• Why the Elements 9 can't read a large .wmv file that plays well in Windows Media Player?

  I don't understand why a video clip of 42 MB that looks perfectly crisp and clear and play 'out of the box' in Windows Media Player seems to blur and "pixelated" in items 9.  It also does not work smoothly, instead she jolts in the first seconds of the clip, then stops. I thought Elements 9 recognizes the characteristics of the file and allows you to adjust its settings to play automatically.  I didn't have to adjust anything in Windows Media Player, it just has played, so I thought that elements 9 would know how to display and play as well.  Is there something I need to do to address the Elements 9?

  In addition to excellent suggestions of Neale, you will see an improvement in the results if you return your file.

• Error message: "cannot find this file" and songs seem to disappear from Windows Media Player 11.

  Original title: my songs seem to disappear from windows media player 11

  I make a playlist and some of the songs come with a "cannot find this file" dialog box I click on 'place to open the file' and the song is there but will not play. Help, I'm losing songs at an alarming rate.

  Hi Akledge,

  1. this happens only for songs with a specific file format?

  2. What is the full error message that you receive?

  3. have you made a recent software or hardware changes to the system?

  Method 1:

  You can try to start the Windows Media Player (WMP) Fixit from link and check if it helps:

  Solve the problems of Windows Media Player video and other media or library

  For more information, see the article:

  Error message when you type the name of a file to play with Windows Media Player: "Cannot open file."

  Method 2:

  If the problem persists, you can visit the article to rebuild the WMP library and check if it helps

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

• I deleted a single file from my Windows Media Player 11 library and now I want it in my library - how should I do this?

  Am running Windows XP and removed a single file of the library only (and not from the library and my computer) and can see the file in the folder, it can play in Windows Media Player by clicking on it in the folder, but can't find a way to 'restore' the file so I can see it again in my WMP library.  Any way to do this without rebuilding the entire library?

  Hi JohnEvergreen,

  Follow these steps:

  (a) open Windows Media Player (WMP).

  (b) access to the "library". Click the menu "file" at the top of WMP. Select "Add to library" and wait for the dialog box labeled in order to pop open.

  (c) restore files. Click on the 'Advanced Options' button in the dialog 'Add to library'. In the column "watched folders" make sure that the folder that contains your original music is selected, which is indicated in the column "Type" as "Rip folder. Look under the section "watched folders" and ensure that a tick is filled to "Add files previously deleted from the library." Click on the 'OK' button and wait for the dialog box "Add to library by searching computer" to open it.

  (d) in the look in dialog box "Add to library by searching computer" at the 'progress' bar, indicated by a green line moving from left to right; also, below, monitor the "found files" and "added files" account.

• Conflict Windows Media Player and the Zune software

  Most of the music on my computer is protected DRM I use Zune Pass Music. I'll start using my Samsung Galaxy Player so I'll need to use Windows Media Player (WMP) to sync music. When I open WMP, it is littered with all DRM from my Zune subscription content. I intend to keep my Zune subscription while transferring only the music I have on my Galaxy. Here is the problem...

  I want WMP to reflect only the titles that I will be able to transfer to my Galaxy. In WMP, when I click on organize > manage libraries > music and delete the folder music and select only the folder that contains the music I own, all my music disappears from my Zune software. When I go to manage Zune monitors records and I select the subscription folder that contains all of the DRM tracks, it fills again in WMP.
  How do I separate them so that WMP shows only the music, I am owner and Zune software displays both or simply DRM content?
  Thank you!

  Thanks for your reply, but it is WAAAY too complicated. What I did was to create a new folder and stored all the songs I have in there, and under the music tab added view > folders and now I just click on that particular folder to see all my purchased music. Initially, I tried, I tried (in the form of library) view > protected would be to click on it to show not protected, but I found that I had to do every time I open WMP. The creation of this new folder is much easier.

