Recently, I realized that I don't have Windows Media Player on this pc, which limit myself by doing a lot of options on my smart TV. I tried to install, but whenever I do, I get a message saying that it is not compatible with my computer, when I chose the right options for windows 7 64 bit.

I am trying to burn a dvd on windows media player movie, but all I get is a desktop file burned on the dvd and that's all what he'll do it just ejects and the session is over
Hi Barbara,
You can use the player to burn a mixture of songs from the library of the drive or your computer to an audio CD, after which you can play the CD in any standard CD player. Alternatively, you can burn files on CD and DVD data. It is not possible to burn the live streams, such as radio stations, on a CD or a DVD.
Follow the steps in the link below.

Windows Media Player cannot synchronize with the Sansa player. Sync button frozen
OT: Button of Windows media player is frozen
I have a sansa and I tried to synchronize new songs from Windows Media player but the sync button is frozen, it wont let me press the key.
Hello Natalie_Haaga,
1. were you able to synchronize this device with Media Player before?
2. is the player detected in Windows Explorer?
First check to see if the drive is detected on your computer. Try to copy the files of music from Windows Explorer.
Most MP3 players will appear as a "disk" on your computer, and you can browse the files on them by simply opening.
If you can do this, you should be able to copy / delete / move files between the MP3 player and the computer.
Also try to set media player to manually synchronize with Media Player. This article should help you with that:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/sync-manually-in-Windows-Media-Player
I also see that some users have been able to synchronize this by changing the settings of the player and set it to mass storage device.
I suggest you consult the manual on how to change this setting for mass storage device and to check if you have the same problem.
Thank you

HELP! Im not sure how it happened, but today, by using windows media player, I think that I leaned on my keyboard, by chance and somehow my icons have grown from small (such as 4 cm wide) to huge (as 9 cm wide). I put it on the "icons" option and always have. I tried to find out if there was a zoom button or something that would cause this happens on my keyboard, but there is not, it's just a standard keyboard. Then I tried switching modes, for "tile" of fashion, but they are huge in this point of view too, only 3 albums are now through my screen, when there used to be 6. I prefer them smaller, because it won't take long to scroll down threw them, I sense a tun of the music. I looked in the settings and can't seem to find a way to change their return. Please let me know if you have a solution for me! Thank you guys!
HI Branika,
Apology for a delayed response.
You can try this procedure and check if it retains the size original album art information of the media file in Windows Media Player:
- Open the media file in Windows Media Player. Click on the file and then press F4. Now the album art will not be displayed.
- Press the F4 key from the keyboard. This will reset the size of the info from the album. This works very well for a specific file. You can also choose to support those who don't have the default size and use specific keys to reset.
If this does not help, we will proceed with several troubleshooting steps ahead.
We will restore the size of album art using the registry change and check if it helps. Check out the link and follow the suggestions that are marked as an answer:
Note: Please make sure that you back up the registry files before you start the troubleshooting steps listed above.
Let us know if the problem still persists.

Just upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista and am having a problem with Windows Media Player 12 and its indexing. In WMP11, you could put all your pictures in your "My pictures" folder (so they appear in the Media Center) but then exclude it from indexing in WMP11, then it would not bog you try to index all things.
This option has been removed in WMP12. If you want images to appear in the Media Center, they must be included in your WMP12 library. (Even if Media Center does not use the WMP library to ALL display pictures - she designs per file)
Because I have thousands of photos and videos, this is a major problem at any time an Extender is turned on, because for some reason when you start an Extender it forces a new scan of all your media. It is in turn completely failed the system leaving the main centre of the media both all completely unnecessary extensions while CPU hits 100%.
So I have my girlfriend trying to listen to music in the bedroom on the XBOX360 giving me eyes stink saying "This sucks." and my daughter in the TV room to complain than his scooby-doo show "keeps skipping and stopping."
