• Windows Media 32-bit Player has stopped working with the error "failed to run the server.

  Original title: Windows Media Player does not start

  I am running window 8.1 on a HP laptop.  I have the two 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Media Player installed, I can start 64-bit with no problem, but 32 bit work do not.  When I try to play music directly I get the error "Server execution failed", I tried all the option provide fron uninstall and reinstall as has been suggested, but nothing helped.  I need to have the 32-bit to run or have the 64-bit by default. Help!

  Thanks for the reply, but after working with it, I solved the problem.

  1. rename the program (x 86) folder (32-bit) / Windows Media Player for everything you want

  2 copy the Windows Media Player folder in the Program Files (64-bit) folder and paste it into the program file (x 86) folder.

  3. This puts an uncorrupted in the default path, Windows Media Player

  This worked very well for me.  It also leaves a version uncorrupted for future needs.

  Sometimes simple is better.

• How to disable the pop up "Windows Media Player cannot download the information on the media... "after the extraction of a CD without activation of network connectivity.

  When I copy a CD with Windows Media Player, I get the message pop up after the investigation period is over: "Windows Media Player cannot download the media for this CD information. The other titles, artist, and album will be identified as "Unknown" in your library. For best results, connect to the Internet or manually add media for CD information. »

  I know that the message appears when I turn on the setting to allow WMP to connect to the internet to get information about the media, but I don't want WMP does. What I want is a button I can push on the pop-up that says "don't show this message again" (similar to the warnings seen in internet explore). How can I disable this pop-up window without activating the internet connection option.

  In case you're wondering, the data from the internet are incompatible in the naming convention so when I rip an audio book, so I can listen to my mp3 player, I can't completely post-processing script because not all of the disks in a set have a coherent on the slopes or even name the disc etc. At least drives marked 'Unknown' is consistent and so easy to script for the reduction to a single MP3 file.
