  Please relay the e-mail program you use.  You can also try to save the file directly on your local computer, and then check if the file is being read correctly. If there has been any recent codec package installation, you can also try to temporarily uninstall the codec package and then check out the question.

  I get the error Windows Media Player 11.0.6001.7007.  "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file.

I can read a file and then 10 minutes later the same file will not play.  Sometimes after the error message, if I don't click Close, the video is not yet but the audio will not.

  I'm on a laptop HP DV5 with vista 32-bit and 4 GB memory such that shipped HP (Yes, 4 concerts and 32-bit).

  I don't know if it was related, but IE7 would continually fail to open, click on through the windows and should be completely closed.  essentially the WMV and IE are fails miserably on this laptop, and it was only 6 months old.  Firefox fixes my problem of browser.

  Hello SUNCITYDAVIS,

  ·         Remember to make changes to the computer (hardware or software) before having this problem?

  ·         Do you get this error during playback of all media files or any size of file in particular?

  ·         This happens when you play multimedia files stored on your computer as well?

  The error indicates that there could be some missing codecs for the file format, you are trying to play with Media Player.

  You can see the article that will give you information about the codecs:

  Solving problems in Windows Media Player (Applicable to Windows 7)

• I get a message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem" when I browse me videos.

  When I browse my library of videos in Windows Media Player 11 on Windows XP SP3, I got a message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close." The message does not appear immediately, but after about 5 seconds browsing my library of videos. The details of the error are:
  AppName: wmplayer.exe AppVer: ModName 11.0.5721.5145: deinterlace.ax
  ModVer: 1.0.1.0 Offset: 00001cba

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Someone just tell me how to solve the problem. Apparently, some corrupt videos caused Windows Media Player to plant as soon as thumbnails of the videos have been read. I quickly changed to a non-thumbnail view, so the error would not appear (it appears only when you try to load the photos), then deleted corrupted videos. Thanks for the help, if.

• Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close, heartbreaking.

  Recently, while ripping the cd to Windows Media Player 11 on XP Service Pack 3, I'm frequently getting the message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close."  It happens usually during the second or third disc.  I then close and reopen and am immediately able to rip the CD.  Sometimes the player will immediately be closed as soon as I click on "start rip."   Any ideas?

  The same thing happens if you rip to MP3 or WMA?

  Post here the technical details of the accident. Go to Start- run , type eventvwr.msc , and then press ENTER.

  In Event Viewer, access to the application log and look for an error in the list, there should be two entries for the last crash. Double-click on these two events and copy/paste their description in your post.