• Close programs to prevent the loss of information. Your computer is low on memory. You save files and close programs. Java (TM) Platform SE binary Windows Media Player

  Hello

  I keep getting the following error message, and leterally having my computer off over and over again, even if I added 1 GB of RAM (now 3 total RAM) mor and also added a 8 GB SD card as more power:

  Close programs to prevent the loss of information.  Your computer is low on memory.  You save files and close programs.  Java (TM) Platform SE binary Windows Media Player

  I did research on the various search engines to know that many face the same problem, with a variety of possible solutions, but so far, none work.  We suggest that I go to Regedit and change the permissions of the user and then delete the old files, after I import them.

  Needless to say, I am just a user and have just a bit of technical knowledge.  The local PC repair shop in my town has no idea what to do.  For anyone who has a solution to this problem, help will be greatly appreciated!

  Randy Kline

  First of all, unless you know EXACTLY what you do and WHY you do it. I personally recommend never do anything in regedit. I consider myself a moderate to advanced computer user and a moderate user of windows. And I always stay away from regedit, if I can, because you can seriously screw things if you don't know what you're doing... Although, to be honest most of the settings will not have a devastating drama.

  It seems to me that this is a memory leak in the program, you will get this error message to make sure that your computer will just crash, because if she is running out of RAM... Well it will crash.

  If you have a 2 and a 1 GB for a total of 3 GB, I recommend the upgrade once more and just round up to a nice 4 (this is the most of memory a 32-bit system can handle in total)

  Works of memory in a way that you see really only a few performance jump with memory dual channel, the only way to have that is really striking the rods of same in each slot.

  There isn't really a reason that this happens every time, except that simply your computer is low on MEMORY, when your computer says this means RAM, not disk memory storage area.

  If you clean your computer of the programs you never use and stop using windows media player (itunes is better in my opinion, even if you don't have an ipod), you can see an improvement, but to really isolate the problem, I recommend simply opening your task manager as soon as you start your computer (ctrl + alt + delete usually gives you the option or it opens directly) otherwise you can do start-> RUN taskmgr.exe , OR type taskmgr.exe in the search box and press on enter.

  Then, look at the column of memory as I said it sounds like a program has a leak, and you will see that is because memory will begin at low/normal and then numbers just keep climbing...

  Also, make sure that your computer recognizes all 3 GB or RAM. in Task Manager if you have access to the performance tab, under physical memory must be a thing called Total, 3 GB = 3074. If this is not an option in your reason, you can go under Accessories/System Tools system information (on the start menu). (may take a while to load) but on the home page, you should see something that indicates the amount of TOTAL PHYSICAL MEMORY. You want to read this / 3GB or 3074 MB.

  Hope this helps some!

  I recommend to remove all programs, you are ready to, especially those that you never use. Do a complete uninstall. Then start installing windows clean (download google) just to make sure that the program has been removed. then go start--> run msconfig OR just type msconfig in the search and click on go (I don't know if you're running XP or Vista/7)

  In the msconfig dialog, you should see a section that says startup. Don't forget to remove programs that you do not first. Disable startup programs, you use every DAY. Don't go turn off all if windows needs some process to run, and some processes don't effect anything. But if you're curious, you should be able to google all of startup items and see what it's related to and why you do or that you don't need.

  Good luck! Sorry, I'm everywhere with this response.

• Windows Media Player network sharing using 33% CPU resources

  Network Media Media Player sharing module chew cpu

  I have a problem to use cpu similar to others on the use of the CPU window media player.  I used process Explorer tool and concluded that the wmpnetwk process was continulally with 33% of the resources of my CPU, even when the media player is started.  Media player itrself use about 20-22% cpu when it is open and put a media is underway, which is all the time. MY PC has a CPU triple heart so it is a pretty big piece of the CPU!   I tried all of the fixes suggested without result.  It is perhaps a more unique problem.  I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 vista premium 64 premium, but not to install a clean (delete all).  Found a number of problems related to the user's requests and reinstalled them.  As media player and media center are part of the operating system apparently I can't do that for them.  This JUST started happening.  Is it possible the update did something?  Also, I have a laptop with windows 7 preinstalled and won't have the same problem.  I look at this turning point multimedia and Media Player off and setting adobe media player as my default until someone can come to a better suggestion.

