Install Windows Media Player 11 In A Non-Genuine Windows XP

So here’s how you can easily install WMP11 on your non-genuine Windows XP. Here’s what you need
1] The Windows Media Player executable. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT FROM MICROSOFT’S HOME PAGE. Get it from here, or here. If none of these work, Google for it, useless.
2] WinRAR. Get it from here.
3] Fifteen minutes [Actually, this depends on the speed of you internet connection, and the resources of your PC]
Here are the steps. Follow them in the exact order, after turning off your Internet Connection.
1] After you’ve downloaded Windows Media Player 11 from the given links, and also installed WinRAR, right-click on the executable i.e wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu, and click Extract to wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu/. This will only work if you have WinRAR installed. (I guess other archivers such as PeaZip might work as well, but you see, this is tried and tested]





2] After the extraction is done, open the wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu folder. You’ll see this big list of files. Ignore all, but the last two rows, which is full of icon-less executables.



3] Now, run the wmp11 file. Follow the procedure, and finish the install. Go to Start, All Programs, and click on Windows Media Player. You should now be greeted by these windows, which’ll make you feel WMP11 is already installed. Choose Custom Settings in this, click Next and…



… uncheck all the boxes in this, and click Next.



4] Now, you must see an error, telling you that the wrong version of WMP is here when something else was expected, or some crap like that. Click No, and go back to the wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu folder (which you saw in Step 2).

5] Install all the remaining executables, in the exact order I tell you (They’re all in the same order anyway):

1] umdf
2] WindowsXP-MSCompPackV1-x86
3] wmdbexport
4] wmfdist11
5] wmpappcompat

Installing all these should be easy, as all you have to do is click Next. One thing though, do check those boxes, which prompt you to restart Windows. Notice that I’ve left out wmp11, as you’ve already installed that.

6] Now, re-install wmp11, and re-do Step 3. Now…



… Ka-chow!

Hope this worked for you (it sure did for me and a couple others). Comment if it worked, or didn’t!

Services.Msc is Not Showing Services in Extended View in XP

It sounds like your jscript.dll file has somehow become unregistered, so you can reregister it.

To do that, click Start, Run and in the box enter:

regsvr32  jscript.dll

Click OK and then you should see a message like this:

DllRegisterServer in jscript.dll succeeded.

It is fine to register the DLLs even if they are already registered.

If you did not unregister the DLL yourself. perhaps your system has some malicious software infection.

I would follow up with this:

Perform some scans for malicious software, then fix any remaining issues:

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

How to enable multiple remote desktop user logins in Windows 7

Windows remote desktop connection application can be used in order to connect to another PC on the same network or the internet. Both computers should use Windows and have the “Remote desktop connection” application available. For example, you can use all of your work computer’s programs, files, and network resources from your home computer, and it’s just like you’re sitting in front of your computer at work. You can also use it to access an application that is only installed on a single computer, by multiple users at the same time.
Windows 7 do not allow the concurrent use of a single computer by multiple users. This means that a user needs to be signed out before a second user logs in. This is not the case for the server editions of Windows. Luckily there is a patch that allows you to override this setting and connect multiple users at the same time on a single computer. The will even be able to use the same applications at the same time.
CAUTION: The following steps are probably going against the windows EULA agreement and could cause harm to your computer. I have already tested both of the patched below on windows 7 professional edition installations and could not find any issues.

Patch 1

The first patch just enables multi-user support for the Windows remote desktop connection tool:

1. You need to download the following zip file: Win7RDP.zip.
2. Unzip the contents in a folder (let’s say you have used the following path:  “C:\Win7RDP\”).
3. Execute the file install.cmd by double clicking on it.
4. You should see a screen similar to the one below, if everything works fine.
   
5. After the end of the patching process the remote desktop connection of your pc provides multi-user support.

Patch 2

The following patch application lets you choose whether or not to enable multiuser support for the remote desktop connection process or/and to disable the no blank password policy that is enforced on users that need to connect remotely. Follow the steps below to access the application.

1. Download the file Concurrent_RDP_Patcher_2-22-2011.zip
2. Open the compressed file and execute the file “Concurrent RDP Patcher.exe”
3. You should see the following screen
   
4. Check the desired options and then click the patch button.
