Hi Crimsoncat,
at this point I'd say completely remove WMP and install from a new download. In addition, if you open a program like Win amp or Real Player, it does the same thing?

    Hello SPLEXP,

    ·         Are you trying to play music saved on your computer or online?

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. If you are running Windows Vista, click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.
    3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
    4. restart Windows Media Player.

  • Windows Media Player cannot play audio files

    Hi, I have Toshiba laptop, this is my baby, and all of a sudden I can't play sounds! When I click to play a song in windows media player, it says:

    Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with the audio device. It might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it can be used by another program, or it may not work properly.

    I tried everything and I'm on my last nerve! Basically, I'm rubbish with computers, I do not understand this at all, I followed all the ways suggested by the section 'aid' in my computer and I can't always listen to 'The Feeling!' Please help, I'm going crazy here!

    Yes my friend. The computer world is really not easy to understand, and sometimes I wish that I could no longer live the island of computer.
    but you know, the development never stop.

    OK, now your problem; have you checked the Device Manager?
    You don't see any yellow exclamation next to the sound card?

    I think that you should first try reinstalling the audio driver. Of course, it s a very tips but especially it works essentially ;)

    If you have a music video, your friends sing you could install a flash drive on the Web site. If it is just an audio file, you must download the file to a file free host then post a link to the file on the Web site.  If Windows Media Player comes into play depends on what media player the person clicking the link used as their default media player. Windows Media Player will play no role in the file on your website. The link below contains a list of free audio files, hosting sites. There are many others that you can find with a simple search on Google.

  • Error when you try to play the downloaded tracks: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

    Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. (((PLEASE HELP)))

    I understand that this has been a matter of repetition and I made the suggestions listed and nothing works. This just started happening, although downloading songs, and once they are finished I'm not able to play them with Windows Media Player. The initial message indicates that the file has an extension that is not recognized by Windows Media Player.


    I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows Vista Home. Any suggestions? What should I chahnge how I download and save music?

    Hey Taylor09,

    You may find that you are getting this message in Windows Media Player due to one of the following reasons.

    a. you try to play a file that is not supported by the player.

    b. you are trying to play a file that the player does not support, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

    Step 1:

    Confirm that you are trying to play a supported file type. The following article lists the types of files (formats) supported by Windows Media Player.

    Information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player

    Note that if you tried to play the file type is included in this table, 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.

    Step 2:

    Download the necessary codec to play the file.

    OT: help!
    Is there a a way to control the media player while playing a game? e.g. change of songs

    Hi Serrieslack,
    If you talk to a Windows game, the only thing you can do is use your "windows key" or the alt + tab to switch between games. If you are talking about during the Xbox game, you can press the 'x' button and go in the settings of your Media Player and do what ever you need to do.

  • Media Player deletes all the songs that were added just for the external drive

    I am using Windows 7 media player. I start the media player and my music list is empty.  Media Player begins to add songs to my portable media player. After adding songs it removes so all of the songs added.  What I can do to keep the songs is the library?

    Hello

    1. have you tried to play the songs of the external hard drive?
    When you remove the external hard drive, you will lose the library of the media player library list, it's the design of the media player library and this is how it works in the location list monitoring.

    However, if you want to keep the music files in the library even after having remove the external HARD drive, you do not delete the location in the location tracking list. You can add the location to avoid the problem.
