Media Player repair

How can fix my windows media player.what made my slow pc and I can fix it it... HP pavilion g6 using windows 7 Home Basic

Hello

It may be interesting to try to reset the Windows Media Player as follows.

Click on the Start Menu and select Control Panel.  Open programs and features, click on "Windows turn features on or off", open media features and uncheck the box Windows Media Player.  Click Yes and then click OK, and then restart the laptop.

When Windows has restarted, click the Start Menu and select Control Panel.  Open programs and features, click on "Windows turn features on or off", open check Windows Media Player and media features.  Click Yes, then OK and when WMP is finished installing, reboot the laptop again.

It is also possible that the library database has become corrupted, so try the following command to force Windows Media Player to rebuild the library database.

A handy utility to view all the files on your PC is called Commander free of charge, on the link below, because it displays the files that the operating system normally hides and has a search function.

http://www.SnapFiles.com/PHP/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10

This is a compressed file, so if you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip.  Please note that If you have a 64-bit Windows installation, download and install the Installer x 64 64-bit .msi on the link below.

http://www.7-zip.org/

Then, right click on the free file Commander zipped you download earlier, select Extract 7 - Zip, select the files and then click Ok.  Open the newly extracted folder and double-click Setup to start the installation.

Make sure that Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center are closed.

Launch free Commander, double-click users, double-click on 'your username', double-click local settings, double-click Application Data, double-click Microsoft and double-click Media Player.  Delete all files with the extension .wmdb - do not delete all the files.

Close the free Commander and open Windows Media Player - it will now start to rebuild the database of library which can take some time, but when it's over, see if this has fixed the problem.

Kind regards

  • Is there anyway easily re - download, or repair windows media player in Windows 7?

    I don't want to have to redo my computer everything. My Windows Media Player does not recognize the discs of the DVD player. There must be an easier way. I don't see a link to download the reader on the Web site. Maybe someone knows how? Thank you.

    Hello - the wire above contains items that you can try, but before doing so we will just make sure that you are not trying to solve the problem of evil!

    Is the problem with the CD and DVD disks? What happened when you insert a disc and open the optical drive in "Computer" - it shows there? Otherwise, the problem is probably with the optical drive itself rather than WMP... It may simply be that the lens needs cleaning - either with a cleaning disc designed for computers (necessary if this is a stand-alone optical drive) or on a laptop, you could take a chance on cleaning the lens - very gently with a soft brush, you can find. Worst case, you may need to buy a new optical drive, but external usb ones are relatively expensive these days.

  • How to repair windows media player 12 corrupt dattabase 8 64-bit

    I know that this problem has continued on Windows 7, there is a fix to clear the database and rebuild. But don't know how to do it on windows 8.

    It's an album art problem, when you try to change you get just ERROR telling you that you cannot change while the song of the album is in use...

    Help, please... I spent a lot of time in media player 11 get all my songs to correctly display the album art. Now, all that seems to have been in vain.

    And if there is no good solution for media player 12 is there a way to remove the 12 version and install version 11...

    I had a problem with any file in the library.
    She ended it was damaged and that's how I fixed it.

    Access the Windows File Explorer.
    Access libraries.
    In the right pane, delete the music library.
    Then in the left pane, right click on libraries and press on restore default libraries.
    Now, go to organize, manage libraries and click music.
    Make sure that the files you need are included and WMP should rebuild the library.

    It worked for me and now things are normal again.

  • Cannot download plug in for windows media player. Have used the site to download and it says it worked, but the plug-in does not appear on my list of plug-ins.

    I tried to hear an appeal of a Web conference. Received a message, necessary plug windows media. Check my plug ins, no windows media. Reading about firefox support tutorial. Clicked on download. Had a window that requires repair or change. Tried to fix it and then change. Need better guidance on how to finish download. Download the message passed, but after firefox closing and re-opening, no still no plug-in for windows media in the list of plug-ins. Go to site and could not hear Conference.
    Reading support forum. Message while using about: config. Tried, typed in on: config in Start menu, but do not see anything that looked like I could change for real like message said.
    solved by opening internet explore and go to the website and listen to the conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying: If you want to enable media player click here. Not so heard Conference.
    Tried using chrome. You have to listen to the Conference yesterday. Today, he had the same message you need to plug in when I tried to follow the instructions in connect, it was just as confusing and useless like firefox. Most is that I tried to make any statement in the suggestions forum for firefox and can not get the windown media connect to appear in my list of plug-ins and can not hear calls for conference on firefox.
    Chrome said that they worked on connect available to the chrome store.
    I agree with the comments that I was able to go to web sites and to hear the calls before firefox did an update that removed my windows media plug. The fix simple download, two from windows, does not, apparently because firefox cannot find the fix. This isn't for lack of user, and it seems that windows attempted to provide a fix, and firefox does not recognize.
    Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, that trying to get windows connect multimedia player installed on firefox. What is a browser, if you can not hear an appeal on the Web site the browser will take you to? Please make it easy install windows media branch on firefox. Thank you..

