Impossible to select one of my visualizations in Windows Media Player.

Original title: Windows Media Player problem

I can't select any of my visualizations my Windows player. There is no clear boxes to select or deselect an option of viewing. How can I fix that I can play the visualizations?

Thank you... R. Mullins

Hi r. Mullins,.

1 Windows operating system you are using?

2. are you having the question whenever you change and play a song from selections or only when you open the media player to play the first song?

If you are using Windows 7, you can run the tool library and Windows Media Player settings and check if that helps.

  • Transfer of visualizations for Windows Media Player 12

    I have two computers. My office is a Windows XP Home Edition and my laptop is a Windows 7 Professional edition. I was wondering if it is possible to somehow get the visualizations of my Windows XP Media Player 9 converted to work on my Windows 7 Media Player 12.

    Where it is simply not possible or too much work in the long term, I was always curious why Plenoptic visualizations have been abandoned by the time released Windows Media Player 11. Microsoft or someone else would be able to do these visualizations to be reused?

    Hi Br4nd0nW,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Windows answers Forum community!

    Plenoptic was not entirely compatible with Media Player v12 and all non compatible
    visualizations have been removed. Those who have tried to install this file from
    Media player v9 did not have much luck.

    You can see these links for help:

    You can get most visualizations on the following Web site. Visualizations for Windows Media Player: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/visualizations.aspx

    Hope this information helped!

    Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Visualizations for Windows Media Player does not?

    Even today, whenever I play an audio file in Windows Media Player 12, there are a music note in the center of the screen instead of a visualization. Now, I have to manually select the visualization. I had much rather it shows not news at all, as I use iTunes for that sort of thing. I use Windows 7 Home Premium. Please, do not return me to different software. I wonder how to play again in a visualization of the door right?

    OK, this is weird, everything works again. I don't know what went wrong, but she now plays in the favorite visualization. Thanks for everything, I'll be sure to contact if something is wrong in the future!

  • I downloaded a file of visualization for Windows Media Player from Microsoft. The downloaded file is there, but I can't seem to read in the media player. How to play?

    the file is: next-generation visualizations. The Publisher is Microsoft. Advanced 3D Hardware. Version 1.0.0 of download:PsychedeliaVizPak.msi product name

    When I go to the media player and use the bars drop to visualizations names of downloaded files are there, but when I click on it the screen remains empty. I downloaded other visualizations and they work fine.

    Hello

    .msi is simply microsoft program so if you have windows, means that you can run it... ;) I had the same problem too, but it turns out that it was caused by my graphics driver... I have nvidia and its recent update supported not only such things... I had to reinstall the whole system and now it works again (that I na not reinstall just cos of visualizations) but try to reinstall your graphics card driver... hope that helps... :-) or you can even try the opposite... uninstall the current driver and run the older again, might help, but will prevent probably other programs functions...:-/ then make the choice... :) but I can confirm that psychedelia skins are pretty cool... ;)

  • Impossible to update of Windows Media Player and Microsoft Security Essentials and the error is "access denied error 80070005."

    Apparently an involuntary change of administrative privileges or permissions (Windows XP Pro, SP3) keeps me updated Media Player version 9 to 11 v. and updated virus Security Essentials definitions.
    For Media Player, wmsetup.log reports access denied error 80070005 and UpdSpAPI.log reports access denied for the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Settings\MP3Encoding\LowRate registry key. In regedt32, I'm blocked from display HKLM\...\MediaPlayer\Settings and below, and "are allowed to view the current permission settings, but... can make a change." Except that I can't. I can enter the change but get «...» Access is denied"trying to apply them. So this is the first problem that I need help.
    But of course it's more than a registry key and the subkeys, because MSE too is affected and will download but not install virus definitions. WindowsUpdate.log reports: failed to install with error 80070643.
    My user account (it's the only one!) is part of the Administrators group and all that I tried to verify administrative permissions is positive. This is a new issue. No virus/malware, according to MSE, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, MalWarebytes Anti-Malware.

    Original title: strange going ons

    When I go to my music using windows Explorer, it shows a folder named unknown artists with 7 subfolders.

    When I bring the windows media player, it displays only an album with an unknown artist.

    When I open one of these subfolders, writing the name of the artist, but all the tracks have been listed as track 1, track 2, track... in the library, that I went to this artist's album. He entered all the information correctly. When I clicked open the location of the file that shows the location of the albums as one of the subfolders under unknow artist and all tracks as track 1...

    so, how did we can list everything correctly in the library but point to incorrect information?

    Hello

    What are the file format of the files shown in the subfolders of the library?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: I suggest you follow these steps and check.

    You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    Step 1

    a. exit Windows Media Player.

    b. for Windows Vista: click Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player , and then click OK.

    c. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Step 2

     If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. exit Windows Media Player.

    b. If you run Windows 7, click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.

    c. Select the folder Media Playerand then click delete on the file menu.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

    Also note before performing the steps above, I suggest to save the songs and try the steps above.

    Method 2:

    If the steps above do not resolve the problem, you can try to disable Windows Media player and then enable the feature that is as good as the uninstall and put it back. Follow the steps below to do the same.

  • Windows Media Player find manually the info from the album when selected.

    I'm looking to "find album info" by right-clicking on the album in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7. After clicking on it, the dialog box appears and a small globe in the upper left corner turns for a few seconds, then stops and nothing happens. I waited a few hours to make sure. Stay right on the white screen of white. It worked fine with no new changes two days ago and now it is not. I checked to make sure that I work online and am. Retrieve additional information from the internet are checked and media files updated to retrieve information from the internet is selected too. I can connect and browse the stores online through WMP so I don't know that it needs to connect to the internet.

    Nevermind, I found the answer to someone else.  I had to disable Internet Access Manager. For some reason, that it will not allow WMP to connect to internet to download the info from the album.
