Maybe the issue is within the .mp3 extension registration in the Registry or in the Explorer view, see:
http://blog.chron.com/helpline/2012/03/viewing-additional-file-information/
It could be also an issue with file association, so you may want to restore the default settings for the specific filetype:

Many tks jaclaz for your reply
I checked your first link, everythink is fine except the folder SystemFileAssociations mentioned: it's missing at all. I have a folder named ".mp3" but it's directly in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder (see the attachement)
Anyway from that article seems everything is needed to aneable more infos in the hoover behaviour
For the second link instead, the only action the reg file had on my system is to associate back the mp3 files to WMP and not to WinAmp anymore. The columns Bitrate and Lenght in Explorer are still empty for any kind of mp3s...
Tks anyway for your time, really appreciated

Hello to all!
I just discover the issue in the thread's title. The missing info are valid for all mp3s I have stored since years!
I had disable all media center scheduled task, I tried to enable all back, reboot but nothing change so, that's was not the cause.
Recently I didn't modify any windows service, so at this point I'm completely stuck!
Any ideas?
Tks in Advance!!0 -
I would recommend that you use a static IP for out wired network. Also, do not enter a default gateway for the NIC. This way you should be able to access the internet with wireless via DNS/domain names, and then also have access to your LAN using IP addresses.
Hello and tks for your reply.
Actually all my PC's NICs are setted to AUTO, both for Gateway and DNS', I just used to reserve an IP address for each NICs into the router, just the ADSL IP I can't have static because it depends from my ISP.
I have a try and I'll let you know where I'll be stuck, just in case
Tks for now to all

A computer most certainly can work with 2 network adapters.
In fact, I am typing from such a computer now, where wireless is going to the internet (not under my control) 192.168.1.27/24 and wired goes to another local PC to transfer files over smb and ftp 192.168.1.18/30 (doesn't have a gateway entered). Normally the subnets should not overlap, but I got it working. Without a gateway on the second adapter, the computer still has only one route to the internet.
I think the adapters have to be on different subnets so that you can direct traffic into one or the other. You could control which adapter is prefered to reach the Internet, if both have routes to it, by changing the gateway metric.
Tks for your reply, it sounds good, but I think it's too much for my knowledge

By my side I choose always a security product looking for comparisons
My personal opinion is not safe enough if I don't have to crosscheck with others and, mainly, with specific tests.
So, I choosed Comodo not just because I like it or it is free, but because HERE is the winner of the comparison

Hello to all, I have this situation:
Netgear DGND4000 modem/router
To the router I have connected my two PCs and my Samsung LED TV
My motherboard (ASUS P8Z77V-Pro) has its wifi b/g/n card (not yet installed) and respective antennas
What generate my question:
I just discover an ASUS app for my Android smartphone (WiFi Go!) letting me to control the PC via the mobile, but having everything wired it doesn't works.
So, I need wired connection to transfer huge files in less time inside my LAN, but I would also the wifi link to be able to use the mobile app to control everything from the sofa
Do you think it should possible to have a wifi and ethernet connection working together on the same PC, each one doing different duty?
Tks in advance

Always no internet connection but the symbol is this
Any idea?
Tks in advance

Nothing to do
Uninstalling all the apps one by one doesn't help. Especially because I'm quite sure for the circle was something needing a reboot, and several programs, after uninstall them, ask me to reboot.
So, just rebooting normally it disappearing, and rebooting after a program uninstalled doesn't let me to understand if it is fixed or not.
Right now I restore the system of my desktop computer to last august 2011 using an Acronis image I had in my archive. I'll keep more attention from now.
For the laptop I really don't know what to do.... I don't have an Acronis' image old enough....

