  Hello

  1. don't you also get an error with the message code?
  2 have you installed third-party readers part?
  3. What is the format of the files you are trying to play?

  Follow these steps and check if they help.

  Step 1:

  I would have you readers of third party temporarily Uninstall and check if persists it to the question.

  Step 2:

  Most likely you need codecs to play these files with Windows Media Player. I suggest looking up codec in the Internet that supports the file format, download and install them.

• Windows Media Player does not detect files in the music folder

  Original title: why Windows Media Player NOT showing my music?

  So I recently got myself a new laptop, with Windows 7 Home Premium on it.

  I copied my music to my desktop PC (also Windows 7) folder to the new laptop.

  All the files are there in my user folder music, however, Windows Media Player absolutely refuse to recognize their existence and will NOT add them to your own library. If I navigate to the folder of the album, select a track or multiple tracks and use the context menu to perform them, which works without problem - WMP will play files.

  I checked that the right folder belongs to the library.

  The photos that I copied in the same way everywhere appear correctly in the 'Images' of WMP library.

  After searching on the internet for answers, I came across three very common solutions either on their own or a combination of seems to work for most people:

  (1) removing all THE folders in the music library, then add the. This has no effect.

  (2) will "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player" and delete the entire contents of this folder, or the folder itself. Note that if stop/start no matter which drive Windows Media services also had no effect.

  (3) using the command line tool "attrib" to remove the attribute 'system' of all the files in the folder music.

  Anyone got any ideas that are NOT ALL OF THE above MENTIONED the ELEMENTS, which may be able to help here? Otherwise, I'll move to a slightly less fussy Media Player...

  In fact, as a result, that gave me an idea.

  I went to:
  C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries

  And delete the content of this (this will remove ALL your libraries!).

  Then, I used the option "restore default settings", which correctly restored by 4 default libraries. I then recreated both more personalized, I would like to have it.

  Having done this, WMP now seems add my music to his library as I type this...

• I have Windows Media Player 5.1 on a XP computer. I have a HD camcorder which creates MPEG4 files. Media Player does not recognize these. Any ideas?

  My PC is a Dell Dimension 8300 with a Pentium R4 3.00 GHz. 512 MB RAM. My PC is too old for this kind of video file?

  Hi AndyKavanagh,

  Windows Media Player does not support playback of the .mp4 file format. You can reproduce .mp4 media files in Windows Media Player when you install the decoders compatible DirectShow MPEG-4 packs.

• Windows media player does not work as no driver DVD

  Had to format drive (trojan) & reinstall Windows XP home. Now Windows media player does not work as no DVD driver download from Toshiba site?

  Hello

  Usually the Windows media Player is not able to read DVD movies IF no plugins were installed.
  To watch DVDs, you can use programs such as WinDVD or PowerDVD.
  These programs are designed for the DVD play!

  But you can also visit the Microsoft Web site and search plug-ins for Windows Media player.
  Then you can download and install to play a DVD with WMP
