How reinstall/install the windows media player 12 in windows 8?

I am therefore completely irritated. I have a new laptop lenovo Windows 8, and no matter what I do, I can't find a windows media player anywhere. you say that WMP12 is delivered with windows 8, but it is not FOUND on my computer. I tried to search for files through the file manager, searched the apps, looked under programs and features to ensure that it was a function of windows, the value, and it was nowhere there either. I'm lost... IM now running a scan command prompt to see if the file might have gone corrupted somewhere in the digital tricks... but lose hope. My version of lenovo also comes with PowerDVD10, a separate media player... might that perhaps took place of WMP? and if so how can I recover my legitimate program, deca a reinstall completely Windows 8?

Hi Bryce,.

If you use a version N or KN in Windows 8, try to download the Media Feature Pack for N and KN of Windows 8 versions:

Here is a link to download the Media Feature Pack for N and KN of Windows 8 versions: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30685

  • Satellite M70: How to get the Express Media Player feature?

    I M70, but I formatted it once I bought it. Now, you could tell me how to recover the function of Express Media Player? There is no setup.exe file in the Express Media Player recovery CD.

    Thank you

    Hello Weimin

    In order to use the media functions Express the Mediaplayer Express Recovery CD must be performed before performing the recovery from the recovery DVD-ROM products.
    You can't run Express Media player after performing a recovery.

    Should at least 150-200 MB of available free space on the HARD drive.
    This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated.
    To start the installation, you must boot from the recovery Express Mediaplayer CD

    Good bye

    It seems that you have chosen to "restore the computer to factory State" that will indeed have destroyed ALL of your personal files, in addition to removing all the programs that you installed after that you got the computer first.

    A problem with restoring to factory State, it is that Windows will be updated to the date of the computer has left the factory.

    The first step is now to determine the State of your hard drive - a problem with the hard drive is probably the cause of the original error on HAL. DLL. most probably the "restoration" process has solved all the problems, but it is worth the visit.

    Open my computer, right-click on the icon for the C: drive and select Properties.
    Select the Tools tab
    Click on the "Check now" button
    Check the two boxes in the window "Check Disk drive Local (c)"
    Click on click Start

    Answer Yes to the question in the following window appears:

    Click OK to close the Properties window, and then restart the computer.

    When the computer restarts, you will see something like this:

    When chkdsk is finished and has (hopefully) corrected all errors, follow the directions in the post of JW Stuart to firstly download SP3 (link at the bottom of his post), and then install it.

    Here is another set of tips for the installation of SP3, contributing Daavee (slightly modified because you already have SP2):

    And here are the tips that still work for me:

    1. download the installation of SP3 and IE8 (beforehand) files. I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

    (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

    (You need to install IE8 AFTER SP3! Trust in me.)

    And if you wish, download the Setup file of a good anti-virus program. [Get Microsoft Security Essentials at first, unless you have an a / v already installed]

    2. disconnect Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices.

    3. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

    Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

    4. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

    5 move to IE8. Restart TWICE.

    6. install anti-virus software.

    (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

    [This is why JW Stuart has proposed to perform the installation in a "Clean boot" State - where your antivirus won't work.]

    7. make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

    Start | Control Panel | Security Center

    (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)

    8 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

    9. reactivate the automatic updates.

  • How to install the windows vista of batch updates?

    Hi, after re-installation of the operating system (Vista Ultimate x 86), I downloaded and saved all relevant updates
    (I want to reinstall the same OS and updates Virtual Box and I didn't download all updates twice).
    Now I'm looking for a simple way (script) to install all updates in one batch, with no restart.
    I looked at a program called vLite, but after installation and before he could be executed, it requires one almost 1.4 GB
    Additional downloads, resembling an overdose. The BatchPatch is a great network, not a single system running VB.
    I've also seen some parts of the script, but they were not clear enough for me - I'm a geek, or IT.
    If someone has a script that might work, please list in its entirety and a form that is understandable even by a drunken sailor.

