Please, I need help with my windows media player. I am using a laptop that comes with windows XP professional. And I was using windows media player 9 before, I decided to upgrade to the WMP11 version, after all the stress of downloading the whole 26MB or so, only to be faced with the problem of Genuine Advantage Privacy Statement, it has practically left my system lifeless as I love listening to music while working on my system. Now I can't listen to any of my tracks, Please I need help ASAP. I like the WMP11 and I will appreciate it if I can get help with using it, Thanks in advance ya'll

hi t-flow, if your laptop came with xp, it should have downloaded media player 11 with no problem, it only does that when the xp is not genuine. the solution now sine you can't play any music is to restore to where it was, i hoe that works, this is the procedure: start-----all programs-----accessories-----system tools------system restore. then you choose an earlier date where the media player 9 was active. hope it helps  if it doesnt work, you might have to re-install xp  goodluck bro. |

why do y'all think i keep maligning 'computer engineers' and the pricks who say they have 'genuine' kaspersky etal - mot of them are dishonest and incompetent pricks who will install pirated softwaer without informing you. any warezed product that requires constant updates - eg an antivirus - will alway give you problems. theres a registry entry floating aerouund the net somewhere that will make your windows genuine. thats all i'll say. . .  |

Though I am against pirated copies of softwares, let me help you out on this one.
I followed this procedure to install WM11 on Windows 2003 server and then realized it bypasses the validation test on XP machines as well. Here:
- Download the Windows Media Player 11 setup file and save to disk.
- Run the setup file - the first thing you should see if a validation checker. Just leave this up, DON'T go any further.
- Open the temporary directory (type %temp% in the run dialog box).
- In the "IXP000.TMP" folder in the temp directory, run the following in the listed order:
- wmfdist11.exe
- wmdbexport.exe
- Restart your system after the both installations only.
- Once restarted, run the Windows Media Player 11 setup file again as the temporary file has been deleted. Navigate back to the "IXP000.TMP" folder and run the wmp11.exe file and restart once more.
- After this restart, you should have successfully installed WM11 without OS validation.
P.S: No be me tell you o!

I don't support you blaming the Engr because installing original copy of Window XPS2 cost almost 25k which i don't think just anyone can afford simply because you want to keep your system working.nevertherless if you want the original copy of windows you visit Vineyard Computers at Adepele str in Computer village.You can now Validate anywhere on the net,

your system is low on virtual memory.windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file.during this process,memory requests for some applications may be denied.
this is what my system is complaining and each time he complains it my system we started working slowly at times he got hang
Please I need help.

Whats the size of your system memory? (RAM).
Virtual memory is a space on your hard drive reserved for/used like a RAM (swap partition). When your available memory is low or applications have redundant volatile data in RAM, they get swapped into the virtual memory.
To improve performance (some what) on your system, just go get a higher capacity RAM, nothing less than 512Mb.
Cheers!

@ maleeq - what exactly is d diff between the pagefile and virtual memory?
plus- i f have a peculiar issue.
i'm dualbooting vista and xp - which means i have 2 page files.
as a resource control freak, i have all sorts of monitors running. i use mem info- and it says my page file is 6gb. i couldn't figure this out before, and i caually once went as far as reducing the pgefile to 521mb, only to see it as 4gb. sadly it backfired and i had to reinstall windows.
anyway, i think i've figured it out, mem ifo is referencing the pagefiles on my vista and xp drives.
but does the system do the same ?
and what are the implications for xp - because i think that implies that xp's pagefile will have vista stuff in it(am i making sense? ) unless i clear the pagefile when i reboot?
i ask this because my xp actually seems to run slower than my vista,

They basically are the same. Virtual memory refers to hard disk space (Page File /swap file/swap partition) reserved for 'memory-like operation" for data that does not fit in RAM or are redundant.
About dual booting, from my knowledge, they should not be sharing page files. I am not so sure about this though. Its possible because in both OSes, the page file is named "pagefile.sys" and that is the name the OS searches for when locating page files located in more than one partition/drive.
About reducing the page file down to 512Mb, not good. Even though you have 4Gb of RAM, it is worthy to note that on x386 machines, the max addressable memory is 4Gb per application/process. This by far more than the RAM you'll ever have. Some applications reserve memory they probably would never fully utilizethese are the time virtual memory is great.
About the page files containing the other OS information, its very possible. Since data is stored on the hard drive, and you know that when a file is deleted, its the memory pointer that gets deleted and not the actual data. However, when windows sends a file to page, it creates a pointer that maps the requesting application's memory request range to the actually page location. This pointer is not retained after a reboot and effectively, the application will lose its data(Just like a RAM will).
Your XP running slower than Vista should not be entirely because of your page file. Use the performance monitor to view the the virtual memory activity. If you have a high index, then you know you've got to pump up some RAM or defragment the page file/drive.
I hope you get a little info from all I've written, else let me know.
Cheers!

Me thinks the best thing you have to do is to get a genuine copy of winxp,i had similar problems when i was running xp on fujitsu simens until i was able to order for a genuine copy of winxp, and installing mp11 and other softwares became a thing of the past. interested? write saint.stokey@yahoo.co.uk |

all this will take a lot of time
this is the simplest step by step instruction of cracking wmp11.exe
if u have winrar, just unarchive it to a folder,
the executables are displayed in this folder
run them except for setup_exe
make sure u run wmpappcompat.exe last, it an hotfix (neccesary)
also make sure u are on SP2

if you try to download the media player 11 online, you will be faced with those shits because 80 percent of the OS we using aint really genuine and you can bet Microsoft got lots lots of ways to track that, best solution is to get it from computer village as that one has already been cracked and you will really enjoy it,
Oh boy to get a genuine OS is damn expensive ooo, settle for less and tweak your pc in a way it will work fine,
Notin will do you if you keep using version 9, but you can also try out some new media players out there online, lots of cool ones to enjoy,
USE GOOGLE,
