  Hello Nrbolton1,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Forum.
  Try disabling UAC.
  If the problem handles Disabling UAC uninstall all third-party plugins or codecs, sounds like a WMP plant where he has no administrator rights.

  How to turn off UAC?
  Click Start > Control Panel > accounts user and family safety > user accounts > select your username > then click on change user account control settings and uncheck the box. Restart your computer for this setting to take effect.

• cannot open a wmv file because a required codec is not available

  MacBook Mac OS X Version 10.7.5

  2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

  2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

  QuickTime 7.7.1

  Try to open a wmv file, I received the following message

  

  When I go to "Tell Me More", I don't find an answer there.

  Any suggestions?

  QuickTime no has ever himself supported the opening of the WMV files, it's always the case. There is a piece of third-party suppliers of software that can add this feature known as Flip4Mac, it was free to simply play WMV files but is now no longer free. (Microsoft in the past were subsidizing the cost of this software.)

  See http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/overview.htm

  Your other option is to use something other than QuickTime, in which case the free VLC software will do the job, you can get VLC here. http://www.videolan.org/

• Cannot open the WMV files.

  Just bought a new computer and when I try to download a file WMV, Internet Security explore comes up and asks me if I want to allow, click on allow and I get the message: Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  May not permissions to access you the item.

  When I click Details I get this message: name... Pack\MediaPlayerClassic\mpc-HC.exesource-MPC.HC@SourceForge

  CST: CodecPack\MediaPlayerClassic\mpc-hc.exe

  I found a download for Media player classic, but when I tried to download my antivirus (Kaspersky) came with a warning that the file was not signed and that it was a potentially dangerous download if I did not.

  Would appreciate any help I could get on it.

  Hi ramrod711,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community newsgroups

  Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  May not permissions to access you the item.

  The question stem also from your security program such Kaspersky or a /Defender of Windows Firewall which can have parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks and does not download the file. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.

  Important note: Ensure that the download comes from a reliable source and then disable the security software or allow the file to download.

  Hello Henry Michael,.

  Please relay the e-mail program you use.  You can also try to save the file directly on your local computer, and then check if the file is being read correctly. If there has been any recent codec package installation, you can also try to temporarily uninstall the codec package and then check out the question.

• Window Live Mail does not open the wmv files.

  Window Live Mail does not open the wmv files.  It comes up with an error that says: (wrong parameters).  Also gives the path that looks all wrong.  How can I change these settings?

  If I save the wmv on my desktop it will open, so I think that the file association is OK.

   
  1. download and save the attachment to the office.
  2. right click on the saved file.
  3. Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
  4. click on: choose [default] program.
  5. Select: Windows Media Player.
