HI! I have been using desktop machine with Windows 7 installed as the operating system in it. I have recently downloaded HandBrake 0.9.4 application that converts DVD to MPEG-4. But the problem is that I am not able to perform the same under Windows 7. It used to work under Windows Xp. It worked fine for someday with my current operating system but not now. Please help me out. Thank you.
The application that you have downloaded may not be proper that is it might be appended with certain issues. You need to check out for the thing that it is able to work out well with the same. As you said that the application was able to work with the system for someday and then it suddenly stooped working. So you need to install some other application that may not have any issue. So check out for the thing. This will help out.
There is a possibility that the application you have downloaded is not a full version pack. You need to install a full versioned application that has full support to the features and should work for long. A demo or trial pack works for limited period of time and after it is been over it stops executing the process. So check out for the thing. It may be that such things might be the cause.
Try to reinstall the application by uninstalling it. You need to make the things to work out for you by following the steps as follows:
1) Go to the start menu.
2) Choose the control panel option.
3) Now choose add/remove programs and hit enter.
4) Choose the application that needs to removed.
5) Click on remove button after it has been done.
6) Restart the system and then install the application again.
If the application has some issues associated with the operating system it may not function well. You need to check out for the latest version or the file that may support Windows 7 for the application. Try to run a clean boot and check out.
* Click on the start button.
* Type msconfig in the searchbox and hit enter.
* Under the selective startup tab choose Hide all Microsoft services.
* Disable the services.
* Restart the system.
Install the compatibility tools for Windows Xp and Windows Vista under Windows 7. This may help you out in making the things to work out for you then. You can get the application tool from the compatibility center. You need to install it in order to make the application to work with the operating system that you use. Hope this should help you out. Check out.
I have found that when using handbrake unsder windows 7, setting the following files in the handbrake install folder to run in compatibility mode for win xp sp3 fixed the problem for me:
Handbrake.exe
HandBrakeCLI.exe
Go to the file properties and select the "compatibility" tab. The setting is there.
