How do I get my power windows and power locks working again?

Aaron: How do I get my power windows and power locks working again?
Within a month of each other, my power locks and power windows went out. I can lock the doors by hand, but the windows are immobile and not closed all the way…which is fine until rainy season/winter snow begins. I’ve checked all the fuses (both under the dash and under the hood) and none are blown. I understand that the next course would be to check the power relays, but I am not sure where these are located, or if it is within my ability to fix. If it is something I can fix myself, I would like to try.
It is a 1996 Honda Civic LX.

Gaurav: How to transfer itunes to new windows 7 laptop with belkin transfer cable?
I recently got a alienware m15x and would like my itunes library from my old xp computer to be transferred. I don’t only want the songs, I want ALL the things such as playlist, ratings, album artwork, and date added to my old computer to be transferred. How do I do this, I bought a belkin transfer cable for a windows xp to windows 7 computer already.

Thanks!

Answer by Ty M
I haven’t done this by way of transfer cable, but on the Win 7 machine go to Start (Icon)-> All Programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> Windows Easy Transfer. It will walk you through exactly how to do it. I know there is an option for using a cable in there, I just don’t know it will work for XP to 7.

How do you make manual wind up car windows wind up smoother – there is much tension on the window?

PDizzle: How do you make manual wind up car windows wind up smoother – there is much tension on the window?
I have an old corolla that i bought recently, and the driver’s window seems to have a lot of tension when i wind the windows up and down. Is there a fast, cheap way of fixing this? Or would i need to replace the whole system? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Answer by Kenny
The window regulator is worn out and must be replaced.

****EDIT****
Listen to the guy who repairs cars for a living. The reason why it is harder to move it is because the steel braided cable that composes the regulator is actually stretched out. Since it is stretched out, it takes a lot more effort to get tension on the cable and then turn the crank.

Lubricating it will not fix it. Once the cable is stretched out, it must be replaced.

Are there any available alternatives for double paned windows in a newer home?

prettyinpunkk: Are there any available alternatives for double paned windows in a newer home?
I’ve noticed that homes that have double paned windows commonly have them lose their seal which allows air in and out and lets moisture between the panels of glass. My home needs some of these windows replaced. Are there any alternatives for these type of windows that will fit my home? It is about 15 years old. I hate to replace them and have them continue to lose their seal on a regular basis.

Best answer:

Answer by fixitall
There has been a lot of improvement in the last 15 years in the materials used to seal the windows, many manufactures offer a lifetime warranty against seal failure. The double paned windows with low e coating will save a lot of energy.
I used this company and was very pleased with the price and windows.

How do you move videos from Windows Media Player to a folder on your computer?

DJ: How do you move videos from Windows Media Player to a folder on your computer?
I made a video with my dads camera that records on Mini DVDs. I need to edit, but the only program that the videos play on is Windows Media Player. I want to edit them using Windows Movie Maker, but I don’t know how to move the files.

Best answer:

Answer by micksmixxx
It’s not a case of moving the videos, sweetheart … and I offer that as a general term of endearment. It is NOT intended to be offensive, obnoxious, condescending, or sexist … though, I must admit, I have yet to use it to an adult male, apart from my own two grown up sons and one of their friends who I’ve unofficially ‘adopted’. What you need to do is convert the videos into a format that can be handled by Windows Movie Maker.

The following file types are the ones supported by Windows Movie Maker:

Audio files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma
Picture files: .bmp, .dib, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, and .wmf
Video files: .asf, .avi, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

Unfortunately, you haven’t told us which types of files the videos are currently in. (You can tell by looking at the suffix … the letters after the full stop [period, if you're one of my American cousins].)

One very useful programme that can convert multiple audio, video, and picture formats is FormatFactory. The good news is, this is a FREE programme.

You can download FormatFactory from the following website.

Hopefully, this programme will be able to convert the video files from your dad’s camera to one that you can successfully import into Windows Movie Maker.

I hope you have fun with your video editing.
