• Media Player Classic has stopped working

  Lady Grace,

  Can you confirm you're problem is related to the update windows KB975560 mentioned in this thread.

  If Yes, then you can try some of the suggested options (unfortunately, they are not suitable for me but may be for you), if not then it would be best to start a new thread with your question.

  Thank you.

  Hey Jersey Bunny

  How you define the update of windows, so it will not install this KB975560 automatically?  Thank God, this thread is here coz I had this same problem and thanks for these great answers that I managed to get my media player save and works but updates keep sneaking it back in!

  Thank you

• CD player is suddenly stop working

  my cd player is suddenly stop working and I found there is no driver cd/dvd ROM in my it's Manager device missing what to do? any help

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

• Windows Media Player 12 has stopped working.

  Windows Media Player 12 has stopped working. When I select an audio track and click on the play button, a red X appears next to the title in the playlist. I uninstalled and reinstalled the player, but also update the drivers. Checking the properties through the device manager says that the device is working properly, but this clearly isn't. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem would be welcome. As a matter of interest, itunes has stopped working at the same time. And audio tracks play fine in RealPlayer.
  Thanks in advance

• Windows Media Player 11 has STOPPED WORKING... XP AND Vista problems

  I have a home network with computers XP and Vista.   Computer XP is Dell Dimension 4600.  Vista computer is HP Pavilion Slimline.

  On or about 6/10, WMP 11 on the Vista computer has stopped working properly.  Video will not play digital video (mpeg format), previously working but playing the audio from the file and the timer updates the video plays.

  Attempt to update the codecs (K-Lite).  Didn't help... now, the native multimedia player K-Lite is the same way.

  Deleting updates 6/10 and later versions.  No change.

  System restore of flowing it at 6/9, 6/5, 6/4.  Restoration is back with "unexpected error".  The logs show a NTFS corrupted and suggested chkdsk run.  Filled with chkdsk c: /R with NO ERRORS.

  Ran SFC/scannow on Vista machine.  He said "no violation of integrity.

  Today (6/14), WMP 11 on XP machine has stopped working.  Videos will be running, but are extremely hectic, like something, it's stealing time CPU; However, the system idle process is higher than 90%.

  What the hell is happening?

  EDIT TO add: I want to stress something else... Movie Maker on both machines still work.  Videos can be imported into and read correctly.

  I had things market... Finally.

  I have none of the above.  I do not have the installation diskettes (OEM on a computer HP... no disks provided with the machine, have only the recovery disks that I made when I configured the system).

  So until I went looking for a set of discs that I use, I did the following... and I * think * I know I could fix it, but I do not know...

  I have re installed the K-Lite codec pack... only of video codecs.  I essentially took the video installation by default EXCEPT... I turned off video acceleration.  Intel Express Chipset not allow me to disable hardware acceleration by using its own GUI and Windows Vista would not touch parameters of acceleration as Intel ordered to them.  Well, I suppose that K-Lite has been able to do what could not do Windows and Intel wouldn't let me do.

  Don't know if that was the fix or not, but everything works now.

  Hi rmetz527,

  To access the CBS, you need to run as administrator or connection with the default Administrator account.  Please send the newspaper here.  Also, did you try to scan for viruses and malware? It appeared that some system files are corrupt.  It is preferable to the SFC scan, malware scan, virus analysis and error checking once again in fashion without failure.

  Hello rockys_rod,

  To fix it, simply remove your old library files. Then have Windows Media Player find your new files. It will not destroy your music files.

  How to get WMP to re - index your music:

  1. close Microsoft Media Player.
  2. click on Start and then run
  3. in the box, type the following:
  [list] %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player

  4. click on OK and a folder containing your library files will be displayed
  5. delete all files ending with .wmdb
  6. open Microsoft Media Player
  7. press F3
  8. Select the addresses of your music files
  9 WMP will re-index your music.

  If this does not help, try the FixIt in the article below:

• DVD-CD ROM DRIVE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING

  My DVD - CD rom suddenly stopped working.  It does not appear on my computer.  In Device Manager, it shows the exclamation point in a yellow triangle and has the following: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device.  The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39).  I tried updating the driver, and he said that the best updated driver is already installed.  But it won't work.  When I put a disc in, the green light as it tries to work, but nothing.  In the properties in Device Manager, he suggested looking for a microsoft solution and I did it and there is no solutions.  Help, please!  I have install all the recommended and important updates, I have this game automatically.  I have Vista service pack 2.  Apart from this, the computer works fine.  I appreciate any help you can offer.  Thank you.

  Hello

  Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

  Do this - control panel - Device Manager 1 - click double-click on the drive - CD/DVD
  Driver update (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the drivers of certification). Now LAW
  Click on - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

  Normally the above will solve this problem otherwise working your way down through them, even if you did
  them before.

  Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it
  are you can reinstall the 'old'. Many use Windows default drivers however some special aura
  ones. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
