Windows XP Quicktime doesn't work for Windows XP!!!

Ok. I bought Quicktime PRO for windows since it had features like looping.
But... it does not play wmv files!!!
The ultimate insult is that there is a wmv plugin for MAC version of quicktime.
And there's no obvious way to rant directly to Apple, or get my money back.
I do see that there has already been one post on this with no answer... thought I'd try again

QuickTime Player can't open Windows Media Player formats. It never could and you should have seen that when reading the Web page carefully.
The plug-in for Mac users is endorsed by Microsoft and is intended to replace the Windows Media Player for Mac. Microsoft hasn't updated WMP for Mac since 2003 and has discontinued it.
Flip4Mac is third party software that enables most WMP formats be played via QuickTime. Ask them to write a Windows version.

Application Restart and Recovery APIs doesn't work for windows services

I am using the Application Restart and Recovery mechanism (provided in Windows API Code Pack for Microsoft.NET Framework) to collect some information (i.e. stack information when there's an unhandledexception) before my windows service crash down.
It works well for windows form applications, but the callback method wouldn't be called if the host is a windows service.
I have checked the article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/subscriptions/downloads/cc303708
But it doesn't specify clearly whether it works for a windows service. It seems that the recovery will only be activated when the user interacts with the error dialog of Windows Error Reporting (clicking "close" on the dialog, for example).
So I am wondering is my guess right that the Application Restart and Recovery mechanism doesn't work for windows services. Or is there a better way to meet my requirement?

I would suggest trying ARR if that's what you want to use. The restart portion won't work, but it doesn't need to as if you fail out of your service, the Windows service controller will handle recovery (up to and including restarting your service).
You configure those recovery actions either through code or one of the built in administrative tools for services such as services.msc.
DebugDiag/ADplus and similar tools ultimately do use built-in APIs; you don't need to add anything external to collect debugging information. You do however have to write a good deal of code to do somethings. It's pretty simple to use the unmanaged
function that I pointed out before and
MiniDumpWriteDump to write a minidump when you hit an unexpected error(the dbghelp.dll that comes installed with Windows has it so you don't need anything additional installed). You can even write a basic debugger that literally debugs a process using
only kernel32 functions (see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms679301(v=vs.85).aspx if you're interested).

Oracle client 9i doesn't work for windows ordinary user

Hello All,
I've installed oracle 9i client on windows xp. Client software works for user belonging to windows administrators group. it doesn't works for ordinary users not belonging to administrators group. Particularly when i run sqlplus from command line i get following error :
Incorrect environment variable PLUS_DFLT
Program execution error.
i also need access to Oracle ODBC driver.
When i try to configure ODBC source (created by user with administrator privileges) by common user i get following errors :
The setup routines for Oracle for Oracle in OraHome9i ODBC driver couldn't be loaded due to system error code 5
Could not load the setup or translator library
Very appreciate for any help.
Regards Arkadiusz Masny

It sounds like the users on the machine do not have access to the Oracle home directory. Check the permissions of the folder by right properties, select the user and check that they have read and then select advanced. Tick the "replace permission entries....." box and apply. This will re apply all user rights in all folders and subfolders. Try again.

My Mic Doesn't Work for Windows 7!

My laptop Model is a Satellite M305-S4910 I just last week got my laptop upgraded to Windows 7, but when I use video chat on MSN Messenger or Skype or any type of Audio Recording it doesn't work, or when chatting it seems like my voice is from a far distance, Please I need help, It's the only why for me and my boyfriend to talk from overseas, I really need this mic to work Please help me
Thank You

Thanks Chen, but still the same result.
I'll narrow down the scenario(actually two scenarios) as per the way it's behaving on Windows 7 machines.
Case - 1
1. I do a SetEnvironmentVariable remotely.
2. I go to that remote machine and search in advanced settings -> system env variables window. Dont click on the OK Button. Close these windows.
Result: Yes it is there as an entry.
3. I open up a command prompt and type 'set'
Result: No it is not set.
4. Again open up advanced settings -> system env variables window. Click on the OK Button. Close these windows.
5. Now open up a command prompt window and type 'set'
Result: It is set now
Case 2:
1. I do a SetEnvironmentVariable remotely.
2. I go to that remote machine and search in advanced settings -> system env variables window. Dont click on the OK Button. Close these windows.
Result: Yes it is there as an entry.
3. I open up a command prompt and type 'set'
Result: No it is not set.
4. I do a system restart.
5. Open up a command prompt and type 'set'
Result: It is set now
Any idea why this is behaving like this(more or less like setting a user level env variable), please ? I've to some way get through this obstacle to advance further. Thanks a lot for the support

DVD software doesn't work for Windows 8

I bought a new Lenovo Slim USB Portable DVD Burner. With the drive came the following software: BurnNow, DVD Movie Factory, WinDVD. Unfortunately that software will work in Windows 7, but it won't install in Windows 8. How can I get the software for Windows 8?

