Get a fixed image and audio while playing a movie in Windows Media Player, also get the message: "network is too busy to read the file to its original quality.

Original title: Windows Media Player

When I go to play a movie using windows MediaPlayer all I get is an imagwe again with audio and this message 'network is too busy to read the file to its original quality. Also, all my other media playing programs read the video but are rather "lag". I think the problem is that I already used a program to download torrents called 'BitTorent' and maybe this has used up all my bandwidth or processing speed? Not really sure but would really like it if I could still use WMP and I'm looking for resolution to my problem?

Thank you

Hi Jeremy,.

It seems that you have problems with playback of video files in Windows Media Player.

1. what operating system do you use?
2. this happens with all the videos?

If you use Windows 7, here are a few troubleshooting steps that you can try.

Method 1: Try to run the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-settings-Troubleshooter

Method 2: If the problem persists, try to disable and enable Media Player and check.

Step 1: turn off Windows Media Player:
a. go initially and in search type 'Turn Windows has or not'.
b. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
c. find multimedia and uncheck Windows Media Player.
d. restart the computer.
 
Step 2: Enable the Windows Media Player:
a. go initially and in search type 'Turn Windows has or not'.
b. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
c. find the multimedia functions and place a check mark in front of the Windows Media Player.
d. restart the computer.

For more information, see the article:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-features-on-or-off

Method 3: Try to re register the wmp.dll file and check if it helps.

a. log on as an administrator.
b. click Start, type cmd in the text box Search , right-click on cmd.exe, click run as administratorand then click continue.
c. at the command prompt, type regsvr32 wmp.dll, and then click OK.

    Original title: laptop won't read the music files stored on external hard drive

    I have an old Compaq laptop Windows XP, so it was out of memory I transferred everything on a Portable Seagate (500 GB) hard drive and started to access it. It's worked well for over a year, but lately, began to stop playing my music files. Absolutely everything on the hard drive opens, however, images, files and folders, but when I go into Windows Media Player, it pops up with this error message:

    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 have not modified parameters or anything that moved. I used to be just able to restart the laptop, or disconnect and reconnect the hard drive and it works again, but now it or not will be not at all, or it will cut off half way through a song and then not to play anything more.
    I can't find any support for this problem because the phone reads that the hard drive is there, and everything else works. Only the music doesn't. I tried to play music on a connected USB and it works fine. I'm so confused!
