.
    5. deselcted "use error correction" under preferences, advanced, importing.
    It is not the burner as Windows Media imports the cd just fine.
    Please help. It drives me crazy. ty.

    hi Jonathan!
    This is only a temp solution...
    there are a couple of ways of making this change semi-permanent (if the fix works for you). you would need to download and install a utility that starts up itunes with a single processor affinity set.
    Otto discusses two in this thread (Runfirst, in the first post in the thread, and imagecfg in one of the last posts in the thread):
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=826742&ft=y&#826742
    (although Otto is talking about a podcast crash in that thread, the same underlying cause of that crash also causes the importing crash.)

  • Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver

    I rummaged around in here looking at opengl topics and others associated with the above error, but I'm not seeing what I'm encountering (or I am and I don't recognize it!).....
    I bought CS4 a week or so ago, and installed it on a system running XP32 with service pack 3, 4GB of ram withe the /3GB switch set, nVidia 8600 GT card (which according to the list is supported), and multiple spindles for images, scratch, applications, and so on. I found other topics earlier so I downloaded the most recent drivers for my video card.
    I'm not crashing and burning, but I'm getting some messages...
    I opened an image, and while working on it I wanted to do a transform/warp. I got the message that Photoshop couldn't perform the operation because there wasn't enough memory. It didn't crash but I had to shut down CS4 and restart it to do the warp.
    Most recently I opened a couple images for a panorama, and while doing the merge I got the message that "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled gpu enhancements." It tells me to check for the latest drivers - I've ALREADY got the lastest drivers. Again, no crash, just the warning. It completed the panorama.
    There have been a couple other occurrences of messages of this type, so I'm curious if there's some set of preferences or system settting I need to adjust to optimize things? I've alrady adjusted the nVidia settings because I also run Lightroom and they're having problems too.
    I've read the tech notes for the video and such and didn't find any set of optimizations there so is there a set of adjustments beyond the preferences that needs to be adjusted to improve memory and video performance? And if so, can someone point me to them.

    As I understand it (suspect at best) XP32 can address 4 gig of memory. the /3gb switch lets the applications get at 3 gig of that. If my video card takes the first 256MB, and XP is guaranteed the other 750 of the 1st gig, and in the CS4 performance preferences I should be giving it from 1462 - 1895 MB (I've given it around 1890), that leaves me with another gig or so... Is that limited to applications or can XP use it? In any case, I'm not crashing, I just get the message every so often about being out of memory. I don't recall ever seeing this with CS3, but new version, new oddities...

  • ITunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are

    I've had it with these guys!
    I recently upgraded to itunes 6, and have had awsome problems ever since. First it stopped my pc from booting up completely, which I had to start in Safe in order to quick restore. Then everything would freeze when I tried to burn a cd, then it wouldn't recognise my burner.
    Now I am unable to uninstall either itunes or the ipod software (uninstall shield pops up for a few seconds then just disappears).
    If I quick restore to two months ago, itunes says it is missing files and needs to be reinstalled.
    Now, when I reinstall, it goes through the whole process, and then teels me that itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.
    I'm really at a loss what to do, and my daughter is going to kill me because we can no longer access her music...
    I'd like to somehow uninstall all itunes and ipod software, and presumably reinstall everything from the ipod cd...any suggestions?.....please?

    Okay, somehow I fixed it by disabling my Norton, uninstalling, then reinstalling itunes 6. And I can burn cds now. Go figure.

  • ITunes installer has encountered a problem. Windows xp 32 bit

    I burned iTunessetup to a cd and now it tells me that iTunes installer has encountered a problem. I don't have Internet. How do I solve this? Is it the iTunes? Or my pc? It's a windows xp pro 32 bit Service pack 3. Is there something I can do???

    Are you installing AIR installer or running Installer. If your running it make sure you click on the AIR Install package file, not just using installer. Im not really sure what you can do.

  • Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. (ver 1.4.1)

    I completed a search for this problem here and other forums, and found very useful information, however, I still need help. My laptop is an HP Pavillion dv1000, Intel Centrino, Windows XP, 1.24G of RAM; Camera is a Canon 5D, shooting JPEG only.
    After a couple of weeks enjoying a vacation in the Caribbean, it was time to load all the new pics in the computer. I removed the card from my camera and using windows explorer, downloaded all pics in MyPictures folder. I created a new folder for this trip, and while I was there, I decided to reorganize several folders from previous trips. I renamed and moved folders around, deleted pictures, etc. (I believe that all the changes that I made created my problem.)
    Once I finished all the changes with my folders, I launched Lightroom (ver 1.4.1) with the idea of synchronizing the folders and start working on my new pictures. After apx 8 seconds, I got the message: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    After a google search, I found a lot of potential answers to my problem, including this one, which I tried:
    "It might also be worth trying a temporary test catalog, just to see whether it's specific to that catalog. To do so, go to File menu > New Catalog and create a new catalog somewhere easy - Desktop perhaps - and just try importing a few photos into that test catalog and see if you can get it to freeze. I'm wondering if the catalog's been damaged slightly by that initial unexpected close, and if so, we'll see if we can get that sorted out for you."
    I did exactly that (created a test catalog) and I don't get the error. I am not clear on what does that mean. Could you help me understand it? What do I need to do to use my old catalog? Is it damaged? How can I fix it? Did I loose all the work that I did in my previous pictures?
    If I go back to my original catalog, I still get the error.
    Thank you in advanced for your assistance.
    Tony

    Tony,
    Here's something you might try:
    Create a new, empty catalogue and try File->Import from catalog... and specify your broken one as input. With luck the damage will be left behind.
    If that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your preferences file. Look here for its location.
    And if that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your presets folder. See that same website for details.
    Let us know how you make out.

