Media Player, auto-play
Hi, for some time I had to go to the computer-DVD-CD drive D listen to my media disks. Windows Media Player will not play
disk automatically. I ticked the box in Control Panel to automatically play the media, but it doesn't seem to work.
I operate a Windows Vista Home Basic Edition system.with a few updates to know 500GB - HDD 2 GB memory and new graphics card.
What about Harry
I would like to thank all those who have tried to help with my problem. I decided to back up all my files and programs on an external hard drive then
Re-install windows, hoping that this will solve the problem.

Windows Media Player Auto played a video without being in the media library, possible?
I recently opened up windows media player and clicked on play a bit before he had fully charged it, thinking I would play my mp3 library, rather a * video looked to play. I couldn't find the video anywhere on my hard drive. (also * is not seen nor this computer I used, is often used on the internet, it's a family computer) Pourrait that happen to watch a video in my browser on netflix streaming and a wmv file that is attached to the back of the video streaming? Anyway, I have no idea why she would automatically play and not be in the library windows media anywhere. Is this always already arrived to someone else? Thank you!!
Someone visited questionable sites by the sounds of it.
Ppersonally I would clean my computer by running my anti virus and especially a malware program such as MalwareBytes.
Clean the browser cache and cookies to complete sanitation and history.
Use Ccleaner for that either clean up the history of WMP.
Parental control software allows to avoid this kind of thing does not happen.

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 ;)

Windows gives you integrated programs to open the image as png files.
In Vista, use Windows Photo Gallery to open png files.
In Windows 7, if you use it, you can use Windows Photo Viewer to open png files.
If you have installed Windows Live Essentials, you can use Windows live Photo Gallery to open png files.
