  • Windows Media Player 12 has stopped working.

    Windows Media Player 12 has stopped working. When I select an audio track and click on the play button, a red X appears next to the title in the playlist. I uninstalled and reinstalled the player, but also update the drivers. Checking the properties through the device manager says that the device is working properly, but this clearly isn't. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem would be welcome. As a matter of interest, itunes has stopped working at the same time. And audio tracks play fine in RealPlayer.
    Thanks in advance

  • Media Player Classic suddenly stopped working

    Well, after the last update of the operating system, Media Player Classic has stopped running. Whenever I am trying to open a file, it gives an error that the program has stopped running. Vista offers to download the new version of it - then just out of curiosity, I tried and new version did not work at all either. It was obvious. So what's happened and what should I do to get it working again? I know there are many other programs use it as well but I like this one, and I would really like to continue to use it. And certainly, I don't like that updates break programs and drivers.

    Hi Riksu,

    Media player classic is a third party application and Microsoft is not aware of the mode of operation.  You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the codecs and check if it works.

    If it doesn't work then you will need to contact the manufacturer for assistance.

  • Windows Media Player 11 has STOPPED WORKING... XP AND Vista problems

    I have a home network with computers XP and Vista.   Computer XP is Dell Dimension 4600.  Vista computer is HP Pavilion Slimline.

    On or about 6/10, WMP 11 on the Vista computer has stopped working properly.  Video will not play digital video (mpeg format), previously working but playing the audio from the file and the timer updates the video plays.

    Attempt to update the codecs (K-Lite).  Didn't help... now, the native multimedia player K-Lite is the same way.

    Deleting updates 6/10 and later versions.  No change.

    System restore of flowing it at 6/9, 6/5, 6/4.  Restoration is back with "unexpected error".  The logs show a NTFS corrupted and suggested chkdsk run.  Filled with chkdsk c: /R with NO ERRORS.

    Ran SFC/scannow on Vista machine.  He said "no violation of integrity.

    Today (6/14), WMP 11 on XP machine has stopped working.  Videos will be running, but are extremely hectic, like something, it's stealing time CPU; However, the system idle process is higher than 90%.

    What the hell is happening?

    EDIT TO add: I want to stress something else... Movie Maker on both machines still work.  Videos can be imported into and read correctly.

    I had things market... Finally.

    I have none of the above.  I do not have the installation diskettes (OEM on a computer HP... no disks provided with the machine, have only the recovery disks that I made when I configured the system).

    So until I went looking for a set of discs that I use, I did the following... and I * think * I know I could fix it, but I do not know...

    I have re installed the K-Lite codec pack... only of video codecs.  I essentially took the video installation by default EXCEPT... I turned off video acceleration.  Intel Express Chipset not allow me to disable hardware acceleration by using its own GUI and Windows Vista would not touch parameters of acceleration as Intel ordered to them.  Well, I suppose that K-Lite has been able to do what could not do Windows and Intel wouldn't let me do.

    Don't know if that was the fix or not, but everything works now.

  • Media Player Classic has stopped working

    Lady Grace,

    Can you confirm you're problem is related to the update windows KB975560 mentioned in this thread.

    If Yes, then you can try some of the suggested options (unfortunately, they are not suitable for me but may be for you), if not then it would be best to start a new thread with your question.

    Thank you.

    Hey Jersey Bunny

    How you define the update of windows, so it will not install this KB975560 automatically?  Thank God, this thread is here coz I had this same problem and thanks for these great answers that I managed to get my media player save and works but updates keep sneaking it back in!

    Thank you

  • Numbers of wired keyboard has stopped working

    I have a keyboard attached to a wired Macbook Pro Apple. The keyboard worked fine for a year apart from the occasional glitch when it stops working, I add an extension of cable and it starts working again.  However, all of a sudden the numbers on the keyboard at the top of the keyboard have stopped working (but - and = work). the keyboard on the right continue stop work very well.  I think the function keys work always.  Someone at - it ideas?  It's driving me crazy! Tried to restart and don't Scream - no luck so far.

    Hello Lloyd C from the United Kingdom.

    If I understand you right, the numbers on the wired Apple keyboard that you have connected to your MacBook Pro stopped working. We know that it's never ideal to have a device that does not work as expected, we are happy to help you get the keyboard to work again.

    The first thing I would recommend, first and foremost, is to update your Mac if there are updates available for the version of Mac OS X, you're running. Follow the steps in the article to support below if you are not familiar with how to update. For the purposes of troubleshooting, whenever you test your keyboard after you follow the steps that we provide, make sure that it is while the keyboard is connected directly to the USB port built-in on your MacBook and not connected to a USB hub. In addition, disconnect all other devices you have plugged into your Mac, besides than the charging cable under test.

    Update the software on your Mac

    If the problem persists after the update, the next step would be to reset the system management controller (SMC). The MSC is a part inside your MacBook, who helps run various physical parts of your computer, and resetting can sometimes help the problems associated with the keyboard and USB functions. The support article below contains the steps on how to reset the SMC.

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    Test the keyboard after that the MSC has been reset. If the problem persists, follow the steps in the "Steps to a USB keyboard" section in the following article:

    If your USB keyboard or wireless does not work

    Remember that it's always a possibility that the issue could be with the keyboard itself. If you continue to have problems with certain keys, try to connect the keyboard to a different Mac, if you manage to and see if you experience the same problems.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    Take care!

