How can I uninstall Media Player 12? It does not work.

I would preferably completely uninstall Windows 7 and replace it with XP (I have a disc).

Try to uninstall and reinstall via "programs and features" as per - http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-uninstall-and-re-install-windows-media-player-12-wmp12-in-windows-7/ see if that helps.

There is a paragraph of this leave a link to completely uninstall it. I have not tried, cannot tell how good or bad, it works.

There are a lot of free media players like VLC that work very well as alternatives.

BUT before taking drastic measures, it may be worth the bother running convenience stores Media Player and see if they have anything detect. in "search programs and files" type "Troubleshoot" (without the quotation marks). In the list of results, click "Troubleshooting", click "programs" and run the wrong player media shooters see if they find something.

Also run a SFC/SCANNOW checks if that detects and corrects errors in the operating system.

(Must add even once, I never tried the deletion of WMP12, no idea how that it works or possible side effects.) If go you forward, he read attention in order to understand the process before you begin. )

    If you have a standard version of W7, WMP (12) is preloaded and ' built in '. You can not download.

    If you have a ' or 'KN' version of W7 please visit - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16546 NOTE: both 32 and 64-bit, download the one for your operating system IF you have N or W7 KN.

    If you have standard W7 but WMP is not displayed anywhere, see - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/26107/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-player-in-windows-7-to-solve-problems/ and make sure its selected in respect of multimedia features. If she is already apparently turned on then go through and deselect, restart, then go through and select it again, reboot and see if that helps.

    If that doesn't help, try a SFC/scannow - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833 to see if that detects and corrects something.

  • Windows Media Player in Vista does not work. Installation of Windows 7 Home Premium will fix the problem?

    Windows Media Player does not work.  Impossible to use slide show programs, can not open attachments that require Media Player.  Tried to update and couldn't.  Couldn't fix it.

    Hello

    Run the sfc/scannow command.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

    If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

    Hello

    Do you mean the command buttons from Toshiba which control the WMP function such as play, pause, stop, etc.
    On some Toshiba laptops, Toshiba command buttons can be configured manually.
    Please check in the control-> Toshiba Panel controls.

    If you won't be successful I recommend reinstalling the Toshiba utility again

  • Re: Satellite A300: Media Player & illumination button does not work

    Hello

    I just reinstalled vista, forward, back, stop, play/pause tactile control works but the media we and light, one does not work.

    Any suggestions?
    is there a driver I need to install to assign media to open media player and light to turn on the lights?

    If anyone can help I would appreciate it a lot.

    See you soon.

    Hello

    Lighting can be turned on and off in Toshiba HWSetup.

    But I think that the two buttons don t work because they are not configured correctly.
    Check the configuration!

    You can find it in _Toshiba-> Optimize-> Toshiba Assist button account support_

    Here you have to click the button then could assign the .exe file to be executed by pressing this button.

  • I installed Firefox today but it does not open and the icon in the taskbar will not close and I can't uninstall it and the helper does not work either?

    I tried everything I know to uninstall the new version of Firefox. I also installed Aurora beta and it had the same behavior, and I managed to uninstall that. I can't open a browser ff to work on it with the help of a large part of your support information. I click the icon, but it does not start on the desktop but the clock running as Task Manager. I have to end task in Task Manager to close it. I can not uninstall and tried the system restore, but this also does not work due to another problem with my antivirus program.

  • Windows Media Player volume control does not work during DVD playback.

    When I play a DVD in Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center I can't adjust the volume with the volume control of the program or main Windows volume control.  Simply sound 100% flight.  It's on a HTPC connected to an A / V recevier, so the only way to adjust the sound with the volume of the receiver control.  When I play any other type of multimedia (avi, mp3, etc.) in the two WMP or WMC in the program volume control is working properly.  The interesting part is, when I play a DVD using VLC Player or Cyberlink Power DVD the volume setting in the program as well as the main Windows volume control works correctly.  This leads me to believe it's a software is not a hardware problem.  I think that WMP and WMC using the same "engine" so the same problem knocking them both.

    Other info:

    Windows 7 64-bit.

    Windows Media Player 12 version

    Audio is routed to the receiver via the digital coaxial

    For what it's worth, this same problem occurred with the same exact material when I'm running Vista 32 bit.

    All other software is the latest version with all updates installed.

    Any ideas are welcomed and appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Reinstall the WMP and WMC application and see if it works very well.

    1. open the Control Panel -> programs and features.

    2. click on Windows to enable or disable features in the left pane.

    3 expand the multimedia features, disable Windows Media Player. Click Yes to continue, and then click OK to exit. Then restart.

    Note: If you turn off your WMP, Windows Media Center will be off either. You may need to reconfigure the settings for Windows Media Center after her reactivation.

    4. open or turn off Windows features turn on again. Functionality in Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center. Turn it back on.

    5. launch Windows Media Player, initialize the program.

    PS: If you turn off your WMP, Windows Media Center will be off either. This does not happen when we choose to turn off MCE.

  • How can I fix the message "KBD EXE does not work"?

    I get this message when starting my computer.  The message keeps saying that windows will close the program and inform me if there is a solution.  This has been ongoing for months.  I don't know the source of the file or the goal.  It does not create major problems, but my computer was slow sometimes.  I wonder if this KBD EXE is somehow connected.

    You happen to have an HP computer? I ask this after searching a possible solution and multiplies the references KBD.exe is a HP program for their multimedia keyboard Manager. However, in my research I found no definitive solution, mainly suggestions for updated driver multimedia keyboard Manager.

    If you have an HP I suggest visiting their site of support below. You can post for a possible solution in their communities to support as well.
