• No reading DVD with Windows Media Player

  WMA crashed

  I used to use Nero on my old computer. I built a new computer and bought Vista and liked the use of Nero I installed it on Vista. During the installation it windows warned me that there is perhaps a conflict if I installed it. I went a head with him and of course, there was and nero would not work. I tried to uninstall it and was able to complete the removal of the program, because it has a conflict and stops. At this stage the WMP always worked very well. Recently, I installed a DIVX player... not by choice... I wasn't thjought I DL update or something, not a media player and pay any attention to any. So I removed the player and now I can't watch a DVD in my media player more. He tells me that windows media player has stopped working. I send the reports to help set and have nothing in return as in to solve the problem

  What are my options? Thank you!

  Hello casey_,

  Thank you for your response.

  In addition to the Bindu response, you can also try to perform a restore of the system to an earlier point before the installation of the program, and then check the issue. For more information about the use of system restore, please see the link below: System Restore

• Unable to read the .avi files with Windows Media Player 11 on XP

  Original title: Media player upgrade was worse than basic
  I recently updated my Player multimedia media Player 11 and now it won't play movies from AVI file that I used to be able to play easily on the outdated version. Why is this?

  Hello

  Do you have an error message when you try to play with Media Player AVI files?

  When you try to play a file that uses a codec that is not installed on your computer, Windows Media Player attempts to download the codec from a Microsoft server. If the
  Codec is available, the Windows Media Player installed on your computer, and then bed file. However, if the codec is not available on the server (for example, because)
  the codec not created by Microsoft), Windows Media Player displays a message that your computer is missing a codec.

  In some cases, the file you want to play uses a codec that is not available or compatible with Windows Media Player. When this happens, you may be unable to use Windows Media Player to play this particular .avi file.

  You can consult this article for a solution:

• Burn a CD with Windows Media Player

  I tried to burn a cd with windows media player.  I think that it is version 11.   I put the songs I want to burn on the right side where it says to put them.  I use a cd cd - r Phillips.  He'll burn 3 or 4 songs, and then eject the disc.  I tried several times and it does every time.  Any advice on how to burn the entire list of songs.  There are 15 I wanted to put it on disk.  And it's an 80-minute drive, so there is a lot of time on them.  I lost a few disk already so any advice would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Rita

  you have to 'turn off' the ' auto eject and auto burn / rip "feature for your cd device.

  in this way the cd will stay "unburn" and can accept more files.  later, when you have copied all the files on the cd, then you can manually run a ' burn / rip.

  try to go to the menu bar of media player file.  then, under Tools > options there should be a tab to customize the "rip" where you can change the ejection and extraction methods.

  regarding as to why you seem to only be able to copy multiple files at the same time, it is probably due to low resources on your system.  Maybe you are low on memory or disk space when you use the media player.

  so, you could try to just use the Explorer to transfer files on the cd.

  You can open the Explorer and then find the folder that contains your music / song files.   then as with any file, you can drag and drop them on the cd or use other methods that you want to copy files from one place to the other.

  also, most computer come with specialized software that is designed for your device to computer and cd model.  This software will be has features to copy files to the cd, and will also have the necessary controls to fine-tune the device cd and windows to play and the extraction of files.

  Finally, it has been my experience that about five years of cd home-made, even if you buy the best cd for recording as those made with layers of gold and those with false promises that they last forever...

  Unlike the cd music that we buy at the store, the method that we have with the computer is not industrial strength and something happens to the layers inside the House made conference that degrade over time.  I have studied this issue carefully and I just to let you know about the phenomena.  (I almost lost some one of a kind songs where the group no longer exists or their albums.  I actually have the only copies of these songs in particular in the world)

  in any case, certainly keep copies of your music on the hard disk. You can also store copies of your music on the site of skydrive from microsoft for free.
