• Windows Media Player 12 library not to rebuild

  Windows Media Player 12 library issues

  The library settings of WMP on my Win7 x 86 Ult PC appear to have corrupted after clicking on a BSOD just as I recorded a new network folder in music library settings. It was very well until now, but after the restart, will organize > manage libraries > music does not return a screen. Other libraries, such as the image will be open a screen and can be kept, but it seems that the media in these cases does not actually view.

  Restore the system to a point before the BSOD did not fix the issue.

  Running MS FixIt for Windows Media Player has not fixed the problem.

  Running sfc/scannow does not detect any problems.

  Deletion of the library and the settings deleting the folder AppData/Microsoft/Media Player did not help.

  The only possible solution I am aware of what I have not tried is to uninstall/reinstall WMP via Add or remove features - I'm reluctant to do for the simple reason that this step seems also to uninstall Windows Media Center, I receive countless hours over the past four years, get the installer of my _extremely_ preferences - and there are also of the OEM changes (its a VAIO Sony's older) as art of support and background disc changer that I would struggle to restore.

  Have to reinstall Media Center from scratch would be a disaster even greater that losing the music library, which is a fairly large disaster already.

  Someone knows some way to correct this problem _without_ lose all my settings in Media Center?

  PROBLEM SOLVED

  I noticed another possible solution in another thread and it worked - in Explorer to delete the folder music 'Libraries' section, click on the section heading 'Libraries' and select 'Restore default libraries' in the menu.

  I then could open WMP and add my network via the feature folder successfully organize.

• Windows Media player 12 will not update DRM

  Hello

  I use my local library's digital download service. I tried to download a digital book... and he tells me that I need to improve my 25.00.0 to 25.00.1 DRM... or something like that.

  Then I followed the instructions of programs... no upgrade

  So I tried the link to Microsoft, they provided for use in Internet Explorer... There is a button to upgrade, but it turns so it can be pressed.

  Then I went into Media Player and looked to see if it had to be upgraded... says that it is fully upgraded.

  Ok... I'm fresh out of ideas... anyone else have an idea?

  Thank you

• When I copy a CD in Windows Media Player 11 does not apply media information.

  With the XP sp3 operating system, I rip the CD purchased and Windows Media Player 11 does not apply media information. Either he gives and error saying that it cannot be done because I am not connected to the internet while I'm connected, or it can recognize my internet connection, but I have to do a manual search and manually apply the name of each track, even if they are present and order under each line I have to click to match the name of the correct track.

  It's so frustrating to have to fight manually for applied information on the media which is clearly presented, and after all, album art that shows correctly in the finder info media constantly refuses to fill in the library and I have to go to a separate Web site and copy and paste it in. Yes, he found elsewhere on the internet, with the help of the connection which was present all along!

  It's crazy, the info is already there! And why do I go online in any case the info is in the CD? This doesn't seem to be a problem with the previous players. Please provide a fix for this useless, frustrating dinosaur, waste of time, a process!

  Have you tried to delete temporary Internet files and the Cookies in Internet Explorer?

  If you temporarily disable your firewall software, which helps? This could be a third-party firewall, like Symantec, or the built-in Windows Firewall.

• 1: 0x80042318__2 system restore error: Windows Media Player 11 will not work open__3: Internet Explorer 8 crashes when opening.

  I have these three questions of program after reinstallation of Windows Vista and tried (mostly unsuccessful) using Windows Easy Transfer to move and reinstall my programs and files. My computer had some problems before start, (it would be almost always gives me the blue screen at startup and go into Startup Repair). The Startup Repair wouldn't fix anything and just lose about 20 minutes of my time. Finally, he wouldn't even load at all and the Startup Repair did not help so I decided to reinstall Windows Vista. It worked perfectly until what stupidly, I decided to try and use Windows easy transfer if everything goes well "to" my programs this new copy of Windows Vista.

  So now my questions are: Windows Media Player 11 does not open. I don't see a thumbnails of videos that would open with Windows Vista either. Oddly, although I can use Windows Media Center very well. I also installed Quicktime player and it seems to work perfectly.
  It was not catastrophic but especially a gene. I use VLC player to manage most of my videos very well, but love using WMP before.

  Second: I can't create restore points at all. Once I try, I get this error message:
  "The restore point could not be created for the following reason:
  An error was detected in the copy Service VSS (Volume Shadow). The problem occurred while trying to connect with the VSS writers. Please check the event system service and the VSS service are running and look for errors related to event logs. (Ox80042318) Please try again. »

  Finally, for some reason any after the transfer, eventually after Internet Explorer automatically updated it will completely freeze when I open it. This is for me the prompt to open the session previously was crushed, and if I try that or close the dialog to open just the home page, it will freeze completely, even the blue circle next to the name of the tab to load.
  Fortunately, I have Firefox and Google Chrome installed, both work very well.

  Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not entirely fretting on IE8 and WMP 11 but I feel really that less stressed if I know that I have a System Restore Point in case my previous numbers start to happen again.

  Here are my system specs, in case that dans le cas ou c' est is somehow useful.

  Dell Studio 1535 laptop
  Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
  Service Pack 2 recently reinstalled
  Intel Core 2 Duo 4 Ghz processor
  3 GB Ram
  4.0 Windows Experience Index/Rating

  Big thanks in advance to anyone who can give a glimmer of assistance. I tried searching on these issues online and found no help. My next step is the Dell technical support (.. don't looking forward not to y).

  Do you have these problems if you for testing purposes create a new user?

  Other things you can try after trying the suggestions "Sreenkanth T" is to run the ChkDsk program.

  Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click on your drive icon / properties / tools / error checking.  Try first by checking do not each box (that it will run in read-only mode) to see if it reports any problems file or hard drive.  If so, restart it by checking both boxes and restart to allow him to attempt to fix any problems found

  Windows Easy Transfer moves not installed third-party programs on the whole, he does that move their settings, your files and settings Windows.

  As you have just reinstalled Vista, where were your old programs and files (on which machine) when you used Windows Easy Transfer, you still have access to them?

  You have to maybe do the reinstall once more but forget your settings and just manually copy all of your data?  This way you will give you restart with no old parameters of any other machine?

  You can also consult the third-party program (costs a little money), but he can move everything, including the programs installed.

• Windows 7 Media Player 12 library issues

  My music library has been deleted accidentally off Media Player 12 on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x 86. I was in and uninstalled Media Player. Reinstalled. delete the application data files. and yet when I try to rebuild/add my music files in Media Player 12 they are not sort as before. 90% are listed as UNKNOWN, and they were specifically listed before. This is the same except the folder as always. That was not deleted. Only the Media Player media files. What has gone wrong? How can I solve this problem? Is - fixable? I don't want to start thinking about having to manually change each album and song, you talk about 200 + GB.    Help, please.

  Ideally,.

  Uninstalling and reinstalling software should work.

• Media Player 12 will not remain full screen for more than 5 min.

  Upgrade Vista Ultimate to 7 Ultimate. Media Player now will not stay full screen for more than 5 minutes during movie playback. How can I fix this please?

  When presentation settings are turned on, your mobile PC stays awake and system notifications are turned off. I would not advice you constantly running in presentation mode because it does not allow your computer becomes idle (and display the screen saver) even when you do not do anything. He probably solved your problem because one of your application does not perform certain actions as before, because it's always 'think' that your computer is not idle.

  You should do something like this: check the settings for these two applications: Vaio update and Trend Micro (probably you can get there after right-clicking on the icon in the notification area and choose the appropriate context menu position). There should be some options when these applications are performing the update process. No doubt, one of them made when the computer becomes inactive if it may affect the mode full-screen. I guess that might be Vaio update, because I read that since version 2010, Trend Micro has been improved and should not cause this problem, but you should check the two of them. You should change the appropriate settings, so it will play the update process in another moment.

  There is also something else you can try. You can read this article: How to prevent the flight home in Windows programs . You can find how to prevent theft of focus programs, then perhaps it can also solve your problem. Maybe after the upgrade to Vista, specific registry key does not contain the appropriate value, and you must follow these steps to fix that:

  1. Click Start and then click run (or you can press Windows key + R )

  2. In the text box on the run window, type regedit and click OK. This will open the registry editor program.

  3. Find the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER under my computer and click the plus sign (+) after the folder name to expand the folder.

  4. Continue to expand the folders until you reach the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel registry key.

  5. Select the key of Office under Control Panel .

  6. On the right side of the screen, locate and double-click ForegroundLockTimeout DWORD.

  7. In the Edit DWORD value window that appears, set them value data: field to 30 d 40 .

     Note: Make sure that the Basic option has the hexadecimal value, when you enter the DWORD value.

  8. Click OK , and then close the registry editor .

  9. Restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

  10. From this moment on, programs should no longer steal focus from the window you are currently working.
