Lately I get the following message if poster every time that someone sends me an email with an attachment. I use to be able to display up to a few weeks before. the message is - Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to read, burn or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.
Does anyone have an idea on how I can display these attachments?
Thanks for your help.
Hi fredleon,
· What is the email client or webmail you are using?
· What is the attachment file extension?
· How do you open the attachment?
· Is it by double-clicking or you choose open with option.
a. save the attachment to the office,
b. right-click on the file and select open with the option to open the attachment according to their file extension.
Example: If the .docx file extension, then it is word document or .pdf, it's Adobe.
You can get the extension of a file by right clicking on the file and go to properties

Original title: laptop won't read the music files stored on external hard drive
I have an old Compaq laptop Windows XP, so it was out of memory I transferred everything on a Portable Seagate (500 GB) hard drive and started to access it. It's worked well for over a year, but lately, began to stop playing my music files. Absolutely everything on the hard drive opens, however, images, files and folders, but when I go into Windows Media Player, it pops up with this error message:
Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to read, burn or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.I have not modified parameters or anything that moved. I used to be just able to restart the laptop, or disconnect and reconnect the hard drive and it works again, but now it or not will be not at all, or it will cut off half way through a song and then not to play anything more.I can't find any support for this problem because the phone reads that the hard drive is there, and everything else works. Only the music doesn't. I tried to play music on a connected USB and it works fine. I'm so confused!Hi lkm0293,Here are some articles that you might find useful: -

Original title: WMP "can't play wav or midi.
Using WMP 11 on Windows XP SP3.
Windows Media Player has somehow forgotten how to play wav or midi files. Doubleclicking either of these file types give an error "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. " There is a button 'Close' and 'Web Help' which still informs me, "you met the C00D1199 error message... ". ». Following the advice given nothing less than useful.
I can easily play these files with RealPlayer or VLC so I don't think it's a driver problem, and it wasn't a corruption right after installing the other players. WMP seems to work OK when playing music or AVI. And there is no harm to hear a sound (wav or midi) in Windows for various system events. Have already uninstalled/reinstalled WMP without result.
Thanks for your reply.
I have since determeined the problem comes from an updated codec package I installed a few weeks ago. These codecs were from Shark007 which I believe is a Microsoft MVP. Use the codecs from this site for a number of years without any problems so I did not initially suspect it was the source of the problem. I uninstalled the codec pack and installed K-light package and everything seems to be Ok now. Now, I'll be in contact with the members of this forum.

Can someone help me how to solve this problem. Thank youMay be that the video file format is not compatible with Windows Media Player.
Options: -.
1] download and install VLC Player. It's free and supports file formats more than WMP.
2] download and install the codecs
Personally, I prefer VLC Player-if you have that then not need to download and install the codec of any third party.
