    Help, please

    Hello

    Close your program to burn and just put a blank diskette in the drive often works. Sometimes, if you have
    burn any installed programs that they're fighting resources, and strange things like this happen.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack.

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

    Windows media player

    HI. When I tried to play a movie in my windows media player.it says windows media player.cannot play theplayer file does not support the file type or does not support the codec that was used to compress the file and when I click web help it lead me to windows media player error message help.you met c00d1199 error message when you use windows media player.

    Hello

    ·         What is the format of the files that you play when you get this error?

    ·         Do you get what this error during playback of all files or a particular file?

    You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

    1. the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

    2 - the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

    You can try the steps and check if it makes a difference.

    a. to determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.

    b. download and install Codecs by clicking on the PLAYER tab and check. To connect to the Internet and automatically download the Codecs of the reader.

  • Windows Media Player is unable to extract one or more tracks from the CD.

    I also got this message "Windows Media Player is unable to extract one or more tracks from the CD" pop up in an attempt to 'Copy' the CD!  I have Windows 7 and had NO problem for several weeks, ripping my music from CD sales in my MUSIC folder.  I got all "parameters" laid so that whenever I inserted a new CD he automatically pulled and then ejected.  I had NOT brought any changes to settings but for some reason all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore?

    I have trried restart, check all the parameters according to your advice making SURE that all the files of 'Target' were correct (they are), but all that happens is a few seconds after I insert a CD it gives me this message (Windows Media Player cannot extract one or more tracks from the CD.) and then the CD will eject with NO of TEAR that occur?  It's VERY frustrating!  There, can anyone help?  Please?  I have NO idea where to check then!

    All is not lost.

    Download and install a pack of codecs, such as K-Lite (Google for it). You can find THAT WMP can then read the file.

    Or
    Download and install a small program called Gspot (Google it)! Drag and drop in its window one of the files, you can't plzy. It will tell you which codecs are used. You can then download and install the only after doing a search on the web for it.
    See you soon,.

  • Windows XP Windows Media Player 11 won't burn Audio CD from Playlist but Windows Media Player 9 burn playlist

    I'm trying to burn an audio cd using a playlist and the Windows Media Player built-in burning capability. I already went through the standard elements, changing CDs, shift etc.  The problem persists.

    When I try to burn an audio cd from a playlist I get the following message "windows media player has encountered a problem when burning the file to disk"

    I uninstalled Windows Media Player 11 and it is reverted to the version 9, version 9, I can burn audio CDs without problem and they play.

    OK, I GOT AN UPDATE, these WMA files are sitting on a shared folder on a server.  Windows media player 9 is able to burn them without a problem. Windows Media Player 11 cannot until I have copy the files to the local disk.

    Until Windows Media Player 11 changes forcing him not to work?

    Hi SupportTech2010,

    Method 1

    Check if the problem persists in mode safe mode with network mode and post back with the details.

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Method 2

    If the problem does not persist in mode safe mode with networking mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    1. Click Start , and then click run.
    2. Type msconfig , and then click OK.
      The System Configuration utility dialog box appears.
    3. Click the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services , and then click OK.
    4. When you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer.

    Method 3

    If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you create a network drive in Windows and check if it helps.

  • I can't burn my CD on Windows Media Player error "connect a burner and restart the player.

    I have a bunch of files music m4a songs bought on iTunes that are on the Windows Media Player. I insert a blank CD, and he refuses to burn the songs. I put it in my laptop, go to the option burn and it says "connect a burner and restart the player ' and doesn't read that there is a CD in there, even if there is. Even if I put all the songs I want in it, it won't work. I need help.

    No problem, at least it's a step forward that it is not only the media player.

    At this point if the CD-ROM drive does not at all, it could be a couple of things.

    1. First of all, just make sure under the folders under the view tab Options, that the "hide empty drives" is not selected. It could make your CD-ROM writer hidden just because there is no data in there at the moment.
    2. The drive appears not could also be that it is disconnected, but it's not terribly likely.
    3. Check Device Manager to see if the CD drive is listed, and if she has any warnings associated with it. You can open the Device Manager by performing a search in the search box of the start menu.  Locate the CD drive in the list, and then double-click it to view the status. He can say everything is fine, or can provide details on all issues.  Also, while you're here, you can check an updated driver. But this brings me to the next point...
    4. If the driver he is already up to date, it is interesting to watch your your model computer manufacturer Web site see if they have a newer version. Sometimes Device Manager detects outdated drivers and uses, when the manufacturer's website has something more recent.
