I upgraded from MediaPlayer 10 to 11 and was impressed with how much better it looked. Have done quite a few DVDs using Photo Story 3 for Windows and with the Media 10 it was great. Now I can run one Photo Story from the Media Player 11 and then it freezes. I have to do the control-alt-delete and then reboot. I can still play the music. but not the Photo Story. There is something I am doing wrong or something is missing, but can't figure it out. Can you help me? Have Windows XP, new custom-made computer. Thanks. Dora Lou

OMG!!! I had the same thing happen to me! I would hear the sound of a digital camera flash/capture (slow click sound) about every 5 - 10 minutes, or so!! Very scary!! 1 have 4 different computers in my home: I have 1 (IBM Thinkpad) laptop, which was the ONLY computer I used to go on line. The other 3 PCs (HP, Mac, Dell) have NEVER been connected to the internet - but do have a wireless that I disabled after I noticed the problem with the camera flash sound. ALL of my comptuers now make this sound!!! Just started happening in December 2008 and I've been looking for some information, or mention of someone with the same problem SINCE then. This is the first time anyone else has reported the same issue. >> When I checked the Device Manager and revealed all hidden devices, I noticed that there was a "Video Capture" controller, and some other wierd things that have never been there before: a bunch of controllers, terminal services keyboard, terminal services mouse, terminal services redirector, more video controllers, video capture devices, channels, pipes, some kind of message que process... ALL of which I never installed on my computer and I can't figure out when they became installed. After trying to disable the Video Capture controller, I noticed the camera sound went away, and NOW my CD drive makes a noise at the same approximate 5 - 10 minutes interval. SOMETHING is happening. I thought that I was really proficient with my computer, but I missed something and now I've been breached. I believe that my computer activities are being "captured," or photographed (maybe even video recorded) and are transmitted somewhere through one of the "secure" pipes that I discovered on my computer. I NEED HELP! I have a bunch of other related issues, but this was the start of everything. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. (No my camera isn't attached, no I didn't change the audio drivers yet, because I never changed them in the first place, and they've been working well until now.) I want to know WHY it has happened before I start to change what this "thing" has done. I need to understand it so that I can combat it. CAN ANYONE HELP?

I think I like my W8.1 desktop more then my W7 laptop! When I bought my desktop I asked that the upgrade to 8.1 be installed and login screen be eliminated. (I hate having to login when I start my computer!!) The only thing I still have a problem with is finding the controls on the right of the screen to shut down the computer......I really want the Start button back!!!! Besides that there are so many things to like about W8.1 and the convenience of having so many controls at the top of the folders. I have my "Desk Top" with my background choice and what icons I want. I must admit I'm still learning and finding new short cuts all the time. I'm a senior so I guess you can teach an "Old Dog" some new tricks :o)

Thanks to each of you for responding! I had a computer tech come to my house & he said that the new mouse I bought did need some software installation (altho the box said it did not). He did that for me & I was right back in business. He also went through my installations & deleted some old & unnecessary ones & my computer is faster now. $37.50 & worth every penny to me! Thnx again...
