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
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 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''
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.
not have system sounds played while I'm listening to music. On my old (and I do mean old: win98, 64mb ram, etc) computer when I listened to music my system sounds were muted, which was really nice. My old computer had an older soundblaster sounds card. My new computer (xp home) has onboard sound and when I listen to music I still get to hear all the system sounds, etc (ie, cards being dealt in solitaire.) Did it have something to do with my sound card on my old system?
WinXP Home SP2 Asus P4P800SE Intel P4-478 2.4GHz 1024MB RAM MSI GF FX5200
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.
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 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.
Whenever i go on a website which requires Adobe flashplayer windows explorer corrupts and shuts down.Also i am unable to play any media ie music or films on any player as these corrupt and shut down. Sometimes the computor just totally shuts down and reboots itself.I really need some help sorting out these matters.I'm sorry if i'm a bit vague but i'm not very computor literate but i will try my best to supply any info.
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.
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.
In my windows XP pro SP2, i disable the sounds in sounds and audio devices in control panel. but still i heard the sound when clicking on folders in windows XP.
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"
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.
i have a problem with windows media player, whenever i try to play a video, it says play at the bottom left hand side of the screen but nothing plays, audio, or video, what do i do?
I have just reinstalled XP to my computer and everything is working well except I have no sound. I have tried CD, radio and just the PC all with no luck.
the problem is that none of my windows xp system sounds work. if i go into the control panel to try and change the sound schemes, the preview button is grayed out. i also do not get any audio in realplayer or any web sites that use flashplayer like Internet. however windows media player and winamp both seem to be working fine.
My computer was having problems where it would keep on reseting its self at the windows xp screen so i reset it to time it was last working right but now for some reason i have no sound i went to my computer makers website downloaded the audio driver and still no luck. When i go sounds and audio devices it says i have no sound device also when i go to device manager and check the sound one it has no question mark or anything.
I own at Pentium 4 XP Home Edition PC. Recently, I lost all of my default system sounds--like boot up sound and closing sound. The sound card is okay, because I can play CDs, listen to Real Player and otherwise get sounds.
I have gone into the sounds and audio devices properties panel and don't seem to be able to set it to play the sounds. The test button works the sounds fine, but I cannot actually activate them!
I have troubleshooted by surfing the web, installing various supposed registry fixes. I have also read the Microsoft data base articles that seem to pertain.
I no longer have any system sounds i.e logon, logoff. checked 'Sounds and Audio Devices' in control panel possibly where problem is all other sounds work okay. However in 'Sounds and Audio Devices' on Audio TAB on Sound Playback Default Device is Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio normal. On Sound Recording Default Device is Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio normal. But MIDI music Playback Default Device is blank? Dropdown offers two choices but when I close it and re-open it is blank again I've tried taking TICK out of "Use Only Default devices but when re-opened is back in
I have lost my system sounds, a game's sounds, and internet sounds. Itunes, WMP, and e-mail sounds work just fine. I have updated Adobe Flashplayer and downloaded K Lite Codec Tweak Tool.
I have checked every setting I know of but nothing seems to get my system sounds to work. This all started when I upgraded from W98 Snd. Edition with new mother board memory and hard drive. Have also installed all SP2 updates with no other problems.
At boot up everything seems ok, the nice WinXP jingle plays and all is right with the world. At this point I can play MP3s, video files, and games and the sound works ok. Now occasionally (more often than not) the screen does a very strange refresh about 2 to 3 minutes of the computer being booted. Any open widows and the task bar reverts to Windows 98 look (grey with the old fasioned functionality boxes at the top right of an open window) then as quicky as it changes it all changes back again (say less than half a second) to WinXP look.
After this point only system sounds will play. Now if a programme already has access to the sound device then it works until it is shut down. Anything that tries to access the sound device after this fails to (itunes says there is an audio config error, WMP says that another programme has access to the sound device). I guess whatever that refresh thingy is it is stopping any other programme accessing the driver or preventing the driver to be released to other programmes.
I have become quite irritated by the various strange noises which happen at a "system event". I have found the dialogue box where additional events can be added to the sounds but I cannot see how to turn off the ones already there. I do not want to use "mute all" on the volume control as I frequently listen to music. Any suggestions welcome. While in that area of the screen, I want to remove some of the icons. The dialogue box is set to "always hide" the offending Icons but they are still showing.
I've literally just started having problems with my computer. Sporadically I have lost the ability to right-click, sometimes whenever I do so on either a folder or on an application, no little menu comes up
Also, when browsing through folders, the loading starts to become very slow and sometimes the blue menu at the side of the window isn't there at all. When I click on images to preview, or folders to open, sometimes nothing happens at all and the window just remains the same.
ALSO whilst trying to open some applications I get the error pop-up sound, but no error message box comes up to tell me what the error is. It just makes the noise, and I close the half-loaded application without it crashing (This happened with Photoshop, Adaware, Outlook Express, and once with Sonic RecordNow - all started loading, the error noise was heard, and the program left half loaded or missing parts) I've tried again and it seems it's all hit and miss like the other symptoms...sometimes i'll be able to right-click normally, sometimes i'll be able to browse files normally, sometimes programs will load, but the problem still (at random moments, it seems) arises again.
When Alt Ctrl Delete -ing, either nothing comes up and an error noise is heard, or the little window with the information does come up, but the desktop behind it flickers as if constantly reloading very fast.
The only error sound in which a box popped up, was one telling me "xvidcore.dll was not found". I clicked OK and everything reloaded as if windows explorer had crashed (the start bar, desktop etc).
I haven't done anything as of now, too scared to restart, or try and open any applications it might not like. I can't be exactly sure when I started to have problems, as I leave the computer on for days at a time sometimes (it's been running for about four days this time, about three days is normally the maximum) because I use BitTorrent a lot seeding and downloading.