  • Satellite U205-S5002: cannot retrieve the Express Media Player after upgrading the HARD drive

    So I bought just a new Toshiba Satellite U205-S5002 I love it. One of the great features that interest me was the Express Media Player feature.

    My first step was to upgrade the hard disk and 160 GB and 2 GB ram.
    I placed the disk and ram in my old laptop and sold it.

    Before that I did, I made a copy ghosts and ghost of the hard drive to the new drive. Well come to find out...

    Toshiba is not provided with this software preinstalled, so I followed the instructions to burn my recovery disk Express Media Player and the boot on the new disk.
    So this is where the saga begins...

    After 15-20 seconds, I get a soothing blue screen (NOT of blue BSOD you mind) who says:

    /!\
    An error occurred during the recovery of "Express Media Player".
    -------------------------------------------------------
    Please pick up the image again from the beginning.
    Press any key to exit.

    It is typed exactly as it is on the screen. So, I see some other forums saying: you must have the free space of the disk so I resize the partition that allows 200 MB of space. Always the same... then try 2 GB even... then the 50 GB, same problem...

    OK, so obviously not a question of space. I read while I might need to erase the drive... so I delete the partition, this same error... then I run the recovery disk and tell him to wipe the drive, wait 1 1/2 hour, it ends. No dice! So I decide... ok... Well lets try another disk... I have restored my ghost image... and burned the image again... same question... so I decide to the recovery disk and I'll try to reinstall windows in the factory and make a record...

    Well, it does not work as well as you think... the image is incomplete... windows works fine... but the c:\Toshiba\ExpressMediaPlayer folder is empty!

    I'm happy that I have ghosts my original directory. But I decide allows to Express Media Player a shot more now that I have restored to factory... always the same error... I then decide a trial more... I'll erase drive 1.5 hours, I'll restore from toshiba dvd provided but leaving plenty of space at the end 2 GB (I have a lot about people who tell you to base just around 200 MB)

    5 hours later... moment of truth... Well Yes you guessed it... I don't know anything else to try... I have a bad image?
    You need one that I can download what has worked for them for sure? Or have - I have completely found myself by replacing the HDD with after market and which is originally a kind of compatibility issue?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    It s a great story!
    I put t know how to start so maybe first some info on the Express media player.

    As you said, and has already proposed the Express media player has been preinstalled on the second partition.
    If you want to install this media Express on the HARD disk drive, 150-200 MB of free space must be available. This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated.
    To get these free space on the HARD disk, 3 third-party products should be used as for example the Partitions Magic 8!

    I'm not going to write a story how to recover the Express media player because Toshiba has already created useful documents, which described complete installation!
    I found these documents in the knowledge base of computer Toshiba:

  • Install the drive Media Express on Satellite M60

    I just bought myself a M60-170. Because I have to join a domain, I had to format the drive and reinstall with XP pro.
    During the reinstallation, I deleted all partitions and EMP has disappeared. After reading the manual, I saw that there is an option for EMP.

    When I boot with the EMP recovery disk and try to reinstall it, it says that it will destroy all data partitions. But does take?

    (5) now, we create two partitions (size of 50%: 50% - playersize).
    --> At the DOS prompt, type:
    Gdisk 1 /cre /pri /sz:50%-> creates a primary partition 1
    Gdisk 1 /cre /ext-> creates an extended partition 2
    Gdisk 1/log /cre-> creates a 2nd logical partition

    (7) menu use: Local\Partition\From Image, choose image GHO menu

    (8) there should only be ONE partition available source:
    1 primary DiskLoad NTFS 07...-> pick this one!

    (9) Select destination disk (there are also only one)
    1 basic...-> pick this one!

    (10) now you need to choose the destination partition - there should be three to choose!

    (11) select:
    1 primary 0C Fat32 without name...-->! BE SURE TO CHOOSE THIS ONE!

    (12) to confirm that you want to write on this partition
