• Error: Windows Media Player has stopped working

  Original title: WMP12 won't open - tried most things, but still broken!

  When I run WMP, it opens and then I get a saying of his stopped working.

  The event viewer shows the following error:

  I uninstalled the multimedia functions (under the contrl Panel > prgrams and features) and reinstalled - no fixed not

  I stop Streaming Windows Media Network Service and deleted all the files under the directory of the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media - new player did nothing.

  I ran SFC and although he finds something it does not solve the issue.

  I am now at a loss for what is the problem. Nothing has changed on my system for ages (beyond the Windows updates) so I think it's a corrupted file, but I do not know now how to solve this problem. Help someone? Books in the library and existing content once but I cannot add new records to the music, photos or film libraries as it says there is a problem.

  FYI - using Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit)

  I have not ran the regsvr32 cmd as administrator, so no luck there and I do not use WMP plugins of any kind. To be honest, I don't use WMP as the machine is purely a media library if 99% of the time that I can access via the MC7 10 ft UI.

  In any case - gave up on it and completely reinstalled from scratch this weekend and its working fine again. I just hope that the problem does not happen.

• Failed to retrieve CD - "Windows Media Player cannot find the file. ..."

  original title: rip for Media Player problem.

  My media player won't let me RIP cd in my library. When I try it gives me a box that says "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 thought that the solution may have something to do with me going in the rip settings > more options > and hit"change"under"rip music to this location", because the box under where I am assuming that the location will has nothing in it, but when I click on it it does nothing.

  Hello

  During the extraction process, the Media Player makes a copy of each song, stores it on your hard drive as a file Windows Media Audio (WMA) or MP3 compressed and then add it to your library. Check in the library, if the files are present.

• When you start Windows Media Player I get error: "Server execution failed".

  Hello

  When I try to start Windows Media Player by double-clicking an audio or video file, I get the error "Server execution failed" for this file. Can someone tell me what this means and what I can do about it?

  Thank you

  Christi

  Hi Christi,

  You may receive this error if you try to open a file media shortly after the closing of Windows Media Player (WMP).  When you close WMP, the user interface is closed immediately, but WMP continues to be in a State of "shutting down" for a few seconds, and the process is still in activity during this period.

  To avoid this problem it should be enough to wait a few seconds before Windows Media Player opens, 2 seconds at least.

• Windows Update failed: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT? What is my Windows Media Player?

  Error message reads as follows: Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because it is not possible to activate the analog copy on the output display protection. Try to install an update for your video card.

  NVIDIA is not my video card? And why it will fail to update?

  Here's how to upgrade your graphics card:
  
  You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.
  (1) open the Manager of devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  (2) in the Device Manager, find your graphics under "graphics cards", and then double-click the name.
  3) click on the driver tab, and then click set to update driver.
  The graphics card will now be updated.
  I hope this helps.

  I had the same problem and then by chance, I tried a video on YouTube and it worked for me. Here's how I went on this issue and solved my problem:

  1. go to the computer, then OS (C).
  2. you will need to open Program Files (x 86) and Program Files.
  3. go to Windows Media Player in Program Files (x 86) and open the folder.  Then, remove the wmplayer file.  You may need to work around the error TrustedInstaller.  I'll tell you that, in a moment.
  4. in Program Files, go to the same folder for Windows Media Player and select the same file again. Wmplayer.  Copy the file in another window open.  Copy ensures that if the question comes up again you can at least try to fix it again.
  This should be the end of your problem.  If you need to circumvent the TrustedInstaller question is how:
  1. right click on wmplayer and select Properties > Security > advanced > owner > Edit > other users and groups.
  2. Enter your username and then click on check names.  Click OK.
  3. close the dialog boxes as he has requested.
  4. open again the properties and click Security.  Select your username from the list and click on edit.  From there, select full control.
  This should give you full control over the removal of the original file for WMP and easily allow you to copy the other files (x 86) programs.
  Please let me know how it goes for your problem.