  • All USB keyboard has stopped working

    Hello

    All USB keyboards have stopped working on my installation of windows 7. They work fine in the BIOS or on my Ubuntu installation. When I plug a keyboard, it still gives an error code 29 (drivers not found). I tried using two keyboards: a Logitech Gaming Keyboard G105 and a fairly generic wireless keyboard (a dongle to connect to the computer).

    I tried to uninstall it from the Device Manager and plug or restarted again, but the result is the same. Windows Update cannot find driver updates, and a system repair disc doesn't detect any problems. I temporarily created a fresh install of windows 7, which recognizes the keyboards very well. There is no driver available manufacturer (attempt to all keyboards are supposed to use the base drivers), and the keyboard Logitech gaming software does not see that it is there. 'Control Panel-> devices and printers' keyboards of lists of names, but the shows not even the stuff of work that is just under the Device Manager and the problem-solving the tent and is unable to find the drivers again. Try to select the driver HID keyboard in the Device Manager just in fact give the code 10 error (device does not start) instead.
    Nothing I've tried has gotten me anywhere. I would rather not re-install Windows 7, like all the time and effort to get my system how do I like it took me forever, but I can't see how I solve this problem. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you
    Zoden

    There is a good chance a "repair" install will fix the problem as a "repair" install should re-create any missing or corrupt driver installation file.

    I don't see anything definitive where observer records but can provide you with the following file, which can provide more specific information:

    Hello Graham

    Sorry, but your problem is not easy to understand. After reading these two sentences, it is not easy to tell if there is a general problem with the keyboard or what.
    When you enter the BIOS settings can use keyboard to scroll through the options and tabs of the BIOS?

    Since when did you notice this problem?
    You have created a recovery media? If Yes, please try to use it and install original recovery image.

    Hello rockys_rod,

    To fix it, simply remove your old library files. Then have Windows Media Player find your new files. It will not destroy your music files.

    How to get WMP to re - index your music:

    1. close Microsoft Media Player.
    2. click on Start and then run
    3. in the box, type the following:
    [list] %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player

    4. click on OK and a folder containing your library files will be displayed
    5. delete all files ending with .wmdb
    6. open Microsoft Media Player
    7. press F3
    8. Select the addresses of your music files
    9 WMP will re-index your music.

    If this does not help, try the FixIt in the article below:

  • Volume and mute keyboard keys stop working

    P7 - 1298c updated to Windows 8 Pro, everything worked but now the volume keys and mute have stop working. I know that there are related software, because if I boot a backup drive, they work again. The most obvious thing I did lately, it's remove the feature optional windows Hyper-V. Is there an obvious way to reactivate the buttons?

    Another recent change, I've had, I think that Adobe Flash player has updated.

    It seems to have solved the problem with the help of an old thread in the http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio-e-g-Windows-8/Volume-control-keys-on-keyboard-not-working/td-p/773049 area Notebook

    I uninstalled the device IDT under sound, video and game controllers in the Device Manager with option enabled, rebooted and reinstalled driver remove the last available IDT device shown to my system model and win 8 64-bit. Oddly enough, I received a message that the update failed. But the sound and the buttons seem to work fine now.

  • CD player is suddenly stop working

    my cd player is suddenly stop working and I found there is no driver cd/dvd ROM in my it's Manager device missing what to do? any help

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

  • Media Player 12 - visualizations not working not properly

    It is a minor - but annoying problem (for me!). A few days ago the visualization of Media Player has stopped working when the player throws. This only applies to reading CD - with music files, viewing seems to work OK. What is the visualization works generally the first time after a reboot, but then does not appear at startup of Media Player after inserting a CD, by clicking on the drive containing the disc, or by using the option of reading from the context menu.

    The strange thing is that visualization is displayed if I do these things:

    Change the library view and return to the poster

    Switch to full screen (visualization works again after returning to normal size)

    Pause or stop the CD, and then start again

    Set the menu display to "no display", then choose a visualization from the menu

    Switch to another track

    I tried to uninstall/reinstall the drive Media and system restore but also a host of other things suggested on the net. All to nothing does not. I did changes important to the computer in the last week or two.

    So basically I don't get the view without a click or two. As I say, it's a trivial problem, one of these minor but annoying bugs that seem to be a feature of Windows 8. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem and maybe knows what is the cause?

    Thank you

    Neil

    EDITED RESPONSE: Thanks for your reply. I cracked the problem, I think. It seems that the visualization problem occurs when you use the Media Player in the Program Files (x 86) folder but does not when using Media Player in Program Files.

    So I changed the entry in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AudioCD\shell\play\command

    of ' %ProgramFiles% (x 86) %\Windows Media Player \wmplayer.exe ' /prefetch:3 /device:AudioCD '% '.

    for '%ProgramFiles%\Windows Media Player \wmplayer.exe' /prefetch:3 /device:AudioCD '% '.

    In addition, the AutoPlay options list Media Player twice, and one of them is probably the version in Program Files and the other in Program Files (x 86). Choose one that suits (by trial and error) Gets the visualizations to work when the disc starts to play.

    I have no idea why this should be. In all other respects Media Player from two locations works very well.

    NEW EDIT: I discovered since ProgramFiles (x 86) content Media Player version 12.0.9100.16578 and ProgramFiles listed 12.0.9100.16579. So I put the latest version of the program in both files and the problem disappeared. There is now that one option in the list of automatic game options and registry changes are not needed. Of course, I had the pleasure of dealing with flipping permission settings before that Windows would allow me to make changes on MY OWN computer, which I bought and paid for.

    I hope these ramblings are helpful to someone. I have my life back now, at least until what Windows 8 changes a boring itself without another reason that waste my time...
