• Unable to sync music using Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player will not open

  Media Center will not sync music!

  I recently opened Media Center and I had no music in the library. I have constantly played music from the library so I didn't know what is happening. When I try installing the library again once it tells me that a necessary component for Windows Media Center is not available. I have not changed or downloaded something different. I went to check if Windows media Player is the multimedia file sharing. The message I get from that is, basically, that something is missing.  Now my Windows Media Player is not even opened. I wonder if my Zune Player (80 GB) has nothing to do with the problem. I charge my player when this has happened, but I do this all the time so I am at a loss. I went to the page "problem reports and Solution." It is the symbol of the Media Center window and says that the problem is caused by Windows. The solution is to update to windows; which I am fully updated. I tried to restore the system to an earlier date, but that doesn't work anymore. I'm at a loss to know what being of any help would be appreciated.

  As a side note video playback, TV and photos also works very well in Media Center.

  Thank you

• Only get a white screen with Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player

  My Center & Windows Media Player do not work. Only, I get a blank screen. I would like to reinstall, but I don't want to reinstall all Windows Vista Home Premium. How can I reinstall the only Media Center?

  Hello, Rob Davis,.

  Please check Application, system logs and Event Viewer Security for possible errors for the time that you tried to connect to Windows Media Center. Go to the computer and right click. Select manage. Then select Event Viewer, and then click Windows logs. In addition to this, you can check the newspapers of Media Center under the Application and Services logs. See if you have errors on Media Center.

  Then, update your most current video driver. If you have an OEM computer, go to the site such as Dell or Acer, etc. Download the latest for your computer, such as the graphics drivers or video drivers.

  Please answer back with an update and let us know if it helps.

  Hello texanbelle,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

  I am including instructions below a scan to help repair the system files related to some components of Windows, including Windows Media Center, and Windows Media Player.

  Repair Windows Vista Media Center files

  You can use the following steps to repair files that are part of Windows Vista Media Center:

  1. click on the Start menu, choose all programs, then Accessories, then right-click on the item to the command prompt and select run as administrator

  2. click on continue to allow it to open a prompt with administrator privileges

  3. run this command in the cmd prompt: sfc/scannow

  4. the cmd prompt should list text stating "start system analysis. This process will take time. »

  5. wait for the scan to complete (this may take several minutes, so be patient).  This command will scan all protected system files and attempt to replace the incorrect versions by appropriate Microsoft versions

  6. once the analysis is complete, the SFC tool will indicate whether or not it found no problems and whether or not he was able to correct

  7. If any errors are reported that SFC could not resolve, there are steps in this knowledge base article which explain how to locate and attempt to correct errors

  8. after fixing errors that are found, try to use Windows Vista Media Center again.

  Fix Windows Vista Media Center registry entries

  Unfortunately, there is no easy way to fix key/registry values that are installed by Windows Vista, as there are files.  If you want to try to repair the registry values/keys that are part of Windows Vista Media Center, you will need to re-run the installer of Windows Vista operating system and repair the operating system.

  Try this and tell us if it helps with your question.

• Media Center and WMP 12 does not not my MP3 files, two strange errors

  Hi all

  I am running Windows 7-64 bit. I have set up my Media Center and the folder where are all my songs. Then, I used the Media Center Extender to connect to my xbox. I went on the xbox and liked my music through my sound system.

  Now, when I try to listen to my music on my computer Media Center or WMP 12, I get the following errors:

  Media Center: the file you are trying to play (insert file path) is either corrupted missing or in a place that is currently not available

  WMP12: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

  I can play my music on my PC with the help of another player as my Rhapsody Player. It seems to me that Media Center and WMP 12 does not like to play my .mp3

  I'm leaning towards a problem with a codec, but how you updated codecs on WMP 12 and Media Center?

  Or everyone does not think that there is another type of problem?

  Good people. I figured this out, and I hope this will help some of you. I have his next card: Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS

  I went to control panel > Sound > playback > speakers

  I went to the Advanced Settings tab and unchecked Audio enhancements allow

  WMP12 restarted, a popup told me that there was an error with a plugin and disabled the plugin, and soon I was dancing on top of my desk.

  I found the information at the bottom of this thread:
