Media Player won't launch

I've been running a HPa6130n for the past four years with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Today, I tried to start Windows Media Player, but it would not launch. Is not very clever to solve problems of this nature I don't know what to do. I tried to launch Media Player anyway, I know, but without success. I tried the solution that has been in the "find answers" section but that did not help. No matter what I click on Media Player does not open. It is as if she is no longer in my programs (but it shows that it is). Any suggestions?

Hello

Have you recently installed another player?

Right-click on taskbar - Task Manager - processes and see if WMPlayer.exe is already hidden.
If the end then on her process.

  • Windows Media Player won't rip CD more. I put it in MP3 format. I get the COOD1OD2 error message.

    Windows Media Player won't rip CD more. I put it in MP3 format. I get the COOD1OD2 error message, and by virtue of the clarification it indicates that the error message is COODOFBO which says that the setting of the CD in Device Manager do not match parameter of cd in the drive. I use to be able to rip the CD months ago. I just upgraded to WMP 11 because the sansa clip has not been recognized and updated WMP. How can I fix this.

  • Windows Media Player won't play videos

    I have Windows XP Home Sp 3 with all updates.

    There are three computers in my house, all with the same OS.

    We'll play videos and memories on TV with Windows Media Player slideshows, but others will not.  Who will play has been longer and maybe have a better codec.  Otherwise, I don't know why.

    I prepare a thesis on slide TV show which will be sent to about 100 people.  It is the DVD-R format and will probably be played on DVD players for which there should be no compatibility issues.  Some will want to see on their computers, however, and this is where the problem arises.  I use mostly WinDVD, so I have no problem, but what do the people who have that WMP?

    I don't understand why WMP should do by default.  Do I say to people who want to see the DVD on his computer?

    Hello

    You have converted this file to windows media player supported file types or they should have DVD decoder installed on the computer.