Yes, of course. If I don't remember wrong I tryed one time to close everything was possible via task manager but with no results, the circle was always there. I suppose an hidden process or whatelse, and the fact to don't have the circle everyday but sometimes during the month make me angry (I like to work to fix in short time, not in this way).
My last chance is to uninstall completely all the programs, one by one, and see what happen (I'll do an Acronis image before to start in this hardly way)
I'll keep you update, tks again mate

Hello and tks for your time
I have a look about the threads and for me there is nothing unusual, many of them are common to my laptop and many others not, but all are coming from installed and legitimate programs.
Should be more indicative understand what trigger the circle on my computer desktop, in this case I can try to close one precess via task manager and see what's happpen.
I suppose I'll need a lot of time to focus this thing. For now tks again for you time, very kind

Hello!
Finally I have some more information and what I discovered is really funny.
So, I'm using the laptop with the battery, to preserve it I switch from max performances to balanced ones, and the circle appear.
Run Process Explorer 15.13 it say, using its crosshair, it is explorer.exe, so I killed the process and start it again (Run->explorer.exe) and the circle is not present.
I change again the power options and circle is back
So, killing explorer.exe I kill the circle, using the power options trigger the circle on
So, the power management switch that circle on, it might be ok on a laptop, but what matter with my desktop computer???
Checked the desktop computer right now: opening the power management didn't trigger the circle on.....
It starts to make me crazy....

Well that is OK, if you aren't in a rush then neither am I.
Also you can go look in the Task Scheduler to see what it could be. It might show back up because of one of those. Honestly, I never went into there on Win7 until just now and I am surprised how many tasks I have in there.
Yes, I remember the scheduled tasks were a lot, and I disabled many of them, but maybe now there is one more (new program installed) triggering this circle, I'll have a look as soon as possible, it might be a good idea, tks a lot!!

Hello Tripredacus, tks for your time
On both computers I have the original OS, win ultimate sp1 x64, what I'm thinking is that 100% of the programs installed are equal for both, so maybe a new version of a program give me that circle.
I use to keep everything updated on my systems, using SuMO software released by KCSoftwares, so actually I can not understand which is responsible of that circle, especially because it can appear now, I reboot to kill it, and then need days nor weeks to have it back again, and I'm not able ti identify what trigger it on.
Like now, for example, before to open my browser window it was not there, after this reply, I close the browser window and it can be there.....
I'll keep ready to use the process explorer program for the next time, so now you know why you don't see me here so often for this kind of trouble
Tks for now and have a nice time

Hello to all
I have this little circle on my desktop, it appears not always and it doesn't do anything
If I go on it with my cursor it changes, if I left click the circle changes from gray to green, if I Click outside it comes back to gray
The right click doesn't do anything and you can't drag it elsewhere
This happen also on my laptop, I already try to close as many processes as I can, via task manager, but without any solution
If I reboot it is not there, untill.... I don't know what activate it, I just know it makes me crazy!!!
Anyone have an idea about that?? Tks in advance

Check the startup entries (msconfig), is possible that the related entry were not deleted during SQL uninstall and win, at startup, goes to launch that file or another one that is linked

Ok, we wait a response.
If you have installed Power 4 gear (should be this the name of asus utility), try to uninstall it first of all.
Sorry for this delayed solution but it comes for last in my mind

Or just try this wonderful free software, very easy, it make all for you without opening regedit

I think you have many checks to do:
- Did you install the Intel Chipset software?
- Did you install the latest Intel Rapid Storage Technology software?
- Do you have the latest VGA driver (V8.683.0.0)?
- If all the above are ok, proceed unplugging one USB device, shutdown, wait 5 minutes and boot it up
- Do the same with each USB device, once per time, and check. If nothing changed, go to the next step
- This problem happen when you use the battery power, the AC adapter or both?
- Run the laptop in safe mode, if everytime (do it more than once) you're in safe mode, you don't have this issue, means NOT an hardware problem
- If in safe mode you have the same trouble, contact the manufacter
- If not, try a clean startup (read here how), if in this condition your laptop runs smooth (do many cold boots), try to go back to its original setup re-activating, once per time, what you had disabled and check it

Explorer not showing mp3 bitrate and lenght anymore
in Windows 7
Posted · Edited by andywarrior
Hello jaclaz, tks for your reply
Yes, the Bitrate column is set to be shown in explorer since years, it's just completely blank (no infos)
In your first link you gave to me I found the regedit's folder previously not founded: instead to looking for it manually I just used the F3 function
Modified the InfoTip regkey as suggested, rebooted and no fix (I attach the image of the mp3 folder, maybe you can see something wrong nor missing), if it should be not readable enough as attachment, here below the original image
About the last link you kindly provide to me, I'm not so confidential with the regedit and its command lines to understand what I have to do
sorry
Anyway, my suspect is there is something wrong in Explorer regkeys, about the mp3 ones I think everything is ok
Tks again!
