A video shows the 'windows media player 2 has stopped working ". How can I fix it?
When I click on the icon to play a video, "windows media player 2 has stopped working" is the only thing that appears. How can I fix it?
I have to go into the program to find the video. I didn't know that there was a Media Player 2. Would it not be better to download another drive to use? If so which do you recommend?
Hi Dave,.
1. What is the format of the video you are trying to play?
2 are you facing this problem only with a particular video file?
3. have you made changes to your computer recently?
I suggest to follow the link and run Microsoft fix - it and check if that helps.
Playing video files crashes or blocking Internet Explorer - Windows
I hope this helps.

Windows Media Player 12 has stopped working.
Windows Media Player 12 has stopped working. When I select an audio track and click on the play button, a red X appears next to the title in the playlist. I uninstalled and reinstalled the player, but also update the drivers. Checking the properties through the device manager says that the device is working properly, but this clearly isn't. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem would be welcome. As a matter of interest, itunes has stopped working at the same time. And audio tracks play fine in RealPlayer.
Thanks in advanceHello

Windows Media Player 11 has STOPPED WORKING... XP AND Vista problems
I have a home network with computers XP and Vista. Computer XP is Dell Dimension 4600. Vista computer is HP Pavilion Slimline.
On or about 6/10, WMP 11 on the Vista computer has stopped working properly. Video will not play digital video (mpeg format), previously working but playing the audio from the file and the timer updates the video plays.
Attempt to update the codecs (K-Lite). Didn't help... now, the native multimedia player K-Lite is the same way.
Deleting updates 6/10 and later versions. No change.
System restore of flowing it at 6/9, 6/5, 6/4. Restoration is back with "unexpected error". The logs show a NTFS corrupted and suggested chkdsk run. Filled with chkdsk c: /R with NO ERRORS.
Ran SFC/scannow on Vista machine. He said "no violation of integrity.
Today (6/14), WMP 11 on XP machine has stopped working. Videos will be running, but are extremely hectic, like something, it's stealing time CPU; However, the system idle process is higher than 90%.
What the hell is happening?
EDIT TO add: I want to stress something else... Movie Maker on both machines still work. Videos can be imported into and read correctly.
I had things market... Finally.
I have none of the above. I do not have the installation diskettes (OEM on a computer HP... no disks provided with the machine, have only the recovery disks that I made when I configured the system).
So until I went looking for a set of discs that I use, I did the following... and I * think * I know I could fix it, but I do not know...
I have re installed the K-Lite codec pack... only of video codecs. I essentially took the video installation by default EXCEPT... I turned off video acceleration. Intel Express Chipset not allow me to disable hardware acceleration by using its own GUI and Windows Vista would not touch parameters of acceleration as Intel ordered to them. Well, I suppose that K-Lite has been able to do what could not do Windows and Intel wouldn't let me do.
Don't know if that was the fix or not, but everything works now.

I have a desktop Dell Dimension running XP. I uninstalled Real Player and Rhapsody, just in case they were causing problems, but that did not work.
Here is what I noticed:
WMP plays still files were extracted a CD, the songs that were purchased from Amazon, but not:
-Downloaded free MP3s (once again the teleseminar recordings)
-WMA files that I downloaded (records of my seminars)
All this has played before. I can't put my finger when he started, although I think that things started to get weird when I downloaded itunes months ago, but I don't remember this particular problem from this time.
I searched the Web for similar positions, but found none.
So... any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thank you very much
DavidHello OutbackDAL,
Thank you for your message. There is an option in iTunes to convert all the songs to the .aac format. This might be the reason why you are not able to play in Media Player, because this format is not supported in Media Player 11. Right click on one of the songs that can not play and check the format of the song. If the song is the .aac format, you will need to convert it to another compatible format or .mp3. If the song is already in a readable format, you can watch download or install a new Codec. Sometimes, they have several players (that is to say real, Rhapsody, iTunes, etc.) can damage your Codec. You can get the Windows Media Player Codec from the link below.Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.See you soonEngineer Jason Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.
