corrupted by Windows media player

have a scanner on media player and said his corrupt, constantly uploading images, icons, images. How do I overcome this?

Hi carper08,

a. What is the analysis that you have conducted as reports of Windows Media Player to be corrupt?
b. you receive an error message?

You can re-create the database of Windows Media Player and see if that fixes the problem.

To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. click on start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player , and then click OK.
3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.

Note You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
4. restart Windows Media Player.

Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. click on start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.
3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the file menu.
4. restart Windows Media Player.

Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

I hope this helps. Let us know if you need more assistance.

  • Album of corrupted in Windows Media Player

    Hello

    I have a corrupt album which I can't delete from WMP. I removed from 'My music' in the Documents.

    When I try to play one of the tracks, a red cross put some focus tracks every time and a box arrives with "WMP encountered a problem when reading this file".

    I thought that I try and remove WMP from the computer and then reinstall it, but it seems that I can't do this.

    When I burn CD, they will not play on anything else, even if I have the box "Copy protect music" unchecked in "Rip CD" in Options.

    Any advice would be welcome.

    Thank you

    Open the troubleshooter in the Windows Media Player library

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-library-Troubleshooter

    Method2: It would be possible that the files in the directory that stores Media Player may contain corrupted data. Go to the following directory and delete all the files in the folder. Test if the problem recurs.

    %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player

    Note: Please save the contents of the directory first.

    Method 3: Reinstall Windows Media Player

     

    As a last resort, try to uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player.

    This version fixes most of the problems of corruption of Windows Media Player.

    Note that uninstalling Windows Media Player 12 also disables Windows Media Center because WMC uses WMP12 to its operation.

  • Windows Media Player 12 will not reinstall, corrupt the file 'mpvis.dll.mui '.

    I'm trying to fix Windows Media Player 12 without success.

    I tried 'turned on' and 'off' Windows Media Player via "Turn Windows features on or off"-there did not work.  It will not fix the problem, and I think I know why.

    I ran sfc/scannow from the cmd prompt gives me the following in the CBS.log log error message:

    [RS] Could not reproject corrupted file [ml:520 {260}, l:106 {53}] '------? \C:\Program files (x 86) \Windows Media Player\en-US "------[l:26 {13}] 'mpvis.dll.mui '; source file in the store is also corrupted

    I just took the 'ownership' of the file and replaced by a different copy on another hard drive that worked.  I have the journal and if the information is needed to solve this problem I'll post here apart from the above error message.

    Attempt to run Windows Media player only gives me the error message:

    "Window Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled.  You want to install the player from the Microsoft website? »

    I 'want' install the player on MS website, but they do not offer this possibility because it is nowhere available for download.  I have to say I am frustrated by this situation and I would like to know why MS decided to make this hassle to reinstall a program properly.

    I guess that's the only option.

  • Windows Media Player - corrupted library

    Separated from this thread.

    EIS,

    I am running Windows 7, 64-bit home etsur and have Windows Media Player V12.

    I have two big problems with WMP, the first is a library corrupt - I can not add properly

    files to the library.  The other problem is that WMP will not successfully "apply media

    Change information after I used the "Update Album Info" feature for albums that have been properly added. It evokes the

    bar of progression, says it is 100% complete, but there has been no change in the Explorer of W...
     
    As part of an attempt to solve the first problem I tried everything that follows, (not in this)

    ranking).

    Convenience store of the Player library run Media 1.).

    2.) run Media player troubleshooting utility parameters.
    3.) and then, if necessary, run [alt - t], advanced tool, restoration of the library
    4.) remove the WMP to force a complete rebuild - close WMP library database in the start menu

    engine search box type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in Windows explorer which

    seems to remove all files (but not the subfolders). See if that solved the problem.
    5.A) Unload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] activate Windows features

    on or off, multimedia, clear features checkbox Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.
    5b.) Reload WMP - control panel programs and features, [left] activate Windows features

    On or off, characteristics of media, select the Windows Media Player box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

    After 2). I thought that the first problem was resolved that 120 new albums ("unknown") have been

    successfully added, but I noticed that there are a few folders that were not added and

    cannot be added manually. Verification of the files that are included with the library management is not helping either. And the second problem persists.

    If you can offer any new help, I would appreciate it.

    Hi Steve, this is certainly the WAV format that's your problem. WAV is generally very bad marking support: WMP only WAV files tags once wrote during extraction, and they is not editable later. For more information, see

    http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/wav.htm

    There is no need to re - tear the relevant albums that you can only convert WAV files to another format using a tool like dBpoweramp. Recommended formats are MP3 or WMA Lossless if you do not want quality loss.

    My windows media player suddenly started acting weird (slow ripping time; doubling and tripling occasionally, content CD for example library). On troubleshooting, I repeatedly get two messages: 1) library is corrupted. (2) configuration settings can be setincorrectly. I get no additional guidance where to go/how to fix and I keep going round in circles with the troubleshooting packs. any ideas. I only used it for audio so far

    I have tried many suggestions for an error where Windows Media Player (WMP) would not play any music or video files after a reinstall of Windows 7 online.

    All the drivers have been checked for the latest driver in Device Manager after reinstallation.

    Update of drivers have been installed, if necessary,

    Not all files would play in WMP.

    Error messages have been the library WMP files were corrupt or configuration settings can be unruly.

    None of the suggestions online worked for me.

    Try the following:

    Right click on this web page and create a shortcut on your desktop at the top of the landing page after the reboot.

    Click on: start - type "device manager".

    Click: Device Manager

    Click on: "audio, video and game controllers".
