I can play music, but can't play music videos.I get this error message:Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. In the Open URL dialog, try opening the file using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").I am also having problems with UPDATING Windows Media- I get a message saying I am missing some components. I cant go into the Microsoft updates webpage either- I get a message saying ''page cannot be displayed''
When I insert a music CD, a window comes- up asking if I want real player or take no action.What I want is auto-play with windows media player and cannot figure this out.
All of a sudden I am unable to play music that's on my computer, and I can't play video files. I believe the problem has something to do with RAM usage, but I don't know what to do about it. Everything else seems to be working OK. The only recent change I've made is that I installed the Kaspersky Security System -- maybe it blocks video and music.
I cannot play DVDs or DVD files in WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 10. It worked fine before, now nothing. When I go to try and play a DVD or file, I get the following message:Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. Open Display in Control Panel, and then lower your screen resolution and color quality settings. To view the DVD Troubleshooter, click More Information.
whenever I try to play music it doesnt play, it says low on memory, whenever I open any Microsoft Word program it gives me some error about a license, and whever I try to copy and paste anything, it doesnt let me. I have a few partitions on my hard drive and whenever I copy one file or a folder or anything, I cannot paste it anywhere. If I open Control Panel, the screen doesnt appear as usual, all the icons are on two columns on the lft side with a scroll bar next to them. If I try to open Add/Remove programs, it comes up all garbled. I was going to just reformat the whole computer but it will not boot from the cd rom drive now. And whenever the computer is booted in W2K and I try to browse the CD in My Computer, it just says "Please insert disk in drive...." Also, whenevr I restart, it sits on my desktop for about 5 minutes before it finally brings up the icons and everything. It has never done any of this, it just started this morning.
Im mad that my My Music folder is empty, how do i put my windows media player music in it? whenever i download music i just go to "Add to windows media player", how do i bring that to "My music"
Having recently had someone else using my computer for a while, installing various software (like winamp and SubEdit player) it seems windows media player (that's what I use) no longer recognises the usual files as media files like .mp3 .wmv .m3u .avi etc etc so when I click open file and select "media files (all types)" in the file type box it shows nothing, so I have to change it to all files which is irritating. Media player still plays everything fine but this is pretty annoying.
I get an error message "C00D11D1:cannot play file". When i go into Control PanelSounds and Audio Devices it is telling me that there is no audio recording device or playback device installed
When I had Win98SE I could insert a music CD in my CDROM and it would automatically start to play. Now with SP Home Edition [Ver 2002, SP1] nothing happens when I insert a music CD into either my CDROM or my Burner. I do have sound though, either playing wav files or other sound files, so the problem is not my sound card or speakers. In addition, in my XP I "used" to see a pop-up when I put a blank CD in my burner in preparation of burning a CD with my Nero. It gave me some choice which I never really looked at closly because I just closed the window and went to Nero to burn a CD. Now, I don't get that popup any more either. Confused, I hope not. Have described my problem as best I can. If you need additional info to determine a response, let me know.
Complaint was audio CDs won't play. Think problem is actually autoplay doesn't work. It is enabled for the drives/files. Tried Microsoft autoplay repair tool, Tweak, checked services. Music CDs just won't autoplay
I have xp home with the current media player. When I click on a cda file from a music cd I get this message:
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. If the file is on another computer, verify that you are connected to the network. If you typed a path, verify that it is correct. If the problem persists, the server might not be available.
It plays mp3's, but quit playing cda music cd's. Any help is appreciated.
I can't get the sound to work.I upgraded to XP pro from 98 I have got a brand new hard drive,I know the sound card is good and so are my speakers.I have the drivers and everything shows as working but no sound.When I reboot it starts to play the music then shuts off.
I use windows xp. When I open mozilla ms pacman music plays. I can go to any page I want but the music plays in the background. I mistakenly hit the solved key for this problem.
I'm currently using an Esystem laptop that other than the odd error beep will not play music file or sounds on games.I needed WLAN driver a few days ago and you helped brilliantly, supplying me with the file.

I am running windows XPSP3 with windows media player 11. For some reason I cannot play wmv or avi files. I get the audio but no video. This is true for any media player that I have tried. I have re installed both the media player and windows to no avail. I have checked the codecs and seem to have the most common ones (see below) I ran GSpot on one of the files and it said that I had the proper codec, yet it still won't play. I am sure it is a setting problem of some sort , but don't know where. Can you give me any help?
My friend downloaded songs from her cd's onto her computer and emailed them to me. I am currently running Windows XP, Windows Media Player 10 and I just recently got rid of IE and installed Firefox. When I try to play the songs, they are license protected. It redirects me to the microsoft page to download the license and and error pops up reading "Error: Your netscape browser does not have mircosoft windows media services plug-ins installed." I went to the plug-ins section in Firefox and it is not there. I tried downloading a couple of different plug-ins from microsoft and none of them made a difference. How do I get this plug-in?
