Installation/uninstallation of Windows Media Player 11

Hello.

I'm a Dell laptop user with windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit. For more than one Media Player window on my computer stopped working. Because I didn't know what to do to remedy this I installed VLC Media Player and was used during the WMP was not working. Now, I wanted to return WMP but when I click on the shortcut, it displays nothing. I tried to uninstall and do not know if it worked. And when I try to reinstall WMP again, he shows me a dialog box with the msg "there is a more recent version of Windows Media Player (11.0.6000.6324) already. installed on your computer It is not possible to use a more old (11.0.5721.5146) installation package to install files or repair your current version of the reader."

If anyone can help me solve this problem, I will be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Windows video player is part of the operting Vista system. It can NOT be uninstalled or reinstalled. That's why you got the message about the system already has a newer version when you tried to install an older version.
This applies to all versions of Vitsta.

    In some cases, there may be multiple instances of

    Try to open the Task Manager and look for the instances

  • No sound in windows media player (11.0.6002.18111) only trying to play mp3 files. No way of fixing/uninstallation or reinstallation. Need advice!

    I recently encountered a problem with Windows Media Player 11 (a specific version in the title of the topic) where no sound play atall when you try to play mp3 files. When trying to play a track of the progress indicator moves VERY slowly and jumps in a stuttering mode and no sound whatsoever is coming through the speakers. He is a recent problem.

    All audio files work on other audio programs like Real player, quick time e.t.c. and the sound comes from the computer normally. Only the sound that I have are with windows media player when you try to play mp3 files. Still fine read video files, wav files play fine. How boring is that he suddenly decided he likes are more mp3 files!

    More annoying, I stumbled upon the fact that I can't uninstall the reader as in Vista, it is part of the operating system literal, I can't download and install WMP install package from Microsoft because I tried and it tells me that I have a more recent version of Windows media player and therefore impossible to use the downloaded Setup program to install or repair windows media player. It is therefore impossible for me to get an installation package that is newer than the one on the computer, you would have thought that the downloadable installation on the microsoft Web site would be the more recent but no!

    I can't think of a way to solve this problem. For me it feels strongly a Codec issue to do with MP3 and WMP but I don't really know about Codecs enough to go on the setting of the specific Codec with the question, or even track down which codec it is perhaps whether she "is" a codec problem in the first place.

    I tried settings with the menu of options in WMP 11 troubleshooting unsuccessful (obviously), I also tried an audio tool / repair of breakdowns than microsfts audio troubleshooting prompted me to try, that of no problems with the actual audio devices on the system... I KNOW, his problem with WMP and mp3 files!

    So, to summarize, WMP doesn't read MP3 files, I can't run a repair tool that there is no 'installation' to WMP 11 package, it is not an uninstall utility is which means that I can't uninstall it to reinstall a new, I can't download the installation package and run it as apparently I have a more current version than is available on the microsoft Web site. Then what should I do?

    I need some advice on how to go about trying to solve this problem I've hit a bit of a brick wall...

    Any advice would be much appreciated!

    FIXED!

    randomly enough rate and bit depth format sample somehow has set high in the sound control panel, advanced driver.

    After hitting "restore defaults" it resets the depth of rate and little sample return at: 16 bit 44.1 khz

    The sound now plays perfectly.

    Weird it performs only mp3 files!

    Thanks for the help people, it seems that I ended up sorting out on my own though! Yay for me! haha

  • How to add .exe to Windows Media Player 11 installation files for burning?

    When I go to add the installation .exe files to burn as a data CD in Windows Media Player 11 on Windows Vista Home Premium, I can't find any option to do so.  Windows Media Player 11 claims to have the ability to burn data disks.  Does include the installation .exe files?

  • Windows Media Player in Vista does not work. Installation of Windows 7 Home Premium will fix the problem?

    Windows Media Player does not work.  Impossible to use slide show programs, can not open attachments that require Media Player.  Tried to update and couldn't.  Couldn't fix it.

