I sent a record of a conference that has an extension of VOC and I get an error message that Windows Media Player cannot open the file
What should the sender to do with their recording of a conference, to convert it to a readable audio file that I could open with Windows Media player?

Original title: laptop won't read the music files stored on external hard drive
I have an old Compaq laptop Windows XP, so it was out of memory I transferred everything on a Portable Seagate (500 GB) hard drive and started to access it. It's worked well for over a year, but lately, began to stop playing my music files. Absolutely everything on the hard drive opens, however, images, files and folders, but when I go into Windows Media Player, it pops up with this error message:
Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to read, burn or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.I have not modified parameters or anything that moved. I used to be just able to restart the laptop, or disconnect and reconnect the hard drive and it works again, but now it or not will be not at all, or it will cut off half way through a song and then not to play anything more.I can't find any support for this problem because the phone reads that the hard drive is there, and everything else works. Only the music doesn't. I tried to play music on a connected USB and it works fine. I'm so confused!Hi lkm0293,Here are some articles that you might find useful: -
Windows Media Player cannot burn the files. If the burner is busy, wait until the current task is complete. If necessary, check that the burner is connected properly and that you have installed the latest device driver. ???
I just burn a CD with no problem at all. Using the same type of CD, brand new, I tried to burn another CD and got this error message:
Windows Media Player cannot burn the files. If the burner is busy, wait until the current task is complete. If necessary, check that the burner is connected properly and that you have installed the latest device driver.
I close all programs running, restarted my computer, changed on the devices tab, the speed of burning... everything I know to do and all the things I've read in these forums, no luck... still get the exact same message. No idea why my CD-writer has decided to stop working for me?

Lately I get the following message if poster every time that someone sends me an email with an attachment. I use to be able to display up to a few weeks before. the message is - Windows Media Player cannot find the file.

Does anyone have an idea on how I can display these attachments?

Hi fredleon,
· What is the email client or webmail you are using?
· What is the attachment file extension?
· How do you open the attachment?
· Is it by double-clicking or you choose open with option.
a. save the attachment to the office,
b. right-click on the file and select open with the option to open the attachment according to their file extension.
Example: If the .docx file extension, then it is word document or .pdf, it's Adobe.
You can get the extension of a file by right clicking on the file and go to properties

If you guys tell me to check and make sure that the CD burner is connected; been there, done that.
If you guys tell me to uninstall the device, then reinstall; He does that
If you guys tell me to try new disks; summer it does this as well.
I lowered the burn speed ect.I did everything possible. I can burn a disc once or a little then next I get this error.
I still have to burn the disc from system restore and I fear for fear of getting this error. I think I have the external writer since bad things is a good idea to test things before putting.

Windows media player dvd region
After you apply an update to the media player, I now get the error message

I went to my comments to logon (standard user) media player works fine
so I'm back and tried to reinstall the mediaplayer to my admin login, it wouldn't let me not delete it, ran Media Player microsoft penalty shooter, he said everything ok
so I changed the guest account on an admin account to try to remove it from there, but as soon as I did this mediaplayer stopped working in the feedback connection that leads me to believe its a sort of level access virus, that has permeated the media player or a defect in this connection required to complete admin update media player

Original title: error reading from a photo cd
Error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disk has been created in a way that the player does not support"when the disc is inserted into the PC HP Touchsmart yet he plays on the laptop. Help please
Hello
(1) what is the file format of the photos on the CD?
(2) you are able to play another CD/DVD on this computer?
(3) have you made recent changes to the computer before the show?
(4) is it a Blu - ray disc?
Install the codec for Blu - Ray. Your Blu - ray player should have come with a medium containing the codec. You can also use your favorite search engine and free research Blu - ray codec.
The Blu - ray disc format is not supported in Windows Media Player. To play a Blu - ray disc, you must use a non-Microsoft program that supports Blu - ray playback and a device that can play Blu - ray discs.If you have a program that supports Blu - ray, then I suggest you to use the Troubleshoot utility and check for the issue.
You can try the following methods and check if it helps.
