For some reason, all the applications I opened and I mean never alone, he goes straight to Windows Media Player.
It's obviously a real problem since there are many other things that need to be done that WMP is unable to manage. Any ideas on how I can fix this mess? Even the icons on the desktop have changed to a certain type of music format supports Windows Media. Help, please?
Thank you very much.

Hi I have a problem connecting to the internet. When I click on the internet it goes straight to windows media player.
HI Maria,
If you are using Vista, go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll down to EXE and click or double-click it to run the program to restore EXE file associations. Once done, do the same for LNK entry. This should restore your programs and get the Internet icon to go to the internet rather than WMP. If you use Windows 7, go to http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. If you are using XP, go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm.
If this does not work and it started recently, try a system restore to a restore point BEFORE the problem started. If you use Windows 7, see:http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html. If you are using Vista, see:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. If you are using XP, see:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial56.html. If the first attempt fails, try an earlier point or two because the problem may have started before you noticed.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

original title: WMP9 re-setup
Hello. I use XP SP3 with all post-SP3 updates critical. Windows Media Player 9 does not work. When I try to reinstall, I'm stuck: the 9xmigrat.dll of file on (unknown) you need to type the path where the file is located and then click ok. I like WMP9 and do not want to use a newer version of WMP. I was not able to find 9xmigrat.dll
This happens when I try installing to wmp.inf.
If I try to install the MPSetupXP.exe, it does not either.
Any ideas? TIA
Thank you, David. It seems that the problem was caused by incorporating the updates for WMP9 using nLite. I made another CD of installation excluding these updates. A clean install of XP SP3 and WMP9 is working. Thank you for your response.

Hello
I keep getting the following error message, and leterally having my computer off over and over again, even if I added 1 GB of RAM (now 3 total RAM) mor and also added a 8 GB SD card as more power:
Close programs to prevent the loss of information. Your computer is low on memory. You save files and close programs. Java (TM) Platform SE binary Windows Media Player
I did research on the various search engines to know that many face the same problem, with a variety of possible solutions, but so far, none work. We suggest that I go to Regedit and change the permissions of the user and then delete the old files, after I import them.
Needless to say, I am just a user and have just a bit of technical knowledge. The local PC repair shop in my town has no idea what to do. For anyone who has a solution to this problem, help will be greatly appreciated!

First of all, unless you know EXACTLY what you do and WHY you do it. I personally recommend never do anything in regedit. I consider myself a moderate to advanced computer user and a moderate user of windows. And I always stay away from regedit, if I can, because you can seriously screw things if you don't know what you're doing... Although, to be honest most of the settings will not have a devastating drama.
It seems to me that this is a memory leak in the program, you will get this error message to make sure that your computer will just crash, because if she is running out of RAM... Well it will crash.
If you have a 2 and a 1 GB for a total of 3 GB, I recommend the upgrade once more and just round up to a nice 4 (this is the most of memory a 32-bit system can handle in total)
Works of memory in a way that you see really only a few performance jump with memory dual channel, the only way to have that is really striking the rods of same in each slot.
There isn't really a reason that this happens every time, except that simply your computer is low on MEMORY, when your computer says this means RAM, not disk memory storage area.
If you clean your computer of the programs you never use and stop using windows media player (itunes is better in my opinion, even if you don't have an ipod), you can see an improvement, but to really isolate the problem, I recommend simply opening your task manager as soon as you start your computer (ctrl + alt + delete usually gives you the option or it opens directly) otherwise you can do start-> RUN taskmgr.exe , OR type taskmgr.exe in the search box and press on enter.
Then, look at the column of memory as I said it sounds like a program has a leak, and you will see that is because memory will begin at low/normal and then numbers just keep climbing...
Also, make sure that your computer recognizes all 3 GB or RAM. in Task Manager if you have access to the performance tab, under physical memory must be a thing called Total, 3 GB = 3074. If this is not an option in your reason, you can go under Accessories/System Tools system information (on the start menu). (may take a while to load) but on the home page, you should see something that indicates the amount of TOTAL PHYSICAL MEMORY. You want to read this / 3GB or 3074 MB.
Hope this helps some!
I recommend to remove all programs, you are ready to, especially those that you never use. Do a complete uninstall. Then start installing windows clean (download google) just to make sure that the program has been removed. then go start--> run msconfig OR just type msconfig in the search and click on go (I don't know if you're running XP or Vista/7)
In the msconfig dialog, you should see a section that says startup. Don't forget to remove programs that you do not first. Disable startup programs, you use every DAY. Don't go turn off all if windows needs some process to run, and some processes don't effect anything. But if you're curious, you should be able to google all of startup items and see what it's related to and why you do or that you don't need.
Good luck! Sorry, I'm everywhere with this response.

