  Hello

  Unless you have an "N" of Windows 7 edition, you must have Windows Media Player. If you have an "N" edition, please visit:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/is-is/Windows7/products/what-is-Windows-7-N-Edition

  For more details and a download link.

  The case, first try to find the executable file for Windows Media Player and create a new shortcut from that.

  1. open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer).

  2. navigate to:

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Windows Media Flash

  3. find the file named wmplayer.exe and then right-click on it and create a shortcut on the desktop.

  4. test the shortcut.

  If the above does not work, try:

  1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

  2. click on programs and features.

  3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

  4. look for the entry called multimedia features, expand it, and then * check the box next to Windows Media Player.

  5. click on OK.

  6. restart the PC.

  * If the Windows Media Player box is already checked, uncheck it, click OK, restart your PC then do steps 1-6 above.

• Software BlackBerry BlackBerry Link cannot display Windows Media Player library

  Hello

  BlackBerry link shows me an empty m usic library even if I have thousands of tracks in my Windows Media Player library. There was a time, it worked, but since a month Blackberry link displays a message: "there is no track in your Windows Media Player library. I reinstalled the software a bunch of times and have always chosen the Windows Media Player - not have iTunes installed. All other functions operate.

  Anyone an idea what to do?

  Thank you very much!

  Kilian

  Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64-bit)

  BlackBerry link 1.2.3.48 (32 bit)

  BlackBerry OS 10.2.1

  Windows Media Player 12.0 (32 bit)

  Solved it myself:

  I deleted the Windows Media Player library database (= all files in the C:\Users\NAMEOFTHEUSER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media drive) - therefor I had to close all programs (all programs BB, the wmplayer and wmplayer network service). After the removal of the database, Windows Media Player has revamped its database and link BB finds the database.

  Best regards

• Cannot remove Windows Media Player 12 library

  I want to remove the entire library in Windows Media Player 12 (running Windows 7) so I can start over with a new database. With previous versions of WMP, it was simple - I get the Media Player folder in the Local environment and remove all files (leaving the files). Now when I try to do it I get the message "cannot complete this action because the file is open in Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. Close the file and try again. "How can I do this?

  Hi red high Mahoney,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forums.

  Make sure that the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service network service or Windows Media Connect does not work as follows:

  1. click on start and then click on run
  2. in the run box, type services.msc
  3. in Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service or Windows Media Connect (WMC) and then verify that the status column is started
  4. double-click on the service and click on the Stop button, change the type to disabled startup
  5 restart the computer.

  To reactivate the function repeat the above process, by clicking on the Start button instead of the stop and change the type of startup to automatic.

  Now try to delete libraries.

  Also temporarily, try to Disable Antivirus and firewall programs and check if the problem persists.

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
