• Windows Update don't load/Windows Media Player does not start

  On XP Home Edition SP3, the last week I not was able to get the Windows Update page to load.  There is no error message, IE8 seems to think that the loading of the page and there's code, but a blank white page in IE8. I discovered this problem after finding that Windows Media Player wouldn't start - again without error message.  I look in Task Manager, the wmplayer.exe process runs for a few seconds, then disappears.

  I have run a number of analyses of malware using Avira Free edition (now uninstalled), Spybot S & D, MalwareBytes Antimalware, Windows Defender, and Microsoft Security Essentials with no result or change.

  I reset IE8 to its default settings and now find that I can't choose a search engine or view other pages on the Microsoft support site, such as http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=assistance--il displays only the banner from the top on a white page. (I write this using Chrome).

  Other posts on the forum about the update or Media Player starts does not seem to be on other versions of Windows, and I've not found anything about problems at a time.

  Someone else met this kind of problem?

  Thank you

• Windows Media Player only recognizes the song titles when they are imported from itunes, imported in the form of wav files.

  Hi, I imported/ripped music in form of wav files using WMP first and imported into itunes so that I can sync w / my ipod but itunes recognized only the first words of the music info (generally the number of song, title, ect). ITunes would allow me to change the info. So I decided to import my 7 000 more songs again using itunes, in the hope of finding the songs via watched folders to WMP. Well, that was the case, but he only identified the song number and the title. Now, I have a long list of other/unknown.

  I can get information in WMP via "Find album information", one song at a time, but that would take forever. I imported 318 songs to date. I use wav files to maintain the quality of the sound.  Can someone tell me an easier way?

  Hi MarkyB13,

• Why/how Omegle (Online Chat Service) shut down Windows Media Player when I start a video conversation?

  Basically, that's all... I'll be listening to a song and when I start a new cat, WMP is paused. It is not that the volume is assigned to Omegle, the pause button is selected on the application. Weird!

  Hello

  This may have conflicting settings, then I would say allows you to check for room sound/alerts options in the Messenger and check to see if those who are arrested.

  You can also run the troubleshooting Windows Media Player Settings Troubleshooter and check if it helps.

• Windows Media Player does not start

  When I click on Windows Media Player it does nothing and does not open

  Try to restart the PC and check if the problem persists after restarting.

  If you create a new user account in the control panel and log in to this account, WMP opens here?
