    How to make windows media player to read rar files

    Windows Media Player cannot play RAR files.

    RAR files are not video/audio files, they are compressed files. If there is video/audio files in the RAR file, you must first open and extract from RAR file.

    You can use 7 - Zip to create/open/unpack RAR files and other compressed files.

  • Can I uninstall Windows Media Player 12 and reinstall in Windows 7 Professional

    I found a fix you guys thank you earlier, but the corrupted files are still there as someone amended to follow something. Files that has not changed with the fix it guy are applications wmpshare 100 KB; wmpconfig 100KB; Wmplayer 161KO. There is no shortcut, but I go to the menu and click on it and takes me to the location of the files that is now different instead of the type pathname %.  Installers has complete control of the confidence of all this I can not change the permissions either. Cannot even remove these files and the interesting things are WMP is not listed in the menu of programs to alter repair uninstall so it cannot be uninstalled anyway. I disable it in functionality, but that it disabled just when I enabled it today, it was the same until the fix. And now I don't remember which arises or what I was doing, but he said a new version of WMP is installed on your computer, you cannot use an old facility to repair your... I forgot, but I took a snip of it:

    This is what arises, I guess that when I clicked on the application of wmpconfig so I'm stuck in this media Bermuda triangle which is sync all my readers as devices to program flash cannot go down of their. And my HotSpot Android 4 g phone that I use as access point for internet. WMP which is synchronized to the library. All my flash drives now phone are synchronized in that library and it cannot play music. It grabs all my videos, photos and don't have the music. It's crazy.

    So now I answer to my own question (s) it is impossible to uninstall

    When I said there is a newer version already installed but I can't. Also up-to-date Flash Player service is stopped and does not let me start I guess because WMP is jacked or pirated, ha.  What can I do? I don't want to do a RESTORE of the SYSTEM cuz it's back in July 6, 2014.  Well I hope someone knows how to handle this cuz it affects a lot of other little things that are not so little for me.

    Help!  SOS!   NO MATTER WHAT?

  • How to reinstall windows media player in Vista?

    I had Media Player on my computer at the same time but was not using it so uninstalled, I need now, but when I try to download it, I get a message that I already have a version of media player on my computer. I looked in my control panel and all I can think of and can't find it. I need to know how to get rid of the message saying: I have a version of it, so I can download it again or how can I find it and put an icon on my desktop

    If you have Windows Vista, you have Windows Media Player INCLUDED. , It is part of the system. It cannot be uninstalled.
    This is why you get this message.
    You do NOT uninstalled. You could have 'removed' in the start menu, but the program is still in the system.

    Try the easiest way...
    Start button > in the search box, type windows media player > do you see Windows Media High Playerat left? If so, click it. Now that you have Windows Media Player.

    If for some reason, that the method above does not work...
    Start button > computer > right click on the C: drive > Open > highlightthe program files, make a right click, clickOpen > scroll to findWindows Media Pla..., right-click, click Open > scroll to find wmplayer.exe, click it. Now you should have Windows Media Player on screen.

    Hello mckendrick,.

    Sorry for all the questions that you are experiencing with Windows Media Player.
    I have included a link here to a convenience store for Windows Media Player. It can help to identify potential problems with codecs.

    I hope this can help.

    If those who do not help then you need to back up your valuable data and restore machine you options "day 1" through the whole recovery supplied with your machine by the OEM.  Consult your manual or the web site of the manufacturer.

    Alternatively, you can give up on WMP and download a third-party replacement drive.

  • How to remove windows media player does not exist unknown album

    Recently, after a new cd and my downloads directory staff moving in my personal music directory, Windows Media Player shows a nonexistent unknown album, that I can't remove.  How can I get rid of him?  There is no actual data or location.  I tried to remove all records of use of WMP, but the unknown album no-while is still there.  I have even uninstalled/reinstalled WMP from Windows 7 functionality, but the unknown album no-while is still there.  In addition, it causes WMP to constantly try to identify, using a lot of my bandwidth of internet connection.  Is this a Bug in WMP?  Or would it be a new computer virus (for me)?

    Jerry,

    Please, this brand as Ansered!

    Run "MicrosoftFixit.WinMediaPlayer.FISC.134269373628288824.1.1.Run.exe" solved the problem.
