• Windows media player does not work as no driver DVD

  Had to format drive (trojan) & reinstall Windows XP home. Now Windows media player does not work as no DVD driver download from Toshiba site?

  Hello

  Usually the Windows media Player is not able to read DVD movies IF no plugins were installed.
  To watch DVDs, you can use programs such as WinDVD or PowerDVD.
  These programs are designed for the DVD play!

  But you can also visit the Microsoft Web site and search plug-ins for Windows Media player.
  Then you can download and install to play a DVD with WMP

  Best regards

  I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: race AY014AA-ABA, Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Can someone help me?

  My easy key of Windows media player does not work and I have installed the package of value added. I don't know what's wrong all the other buttons seem to work well.

  When the VAP is installed this button should be enabled to start Windows media player by default.
  In any case, you can test the functionality if you set it to start another application.

  Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11, version 12 is sucks.

  Hello, Simone

  I'll assume you're on Windows 7. Windows Media Player 12 is not supported on Windows Vista or XP and as such, you will need to go back to Windows Media Player 11.

  You can check the permissions in the registry to ensure that it is able to record information.

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

  Open the registry editor by clicking on start, type regedit.exe in the search box and press on enter, you may be prompted to continue.

  In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, MediaPlayer, then Preferences.

  It should be an element named LastLocation_26, right-click on it and select Rename, and rename it to old LastLocation_26.

  Leave the open registry editor and open Media Player, then move it to your favorite place and close Media Player.

  In the registry editor, press F5 on your keyboard and check if LastLocation_26 has been recreated.

  If this is not the case, there is probably a permissions problem.

  If so, the location must be registered.

  Let us know.

• Windows Media Player does not recognize the device (iphone)

  I'm trying to download music from Windows Media Player on my iphone. I can get the files in the synchronization section but the Media Player does not recognize my device or seem to have a way to connect. Can anyone help?

  You will need to install iTunes. The iTunes Setup program adds drivers and services for the iPhone. That's what I do:

  1. Once iTunes is installed, it allows to import all the music in Windows Media Player.
  2. If you want to automatically download album art, you will need to register for an iTunes Store account. Otherwise, just copy the album art from Windows Media Player:
  a. at a command prompt, cd in each music folder.
  b. attrib s h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
  c. xcopy AlbumArt * %tmp% Large.jpg
  d. attrib + s + h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
  e e.. now, for each album in iTunes, right click and choose 'Get Info'. Drag & drop the corresponding JPG of %tmp% in the field "Cover Art" and click OK.
  3. connect your iPhone. Select "Manually manage music" on the screen of the iPhone.
  4. click on the icon on the left side of iTunes music. Make sure that all the music that you want to synchronize has an audit. (This is the default).
  5 Select and drag it to the icon of the iPhone.

• Windows Media Player does not support the codec used to compress the file.

  I can't do some of my videos to play it goes on to say that Windows media player does not support the codec used to compress the file. How can I fix?

  Hello

  What is the file format of the video files you are trying to play in Windows Media Player?

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

   

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

  (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  (b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

  Please see the bottom of the article that gives you information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

  If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.
