I have a (I hope) a small problem with WMP and wav files. I've fixed a similar problem a while back but I've forgotten how :-).I can't play any wav files with my player. I get an error message that reads the following "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."The funny thing is I can play the wav files in other players like winamp , quicktime and mplayer classic. Also read this when I try in wmp 10 "C00D1199: Cannot play the file Windows Media Player cannot play the file. You might encounter this error message for one of the following reasons: The file type is not supported by the Player. For a list of file types (formats) that are supported by Windows Media Player, see Supported file types. The file type is supported by the Player, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the Player. "
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?

I have a couple thousand midi files broken into smaller folders. I click one to play with Media Player or there was a link that said PLAY ALL. That doesn't appear anymore and I have to keep selecting tunes each time one ends. I looked in the window drop downs but can't find how to bring back PLAY ALL.

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.
I have a Windows XP with a 2.66 Pentium 4 and 786 MB of RAM. I am working on a slideshow using PowerPoint and I would like to insert some sounds. The MIDI Sequence files will appear to play but no sound will come.
Whenever I playback mp3 or wma files I get the the music playing okay but the vocals are either muted or muted with a lot of echo. It seems like a software preference choice eg bathroom or hall setting or maybe a karoke type setting but I can't find out where it as been applied. How do I get my players to play the files in a standard manner?
I have an HP 3GB Pentium 4 computer. WMP has a lot of static watching AVI movies. It plays music and Quick Time Movies just fine. I thought it might have been a speaker problem since the volume is very low on one speaker. Switched speakers and the one with more volume moved to the other side. I may have a speaker problem, have to burrow a pair from a friend. However I played the same AVI movies but used Real Player and DIVX Player and they played with no static. Since WMP will play mov or quick time and mp3 files but not avi without static it has me confused. I may need new speakers but I'm guessing it won't solve my real problem.
I have just started experiencing this problem after installing a new backup hard drive. I am searching a large folder of mp3 files to copy to my mp3 player.Periodically and seemingly at random the folder I am searching through resets.That is it blinks and shifts back to the top of the folder.So I then have to remember where I was and find the place that I left off.
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 am Looking for a good program that will let me (If it exists) take AVI files, and burn them to a DVD for play in my Sony home DVD player.Can this be done? I would like to be able to watch these files/Movies on my TV set, using my DVD player.

I am running Windows XP Pro and my WMV files will not play in Windows Media player. Sound is OK but the video is just garbage.I copied the WMV file across to my notebook and it played OK in Windows XP Home in Media Player.
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?
In the past I have had no problem playing video files on my Windows Media player 10. Now, all of a sudden I cannot see the video but I can hear the sound. This is also the case with the two other players I use - Real and VLC. Having discovered the problem, I have downloaded some codecs from http://www.free-codecs.com/K_Lite_Co...k_download.htm in case the codecs are corrupt but it makes no difference.
recently i did a system restore to fix some problems that came up after my siblings used my computer. before the system restore i could play avi files no problem, but afterwards the media player can only play the sound.ive tried several movie players such as divx, windows media player, klite movie player, and vlc. all of them can play the audio but not video.i updated my divx codec and downloaded a new fddshow codec but it didnt work. k-lite codec pack comes with a whole lot of video codecs to play any movie format, but it still doesnt work.
I don't like most of the online video players, but love my desktop media software. I've found that web sites add these files to the Windows Temp directory, but Windows won't let me play them from there, move them, or even copy them to paste somewhere else
On my Dell Inspiron 700 laptop, (with intel integrated graphics) wmp crashes when playing wmv files. The laptop is running windows xp home with sp2. I have no problems using winamp playing .wmv files. I have tried upgrading to IE7 and installing Windows Media Player 11 and it does not resolve it. I even tried uninstalling wmp 11, and then uninstalling/re-installing windows media player 10 and it still doesn't fix the problem.
Whenever i try to play some of my video files (.avi, .mpg. wmv. etc) my shell and media player will both crash. For shells i have tried both bblean and standard explorer, media players i have tried are windows media player, winamp, and bsplayer. It dosent actually crash the program, it just brings up the little "this program needs to close" thing. if i drag it to the side the video will continue to play (somtimes). somtimes the videos wont load at all.
