Cannot read the videos more about media player for vista. Don't know what happened.

I get the following message: Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings.

Hi Austin 123.

1 when was the last time it was working fine?

2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

3. you are unable to play videos on the DVD? What is the file format of the videos?

(a) open settings display by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization, and then clicking display settings.

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

(c) note that some video card drivers do not allow allows you to change the settings.

(d) move the hardware acceleration slider to zero to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.

I hope this helps!

    Hello bestparlaywinter,

    Thank you for using Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    What is the file format of the video file you are trying to play? You may need to use the default program features to set the program you want Windows to use to open your video file.

    To set the default program to use the following steps:

    ·        Click Start > default program

    ·        Choose to associate any type of file or Protocol with a program

    ·        Select the type of file (video format) in the list, and then click Change Program

    ·        Choose the program you want to use to open this file (for example Windows Media Player), and then click OK

    ·        Click close to exit from this window

    Try to open your video file again

  • Cannot read the DVD with Windows Media Player

    Running WIndows Server 2008 R2.  Desktop experience is responsible.  In my view, that it includes Windows Media Player V12.

    Try to play the DVD.  The message "setting resolution".  Setting resolution does not help.

    Installed K-Lite Codec Pack full.  Get the same message on the resolution setting.  Uninstall K - Lite Codec Pack now I get ' WMP cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

    I'm a novice and dangerous, so no "step-by-steps" would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi MarkMann,

    Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for Windows Server on TechNet. Please post your question in the TechNet Windows Server forum.

    Hello raulganau, welcome.

    I suggest to try the system restore to restore the system to a date before the problem started. Try this...
    1. click on START
    2. click on "all programs".
    3. click on "Accessories".
    4. click on "system tools."
    5. click on "system restore."
    6 follow the instructions on the screen to restore the system to a date before the problem started
    Although the system restore does not target the personal data, I recommend always backup your personal data, just in case something happens.
    For reference, I have included a link that provides more specific information about the restoration of the system and how to use it:

  • Cannot read bittorrent movie on windows media player

    I downloaded a movie from Bittorrent. Scanned it and his own, how can I get Windows media Player to read?

    RS

    There is absolutely no way of knowing what has been added or lack of torrents.  They cannot be infected (or your malware can just missed it), but this does not mean that they have been downloaded correctly or have been completed.

    The other aspect is that you may need a codec for this particular file type.  What is the extension for it?
