You may need the flash player to read these file types, or you may need to update your plugins.
Please check if all your plugins are up to date. To do this, go to the Mozilla Plugin Check site.
Once you are there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see in the list of plugins that have a yellow button to update or a red button update now , please put to update these immediately.To do this, click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps in the installation process.

My windows media player will not play a DVD
My windows media player will not play a DVD: Microsoft Windows 95 Version 5.1 (Build 2600.XP_SP3_gdr.111025 - 1629:Service Pack 3). Download a free version of media player to play the DVD? Please tell me the name of the upgrade and where to find the free download version, if so. Thank you!
First thing that you do not run windows 95 if your build number is 2600.XP_SP3 it is a build number of windows XP. Second, you will not be able to play DVDs using this version of windows and media player only. The reason for this is DVD is a standard that a group of companies shut down and basically, they demand rights fees to use, it codec, which you don't have. You will need get a program that has integrated these codec (or find them somewhere). Your best option for this is to completely abandon the but of the using Media player to play your DVD (unless you are looking to buy another piece of software). There is a free option that I use on my machine Windows 7 Basic its called VLC is a free player that makes just about every format out there (not sure Bluray). VLC uses its own codec (I think it's developed for the linux community orginially) rather than using the codec of the industry. You can find the program at http://www.videolan.org/

An MP3 will not play, the reason may be that there is inside the ID3 headers.
An MP3 will not play, the reason may be that there is inside the ID3 headers.
I have to remove them, otherwise the WMP cannot play. But how do I do this?
original title: MP3 will not play
Hello
-What operating system is installed on your computer?
-What version of Windows Media Player do you use?The ID3 header is a part of the file that stores the album information of the song (for example, the song name, artist name, album name and kind). This information is sometimes called a label. After you remove the headers ID3, Windows Media Player should be able to play MP3 files.
Warning
Try to remove ID3 headers might damage the file and make it unplayable. Therefore, always make a copy of the file before editing.
If you try to play an MP3 file that contains compressed ID3 headers, make a copy of the file and then use an ID3 tag non - editing program Microsoft to remove or reset the file's ID3 headers.
If you are referring to edit media information, see the following link:

Why first will not play the timeline
First suddenly stopped play my video in the timeline and source monitors. It will rub and even render and export, but will not play the video within the first. It was working fine 2 weeks ago. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, the removal of all preference files, turning off all but the necessary fonts and it still won't play. When I created a new user account, it works fine. I work with an old MacPro Tower (1,1), Mac OS 10.7, with 20 GB or Ram and files are accessible from an internal 2 TB raid array.

DVD starts, stops, will not play the DVD. No icon on the control panel
I have a HP G72-B66US laptop. A few days back I burned a DVD - RW, since then the DVD will not play a DVD. It starts, then stops. I uninstalled the drive and reinstalled the driver several times, but when I look at the Device Manager the DVD has the top yellow triangle. I can't use a recovery disk because it will not play the disc drive. Can someone help me on this? Thank you. Is there a place I can download a disk drive?
Thank you

Windows Media Player will not play the .mp4 files after installation IE10 - BEX error message
Hello! Recently, when I tried to read a file .mp4 on Windows Media Player, the player would immediately stop working and tell me that he could not play this type of file, even if the day before he could do so without any problem. I had an option to close the program or click to more information, so when I clicked for more information, he gave me this:Signature of the problem:Problem event name: BEXApplication name: wmplayer.exeApplication version: 12.0.7601.17514Application timestamp: 4ce7a485Fault Module name: StackHash_0a9eFault Module Version: 0.0.0.0Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000Exception offset: 00000000Exception code: c0000005Exception data: 00000008OS version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1Locale ID: 1033Additional information 1: 0a9eMore information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789Additional information 3: 0a9eAdditional information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789Back 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:Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bitIntel Core i5 - 3350P @ 3.10 GHz CPUASRock H77M LGA 1155 motherboard8 GB DDR3 240 - Pin SD RAMDiamond Radeon HD 7870PE52GV 7870 GHz video cardAnd all my programs are installed on this:SAMSUNG series Pro 840 MZ-7PD256BW 2.5 "256GB SATA III MLC internal Solid State DriveI'd appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you!!It sounds like your question. I think you should uninstall this update andhide and see if that solves your problem. Please report.BarbMVP - Windows/entertainment and connected homePlease mark as answer if that answers your questionI 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.

I do video editing. I transferred my camera video file and Windows Media Player played the video and audio very well at the beginning. I edited the file with editing software and exported the file again. Now, the sound will not play using WMP but it will play if I use video editing software.
As a result, I've uploaded new files from the camera and now WMP not give me sound on those either. If something seems to be affected by my WMP. Any help you can give would be much appreciated.
Hi rgosmond,
(a) don't you get any specific error message when you play the video?
(b) what is the file format of the resulting video file after editing by using the video editing software?
(c) you are able to play the files on the computer? You hear the sound?
I suggest you try the following steps:
O make sure that windows MediaPlayer is not muted, press F7 on the keyboard to turn the sound back on.
Ø check if the volume is at a minimum in Media Player, press F9 on the keyboard to increase the volume.
Verify that the default audio device is correctly set
1. click on start, type Sound in the box to start the search.
2. click on sound in the results of search at the top of the start menu.
3. click on the tab reading notice the check mark next to the default device. For most users, the default device is speakers. Make sure that the audio settings are configured as expected. Follow these steps:
4. on the playback tab, select the playback device, click Properties, click the Advanced tab and make sure that the default Format is set to the value you expect. When you are finished, close this window to return to the previous window.
5. on the playback tab, select the playback device, click on configure and make sure that the configurations are set correctly.
6. If the sound settings are well positioned, you are using speakers as the audio device and your speakers are already set as the default device, go to method 5 now.
7. Select the audio device you want as the default audio device and then click on set as default.
8. click OK to save your settings and close the sound dialog box.
Now, check if the problem is resolved.
Thank you, and in what concerns:

Windows Media Player will not play mp3 or mp4, but Windows and YouTube work OK
When I go to a media file (.mp3 or .mp4) and click on it, I get a message
Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file.By clicking [help] and follow the signs, I see that my computer has two devices in the "Sound, video and game controllers" section, both have the status "this device works correctly.
I get Windows sounds normally (startup, etc.). Can I play a clip from YouTube and videos that I prepared myself with Camtasia. However the same video will not play when I click the .mp4 and Windows selects the default Windows Media Player program.
How can I fix it?

Hi Robert,
It looks like .mp4 files are not supported by Windows Media Player.
