My windows media player is saying,indows Media Player cannot find the file. If you are trying to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the item might point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.
I have Windows 7 Home basic service pack1, 64 bit OS. I'm not able to play FLV files using the VLC 2.0.1. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it many times but it didn't work. When I'm trying to play the files nothing is shown, not even a single error message. but no sound/display.
So I have been trying to play/rip this CD I just got, but I have been having no luck at all. It will start playing the song, and continue playing the whole song, but the rest of the computer crashes so I am forced to restart. I don't get why one program would crash the whole computer like that.
I've also tried to rip the CD, and it would rip about 4 tracks and then the computer would crash and it would stop. Anyone having a similar problem or know how to fix this one? It is an imported Japanese CD by the way, not sure if that matters or not.
I've got full sound in everything else and the latest sound blaster drivers. I insert a DVD and play it in Windows Media Player or Center and I get no Audio (*shakes head).
I play the DVD in VLC and it plays and sounds fine, but the Quality of the DVD video in VLC blows.
What's the fix (and why does there need to be a fix) for Windows Media Player? You'd think Windows Media CENTER could at least play a DVD...
One of my .avi files got the extension twice, not able to play in vlc media player, but it plays smooth in Windows media player. I don't now how it happened, but tried to rename it, still appears the same. When I looked in to the file properties it says the file having extension,(.avi) (.avi).!!! Thought of converting the whole file to some other format, sadly video converting program not able to open as it says unknown format!!!
when i play that playlist first time, it shown the correct name, but since 4th or 5th time i played, it has shown wrong name, i don't know how to fix itplease look at "Stranger" or "Pretend",
i recently installed asus xonar dx sound card. after installing the drivers my system restarts as soon as i play any video on media player classic[K-lite codec 5.20] the videos are playing perfectly in vlc player, but when i play in media player classic my system shows blue screen and restarts.Iam using win7 x64 on quad core 8200 processor
My windows media player will play a CD for 2-3 seconds that stop. If I try to get it going again it says it has stopped responding. It used to play just fine so I can't figure out what has happened to it. I have Windows 7 and use Mozilla Firefox browser.
I wanted to ask if it is possible to set Windows media player to open as the default player inside media center.The reason that I ask this is that I find media center sound is very low quality. I am using it inside windows 7 ultimate X64. I also use Media Browser and have set it to use media player as an external player but it loses some functionality after something is played I have to restart media center and media Browser to play anything again because it will go back to menus but not play anything untill
How can I make Windows Media Player stop updating media every freaking time I start it up? It always hogs up massive amount of CPU power and goes into (Not Responding) for a min while updating.I only add media files to the Windows Explorer Library so I can get indexed searches. I don't even use WMP to view files or anything. Just to burn some music CDs sometimes.I've tried deleting the files from the WMP library but the next time I open it up, it scans and updates all my files again! Is there a way to completely purge the WMP library and make it not update ever? I've unchecked every option that seems to make it scan and update but it still does it.Basically I want to UNLINK the Windows Explorer Library from the WMP Library.
I have VLC Portable as the default program for opening some video files, like .mp4 and .avi. And I have Foobar (portable) as the default program for .mp3.Usually the icons on .mp4, .avi, .mp3 files get updated with the icons of the assigned media players.But on this PC it's not working. They're still the same icons as if WMP was the default player.Does it have to do with the Standard user account? (Because on other PCs I run from an Admin account and I don't have such problems.)
I'm in grave problem here. I just installed windows 7 x64 a few days back. And initially I installed the 32bit version of k-lite codec pack for my windows media player. The media center worked fine then. It was loading my ffdshow and ac3filter along as I checked it.But then yesterday I noticed that the same pop-up od recommended/express install of WMP came again. Initially I thought that it must be some bug or something, but then when my MKV and AVI files didn't work in WMC, I realized that somehow WMP x64 got triggered, and now it is using the x64 bit of WMP in WMC. And I just wanna revert back to 32-bit WMP in WMC.
I can't get eithe WMP or MC to play a DVD. I've set the region code. WMP acts like it will play, but then just goes blank, and MC says it cannot play the DVD. These are original discs, not burned copies. I have a custom built system, with 2 graphics cards (GTX 260 and a GT 220) 6 GB of RAM, and an i7 processor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A file called wmpntwrk.exe is consistently using 2.5GB of RAM and runs constantly, slowing down my computer. This is Windows Media Player. Norton frequently gives me an error message saying that 'Windows Media Player Network Sharing Device has high CPU usage' or something to that effect. It is running as a process the entire time my computer is switched on, regardless of whether or not I am using this program.
anyone knows if we can install WMP 10 on 7 x64?I really hate WMP 11 behaviors, I want it to be maximized at all, when opening it, it re-sizes itself to the size of media being played.Some times, it won't open media files and after a while says: "server execution failed".I have to re-open the media and it will open this time!Any Media Library, I hate it, I don't want WMP to be opened always in Library mode, I want it always in Now Playing mode.
Earlier tonight I found when I tryed to open a music file I got class not registered. I can use another player but when I choose windows media as my default player I get this error. It loads the windows media player then says this: Doesn't say class not registered anymore.
Media player won't rip CD's. When you go to options, Rip Music, there is no default location shown for the file. When you click "Channge Location", nothing happens. So I can't rip CD's in my version of Windows 7.
Would Windows 8 fix this or is there another fix I can use?
My default is WMP for playing CD's and DVD's. I have a Toshiba NB 305 netbook, Windows 7. I copied a DVD from a friends LG Portable Super Multi drive (her computer is XP - in case this might be important?)to my external HD. Something from my Norton popped up earlier regarding GEAR software, but I did not understand it and so dismissed it, at the advice of a friend...I am not so computer savvy. Since then I cannot even access my Windows Media Player.
I have tried everything to get the vlc media player to install on my laptop which has windows 7. Ive done the troubleshooting with changing my security on my browser, tried downloading it from different sites, all to no avail. Im about to post a question on yahoo answers and see where that gets me. But first I thought I'd share it here.
I just installed a clean install on my 64bit machine with Windows7 Pro. Media Player is nowhere to be found. Searching the drive discovered hundreds of files that are not executable and have the registry naming system in them, also found several .dlls but no executable. Microsoft's site simply says that it is installed with the OS and there is nothing about how to add it. I did look through all the add windows features and did not find it. I also tried to find the .cab file on the install DVD to see if I could manually install it, but I could not find that as the file structure of install discs has changed since I knew how to do this before.
I am running a 32 bit version of 7 Home Prem. For some reason WMP is not launching from the its icons on the task bar or in the start menu, nor by trying to open a WMV file.
.dll has a version number of 12.0.7600.16667 where 12.0.7600.16415 was expected.Windows Media Player is not installed properly and must be reinstalled.Do you want to install the Player from the Microsoft Website?
*YES* *NO* "
When I go to download it again from the Microsoft Website there is no option to download WMP 12.
My WMP12 used to work. but nowadays, what it does whenever i try to open it is show its window for like 20 milliseconds, then close. My Encarta 2009 doesn't work well, it says it needs the WMP to play, so does my desktop gadgets. I think something happened. i tried using sfc/scannow but even it cannot solve the problem. i don't know what to do. I am currently in dilemma because most of the Win 7 features rely so much in wmp12. how am i going to use it if doesn't work? P.S. i also tried turning on and off media feature pack. it doesn't work. I am currently using Win 7 Ultimate, 2 GB ram, 1 GB vid card and Intel Duo P6100. my laptop is just a month old but its system is like failing
