  • Media Player will not play mp4 or mpeg1 files. When I try the system crashes and it goes to the blue screen of death

    I'm running a quad core with 8 GB of windows 7 with office 2013 RAM.  All are clean installs.  When I try to play a video file on Media player my system breaks down and made a memory dump.  This also happens when I try and put a video in PowerPoint.  I am able to play these videos on QuickTime on the same machine.  The videos play fine on another machine of Windows 7 office 2013.  We use this system for presentations churches.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    1. Do you have an error message when you play this video?
    2. What Media Player do you use?
    3. Did you recent hardware or changes to the software to the computer before the show?

    I suggest using Windows Media Player, then try the following steps. This problem may occur because of codecs. A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

  • Windows Media Player will not play the .mp4 files after installation IE10 - BEX error message

    Back to a system restore point previous fixed the problem and I could again play the files in Media Player, but during the night that Windows updates installed and the morning I could not play these .mp4 files once more. So I restored to a point earlier, changed my updates so that they are is more automatic and by installing each day at a time, I finally isolated the problem in Internet Explorer 10. If I install that, just Windows Media Player will not play these files.
    I tried a manual update of Internet Explorer 10, turn off all the options of toolbars shit and everything, thinking that when it automatically installs those who may be included, but that has not helped. Had to go back to my previous IE10 restore point. So no matter what, Internet Explorer 10 kills my ability to play .mp4 on Windows Media Player files.
    I don't have toolbars running on IE9 at all.
    I know that's obvious answer is 'do not install Internet Explorer 10' or if I do, download another player for .mp4 files. But the fact is, it shouldn't happen, it is indicative of something being wrong, and I would like TO be able to install Internet Explorer 10 AND use Windows Media Player to play these files. If someone else has had this problem, or know a way to fix it?
    Here are my system specs:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
    Intel Core i5 - 3350P @ 3.10 GHz CPU
    ASRock H77M LGA 1155 motherboard
    8 GB DDR3 240 - Pin SD RAM

    And all my programs are installed on this:

    I'd appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you!!
     
    It sounds like your question. I think you should uninstall this update and
    hide and see if that solves your problem. Please report.

    I tried myself after experiencing the same problem and error code. I uninstalled the KB2670838 update, and then my Windows Media Player finally worked again. I also found that IE 10 must be uninstalled as well. Installation of IE 10 also automatically installs the update of KB2670838 platform. After uninstalling KB2670838, IE 10 automatically uninstall with it, better you hide two updates so that they do not install again. From the link in the previous post, I learned that the platform update is having problems of conflict with the AMD drivers. Good luck to you and hope this helps.

  • Windows updates will not be installed. Windows media player will not play. Latest updates failed, error notice: 800703EE, 800b0100, 80070026. AVG says security "update server failed" help!

    Help! Last year, Internet Explore kept closing (Data Execution Prevention) so I switched to Firefox, which is great, but since then Windows media Player will not work.

It's a new laptop me issued by the University last year, is come pre-programmed with Vista and Office, Media Direct and other programs, most of which I didn't use.  Technical support here at uni cant/wont help... can you?

    Trudy,
    Try the following and let us know the results.
    Run these tools:

    System File Checker

    The system update tool

    Take note of the results of the System File Checker.  Then after you run the two, run Windows Update.

    You are able to update of AVG?
    Any other antivirus (i.e. Norton, McAfee, etc.) has already been installed on this computer?
    When you say 'Nothing' that you tried to install?
    If you disable AVG and then run Windows Update you get a different outcome\error?

  • My windows media player will not play a DVD

    My windows media player will not play a DVD: Microsoft Windows 95 Version 5.1 (Build 2600.XP_SP3_gdr.111025 - 1629:Service Pack 3).  Download a free version of media player to play the DVD?  Please tell me the name of the upgrade and where to find the free download version, if so.  Thank you!

    First thing that you do not run windows 95 if your build number is 2600.XP_SP3 it is a build number of windows XP.  Second, you will not be able to play DVDs using this version of windows and media player only.  The reason for this is DVD is a standard that a group of companies shut down and basically, they demand rights fees to use, it codec, which you don't have. You will need get a program that has integrated these codec (or find them somewhere).  Your best option for this is to completely abandon the but of the using Media player to play your DVD (unless you are looking to buy another piece of software).  There is a free option that I use on my machine Windows 7 Basic its called VLC is a free player that makes just about every format out there (not sure Bluray).  VLC uses its own codec (I think it's developed for the linux community orginially) rather than using the codec of the industry.  You can find the program at http://www.videolan.org/

  • Windows media player will not play videos that I created a few years back. they use to play very well; now, I received the acquired codec error message. I use wmp 11

    My old videos in my windows media player will not play. acquire CODECS rises. I get audio but not video for all the movies at home. Movies that I downloaded and clips play very well. How can I fix it. I use wmp 11.

    Hello satindoll11233,

    1. What is the exact error message you get when you try to play videos?

    2. What is the format of the videos that you try to play?

    3. are you able to play other files with Windows Media Player?

    Media Player will not be able to play video files, if there are no required codecs or video format is not supported by Media Player.

    I suggest you to check the format of the video you are trying to play. You can also try the steps in the article to resolve this problem:

  • Windows media player will not play my downloaded movies.

    Original title: windows media player will not play my downloaded movies, so I know very lil on computers! Please help me!

    I have LimeWire. I downloaded several movies and can't watch them. When I try, it automatically showed the windows media player, and then displays a message saying "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. "I looked for updates, perhaps thinking that I needed one, he says: there is no availiavle. I use the latest version of windows media player. any help would be greatly appreciated!

    It's really a simple question, easy to fix. But if you are really not that familiar with the computer, you may want to ask a friend who knows enough to help you.

    You can show it to your friend...
    What you need is to 'google' for a FREE video converter.
    Use the converter and changge movies in WMV file formats. (Sticking with the formats WMV, nothing else).
    Once the conversion is complete, you can play these movies in your Media Player.

    However, there is another alternative. Install a 3rd party media player called VLC. He plays any video fromats.
