  How to fix windows media player... Read message videos... "Windows media player has stopped working", so I can't play the video. I can play music, however.

  Michael

  Hi Michaelgdr,

  1. the problem occurs with all videos?
  2. What is the file format of you play it?

  I suggest you to reduce hardware acceleration for windows media and (if supported) graphics card player

  I suggest you to make Windows Media Player as a default player.

  You can also change the hardware acceleration and check.

  Try to reduce (or turn off) video hardware acceleration by doing the following

  a. open Screen Resolution by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, and then, under appearance and personalization, clicking
  Setting screen resolution.

  b. click Advanced settings, click the Troubleshooting tab and then click change settings.

  Note that some video card drivers do not allow allows you to change the settings.

  c. move the hardware acceleration slider toward none to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.

• Express Media Player stopped working after Windows recovery with partition

  Hi people

  I'm new to this forum. We hope to get some tips on your part I recently got a laptop A100. It comes with the Media of Express Player (EMP) installed. Given that my HARD drive is 160 GB, I need to make a few partition to protect my data should WinXP crashes and needed recovery. I used Toshiba Windows restore CD to restore windows to a 40 GB partition and set up the other as an extended partition. This is the final State of my laptop after that.
  C: 40GB (contains WinXP)
  D: ~ 108 GB (for my data)
  I can see an unknown partition of ~ 250 MB, which is for EMP. I turned off my PC and turn it on using the button of the EMP. It did not work! EMP does not start. Can you guys advise? Anyone tried the partition their HARD drive and for the EMP to work?

  Hello

  Usually, if you want to use the functions of player Media Express that the Mediaplayer Express Recovery CD should be performed before performing recovery of recovery, DVD-ROM.

  You know you can't run Express Media player after performing a recovery!

  But it seems that you have not formatted the disk around and packed only the extra partition. Eventually, you n t need to reinstall the drive Media Express.

  I studied a little more on the technical knowledge of Toshiba and found this:

  In rare cases, Windows XP starts instead of the Media Express Player

• Windows Media Player not working, help?

  OK, I got this computer from a friend of my father.  Of course, I wiped it clean and reset it because the man had forgotten to do before giving it to my father. I didn't have too many problems with it and more; the often the bombardment of ads, slows down a lot, really bad high heating. After a while, however, I managed to get fixed.

  But my real problem is that last year, my Windows Media Player started acting really crazy. It would freeze and become unresponsive, it is impossible for me to do something with it, even if I try to scroll to the bottom of the page. It has gotten to the point where they would stop working all together if I open the program. For this reason, I have no choice, but to go through my Windows Explorer, make a playlist of fortune on a folder and play my music/movies from there.

  I thought to download another Windows Media Player and remove the old, but I don't know how to do and what file to get.

  Need help please, I'm really tired of seeing the white screen.
