When using MSN Messenger and Netmeeting to video conference, my speech comes back though my headphones. The computer is an AMD Athlon XP 2200 notebook running Windows XP with a Conexant AC-Link Audio card and Conexant 56K AClink Modem.
When installing ‘Where in time is Carmen Sandiego’ the following message appears: ‘Qt32inst has caused an error in QT32INST.EXE. Qt32inst will now close’. Also, sometimes when turning on the computer, I end up with a totally blank blue screen and the bottom task bar which is frozen. The only solution is to restart the computer. Why does that happen and is there anything I can do about it? The computer is a Celeron 600 running Windows ME.
When attempting to run a game, the following message appears: ‘A required DLL file, DINPUT.DLL, was not found’. I tried to find this file by using the ‘Find’ program and it came up with an empty folder. Is it possible that somehow this file has been deleted? The computer is a Pentium III running Windows 98.
I have a fairly old PC with a 200 MHz processor with 256MB RAM running Windows 2000. I would like to be able to view AVI video clips. All the freeware/shareware players seem to require specifications above my PC. Are there any players that would work? I have Windows Media Player 7.01.00.3055. Is there a codec to allow this to play AVI format, or would I have to upgrade to Windows Media Player 9?
My Windows NT 4 computer at home is not connected to the internet. I downloaded Windows Media Player at my place of work and then copied the media player onto a CD. Although all programs seem to load OK they want to access the Internet. When I try to run an *.wmv file, I receive the message “Unable to download an appropriate decompressor”. Will I have to use a modem for the NT 4 box and download more files from the Internet before Windows Media Player will work?
