dvancavage,

Your problem might be missing codecs. A codec (compressor/decompressor) is used to 'decode' a video or sound. A video practically needs 2 codecs; a video codec and an audio codec.

To resolve your issue, try installing K-Lite Codec Pack Pro. This will ensure you to play all types of videos and music in your computer. Install the program without changing the settings if you don't know how to change them.

Also, I suggest you un-install any other Media Players that you have and leave Windows Media Player 11 (upgrade it to 11; it's free!), QuickTime and iTunes. Set Windows Media Player 11 as your default too so you can automatically play all the files you want with WMP11. http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_li...
K-Lite Codec Pack! Download the latest PRO version/ It's FREE!

albrechtchri,

To resolve this issue you may want to reinstall the video card drivers into the system. This should resolve you having to change the resolution every time you start up the computer. If you need to download the drivers for your Latitude E6400 you can click the link below and choose the the video card that you have installed in your computer.

Sounds like you have too many programs running at once, try to shut down programs that you are not using, this will open up more memory because video and music takes a lot of your 3mg memory. If it still does not work you will have to upgrade to higher memory. You must have 3GB memory, 3MB memory sound too small.

itunes is downloaded and installed on your computer.
not onto you ipod.
once itunes is installed on your computer, open the program and connect your ipod to the computer via usb cable.
It will mount to itunes and then just learn how to use it and load your music.

update your video card drivers. if that does not work, get a new video card.

first download the latest version of itunes.....then download this ipod converter http://www.ojosoft.com/how-to-convert/avi-to-ipod-converter.html you probally have already software downloading videos (like limewire, frostwire etc)..the vids you have open up the converter go to file and find the vid to convert once you converted the vid(s) go to itunes and import to movie/video playlist once it place in itunes connect ipod to pc/labtop...itunes is open it will reconize the ipod u just plugged in now on the left hand side of itune the panel you shoud see music/photo/video for the computer click and drag the video folder down to the ipod's video area ...look at top of screen...the video are now being tranfer to your ipod wait til this is complete then make sure you eject the ipod (never ever just unplug it from pc)
i hope this is helpful to you

I found this on the ipod forum on Apples website. See their site for any further assistance.

Sometimes you can resolve it by doing the following:
- Download the .exe file from Apple.com/iTunes
- Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
- iTunes > Remove
- Open C:\Program Files (default location)
- Find "iTunes" (default folder name)
- Shift + Delete > OK
- Run a registry cleaner, such as PC Tools Desktop Maestro, to remove all old shortcuts and registry keys no longer valid on your computer.
- Start > Shut Down > Restart your computer
- Run the iTunes install program

This should fix the problem, however may require also to update your Windows software (update.Microsoft.com) and download the latest Visual Basic Runtime executable. One time during my clean reinstall the iTunes software mentioned an error with a vb run executable and couldn't continue the install until I found it online.

Go to the Device Manager (right click My Computer > Properties > Hardware), and locate "Sound, video and game controllers". Right click the audio device and click Uninstall IMPORTANT: Make sure you have a copy of the setup for the drivers. http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/devices.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&SystemID=INS_PNT_6000&os=WW1&osl=EN
