WMP (x64) Has Stopped Working

Aug 15, 2008

I am currently running Vista Home Premium x64. After a few weeks of using Vista and WMP 11, I learned through these forums that there is a 64-bit version of WMP 11, so I tried it by running the "wmplayer.exe" file in the Program Files directory (not Program Files x86). After a few seconds, I got the dreaded "Windows Media Player has stopped working" error message, along with a prompt to close the program - no additional useful information was provided. After uninstalling any and all codecs, using the SFC utility, using a registry cleaner, and any other suggestion I could find, WMP x64 still would not work for me.

So, I performed a clean install of VISTA HPx64. And, lo and behold, the first time I double-clicked wmplayer.exe in the Program Files directory, it worked! I tried it a few more times and it was still working, so I quickly downloaded the 64-bit Vista Codec package, and used the utilities in the package for switching the default player and registry entries to 64-bit. When I tried to run WMP, I once again got the "Windows Media Player has stopped working" message. I uninstalled the Vista Codecs package, restarted the computer, and still it would not work. I reran the SFC utility, and no corrupt files were found. Curiously, the first time I ran the 32-bit WMP, I was shown a dialog box for choosing options and doing initial set-up; when I ran the 64-bit WMP for the first time, I was given no such set-up opportunity.......

Windows Explorer Stopped Working, Internet Explorer Stopped Working, What DOES Work?

Jul 25, 2008

Lately when I've tried looking at different folders and files on my hard drives I keep getting "Windows Explorer has stopped working and will restart." It's driving me nuts, I can barely do anything.
Also, same thing with Internet Explorer...I'm getting real sick of Vista's shoddiness..

Internet Explorer Has Stopped Working, Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working

Jul 6, 2008

By now it should be obvious that, under the Vista operating system, I have Home Premium, there is a severe overall, general "has stopped working" problem.

Thus far I've experienced:
"Internet Explorer has stopped working"
"Windows Explorer has stopped working"
"Word has stopped working"
"Sherlock Holmes Nemesis (Adventure Company) has stopped working"
"Outlook has stopped working"
"Acid 4.0 (Sony) has stopped working"
"Acid 6.0 (Sony) has stopped working"
"Sound Forge (Sony) has stopped working"

Is it not obvious by now that Vista has a problem, maybe a compatability problem, with everything from Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word to third party programs which cause programs, as I mentioned, even programs made by Microsoft, to "stop working"? Is there no an overall "stopped working" patch or something that Microsoft has released by now?...............

Programs Stopped Working :: CCC.exe Has Stopped Working

Feb 10, 2009

All of a sudden some of my programs stopped working, for example catalyst control center is supposed to start as soon as vista starts, but now it gives me an error like:

"CCC.exe has stopped working"

Same with some others...

Yes i ran AVG, i ran malware, and superantispyware, none of them finds anything.

I cant even load daemon tools now, it gives me some error: "Engine loading was failed", cant uninstall it, it gives me another error, and some of the programs like netlimiter if i start them from my objectdock dock they automaticly stop working, only when i start them from the normal .exe they dont crash.

USB Hub Stopped Working

Mar 5, 2009

My laptop froze during a shutdown process and I was forced to turn it off by holding the power button down. Since then my USB hub seems to have stopped working; anything plugged into it doesn't even turn up on the computer even though all the lights on them are on (indicating they are receiving power at the very least). How can I fix this?

Anyway,Same problem. Please help me. I have written to Gimp, Microsoft, Gimptalk, HP. No answer from anyone. I do my work on Gimp. I lost all of my personal Gimp brushes and patterns. (my fault, didn't back up on new laptop yet)...

IE7 Has Stopped Working, WMP11

May 12, 2008

Vista Ultimate SP1. Since installing SP1 a week ago I can no longer use the WMP player of many internet radio stations. The different players open OK, play the regulatory sponsor introductory message but as soon as they get into connecting and streaming they shut down with a message that IE7 has stopped working. By itself WMP plays OK all VDO and Audio files on my PC. I was checking your answer to another WMP11 problem (see below) but hesitated to type the two lines in "run" since it says that Vista requires a higher level (?). I looked at the web site given by the link but don't quite understand what is meant by a "higher level".

Can I type these two lines in my Vista "run" (and hope it fixes the problem) or not? Or do you have another possible solution for my problem? I posted my problem on the media player support group but no answer so far.

