View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to set my autoplay defaults but I don't know if I should set them for Media Player or Media Center? I am really not sure what the difference is? I don't want the autoplay to open and ask me every time, so I want to make some choices here. I watch movies and the things that come to me from friends, and whatever it is that opens with those automatically, I all I need, but I want to set the autoplay to only those, so that will not keep coming up and asking me what I want to open. H.E.L.P.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCould not open my Media Player, no error codes and had just used it. I have Vista 64bit Premium Home version. After reading several posts tried a few things such as:
1) Made sure Media Player was the default (go to Start, Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Play CDs and other media automatically and select appropriate boxes to use Media Player as the default - meaning it will automatically use Media Player).
2) unplugged my MP3 player from the PC (I charge it using the PC, no problem in the past)
3) rebooted my PC I selected Media Player and it popped right up.

We have a security camera that takes a short video when motion activated. The file is then emailed to the tech guys. I cannot view the video. It opens Windows Media player and then just sits there with a blank screen. I can use XP and the file plays just fine, just not on my Ultimate computer.
First of all I'm on vista home basic, second of all wmp was already installed on my pc when I received it. Lastly, it's always had this problem When I click on a mp3/avi/any wmp associated file it will launch the file audio, I can hear it BUT wmp doesn't open, I have to manually launch wmp before I can stop the file or do anything else.
I googled the problem many times and tried solutions but never got anywhere. I reset the assiociated files, I've checked for updates , I've run out of ideas. I was even going to unistall and reinstall it. Yet I can't seem to get a vista version from the microsoft webpage ?! So I don't want to uninstall it and loose it, or even try using wmp 10
instead, I'm worried it will mess up my machines default settings and/or media center!
I know there are some other threads about this problem but i can't post a reply there. I have a problem with wmp 11. It was working ok, but one day it stopped opening. Even if I double click it or if i try to open a mp3 file, it won't load.I tried to delete the registries,as i found somewhere on the net, but nothing happened. Any solution found?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have vista basic and windows media player(v11) is slow as crap. after the window appears it'll take about 20 seconds to load the media that's available(just to get it to a point where it'll respond. then after I select something it lags for about 10-20 seconds and then a 'media changing...' message appears at the bottom left and it'll be about 20 seconds to play that file. so from start to wmp playing something takes up to a minute. wmp11 on my xp puter(512mb hyperthreaded) blows wmp11 on my vista laptop(gig ram amd 64 x2) out of the water. is there something like some setting or something I can change to make things run faster? I like wmp11 and don't want to dl winamp.

It seems that drivers responsible for multimedia keys are malfunctioning, because sometimes when I press they key the operation assigned is performed twice. This refers definitely to Windows Media Player (I don???t use other).
- I have Windows Media Player playing some music in the background
- when I use Internet Explorer (it is my active application) and press ???pause??? button on the keyboard the music pauses ??? everything is ok.
- when I use Word (or any Office application) and press ???pause??? button the music pauses and after a fraction of a second it starts playing again. When I press ???next??? WMP jumps 2 songs forward. I don???t have any software that could affect functioning of extra keys on the keyboard (only IntelliType). Morover I know that other people have similar problem.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIn an attempt to reinstall Media Player 11, I trashed all icons associated with the media player and am now unable to create a shortcut icon for the desktop; it turned out that the problem I was trying to resolve needed only the download of an update, which I did, and now the program works. I know that the program is on my computer because it opens when I click on video files, but surprisingily it does not appear in the list of programs, so I can't make a shortcut icon from it. How do I make the icon so that I can open the program from the desktop?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI uploaded a 3gp file to my computer from my phone & tried to play it in Media Player. At first it wouldn't do it, then a prompt told me I could try & run it if I wanted to. It played but now Media Player won't run on web sites, particularly the Nasa homepage (it used to ). Now I am forced to use QuickTime, which just isn't the same. I won't have RealPlayer on my computer either, just in case anyone suggests I download it.
View 4 Replies View Relatedproblem with wmp 11 is that for some reason it takes a good 20+ seconds to play a song. Video streaming is fine, it's just with mp3 format songs. Not only is there a time lag for mp3 song files but it will always start skipping for the last 10 seconds of the file. It never fails, I must wait half a minute whenever I click a song and then it WILL skip during the end. I can't reinstall it for some reason either. It doesn't show up in the add or remove programs list. I can't express my annoyence enough, having such a large library of music.

I can't track down the correct files at the MS site to reinstall, and I'd rather not use System Restore since I'm not sure how far back to go or how many things would be undone.
