need help with Windows media player library
I have duplicate in my media player library files, probably because my drive external hard drive letter changes when I turn it on and based on what I plugged my USB ports. Is it possible that I can get media player to update my library and remove the duplicates that exist no more. I don't want to have to do all the one at a time and try to guess which ones are duplicates and those that are really
No guarantees...
This method worked for a user who has posted a similar question. I can't find the thread more, but I gave this person the following response...
Open WMP > tools > Options > Library tab > under "Automatic media information updates for files,", put a dot blue radio 'Add only missing information ' (if the blue dot is already there, UN - dot, then re - a point it) > OK
Hope this works for you as well.

Burning a slideshow on CD with Windows Media Player. Photos will not be displayed!
I have a slideshow of photo .wmv (set to music with image transitions) on a computer that I am trying to burn a CD with Windows Media Player. Photo slide show appear correctly on the computer. However once on the CD, read in a CD player, plays the part of the music of the slide show, but none of the images are displayed.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Windows Media PlayerI have a problem with windows media player. I have a green and a blue flashing thick vertical line. And also a green line below horizontal. Why?Help!Hi bjorn81,

Hello.
I don't know what I clicked at all initially, but now, most of my programs have been converted to open it with Windows Media Player, so that they cannot work.
Even when I click on the system restore (to undo changes I've done previously), Windows Media Player opens and there will be a window that says that you can not read this .exe file.
I'm stuck and I don't know how else to solve this problem. Help, please!

No reading DVD with Windows Media Player
WMA crashed
I used to use Nero on my old computer. I built a new computer and bought Vista and liked the use of Nero I installed it on Vista. During the installation it windows warned me that there is perhaps a conflict if I installed it. I went a head with him and of course, there was and nero would not work. I tried to uninstall it and was able to complete the removal of the program, because it has a conflict and stops. At this stage the WMP always worked very well. Recently, I installed a DIVX player... not by choice... I wasn't thjought I DL update or something, not a media player and pay any attention to any. So I removed the player and now I can't watch a DVD in my media player more. He tells me that windows media player has stopped working. I send the reports to help set and have nothing in return as in to solve the problem
What are my options? Thank you!
Hello casey_,
Thank you for your response.
In addition to the Bindu response, you can also try to perform a restore of the system to an earlier point before the installation of the program, and then check the issue. For more information about the use of system restore, please see the link below: System Restore
If the problem persists, please relay the error message received when you try to play a DVD with Windows Media Player, and if the problem occurs when you try to play the DVD or single.

Hello
I recently haven't been able to burn a CD with Windows Media Player (he worked last week, but not now). I get an error message "Windows Media Player cannot find the file. The link between the library item and its digital media file associated with may be broken. "Try to fix the link or delete the item. There is a web help option which says that to fix a link, you click on the blue icon next to the item, then click "Browse this article. But the only icon I see is a little blue triangle next to individual songs in the library pane or list, there is no icon next to the name of the playlist. Although the click with the right button on the blue triangle gives me a few options, "Browse this point" is not one of them. Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong and how can I sort it please!