    Hello

    Run the sfc/scannow command.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

    If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

  • Windows Media Player Album Cover Art disappeared after the installation of 11 Explorer (Windows 7)

    A large part of my cover art of the album disappeared from Windows Media Player after installing Explorer 11 (using Windows 7). It's hundreds of albums and for art that was already present before installing Explorer 11. The number of albums is to manually replace the work a tedious task seriously.

    It's the same thing with the installation of Explorer 10, but less than albums, so I learned to live with it. But it's now on a ridiculous on the part of the library.

    Can someone tell me where the art is gone? And why?

    If there is a way to replace it without doing a search for each album with missing art?

    If she is still on my computer somewhere, but is no longer connected to the media player?

    Where the cover of the album art in general is maintained? I can not even understand this, using my computer or go to my account to backup Carbonite.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Jamie...

    Your album covers on album is in application data files and it will always be there. There is obviously a problem somewhere and it can be if you rebuild your library of wmp that the work will return. I guess you can still see the piece in the album files ok - Yes?

    First of all if I should run the Fix It tool and the sfc scanner - after that restart your pc and see if anything has changed. (The scannow sfc tool will report if there are errors, it cannot fix)

    Fix - download and run the tool for WMP (all problem areas)

    http://Support2.Microsoft.com/FixIt/?WA=wsignin1.0

    sfc scannow - follow the instructions here.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us

    After making such a report and we will then rebuild your wmp library if necessary.

    Ric.

    Afterthought - memory I got a screenshot of the cache of art, so here it is. It is also a "hidden" folder (you can tell by the gray look), that's why you don't find it easily!

    Back to a system restore point previous fixed the problem and I could again play the files in Media Player, but during the night that Windows updates installed and the morning I could not play these .mp4 files once more. So I restored to a point earlier, changed my updates so that they are is more automatic and by installing each day at a time, I finally isolated the problem in Internet Explorer 10. If I install that, just Windows Media Player will not play these files.
    I tried a manual update of Internet Explorer 10, turn off all the options of toolbars shit and everything, thinking that when it automatically installs those who may be included, but that has not helped. Had to go back to my previous IE10 restore point. So no matter what, Internet Explorer 10 kills my ability to play .mp4 on Windows Media Player files.
    I don't have toolbars running on IE9 at all.
    I know that's obvious answer is 'do not install Internet Explorer 10' or if I do, download another player for .mp4 files. But the fact is, it shouldn't happen, it is indicative of something being wrong, and I would like TO be able to install Internet Explorer 10 AND use Windows Media Player to play these files. If someone else has had this problem, or know a way to fix it?
    Here are my system specs:

    I tried myself after experiencing the same problem and error code. I uninstalled the KB2670838 update, and then my Windows Media Player finally worked again. I also found that IE 10 must be uninstalled as well. Installation of IE 10 also automatically installs the update of KB2670838 platform. After uninstalling KB2670838, IE 10 automatically uninstall with it, better you hide two updates so that they do not install again. From the link in the previous post, I learned that the platform update is having problems of conflict with the AMD drivers. Good luck to you and hope this helps.

  • Flash Player similar to Windows Media Player

    Hello

    I try to upgrade to Adobe Flash Player, but it wouldn't let me install it. He always says that I have to uninstall old versions first.

    But I can't find older versions. All I can find is Adobe Windows Media Player. Is it the same? What do I need to uninstall

    This in order to install Flash Player?

    Thank you

    Tanja

    Hi, always use the Flash Player uninstaller before installing the latest version. Download and SAVE to your desktop.  http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/141/tn_14157.html   

    Then go to this troubleshooting guide and make sure that your settings are correct and follow the suggestions that apply.

    Find manual installers and use one or both, depending on what you need. Download and SAVE to your desktop.

    http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/191/tn_19166.html

    You must use the administrator account, close all browsers, disable all applications (see the system tray) that use Flash (such as Messenger services). Launch the uninstaller and when finished, restart your computer. Then run the installation program (s), and then restart.

    Windows Media Player is Microsoft. You may also need to Adobe Media Player. Not the same thing. Flash Player is different from the one of the people. Only, you want to uninstall Flash Player and install the new version.

    Hope this helps,
