WHEN YOU NEED A DEGREE TO CHANGE OR LEARN OF A FEATURE ON WINDOWS

Bought a new laptop with Windows 7 and it is pretty cool. What happens when
using windows media player, quite often it will double all the songs in your
library which bis irritating and have to close it down and oen again and it
fixes this.

Despite this, sometines you want an answer and understanding what is going
on. Okay, so I do a search on this issue and a plethora of websites come up.
You have to register to just clarify a question-realoly, how many websites
require to give al your info to someone else who will probably sale your
personal info to someone else. So I come to microsoft and try searching and
absolutely nothing comes up as if I am the only one whoi ever had this
problem. I am sure others have the same problem but on the 50,000 hits on
windows media player-not anyone is really going to take fifty hours to sort
through this list to see if they give a solution,

So you sign up through microsoft to nanswer your questins-but as easier they
make stuff and new features-you literally have to have a strong computer
knowledge base to undestand what is out there.

Now, I am not sorry, perhaps a help section on the actual program? who would
have thought of anyone ever thinking about this, this is definetly
revolutionary especially in the world of Microsoft/. Hey, lets make a help
file and lets put common problems in there so no one will prostitute your
name to other companies. I just tought they hired smart people at Microsoft
and making things more user friendly will allow you to find out how to fix
your problem.

So, sometimes when I open windows media anbd it doubles every single file on
my library(thank God I did not copy a lot of music yet). Or maybe should just
delete everything from windows media and go get better free software for this
as this might just be the way to go, but am sure whatever digital music
company Microsoft bought will not to be keen on this-this means they will
make less money.

So when I kind find any concievable answer to stuff I will never use and not
find what I really need to make things work the way we wnt it to-why are we
still slaving for microsoft? Paul Allen has his football team and sure when
BillGates sold all his options donated money to the New Age occultic cult
joined to spread the cheer of too many people on this earth so we must now
klill billions to better manage resources and get onto the XBOX flying saucer
awaiting our god to come down and take us all to space in the next comet and
all get prepared by drinking cianide laced kool aid as we all follow
Bill-lets face it-we are robots. Yes, I am baing a bit sarcastic but when the
purpose of software is to make our life easier-common sense diuctates in the
testing process, several bugs will be found and perhaps publishing this
somewhere so we can learn to get our stuff to work as it is supposed to or
maybe we just need another government lawsuit to break up Microsoft again

Fair play so far.

You mean, nothing came up like this article on doubled-up media
library entries ?

Press the F1 key in any windows program to access its built-in help
and search facility.
