  How can I change the music button on my keyboard to launch Windows Media Player to launch WinAmp?

  Thank you

  Drew

  As Mike Hall suggested, first look for the keyboard utility and seek to change the keyboard assignment there.

  If this option is not available, you can try to change the default program to open files of music. I do not think that "hotkey" keyboard music trying to specifically open Windows Media Play, rather it opens the program assigned as the default value for the music.

  So you'll need to get to the default programs control panel applet. To get there:

  1. Click Start , then Control Panel (in midway up on the right side)
  2. In the Control Panel window, click programs (not options, just the word more big programs). (If you have your set control panel to displayall items in the Panel control, then the applet default programs will be already visible and available directly)
  3. The second group of options should be the default programs. The two options here that should be of interest to you are:
     Make a file always open in a specific program type and (especially) set your default programs.

  You should find everything you need there.

• Failed to start Windows Media Player - Version problem

  Hi all

  When I try to start Windows Media Player, I get the following error:

  the wmplayer.exe file has a version number of 12.0.7601.18526 where 12.0.7601.17514 was expected

  I used WMP on this machine before with no problems, probably most recently about a month ago. I have automatic updates on so I don't know exactly when this problem started. I tried to uninstall/reinstall WMP, but this has not led to no success.

  Here, any help would be great.

  Thank you

• wmpkc32.exe and 0xC00D1199 error code when I start Windows Media Player

  Original title: wmpkc32.exe

  I run Windows XP.and my PC shows 0xC00D1199 and wmpkc.exe at different times or places. Are these interdependent? This happens when I want to launch Windows Media Player.

  Hello

  -Did you change your computer, after which the question began?
  -What version of Windows Media Player do you use?
  -Does the problem occur when you try to read a particular file or type when you launch Windows Media Player?

  wmpkc32.exe process belongs to malware and may violate your privacy. Please, scan your computer and remove potential threats using the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

  Note: You may lose the infected all data by eliminating malware.

  0xC00D1199: cannot play the file

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file because:

  1) you try to play a file that is NOT supported by the player.

  2) you try to play a file that the player does not support, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is NOT supported by the player.

  3) the file type is supported, but you try to play in a way that is not supported by the player. For example, you may have attempted to drag a DVD file with a .vob to DVD to Windows Media Player icon.

  I would recommend look you at this article and check if you play the file meets the criteria.
