Why did an app change

Ok Coryphaeus, 2 examples;

1) Corel Paint Shop Pro 10 and the related Corel Photo Album 6, no recent updates done or available --
In both, when a photo is opened, when looking at the image info, the Color Space info is now incorrect, it will say either 'uncalibrated' or 'sRGB' when I know the image was shot in AdobeRGB1998 colorspace. Both used to show the correct space, as shot.
I verified my DSLR was still set to RGB, and the images do show correct colorspace when opened in a Nikon app, ViewNX.

2) Windows Media Player 10 -- My PC had WMP10 orig, I upgraded to 11 at some point, later the 'Print CD Label' function disappeared. It wasn't just 'grayed-out' in the 'File' list, it was gone. And I didn't like how WMP11 behaved, uninstalled 11, reinstalled 10. 10 has worked fine ever since, and don't have the 'Print CD Label' in 10 either, but don't remember if I had that in my PC's original WMP10, but I think so.

Someone said the label printing part of WMP was in something called 'Windows Plus' and I could maybe reinstall just that part from a Windows XP install CD. Afraid to put the disk in my drive to try only that, don't want to mess up XP, it is fine. I see a file with that name(W+) containing 3 or 4 folders but they're all empty except for one.

I just wonder if a malware likely caused these to happen(No hits when scanned), or what else may be cause.

Thanks

From MSFT I didn't find this to be a native feature. It's all too possible an addon has failed. From registry cleaners to one hundred other reasons I think your question is a good one. Must we know what software titles do what on our PCs?

an add-on that I've found MS once sold for $20. I've seen it called 'Microsoft Plus' and 'Windows Plus' and it came standard on some versions of Windows XP. As prev said, I have that file, 'W Plus' but the folder marked 'CD Labelmaker' and 2 others of 4 total are empty.

Since my PC was originally configured with that capability included in my version of XP, is it possible to use one of the mfr's CDs to reinstall that Windows Plus only?

Almost every restore cd I've encountered does not have such a pick and choose feature. Dell being an exception.

Also your post omitted key details so no one can see exactly what software title is in play. Only that it's not a native part of WMP.

So dive into your Dell CDs and slip them in and see if they offer a reinstall of what you want?