How to copy the existing playlist on a sitck Flash USB or an SD card in Windows Media Player?
In WMP v12 on Windows 7, I can sync music from my library (Albums, etc...) without problem to USB Flash Sticks and micro SDHC card etc. And I can copy Playlists on my MP3 player, no problem. However I can't copy playlists on any USB Flash stick or SDHC micro card. How is that possible?
Hello
· What is a normal playlist or AutoPlaylist?
Method 1:
Check if the sync settings are correct. To do this, follow these steps.
a. open Windows Media Player.
b. click the arrow below the Sync tab, point to the device and then click Advanced Options.
c. the Properties dialog box for your device is displayed. Tab sync, box start sync when device connects checkbox.
d. restart the media player.
e. the next time you want to sync, connect the device to your computer, click the Sync tab, and then click Start synchronization.
For more information, please see the link below: set up a device to sync in Windows Media Player:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/set-up-a-device-to-sync-in-Windows-Media-Player
Method 2:
Add a device to sync in Windows Media Player and see if it helps.
a. start Windows Media Player and connect your portable device into a USB port on your computer. A box of "Windows Media Player ‑‑ Device Setup" appears, showing that he recognized the device and provides an opportunity for you to name your device.
(b) read how the player will sync your device, which is directly under where you type the name of the device. If storage of the device is more than 4 gigabytes, for example, and your library on Windows Media Player fits on this device, the player chooses automatic.
c. selection of automatic syncing means that your device will reflect all your Windows Media Player library and it will do so that whenever it is connected. Click on "Finish".
d. to synchronize only some of your library when the player chose automatic, you can choose what will sync when you open Windows Media Player. Click on the portable device in the right pane and drag the items you want to synchronize with this device.
e. selection of a manual synchronization indicates that the player has detected that the portable device has no place for your entire library. Click on "Finish". Open Windows Media Player, select the portable device in the right pane and drag the items you want to synchronize with this device.

Help, please
Hi garykholden,
Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.
Windows 7 is Windows Media Player default 12. You can cross fade music in Windows Media Player 12 as well.
Press the Alt key to display the menu bar, then go to view menu to select improvements in the menu dropdown. The next option to highlight are:
· Fade-chained volume and auto leveling.
Another method to display enhancements menu in WMP12 is to click on the list on the upper right to display the playlist, and then click the button at the end of the Playlistpane and then go to enhancements menu item to display all the options available.
Kind regards
Amal-Microsoft Support.

I recently visited a Chinese social media Web site. Since then, many sites does appear as pages very, very long time Chinese characters. If I look at the page source, it's just a string of characters some very, very long time. It is not all sites, but it's a lot and apparently randomly. This problem only affects Firefox – the sites load properly in Chrome.
I tried to empty the cache, but has not made a difference. I deleted all cookies, but no luck. This seems to be different from all other 'random Chinese characters' problems, but I wonder if anyone has come across this before. Seriously, I don't know what is happening. As I said - only affects Firefox, although I visited the Chinese site with Firefox and Chrome.
Please read this article to see if it helps. The Chinese site might have changed somehow your character encoding settings and it didn't come back to your original one:

Hello
- What version of Windows are you using?
1. it is possible that you are missing the codec to play the file or it is clashing with other codec files.
2. the link provided below lists supported by Windows Media Player file format.
It does not list the AVCHD or. MTS files supported file format directly:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/3169923. yet we cannot be sure at this point that the issue is due to interference with some files.
Method 1:
Alternatively, you can perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem.Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.
Please refer to the below of the help links on performing a system restore.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/system-restore-frequently-asked-questionsMethod 2:
You can determine which codec was used with a specific file; read the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On thefile tab, look at the Audio codec and Video codec sections.Then you can uninstall any installed codec and install that you need to do the job file.
If you have several codec for the single file to work they can clash and cause problems.
