• Windows Media Player 11 cannot find my CD burner

  I can read all my music files, but Windows Media Player 11 can not find my cd burner.  I went through all the different files system and burner, shows and all show that it is correct.  He used to work, but I don't remember the last time that I used it.  I checked for new drivers and none have been found.  I'm at a stand still.  The only thing I have not tried is to remove the program and reinstall it.  It makes me a little nervous that's why I did not yet.  I appreciate any help anyone can give me.

• adding new files or remove the old Windows Media Player files. (Vista)

  Since June 2010, I was not able to add new files or remove the old Windows Media Player files.  I can click on a new file and play using WMP or add to a playlist that is currently playing, but it does not recognize that it was added after as I close the program and re-open it.  Or I can delete the files that no longer exist on my computer but WMP always has them as my files.  When I click on add new media, it recognizes the right amount of files I would be adding, says to add them and then nothing is there.

  Your media library has probably been corrupted. To reset, follow the instructions for WMP 11 Vista at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary . Note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too. Tim Baets

• Windows Media Player won't find the files on the second hard drive

  Hi hope you can help with this.

  I have Windows 7 and Windows Media Player 12 on my PC.

  My office has two hard drives, one for the operating system and all programs and another larger (drive J:\) for all my files.

  All my audio files are stored in the J:\Audio folder, and this folder is also the default location for my music library (such as configured in Windows and WMP).

  When I load WMP files in J:\Audio are not displayed in the music library.

  If I right click on music > manage a music library and then manually delete the J:\ from the list of library locations, and then re-add it, WMP adds all the files to the library (a process that takes about 20 minutes).

  BUT if I close WMP and re - open again, these files are missing once again.

  It seems that WMP has a blind spot of my second hard drive.

  Any suggestions for what I can do to remedy this?

  Thank you very much!

  Neil.

  Well, I think I found a solution for me at least.

  There is an answer on this thread who has contributed to:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-pictures/songs-do-not-appear-in-the-Windows-Media-Player/a6e80b2e-7367-4529-9dab-5a38ba4167a5?page=5

  This is the fifth detention by djkel.

  This is a summary:

  To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
   
  1. exit Windows Media Player.
  2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
  3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
  Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  One of the files that I had to delete not able to be removed first because "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" was used. I was able to follow the steps on this page to temporarily stop the service and allow the file to be deleted:

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-disable-Windows-7-Media-Player-network-sharing-service-wmpnetwk/

  Then when I have opened WMP 12 database has been repopulated with my files... and all files remain when the 12 WPM has been closed and then reopened. I hope it's a permanent fix.

  Not sure if this will help your problem, Jeff, but I hope that.

  Hello

  Codecs: Frequently asked questions
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

  All you need is good Codec

  Check here:

  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

  -------------------------------------------------------------

  If 64 bits and you need codec.

  Read this 1st and go that route, or use the one below. (Vista or Windows 7)

  http://www.Vistax64.com/sound-audio/152850-Vista-codec-pack-32bit-64bit-Media-Player-codecs.html

  --------------------------------------------------------------------

  If 64-bit - can run WMP in 32 or 64 bit mode.

  Or try these: download - SAVE - go to the place where your put them RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN.

  For 32-bit use these - OR the 32 bit ones listed above which I prefer.

  K - Lite Codec Pack 10.0.0 (or newer)
  http://www.codecguide.com/

  Use them for 64-bit:

  K - Lite Codec Pack (64-bit) 10.0.0 (or newer)
  http://www.codecguide.com/

  K - Lite now includes BOTH 32 and 64 bits in a single download installable.

  Also look for updates, September 6, 2013, was K-Lite Codec Pack 10.0.3
  Download and install it after the main program.

  -------------------------------------------------------------

  You know that you use WMP 32 or 64

  Change, modify or value 64-bit Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11) in Windows Vista x 64 as default (or WMP12 - Windows7)
  http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/01/19/switch-change-or-set-64-bit-Windows-Media-Player-11-WMP11-in-Windows-Vista-x64-as-default/

  -------------------------------------------------------------

  And you can use it when necessary because no codex is usually required.

• Windows 7 Media Player will not update files and allow me to remove the old files of the library.

  I've been deleting old audio/video files on my computer that also appear in the media player library but when I remove it from the library, it won't let me, but it gives me the options and it will show a pop window of the process he goes through to remove these old library files, but nothing to really occurs because the files remain in the library.

  (I guess that Afzal post ended up somehow in the wrong thread).

  To get rid of the old songs and videos in the library, you probably need to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

  -Restart the PC.
  -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
  -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt.