    If you get the screen to change/repair, it means that the Setup program has detected that you have already installed the plugin.

    Do you not see the file here:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins
    

    Its file name is: np - mswmp.dll

    If the file is missing, I suggest to delete and then reinstall the plugin.

    Edit: By removing and then reinstalling I mean using the delete button under the modification and repair buttons in the Setup program, and then run Setup to reinstall.

  • Why Firefox 5 will not see the Windows Media Player Plugin?

    Hello useful Mozilla expert,

    When I click on a link to play a standard WMV video in Firefox 5, in the movie player window it is said 'Click here to download the'.

    When I click on 'Click here to download the plugin' in Firefox 5, I get a panel of Firefox that says I need to Windows Media Player 11, but I already Windows Media Player 12 and the browser Firefox WMP plugin installed on this computer... it worked fine in Firefox 3.6.

    If I then click to install the Windows Media Player 11 plugin, it goes to another Firefox sign that says: ' no plug-ins have been installed, Windows Media Player 11 - no available '. Then, there is a "manual install" button, and when I click, it takes me to a third party plugin site called 'InteroperabilityBridges.com' which has a plugin Firefox WMP dated April 2007 available.

    Here is the link he gives... http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/Windows-Media-Player-Firefox-plugin-download

    When I check my Panel "programs and features" in Windows 7 on my control panel, I can see that I have already installed something called, "Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin" installed and it is dated 10/24/2010 and it is version 1.0.0.8

    Despite having already the required plugin installed and showing in my control panel, programs and features, this WMP plugin does not appear on my plugins Firefox 5 Panel. So I tried to re - install with the installer of origin and available to the above URL Setup (they seem to be the same, except my installer of origin has a date of 2010).

    I also tried the 'fix' option in the setup of the plugin... it still does not appear in Firefox 5, nor this browser will play a WMV file in the integrated test related troubleshooting page plugin Mozilla WMP player, or other pages that embedded the WMV players.

    So the question is, why is Firefox 5 demanding I install a Windows Media Player plug-in older, version 1.0.0.8 of 2007 when I have already installed...? and why it won't work?

    I went through all the troubleshooting information in Mozilla and go to the page dedicated to this subject and nothing works...
    https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/using%20The%20Windows%20Media%20Player%20plugin%20with%20firefox

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/Port25/archive/2007/04/16/Windows-Media-Player-plug-in-for-Firefox.aspx

    What is the solution? The upgrade again for the 3rd time in the last 2 months, this is not an option... I'm tired of going through all the difficult steps of the upgrade and find what has changed and rejected another upgrade of the browser Mozilla and re - install plugins, extensions, modules and customizations and repair everything that does not work, as I always do now with Firefox 5.

    It seems that as soon as I get most things squared away in a new browser from Mozilla, then they came out with three new releases, so when I'm still struggling with the FF5 version (as I am now) there will be version 9 I get annoying constant 'reminders' upgrade to.

    Thank you

  • Windows Media Player continues to appear makes unusable keyboard

    Hello, I have a Satellite A135-S2276 laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.

    My problem starts when the keyboard is wet by the rain. I replaced the keyboard and whenever I hit him any key on the keyboard windows media player appears and makes the unusable keyboard. I tried everything to fix, uninstall and reinstall the software and the hardware, but still does not work. Checked the device manager says its working properly. Uninstall media player in Add/Remove Programs, don't disable services, windows media player, still no luck. I have'nt tried regedit still do not know what to change it.

    You have an idea? Is there a any function that could block the keyboard? But I do not, coz I can type a number/letters of 1-2 then the wmp appears and I can't type more. There is no numlk/stop scroll on this keyboard. The keyboard was shortened to media player. I can use the computer without a problem using an external keyboard.
    I spend a lot of time trying to fix it, but the problem won't go away.

    Could you help me please? Thank you

    The problem is quite complicated and it is not easy to understand what the problem is here.

    What you need is the final hardware/software keyboard and test functionality. So I recommend you to get somewhere HDD and replace the original one. On this new HARD drive install OS using the original Toshiba Recovery disk you got with your laptop.

    After doing this you will be perfectly installed OS with perfectly configured hardware. Do not install some additional software test just keyboard and the functionality of WMP. If everything is OK, you know that the keyboard works properly and described problem may somehow be software related issue.

    If the problem persists you know for sure that the described problem is hardware related issue and it should be repaired.

    In my opinion, it's easier to know what is the real problem.