You can try setting the installer (and then the application .exe's) to run in compatibility mode. See this for more:
http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-8/run-a-program-in-compatibility-mode-in-windows-8/
Note: If you don't get the Compatibility tab on the Properties for the installer apps, try copying them to a folder on a local drive first and running them from there.

Graphic card driver update doesn't work for Windows 8.1 upgrade (Ideapad Y500)

I upgraded my windows 8 to Windows 8.1 today and it probably is a huge mistake. After the upgrade my Ideapad Y500 started to look weird (Firefox stopped working). I searched around for solution and was told that I probably need to upgrade the driver to my graphic card. So I went to the driver download page and downloaded the NVIDIA GeForce GT750M Second VGA BIOS Update for Windows 8.1
I followed the instruction to run the "Winflash_Yx00s.bat" file, but after I seleted "yes" to let it modify the system, there is a very fast flashing a little black window (too fast for me to see what it is), and nothing happens afterwards. I checked to make sure that nothing is running in the background. After waited for half an hour I tried to restart the computer and still nothing happens. The display still looks weird.
Please help me!

Does windows azure service management APIs work for windows azure pack setup as well ?

Does Service Management REST APIs(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460799.aspx) for Azure work with
Windows Azure Pack as well ?

Hi,
Windows Azure Pack is basically a proof of concept.
So, it will not have all the features that Windows Azure has in the cloud.
Some services such as Cloud services & storage services are not available.

Setting environment variables remotely doesn't work for Windows 7

Hi,
$RemoteMachineList = 'machA', 'machB'
$session = New-PSSession $RemoteMachineList
Invoke-Command -Session $session {[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Role",0,"Machine")}
The above is the code snippet which I've tried for setting a machine level environment variable. After executing this code in a collection of XP and Windows 7 machines, when I go and check the advanced settings->system environment variables, I can see
the new entry "Role" in all the machines. But unfortunately, this env variables actually gets set only in XP machines(I did a set command from a cmd prompt/or an echo command) whereas in Windows 7 machines, this doesn't exists even though it
shows up in the advanced settings->system environment variables.
Tried in several machines, only Windows XP is yielding the required result.
Please help.
Thanks in advance !

Please help me! The code below creates perfect output file son windows 7 and 2012 but on windows 2008 and win 2003 the generated images are corrupted without generating any exception during the process.

I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?

I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?

Do not worry about it.
Time Machine needs that your external drive is formatted in HFS+, or better known as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". This filesystem is used by Apple on Macs and Windows cannot read or write drives formatted with this filesystem, being this the reason why all your devices do not read the external drive except your Mac.
You can only use your external drive to make Time Machine drives. If you store anything different, you may damage the Time Machine structure, so it is better not to use it as a drive to store other data. Instead, get another external drive to do it or create a second partition on the external drive formatted in FAT32 by using Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html FAT32 can be read by Windows PCs

HELP! HELP! HELP! ****** With Quicktime 5.0 Pro for Windows

I'm in desperate need of a registration code (key number - approx 20 characters) for Quicktime 5.0 Pro for Windows. I have the "free" version of Quicktime 5.0 for Windows, but the poorly designed "Movie Shaker" software from Sony will only work with Quicktime 5.0 for Windows . . . which I have, but I need to unlock some of the grayed out features which require the "Pro" Version.
I've gone to Apple's website and purchased Quicktime 7.0 Pro for Mac and Windows . . . numbers won't work in older versions. I've called Apple Support and they will not provide anything for software that they no longer support . . . thus my "catch 22". I've tried all of my friends, assoiciates, E-bay, everything . . . no luck.
If you are a good samaritan and have a registration number to Quicktime 5.0 Pro for Windows, please e-mail to [email protected] THANKS!!!!!!!!

What a dilemma and a mess you've gotten locked into.
Begging for a key code (to a no longer sold product).
I read (before I purchase) the compatibility of the export formats of a camera.
Knowing Sony's history (and their use of proprietary codecs) I've stopped buying anything they sell.
You may be stuck in yesteryear.
Sorry my response doesn't give an answer.
