• What happened to the Windows Media Player toolbar?

  I recently downloaded the Windows 7 RC and all my programs and all that work very well, with a few exceptions, but that is because I get all my programs on another partition and another thing is that I didn't see the option to use the windows media player toolbar. In windows XP and Vista, you can set it so that when minimize you WMP, all control buttons appear in the taskbar. Now on Windows 7, it doesn't happen and I don't see an option to do so. I know that you can set it so that there the samll box and it will always stay on top, but which takes place on my monitor. I liked it much better on the task bar. Nobody knows what happened to the toolbar, or is my version of Win7 Glitching?

  -Windows 7 RC Build 7100.

  The tools for Media Player toolbar has been removed because in Windows 7, you can control the media player using Aero Peak of the taskbar. When your mouse on the icon in the taskbar with multimedia and the WMP player narrowed down to the taskbar, the peak flyout box will appear and you can control the media here.

  attempted fixes:
  1. in options from files of the variations of tab - all reviews of checking / unchecking "always show icons, never thumbnails" and "show previewhandlers in the preview pane. the first has nothing to do with this problem. However, the 'show previewhandlers...

When unchecked the poster preview pane a thumbnail with the icon of the program it is supposed to open, in the present case, WMP, this correction allows the preview of the PHOTO but NOT of VIDEO.

• Why Firefox 5 will not see the Windows Media Player Plugin?

  Hello useful Mozilla expert,

  When I click on a link to play a standard WMV video in Firefox 5, in the movie player window it is said 'Click here to download the'.

  When I click on 'Click here to download the plugin' in Firefox 5, I get a panel of Firefox that says I need to Windows Media Player 11, but I already Windows Media Player 12 and the browser Firefox WMP plugin installed on this computer... it worked fine in Firefox 3.6.

  If I then click to install the Windows Media Player 11 plugin, it goes to another Firefox sign that says: ' no plug-ins have been installed, Windows Media Player 11 - no available '. Then, there is a "manual install" button, and when I click, it takes me to a third party plugin site called 'InteroperabilityBridges.com' which has a plugin Firefox WMP dated April 2007 available.

  Here is the link he gives... http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/Windows-Media-Player-Firefox-plugin-download

  When I check my Panel "programs and features" in Windows 7 on my control panel, I can see that I have already installed something called, "Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin" installed and it is dated 10/24/2010 and it is version 1.0.0.8

  Despite having already the required plugin installed and showing in my control panel, programs and features, this WMP plugin does not appear on my plugins Firefox 5 Panel. So I tried to re - install with the installer of origin and available to the above URL Setup (they seem to be the same, except my installer of origin has a date of 2010).

  I also tried the 'fix' option in the setup of the plugin... it still does not appear in Firefox 5, nor this browser will play a WMV file in the integrated test related troubleshooting page plugin Mozilla WMP player, or other pages that embedded the WMV players.

  So the question is, why is Firefox 5 demanding I install a Windows Media Player plug-in older, version 1.0.0.8 of 2007 when I have already installed...? and why it won't work?

  I went through all the troubleshooting information in Mozilla and go to the page dedicated to this subject and nothing works...

  http://blogs.technet.com/b/Port25/archive/2007/04/16/Windows-Media-Player-plug-in-for-Firefox.aspx

  What is the solution? The upgrade again for the 3rd time in the last 2 months, this is not an option... I'm tired of going through all the difficult steps of the upgrade and find what has changed and rejected another upgrade of the browser Mozilla and re - install plugins, extensions, modules and customizations and repair everything that does not work, as I always do now with Firefox 5.

  It seems that as soon as I get most things squared away in a new browser from Mozilla, then they came out with three new releases, so when I'm still struggling with the FF5 version (as I am now) there will be version 9 I get annoying constant 'reminders' upgrade to.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Flash Player and Windows Media Player are not interchangeable.

  Like many things on the web, the Flash Player local storage can be put to bad use. This does not necessarily mean the Flash Player without scruples or bad product - it's the sites Web/people who abuse of this (depending on your point of view).

  You can configure Flash Player to block local storage on your computer. This does not necessarily all the features of Flash Player - for example with my set of Flash Player to block local storage I can still see videos on YouTube.

  The controls for the Flash Player local storage can be found here: *

  Start-> Control Panel-> Flash Player (32-bit) (Tab instorage )

  There is a good explanation of privacy and local storage of Flash Player here:

• Songs do not appear in the Windows Media Player library

  WIndows Media Player 12 adding not songs

  I got my new PC with Windows 7 this afternoon and more than 10,000 songs completely copied into the My Music folder.  None of these songs will appear in the library of Windows Media Player 12 songs. My Music folder is one of the libraries of WMP to default save location.  Only 3 songs are appearing in the library, and those are the three on the Public Music folder.  Yet when I add a song to the public music folder, it is added to the library. Then when I close WMP, and re - open, we are back to 3 original songs!  I spent an hour with HP support tonight and didn't get anywhere.  I tried the system restore.  I tried to restore the library.  I think that my WMP is maybe damaged.  Any thoughts on what I'm missing here?

  I read this on another topic, try it.
