Upgrade Media Player And Printer Backup
Apr 29, 2006
I just finished reformatting my computer. Besides having to download SP2, I still have to set my printer back up and upgrade the Windows Media Player to version 10. What would be the best order to do this?Download SP2 first and then install my printer software and upgrade the media player. Or do it in the opposite order? Or would it matter. The reason I'm asking is I seem to remember having a problem with WMP 10 after a Windows update from when I originally had the SP2 package. I also just recently had a problem with the "high speed page print" option of my Canon printer software.That problem occured after the latest Windows update prior to reformatting. I was able to get both problems fixed but, would like to avoid it happening again if I could. This was my first time reformatting a computer and I had no problems with the whole process and I hope the final steps to continue in that trend!

I was using my machine without any problems and decided to upgrade media player to version 10. I then installed the latest updates from microsoft and restarted. Now everytime I try and use internet explorer or media player I get a window open up that states that the programs have encoutered a problem and that I can send an error report or dont send. if i click on the dont send option the program shuts down. I can pull the error message away from the explorer window and still use interent explorer but this isnt right. It only
seems to have started since the updates were installed.

Downloaded SP2 for Windows XP Home and immediately lost all video (not audio) in both Real Player and Windows Media Player. Removed each of these and reloaded "fresh" version - same problem. Then removed SP2 and presto - video returns.

How do you make Windows Media Player your 'default' player? I know I've done this before, but can't remember how.

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 this every time I try to open a media file even when I click "always use selected program" This just started happening a few days ago after I ran a bunch of registry cleaners.

For months I had no problem ripping cd's and playing the music on WMP10. Suddenly the system will no longer do either. Clicking on any of the listed songs results in other music playing which,obviously was not affected. I might add that listed number of times previously played were all erased. Has a new policeman for copyrighted music shown up somehow?

When I insert an audio CD into my CD ROM drive it plays automatically and then I do not know which media player plays the CD. I have WMP,iTunes,GoldWave,Realplayer and quick Time in my Entertainment folder.Task manager does not indicate as to which application or process is being used for audio.I would like to know which program/application is in use at the time the CD is playing. Besides I do not want to disable the autoplay of the CD.

At some point, in the last week, or so, I started to download this program. Within seconds, my computer froze. I could not back out of the download or even shut down from the START menu. I had to do so manually.Ever since, I see two boxes on Start-up: one says "TrayApp" and asks me to insert a CD-rom disk to access the program. Another says "Error 1706" and that no valid source can be found for TrayApp product. Every so often, I see a screen asking me to insert a disk for Viewpoint Media Player. My CD-rom drive is not functioning, so I couldn't do that, in any case, even if I had the disk.

Whenever I attempt to use Windows Media Player 10, I can see a picture but can't hear any sound. My speakers are still working as I've checked various sites and viewed clips and could hear sound with no problem. I am using Windows XP. How can I fix this?

1. Make a folder of your favorite artist and copy audio files to that folder.2. Rename any '.jpg' file to folder.jpg. Resize to 200 x 200.3. Copy and rename the folder.jpg to AlbumArtSmall.jpg. Resize to 75 x 75.The Album Art will now adjust automatically to fit the now playing window in Full Mode.* You can use the 'Resize Picture' included in the WinXP Powertoys for resizing.

Where are the temp internet files for WMP 10 located at? When you watch a video clip on the internet in IE 6, can you save the file? Seems like i could with real player in the temp folder.

I use Windows Media Player 10 as my primary media player. But I like to keep Real Player and QuickTime quietly waiting in the wings and call upon them occasionally. Well, I got the latest version of the Real player and clipped its wings so it wouldn't take over every audio and video file i have. Then downloaded the latest QuickTime player (after uninstalling the old one.) Every time an attempt is made to install the QuickTime player after 11 or so seconds into the process it stops and gives me this little message: "1607: Unable to install Installshield Scripting Runtime."

I cannot seem to find any codec other than 3vix to play these m4a files. That was fine until the demo ran out. Is there a free codec or am I forced to buy a codec (just seems principly wrong). Or maybe some kind of converter?

I just received a pop-up without any way of closing it. This is bizarre to me. It is staying on top of all open files and is waiting for me to approve the update.It reads this way: (Blue column to the left with an eye-shaped logo and the word Viewpoint. The white section to the right says: You have been Updated. Your Viewpoint Media Player was recently updated with the latest components to enhance your web viewing. A new browser update is recommended, including advanced pop-up blocking and graphically enhanced search. Then there is a clickable button saying "Update" Below that there is a note that says: Note: There is NO Restart required. It gives another clickable button that says More Info and a line that says Who is Viewpoint? This takes you to a description which includes the "fact" that they are a NASDAQ company that provides internet graphics and delivery technology to Fortune 500 companies including AOL, GE, GM, etc. This did not make me feel better.

My Windows media player is not working. The online video is also not working. It's showing "cannot create directshow player". Also there is problem with my internet explorer. The Javascript is not working IE. The javascript option is enabled in internet options. On Experts advise from forums I tried registering javscript dll but it fails to register.

When I play a DVD or MP3 with Windows Media Player 11 (WinXPproSP2) the movie plays but there is no sound. There is audio if I use WinDVD or Real Player so it is not a hardware problem.

I'm running win XP SP2 and using media player 11. Every couple days I completely loose sound when playing mp3 or movie formats, although system sounds are working and on device manager my audio devices are working properly. So far I have solved this problem by continuously re-installing my audio driver.Can you help me with a more "permanent" solution?I would also like to understand if at all possible what is causing it.

So i am having some problems here. It is nothing big, but, it bugs me because i am so organized with my laptop. When i have windows media player running, and i utilize the taskbar for windows media player (put the little play, forward, etc in the taskbar), it creates a gap at the bottom of my taskbar of about 10 pixels of grey. Everything gets pushed up, it is wasted space. Now here is the wierd part, when i go onto my desktop (right click) - properties - appearance - advanced - "active title bar", it is set to size 18 with size 8 font. if i change this, apply it, then chnage it back to the way it was before (18 and 8), the little grey bar will dissapear. But once i restart windows, i have to do it all over again
