Media player for windows 7 64 bit

I bought a new PC a few months ago and it came preloaded with windows 7 and it's a 64-bit computer.  I'm reading some .wmv files and windows media player does not work.  When I double click on the desktop icon, nothing happens.  I also went in the folder where it is located and double-click wmplayer.exe and, yet again, nothing happens.  I understand that it would come as part of windows 7.  When I go on the site of microsoft for downloads support, none of the media player downloads apply to my system.

I also tried to re - run the setup.exe for wmplayer and he said that there is already a newer version, so it cannot install it.  I can't understand what I need to do.

Hello chdk86,

First of all, I uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player to see if there is any corruption that could cause the problem.

Uninstalling and reinstalling Windows Media Player:
Step 1.
Uninstalling Windows Media Player:
1. go to start and in the search type "Turn Windows willing or not.
2. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
3. search for multimedia and uncheck the brand in the face of Windows Media Player.
4 restart the computer
 
Step 2.
Reinstall Windows Media Player:
1. go to start and in the search type "Turn Windows willing or not.
2. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
3. find the multimedia functions and place a check mark in front of the Windows Media Player.
4 restart the computer.

If you encounter problems with Windows Media Player, try using the troubleshooter to see if this fixes

the problem.

Open the troubleshooter of settings of Windows Media Player by clicking the theStart button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, typetroubleshooter, and then click Troubleshooting. Click all, and then click the Windows Media Player settings.

If the size of the .wmv files is too large, it can cause Windows Media Player to stop working.

I try and remove videos from Windows Media Player library and test to see if the size of the files could be a problem.

Please answer back with an update.

Sincerely,

Marilyn

    Method 3: To work around the problem, go to the location of the files (usually I drag the music to a new folder on the desktop)

    Control your music (mp3s), and number them.

    Example: "stand by me" becomes "1 Stand by me" and so on.

    Make sure no randomization or random playback is set to your burning software.

    You can now move your music to the burning software or open the software and select the folder.

    That should do it. Be sure to check all the options in the burning software.

    Let us know if this information useful.

  • Media Player for Windows 7 is the worst program I have ever delt with and don't ever use again

    For all of you out there. I read tons of message and responses on this forum and have tried all of the solutions that I found related to my questions. Nothing and I mean nothing doesn't work, music disappears: go back to the bed the other day, or the time you use it happens repeatedly. All tracks will not add in an album album evil is a long list... no solution works or works and lasts. Microsoft really needs to think about it with the next version of Windows.

  • No Windows Media Player for Windows 7

    I am trying to send files to my computer (Windows 7) to my Play Station 3 Wireless through Windows Media Player.

    I just discovered that my computer does not have Windows Media Player on it. I could play movies with her, but never open the program. Then I tried it in my programs and files, but the only thing that came was Windows Media Center.

    I also tried to make assistance remotely with a support technician, but after 25 minutes with their help, they could not understand the problem. And now, my files play not at all, saying that I haven't completely downloaded the windows media player and sends me the site to download it again. Unfortunately I have windows 7, and is the only file that I can download for xp and windows vista.

    Does anyone think they could help me everything?
