Hi Paul,.

Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community Forums.

According to the description, it seems that you have problems with playback of songs in Media Player that you get an error message 'Media Player is not installed properly, reinstall the drive'. I will certainly help you fix this problem.

(1) for the limit of a specific song?

(2) have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

Method 1: I suggest you run the Microsoft FIXIT from the link and if it helps.

Solve the problems of Windows Media Player video and other media or library

http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/

Method 2: If the problem persists, I suggest you follow the steps to disable and enable Windows Media Player to Turn Windows features On or Off and check.

Step 1: Disable 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: Turn on 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.

For reference:

Turn on or off Windows features

    Hello Pacone

    According to Walter, Microsoft Windows Vista comes with Media Player 11. So please could you clarify the application you are using? The version you gave I guess maybe it is Windows Movie Maker.

    Hello Shelby57,

    You can try the following to see if it will get your Windows Media Player in Windows Vista.

    Make sure that Windows Media Player is set as default.
    Go to start. Click default programs. Set default programs. Select Windows Media Player, and then select "Set this program as default". And then click OK.

    First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

    This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

    Reboot your system.

    Rename/Delete the "Windows Media" folder located under %userprofile%\appdata\local\microsoft

    Now, go to Windows Media Player, do a right-click and select "run as Administrator".

    You should now be able to open Windows Media Player on Vista.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to convert a my media player in vista can play multimedia files (video) windows mobile 6.

    I like to take the video with my Treo phone. It has Windows Mobile 6 Professional and the videos play in media player on the phone.  When I try to open the file to support windows on my computer he named with a label of ".3g2" I can't my media player in vista to recognize the files. Help!

    Hello
     
    Windows Media Player does not support playback of all types of media file available currently. However, Windows Media Player provides support for the most common media file types.
     
    The type of file you are trying to play on media player is not supported by the media player. If Windows Media Player does not support the file format you are using, contact the distributor of the file for more information on the availability of a viewer for the file.
     
    However, installation of codecs can help you read the file successfully, check for possible solutions in this article and check the result: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992
     
    There are a couple of free video converters available on the Web that you can use to convert the type of current file for the file type compatible multimedia player. Please note that Microsoft has not tested these programs and you use them at your own risk.
     
    I hope this helps.

  • Quality of its poor window media player with vista and windows 7

    Since I bought my first Vista PC three years ago I never liked playing my music with Windows media player. This is because the sound quality is irritating. For some reason, the volume of any song keeps rising and falling when he plays with the media player but the same player sound perfectly with any other player. Note, in this case with windows Vista and when I upgraded to Windows 7 I have always noticed the same problem. Many of my friends who use Windows vista or windows 7 also complained about this problem.
    Does anyone have a solution to this? Because I can't play my songs with windows media player on my pc windows 7 and I had to keep my old windows xp just to play my songs.

    Hello

    It could be mainly mediocre speakers. Check you drivers.

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS Manager - look for HD Audio Mine said RealTek High Definition Audio

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    1. go to the system manufacturer's website and search for the driver the newest download - SAVE - will click with the button straight on and RUN AS ADMIN
    (This is your rescue.) REBOOT after each installation of driver.

    NOTE: Driver Sound often rollback so check the version after installation and reboot to see if the version you
    installed is there, if not repeat - restart until it is. It may take several tries depending on the recommitments how he
    the fact.

    Then do the same for the site of the manufacturer of the device.

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

    Hello

    Run the sfc/scannow command.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

    If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation
