This is definitely way off topic for this list, so we should probably stop after this. Basically it's taking control of your phone and becoming the "superuser". You can delete things that your phone came with which you don't want around. You can even change the operating system if you want to. When you root your phone though, you are on your own; good luck getting any kind of tech support from your provider. However, it's worth doing, if, for example, you can't get rid of that pesky bloatware Metro PCS or AT&T put on your phone, or if you have an SD card and for some reason the apps you have downloaded refuse to allow themselves to be moved to it. It works with Android devices, but I don't know if you can do anything equivalent with an iPhone.

Windows media player. This term, "root" is new to me. How do you root your phone?

Windows media player. Oh, it's not a conspiracy theory, it's the truth. If you ever root your mobile phone, you might be dismayed to see the number of things that run in the background, which are potential backdoors to discover all kinds of things about you, your habits, your messages, contacts. These aren't spyware or anything; the phone companies who sell you the phones put them in there. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: January 28, 2018 2:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] error message.

Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but it seems that everyone wants to know what everyone else is doing; whether it is microsoft, or apple, or whatever. -----Original Message----- From: JM Casey Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2018 12:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] error message. Windows media player. Hey Kimsan. I came across this page after reading your message: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-performance-win pc/server-execution-failed-with-windows-media-player/58a159d0-0e5a-475c-b3fa -7adfa631b18d?auth=1 I did not read the whole thread, but it sure made it sound like fixing this problem was more than it was worth. I would personally just use another media player, like Winamp, Foobar or VlC. I don't see the point in messing around with your user account or restore points just to be able to play a bloody mp3. Still, you don't seem to be alone with this problem, so do some more investigating online if you feel it's worth the effort. I know that's not much help. I never liked Windows media Player and don't know why Microsoft feels the need to connect to its silly network every time you want to play something. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kimsan Sent: January 28, 2018 2:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] error message.
