How can I find the current drivers for Windows Media Player?

When I try to open a file, I often get the message: your device uses an outdated driver is no longer supported by Windows Media Player.  Then, the file may or may not play.  How can I find the driver update.  I use Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP laptop.

The drivers you want are not for Media Player, they are for your laptop until you get all the details of your model and go to the HP website and download the latest drivers especially to render sounds and display adapter.

  • How to reset to the default settings for Windows Media Player

    I ran the troubleshooting and now need to reset the Player multimedia default settings how to do this?

    You can reset WMP the default settings in the Control Panel, programs, troubleshooting, WMP settings [WMP reset to default values]

    If that did not solve the problem you're trying to fix then perform these two steps [they are the closest thing possible to uninstall then reinstall WMP & will actually provide a new installation of WMP]

    1 unload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] turn on or off has Windows, multimedia features, clear box Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

    2 reload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] turn Windows features on or off, multimedia features, set the Windows Media Player box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

  • How can I play the audio stream with Windows Media Player 11 AAC?

    Hello

    I want to listen to a live stream of a Shoutcast radio station which is in AAC format. I want to play with my Windows Media Player 11 on Windows XP SP3. I still don't play. It seems that it is not supported by WMP 11, but if missing a codec, it should be automatically downloaded from Microsoft, since the option "Download codecs automatically" is checked in the options of WMP, and my security level in Internet Options is set by default.

    Y at - there a way or a codec plugin, so I can play the stream AAC on WMP 11?

    Thank you.

    Assem

    Orban AAC/aacPlus Plugin will allow WMP 11 to play AAC streams. Note that you have to replace the http stream with icyx URL part, so to read your example AAC stream, you must enter icyx://109.234.157.154:2012 in WMP, via file - Open URL... (press Ctrl + M, if you don't see the file menu). Tim Baets

  • How can I find the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium (preinstalled) as sticker has worn through.

    Someone knows if the product key is stored in any file on windows.  Or does anyone know if Microsoft will have kept no record of the product key and can send information.

    The short answer is no.

    Even if a product key is stored in Windows and can be retrieved by various utilities third keyfinder, when Windows was preinstalled, this key is a special key used by the manufacturer of the computer to automatically activate Windows when, for example, you use the manufacturer method to restore the computer to its factory condition.

    This key can be used if you want to reinstall using a Windows CD/DVD installation that you have purchased.  To do this, you use the key on the COA label on your machine.

    If you need this key, your most likely solution is to use a bright light and a magnifying glass.  If it is completely unreadable, it is possible - though unlikely - that the manufacturer of the computer (non-Microsoft) can be useful.

    No key will be useful if you want to install Windows on another computer.  OEM (preinstalled) Microsoft software product keys are valid only for the computer on which the software was first installed.

    Hi samshepherd,

    To check if an updated audio driver is available for your sound card, you can use Microsoft Update to help you determine your current sound driver and if an update is available.

    You can also contact the sound driver hardware or the computer manufacturer for an updated audio driver.

    See the link below for more details:

  • Re: Satellite P200D - 11L: where can I find the latest drivers for the Radeon HD 2600

    Hello

    Where can I find the latest drivers for the Radeon HD 2600? The Catalyst 7.11 since the official site of Ati/Amd works on a laptop? I read some stuff that these drivers do not support mobile maps and that there is a software for this problem, so I'm a bit confused now.

    What about drivers on the Toshiba site? They are more suitable? I don't really know.

    Thanks for your help.

    Of origin ATI/nVidia drivers are not designed for Toshiba laptops.
    ATI drivers can be used on desktop computers.
    The drivers of Toshiba graphics card supports thermal protection which is necessary to avoid the increase in temperature.
    Laptops, graphics cards do not have huge as cooling office modules graphics cards and therefore the GPU driver control the performance of the graphics card.

    What you could do is to check the site driver for 3rd party such as;
    www.OmegaDrivers.net.

    But the non-Toshiba drivers may be used only at your own risk!
