Having a problem with my Windows Media Player... Help!

I've been ripping CDs from my husband for more than four years and now starting to have a problem with it.  All of a sudden I can record a cd and it works very well and a minute later, put in another and it says cannot save.  What gives with that?  It is not at all an error state.  It does not is not an error for this good state.

I went to see what I could find and came across a site (don't have a clue right now that that) who said that I should connect to the internet.  Huh?  I don't know that I recorded at some point without the use of the Internet.   Although I ran into a problem with the names of the songs that were not correct on some of the Conference on disarmament, but don't remember if I was on it or not.  So I went on the internet... same thing... still won't save.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Sometimes things just die. I recently discovered the disk drive in my computer laptop just spits discs now and it is about 4 years older. I still used it a lot and for the first time in a year, wanted to watch a DVD. Well.

Before dealing with Geek Squad, you can just buy an external USB CD/DVD drive burner and use instead.

  • Problems with error Windows Media Player, that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

    We have a computer that is running Windows 7 and (I think) Windows Media Player 12.  When I start ==> all programs ==> windows media player, the program starts and it seems to work.  It is a work computer, so no video or audio file is saved.

    We have an online seminar that the user wants to participate in, and when we click on the link to get the webinar, an error message appears saying that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

    We use Firefox (version reasonably updated, but do not know which) for internet.

    I used the "fix it" tool on the website of Microsoft, but that does not solve anything.  He said it sets some configuration settings.  I thought that maybe uninstall and reinstall it can work, but I can't understand completely uninstall because it isn't in my list of programs in the control panel.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for any ideas you may have.

    Nolan

    (Moved to programs)

    Uninstall and reinstall could be done by searching for and opening the option "turn on or off Windows features", but I don't think it will help.

    Instead, what you need is a Windows Media Player plugin for your browser (Firefox).

    But before you spend effort on it, I would test to see if it's really the solution.  Try to join your webinar with Internet Explorer (where the WMP plugin is built).  If it works, you can be reasonably sure to know how to make it work with Firefox.

  • I downloaded with Firefox; Windows media player plugin decoder and when I go to play dvd, windows media player tell me that my computer doesn't have a decoder installed.

    Hello

    Your MP3 player should have 2 settings - MSC that should allow the player to be used as a
    external drive and PSG that is the parameter to use to sync with WMP11. Remove the MP3
    and restart the computer. Change the MP3 in MTP mode - it power off and plug it in.

    I hope this helps.

  • Could not play South Korean DVD with my Windows Media Player

    Hello, I have dell vostro 3550, windows 7 Home Basic, i5. Whenever I try to play a DVD of Korea of the South with windows media player it says: "Windows Media Player cannot play video DVDs. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings"I tried several times but do not help. I also tried to uninstall and reinstall WMP and a set of CODECS installation but do not help. Please if anyone can help me with this. VLC player and other software free video player show no good subtitles of the DVD of the South Korea.

    Thank you..!

    Hi Jean Claude,

    The problem could be caused if there is no matter what third-party DVD decoder program is installed on your computer may conflict with Windows Media Player.

    1. is the specific question of the Korea of the South DVD?

    2. What is the format of the video file from the DVD of South Korea?

    3. are you able to play videos in Windows Media Player that are saved on the computer?

    4. have you made any recent hardware or exchange of software on your computer before the show?

    Follow the steps below.

    Method 1:

    If your computer has problems playing a DVD in Windows Media Player, try using the troubleshooting Windows Media Player DVD Troubleshooter to fix the problem. This utility checks the common issues, for example by ensuring that you have a DVD player and the correct DVD decoder installed on your computer.

     

    Open the Windows Media Player DVD Troubleshoot utility:

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

     

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to install any pending Important and optional updates by following the steps in the link below.

     

    How will I know if my computer is up to date? :

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-can-I-tell-if-my-computer-is-up-to-date

    Method 3:

    Uninstall any third-party player and check if Windows Media Player is able to read the DVD.

    Method 4:

    You will probably need to may download and install the third-party codec, because the format that the DVD can not be taken in charge in Windows Media Player.