IE Stopped Working, Disabling Add-ons

Oct 5, 2009

New behavior on new Vista HP 64bit installation. Was working fine 4 days ago; had been shut down until last evening. Have installed minimum additional apps, all reportedly 64bit compliant. IE 8 message when starting IE - "Last browsing session closed unexpectedly, Restore previous session or open homepage?" Either choice results in "IE has stopped working, Windows checking for solution"... "A problem caused IE to close, Windows will close program and notify you if solution". IE closes, no solution found. Have tried disabling add-ons, have reset IE settings to default, have disabled McAfee internet security. Have run antivirus scans, malware scans (all clean), my System Restore points were (unknowingly) turned off so my most recent restore point is from last evening, AFTER the problem began. What next? I'm at the point where I COULD run clean install of Vista HP.

Program Has Stopped Working

Mar 16, 2009

My Sony camera software includes a utility PMB Launcher. Ever since I installed Vista and upgraded to the Vista versions of the software, this utility has a problem. WHenever I click on the icon, almost immediately Windows Vista puts up a message box that says "PMB Launcher has stopped working. Vista is checking for a solution to your problem."

A few seconds later this is replaced by another box that says "PMB Launcher has stopped working.. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." The only option is to close the program. Nowhere can I find out what exactly is the problem and there is nothing on the Sony website that indicates other users have this probem. THis is getting to be problematic as my camera is filling up and I can't offload my pictures. How can I find out what might be the problem? Perhaps it is is simple as me having an incorrect path to the pictures folder or something, but I can't find out.

Bluetooth Stopped Working!

Nov 21, 2009

I currently use a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ56GN/B laptop. It comes with an integrated Bluetooth v2.0+EDR connection. It worked for the 1st year just fine but recently i have absolutely no connection with my bluetooth headphones. The only change that i have initiated on my laptop since then was installing some software for my Sony Ericsson mobile phone.. i think after that i lost connectivity with my bluetooth headphones. I have ensured that i am using an up to date driver (RFCOMM) and the device is enabled.

32 Bit Programs Have Stopped Working!

Aug 10, 2009

I've had Vista Ultimate (or whatever the 64 bit version is called) installed on my computer for almost a year now. Everything has worked perfectly until fairly recently. I noticed that one of my startup programs had stopped working (SoundMax32) and was showing up as an application error. This was around the time I installed the 64 bit version of iTunes, so I figured maybe my audio settings had been changed. The computer continued to work for another 2 weeks, and then yesterday, completely out of the blue, ALL of my programs (startup and otherwise) have stopped loading and are showing the application error message.

The thing I don't get is that Vista still boots up with no problems. I thought initially that the problem was limited to my 32 bit applications, but IE 64 bit doesn't work either? I'm about 2 days from just reformatting and doing a complete reinstall. But if anyone has any answers I would be grateful.

And no, I did not install any application between the last bootup that was fine, and the one yesterday. I've run windows update and updated everything but the programs still will not load (I'm writing this from my laptop because IE and Firefox give me the same error message).

DPFMate.exe Has Stopped Working

Apr 24, 2010

I recently bought two Ematic digital photo keychains as gifts. When I tried to load photos onto them, I immediately ran into a multitude of problems. When I had problems with those, I returned them and bought two Philips digital photo keychains that use the same software as the Ematic. I had the same problems with the Philips. These digital keychains come with the plug and play software built in. The software program included is DPFMate.exe. It has a USB cord but the computer reads it as a removable disk. I am not real computer savvy so I really need some help from someone who knows what is going on. I have talked to many tech supports and I get the same answer that it must be my computer because it doesn't make sense as to why the program isn't running as it is suppose to be compatible with Windows Vista. Here is what has happened so far.......

1) My computer recognizes the software but does not autoplay. When I go into My Computer and try to manually start the program DPFMate.exe, I immediately get a "Program has stopped working" message with the options to "Check online for a solution and then close program" or "Close program". both options ultimately lead to a closed program with no solution. Here are the details of the message:..........

Spacebar Stopped Working

Apr 29, 2008

During the eveningtime, the spacebar on my keyboard stops working. I am almost certain it's not the keyboard itself because I tried using the spacebar using the On-Screen Keyboard, using a diff. keyboard, and connecting remotely and in all those instances the spacebar didn't work. So it must be a software issue.
