    OK, I might have already solved my problem.  I tried only to open AVI justONE file.  I have other AVI files and then I tried to open WMPlayer worked.  I did the AVI WMPlayer could not play.  I checked this with VLC player AVI fiel, and showed what VLC was weird.  I guess that the AVI file has been corrupted.

  • Two questions. (1) RIP in media player 11 problems. (2) portable speakers do not turn off when the headset is plugged...

    Hey all. I desperately need help. I have a laptop "Durabook" with Windows XP meidand service pack 3 update.  The internal speakers have never turned off when I plug a headset or headphone cable of the adapter into the outlet. It is an option that I have figured out. All my other laptops have silenced the computer speakers when headphones are connected.

    The most frustrating problem I have is in Media Player when you use the tab OUT, when I insert a cd Ripper in the computer, it is not recognized.  If I close and reopen WMP (Windows Media Player) cd, the cover and all the info of the cd is here and ready to be torn APART. Once the cd ends and ejects I insert another cd and nothing happens. Once again, I've closed and reopened WMP and evrything is ready to be torn APART again.

    Please please help.  I can't be the only one who had this problem.  I removed all anti-virus programs, removed and reinstalled WMP, twice.

    I'd appreciate any help.

    Thank you all

  • Windows 7 - Media Player 12 problem - won't open - error "Server execution failed".

    Hello

    I have trouble with WMP 12 on Windows 7. Whenever I try to open the program, the window opens, but it is completely insensitive and greyed out. I can close it in "End task" in the Task Manager.
    When I try to open a file, for example a video, I get the C:\User\Public\Videos\Filename.wmv error message
    Server execution failed
    Previously, I was able to remove the library to solve the problem. Nothing I did worked this time.
    Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated that Windows 7 was not a very good experience for me so far!

    Kind regards

  • Failed to start Windows Media Player - Version problem

    Hi all

    When I try to start Windows Media Player, I get the following error:

    the wmplayer.exe file has a version number of 12.0.7601.18526 where 12.0.7601.17514 was expected

    I used WMP on this machine before with no problems, probably most recently about a month ago. I have automatic updates on so I don't know exactly when this problem started. I tried to uninstall/reinstall WMP, but this has not led to no success.

    Here, any help would be great.

  • Windows Media Player version problem

    Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-Bit OS using w Service Pack 1.  Error message for Windows Media Player: wmploc.dll a version number of 12.0.7601.18150 where 12.0.7601.17514 was expected.  The message you want to know also if I wanted to reinstall WMP.  Went to the MS site, but don't see a version of WMP to WN7.  WMP worked before without a problem.

    Hi John!

    WMP is integrated in your version of Windows 7 and cannot- and disabled. Please try this: click the button start , click Control Panel, click programs and features, and then click turn on turn Windows features on or off. Search for multimedia features, click on the little + and uncheck WMP. Then restart and check WMP again. Restart, and then see if WMP now works fine.

    Hope that helps.

    See you soon

    Thank you Julia for your answer.  I continued to search for a solution once I asked my question and found one that suggested the signing in as long as administrator and then by running the file system by typing 'sfc/scannow' scanner after invites it him.  It worked.

    I appreciate your comments and will keep your suggestion in mind, in case this happens again.

  • Win Media player flicker problem of video playback in Win 8

    When I use XVID as my encoder with programs like CAMSTUDIO screenshots, on a machine with Win XP or Win 7 x 64, the video return correctly from Win media player or VLC.
     

    However, when I perform the same operations on my laptop Win 8, I am twinkle video during playback with Win Media player but VLC rereads flicker.

    Hi Ron,

    I apologize for the late response.

    What is the brand and model of the computer?

    I suggest that you download from the website of the manufacturer of the computer display driver and install it in the computer.

    If the display driver for Windows 8 is not released by the manufacturer, and then install the latest version of the driver in compatibility mode and check.

    Make the programs more compatible with this version of Windows

  • Media Player ripping problem like data reverts to old version

    I seem to have problems with the correct data album applied to albums that I am trying to rip. Each attempt data much more older albums are applied. I tried to manually apply the correct data, but the media player it just changes back. Help, please.

    Part of the problem is perhaps that the music data service's problems at the moment, but it seems also that you need to change your wmp library settings... go to wmp component library.. .organize.. .options and select the library tab - make sure that the area highlighted in the screenshot below is not checked. I also keep the article on tab Player 'to connect to the internet... etc' unchecked myself. I hope this helps... R

  • Vista Windows Media Player Hotkey problem

    Hello

    I play online games often enough, but seem to continue to press the shortcut key to open wmp (although I don't know what it is, I'm pretty sure that there at least involved Esc button).  I read a ton of forums who say I can't uninstall this program, so that may have to wait, but is there a "sanctioned MS' way to disable the keyboard shortcut to make it disable wmp in general?  This should not at all anyway, as I am running a game on top, so why Vista still takes orders while the game is running in the foreground is beyond me.

    Also, many for fun, wmp still ad media libraries on my local network even if I disabled it in the options.  Any thoughts outside myself using my firewall to drop these packets?

    Vista Home premium

    Hello Rick Meres,

    Thank you for posting.  As that's not on the other Vista PC, I must say it seems to be associated with driver.  There are also a few keyboard shortcuts that get "through the subsystem" and still works (ALT + Enter and ALT + Tab for example).  You might want to try uninstalling the keyboard software (make sure you have the installation media before you try this) to see if this will solve the problem.  I say this because I have a G15 keyboard and it will by default add some features and commands that I don't want when I install the software.  Your keyboard software can also offer options to configure the software it also installs.

    Please try this and let me know if it helps you. Zack
