Please try this: click the button start , click Control Panel, click programs and features, and then click turn on turn Windows features on or off.

• 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.

  Hello

  Thanks for your reply.

  The audio tracks I have in my playlist in Windows Media Player (which is recorded as tiny .wpl file in my music folder Windows by default) cannot be burned to a DVD using Windows DVD Maker.

  In creation of Windows DVD, when I click on "Add of Items", I get a message saying "\Music\Playlists\myDVD.wpl is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported.

  An advise, please?

  Thank you!

  =======================================
  For importation into DVD Maker... you need audio / music...
  the. WMA format is preferable, but others may work as well.

  Check your music folder and see if the current music files
  are archived here.

  The .wpl as 'myDVD.wpl' files are Windows Media

• Windows Media Player Version 12 new problem rip CDs: no album info.

  I use Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 Home Premium OS V..  I was rip CDs to this computer for years without any significant problems and have hundreds of CD in MP3 format in my library of music.  When I recently tried to rip a new batch of CD, the albums were coming all up as 'Unknown' album & artist, "track 1, track 2,... and follow n for the titles of the songs."  After the investigation period, a pop up window would come saying "Windows Media Player cannot download information on the media for this CD... "What has happened to WMP and how to fix it?

  HI - the first necessary check is if nothing has changed after a recent update for the media player (you may remember being asked to set your preferences) view of library in WMP go to 'organize' - 'options' and check that internet access is authorized and in the privacy, the "online display media information" tab is checked. If these settings are correct, then we will study more deeply... Thank you - r.