  Quick update.  Player use and cpu just off center media and the media is back at a low level.  Remains to be seen.  Why wmpnetwk use so much cpu?

  In fact, I found that my step can be a little higher and quite tedious.

  You can actually do the following which allows to save time! Wmplayer.exe is responsible for managing the shared library, wmpnetwk.exe share this library on the network(Please correct me if I'm wrong here)

  1. Open Windows Media Player and remove all monitored folders and close Windows Media Player (for me Windows Media Player became unresponsive after he consumed more than 300 MB, so I closed it by force), open it again with an eye on the Windows Media Player (wmplayer.exe) process to ensure that the CPU is acceptable.
  2. Add a tracking of file in Windows Media Player.
  3. When the dialog box opens showing the progress of the files added to the library, keep an eye so it gets stuck for a long time (about 2-5 min +, normally, you will find that the memory usage begins to boost quickly) and take a note which folder/sub-folder it got stuck on. (It is a good indicator that a file in this folder may be corrupted), if the dialogue ends while watched folder has no problem.
  4. If there is a problem with step 3, close the dialog progress, remove this folder monitored, close Windows Media Player and move half the files in this folder that you noted to another folder not monitored . Repeat steps 2 through 4 until the watched folder performs its search.
  5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until you have added all the files in Windows Media Player.

  I don't know why there no code in windows media player to check if corrupted files, but it is definitely a leak memory in the application and I hope this will be corrected my Microsoft soon!

• Music in Spotify, iTunes and Windows Media Player

  Well, I tried to use my programs of music on my computer for about a week and a half now, and that they won't play all my music. Not at all.  I went to support these programs, but they did not really help. I also checked to see if any of them were incompatible with my computer, which iTunes was the only one, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the version 64-bit for Windows 8 and still nothing.

  I don't know if it's the sound of my computer, which I don't think it is, because it works for everything else except these three programs. And I have no idea why, and frankly, it's getting boring. I also checked my device manager and my sound system and everything is working properly.

  Anyone who can help and give me some answers on this as soon as possible, it would be greatly appreciated!

  Hi K.J.Kirt,

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

  (a) output Windows Media Player.

  (b) click Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

  (c), select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  (d) restart Windows Media Player.

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 2: If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  (a) output Windows Media Player.

  (b) click Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

  (c) select the folder Media Player and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  (d) restart Windows Media Player.

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 3: When you move digital media files on the computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in the library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in the library if you select the automatically add to the library when played. As a result, the library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.

  To prevent music files to be automatically added to the library:

  (a) in the Player Windows Media, on the Tools menu, click Options.

  (b) in the Player tab, clear the checkbox Add music files to library when played .

  Now, when you play music on your computer or Internet files, the file will not be added automatically to the library.

• I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

  DVD decoder not installed?

  I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.
  A few weeks ago, I played DVD on my computer. I would like to know what is happening. Any ideas/suggestions?

  I tried to play one of the same DVDs I played before... same message.  Nothing to my knowledge has been removed from my computer and I'm the only one with access... "very confused.

  Thanks if anyone can help.

  Yes, and if you install the utility on your system, you'll see all decoders.

  The utility will also tell you if a decoder is compatible or not.

  Using Media Player version 10 or 11?

  the utility tells me I have no decoder... the only thing I can think is that if I actually deleted it... I rarely remove anything because I do not add a lot... but it is possible a few weeks ago, I have to get rid of some things (I'm quite cautious because I'm not an expert).   It is the Media Player version 11, I was trying to use... but I rebooted now 10 to see if there was something to update related that mess.

  because I used the VLC Player successfully, I have not yet tried Windows Media Player (since WMP reloading and load the codec pack)

  So great to have the entry of a person who knows what he's doing.  Thanks again. I will try the Windows Media Player later and see if I have his use of return.

  Have a great day!
