original title: Media Player Act up

Hi Johnson,

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft community.

I understand that the Media player on your computer connects to the server only after trying several times. I would like to know if it is incorrect.

To understand the issue better supply more information.

a. you are able to connect to Internet in other applications without any problem?

b. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

c. What is the accurate and complete, message displayed when it is unable to connect to the server?

Method 1:

I suggest that you run the Windows media player troubleshooting tool. Check out the link and follow the steps.

    3. What is the security software installed on the computer?

    If it's something you downloaded, it may be copy protected by DRM, in which case you may not burn it to a CD or DVD.

    Here are a few things to try:

    1. make sure that the disc is clean.

    2. try a different brand of blank discs.

    3. stop all other programs that are running.

    Method 3:

    If you have any third-party burning software, I suggest you temporarily Uninstall it and then try to burn the disc using Windows Media Player.

    Note: Reinstall the software after the trial.

    Method 4:

    Temporarily disable all programs that could activate themselves, while burning is in progress, such as screensavers or anti-virus programs.

    This is the last error I get. Web site of Microsoft, and then said: you received the C00D1236 error message when you use Windows Media Player. Cannot sync the file.

    So, what led up to it is:

    1 problems with the device for a long time.

    2. Finally studied and found the latest firmware and update the device. This fixed some problems, which is excellent, but caused worse problems.

    3. I was getting: "Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file may be in use, you won't have access to the computer on which the file is stored, or your proxy settings are may not be incorrect. "on several random files. He could do and then if I deleted everything and tried again, it could do with different files. He took too long between files during synchronization. So, I found this post: http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=clip&message.id=18501&query.id=12003#M18501 and formatted with Windows Media Player. (I've now formatted every way possible, I think.) Of course, we fixed it. Problem files synchronized immediately, but then almost all my other files could not synchronize with the most recent error.

    A. in addition, the playlist does not work. Even if I get the playlist on the device, there is no songs in there. Songs/podcasts are only available through other classifications.

    B. After you have installed the program to update the firmware, there is now a remnant TSR who dies when I plug my video. "Universal firmware updater for Sandisk Sansa MP3 players has stopped working". Can I disable or uninstall this program, but it's just another problem. I am running Vista with all latest patches.

    Any help? You will be able to synchronize all files and playlists will work well.

    AHA! I think that I thought about it. I deleted all files in the Cache files of Player\Transcoded of AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media and now everything is sync again.

    He always does this weird thing once again. When the screen is black and I'm listening to something, if I hit the ring of command, as for example, hit the screen do not necessarily come back. I guess I should start another thread for this. It seems that there are different features that work better or worse according to the USB mode.