  • Adobe Audition has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    I have been using Audition 2.0 on this computer for quite some time and suddenly now when I open it, I get the cryptic error dialogue:
    "Adobe Audition has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.  If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.  For more information about this error, click here."
    When I click for more information, it's something useless like:
    AppName: audition.exe    AppVer: 2.0.5306.2    ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0   Offset: 65726168
    Nothing on my computer has changed.  There are no viruses.  I have not added any new audio plug-ins.  I am completely up to date with all critical Windows XP SP3 updates and none have been downloaded and installed recently anyway.
    I searched the knowledgebase and found a document that suggesting many things to try.  I tried them all, including running the Windows hard disk "check disk" tool with options to fix file system errors and recover bad sectors. I also defragmented the hard drive.  Lastly, I completely uninstalled Audition, then  manually deleted any remaining files, including registry entries as suggested in another knowledgebase article.
    I then re-installed Audition 2.0 and it did exactly the same thing!  This it maddening.  Now it gets even more interesting.  I discovered that if I start up the
    Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit that Adobe Audition installed also, then try to launch Audition from the toolkit, IT STARTS CORRECTLY!  I can then close the toolkit and use it like normal.  Weird work-around.
    What the heck could possibly be going on?  Anyone have any ideas?  I've attached the error log file that is generated by the error but I doubt it will be of much help.
    Thanks!
    Steve in Chicago

    stevefoobar2: I may have found a solution for you.
    I had the same thing happen to me today. I was using Audition 2 this morning without any problems. But this afternoon, it started giving me the exact same error with no apparent reason. Nothing on my system had changed.
    So I uninstalled it and installed Audition 3 in its place. Audition 3 continued to have the same problem that Audition 2 had, so we can assume that this is not something that was changed between versions.
    But my attention was brought to the fact that you and I are both running Windows XP SP3 fully up-to-date. So I thought I'd try seeing it from the angle of a problem with Windows instead of Audition, and see if I didn't get a better result -
    First, I logged on to Windows as Administrator. This may or may not be required, but you'll probably want to do it just in case (you'll see what I mean later). At this point, Audition still crashed the same way when I opened it, so I moved on to my next troubleshooting strategy -
    Instead of opening Audition directly, I right-clicked the Audition icon and selected "Run as..." This may seem odd since I was already logged in as Administrator, but it proved to be the solution in my case.
    In the "Run As" diolog, there are two main options: run as current user, or run as another user.
    Since I was already logged in as Administrator, I could safely select the first option (run as current user). But here's the catch: selecting the first option allowed me to UNcheck the box underneath that says "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity" (see the attached picture)
    Audition opened without any problems when I did this.
    This makes me think that one of the Windows security features suddenly decided to block something that Audition was trying to do, crashing the program in the process. By turning off this security feature, the problem was solved. And I only had to do it once. Every time afterwards, Audition has opened without any problems when I simply open it from my desktop. Perhaps Windows now remembers not to block Audition in the future.
    However, I have not restarted my computer yet, or logged off as Administrator. You may need to tweak this solution if you plan to do either of these things. You may end up having to "Run as" Audition every time you restart your computer or log off. You may even need to select the SECOND option, and run the program as Administrator with the appropriate password.
    Anyway, this was the only post I could find on Adobe.com concerning this problem, so I thought I'd post my solution in case it helped someone else.

  • Adobe Acrobat  has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    Just recently when I launch Acrobat X after about 10 seconds I get this error, "Adobe Acrobat has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."  I can create PDFs and open PDFs for 10 seconds.  I've done a repair of Acrobat,  I tried a new user account, and  I disbled all my start up items.  I still get the same error  I have no clue what to do.  Any suggestions?
    J.R.

    OK Will,  I pressed ctrl + Shift and double clicked on a desktop icon of a file.pdf I had saved there and it opened and is still open.  By not pressing ctrl + Shift the file opens then closes with that error in about10 seconds.
    So now, what has that proved to us is the issue?  Doesn't that load Acrobat without all the extensions?
    This issue just started a few days ago and all I remember installing on my computer were some Window's updates.

  • Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    When reading PDF attachments, I get the following:  Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have tried to remove Adobe Reader via Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs but that won't work.  I get this:  This patch package could not be opened.  Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package. I don't know how to do what is being asked.  I have tried to download Adobe Reader again but get this when I do:  Note:  this application already installed.
    I have Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) with an update installed on 2/19/2011.  I have Windows XP SP3.
    Anyone who can help me get Adobe Reader working correctly again or uninstalling it so I can reinstall.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the input.  Did you remove Adobe Reader 10 first before you downloaded the older version?  If you removed it, how did you do that?  The add/remove programs in control panel won't let me remove it -- it says a patch package can't be opened.
