  • Why Windows Media Player doesn't open my files

    I am running Windows Xp Pack3 of SVC. "When I try to open attachments downloaded widow Windows Media Player pops up informing me:" the selected file has an extension (.pps) or (asx) or (pdf) that is not recognized by Windows Media Player, but the player may still be able to play. "Because the extension is unknown to the player, you should be sure that the file is from a trustworthy source.

    All my emails are close friends and relatives, which means that the files are trustworthy.

    Hi j.k.glissmann,

    · What is the email client or webmail you are using?

    · What is the attachment file extension?

    · How do you open the attachment?

    · Is it by double-clicking or you choose open with option.

    According to the error .pps .pdf are powerpoint file extensions, adobe. And these files are not supported by media player.

    Media Player supports: .asf, .avi, .wmv, .mpeg, .mpg, .m1v, .mp2, .wav, .snd, .au, .aif, .aifc, .aiff, .asf, .wm, .wma, .wmv, etc.

  • Windows media player won't recognize that my cd/dvd burner, so will not burn anything even if during 3 years, until now

    Windows Vista operated computer that has worked well so far, now Winsows Media Player does not recognize my burner. Tried to do the upadting for my burner,

    but said that everything is up to date, can someone help me?

    Hello

    You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
    correctly.

    Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.

    CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
    tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

    This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
    a shot.

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

  • Windows Media Player doesn't recognize the phone error"is not a connected device: for synchronization

    For months, Windows Media Player recognized my Samsung Galaxy SIII without problem. For weeks now, however, he is not picking it up. My computer detects the device when I plug it in, and made my phone. But when I try to sync the music on my phone, Windows Media Player says that I don't have a device so sync is not an option. In addition, there is no option in advanced settings on the Synchronize tab, so I have no idea how to solve the problem. Manual and automatic synchronization does not work.

    Hello, Olivia,.

    Thank you for keeping us posted.

    Even if the phone is recognized on the computer, sometimes bad or corrupted SD/flash card card can cause this kind of scenario on Windows Media Player. Try to disconnect the SD card and check if the Player sync with the phone. Also check if another device appears under the list of devices in Windows Media Player. For troubleshooting, you can also uninstall the software of the phone (Samsung kies) and reinstall them.

    Please let us know if the problem still persists.

  • Windows Media Player is lagging during the game and songs to jump.

    Just today, my Windows Media Player started acting odd. When I play a song, it will appear to freeze, but after 5 seconds or so, it starts to play. It's the same thing when to jump tracks. She also takes about 5-10 seconds to stop playback when I hit the break. When it does not freeze, he says 'Changing Media' in the lower left corner. This problem does not occur when I use a reading list, it is quite normal, it doesn't seem to be a problem when reading my library. I don't have any problems with other media players, such as iTunes or VLC player.

    I've been looking for a solution online and most of the people with a very similar problem to mine fixed by disabling audio enhancements, but this has not worked for me. This problem has just appeared from nowhere. The only recent change to my computer is a new keyboard, a Logitech G15. I've hung yesterday evening and was listening to music without any problem. But when I turned on my computer today, I was greeted with this problem. I plugged my old keyboard, thinking that he could be the problem, but still no solution.
    I'm out of ideas. Any idea of what the solution may be? If this can help, my computer running an AMD Phenom II X processor 4 955 with 8 GB of RAM and my sound is crossing a Radeon 6850 through HDMI on my monitor.
    Thanks for any help.
    [EDIT]
    I just noticed that Windows Media Player stops is when I close. The window closes, but I can always see it used in the process, and I have to close it it so that it can turn off completely. Do not know what is causing that.

    Nevermind, I finally thought to it. The software for the keyboard activated something called "windows media player gadget for windows sideshow. This seems to be causing the lag. I went to the Windows Sideshow and disabled options program for my keyboard.

  • Windows Media Center won't add DVD files to its library which do not affect the disk C on Vista

    Hi people,

    I had Media Center works well with more than 104 GB of movies in the library.

    I ran out of disk space and a 1.5 TB drive was added to the system.

    Once this new space has been initialized, I moved all film to him records and updated the path in Media Center to 'Look' that new folder.

    Media Center can no longer see or read these films.

    I deleted all the files associated with the WMP 11 app (APPDATA\Local\Microsoft\Media player to rebuild the DB but no difference.

    Does anyone know how to activate the Library Media Center pull in DVD files outside the C drive?

    I just found the answer in an article at www.paraesthesia.com/archive/2008/09/12/how-to-set-up-a-dvd-library-in-windows-media.aspx

    The library 'Add folder' does not work in the Menu 'Settings' of Media Center.

    On the other hand, it works via a right click on the window of DVD library.

    IE: when you're in the Livrary DVD, right-click and choose Add movies.

    This is a bug not documented in Media Center!
