  Windows Media Player won't play the .zip files. How to see or play these files? I'm 67 and not tech savvy thanks for the help.

  Hello

  ZIP files are compressed, so you need to unzip and then play the content if the
  content is of type WMP files.

  =====================================
  It seems that you did not actually transfer files... did you
  check files on the jumpdrive to see if they would play?

  Might be interesting to try another.

• Media Player won't play content protected after the restoration of PC

  Media Player support?

  Media usage rights acquisition.

  I can't plays music, that I bought in the past. I also don't remember the user name and password with the fact that he said that I signed. In fact, I don't remember signing up! I have a password / Windows Live account, but who does not work either. I restored my PC completely, but re entered the backup files, most of which. I have Media Player 11 update and that seems to be the moment where I lost the rights of acquisition, but this is not certain.

• Media Player will not play music that is sent to me in files in outlook

  I have an e-mail with an attached file that says play now or download in zip. Neither one works. I download the zip file but it does not open, I hit play now and nothing more. I have Vista if that makes a difference. Please help if possible because it is a song that my older sister and I registered a long time ago.

  Hi Dave,.

  1. What is the format of the file you are trying to play?
  2. What is the accurate and complete error message you get?
  3. are you able to play all the other files?

  Method 1: I suggest you open the same music file in another computer and see if it works.

  Method 2: If the same music file running on different computers, then I suggest that run you the fixit from the following link:

  Fix Windows Media Player video and other media or http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/ question library

  Keep us updated on the status of the issue.

• Media Player will not play music files now that he used to play.

  I have Windows Vista and my media player has recently decided that it will not play some music files that it used to play. When I try to read, I got the error message saying that the file type is not supported by the player, or that the file was compressed by using a codec that does not support the player. Why has it started to do this, and what can I do about it? He is not doing it with all the music files, only some of them.

  Hello

  The ASF Format (Advanced Systems) is the preferred Windows Media file format. With Windows Media Player, if the appropriate codecs are installed on your computer, you can play audio content, video content, or both, that is compressed with a wide variety of codecs and that is stored in an .asf file.

• Media Player won't play my dlna Server files

  Howdy. I'm listening to music stored on my phone to my laptop android using Windows media player. I have Windows Vista and Media player 11.

  I use a Motorola Droid Bionic.  My phone is able to locate the files on the PC, but never, Media player recognizes or load the files from the phone.

  The phone is on the network. I see that in the network window. Also, I welcomed the "unknown device" that appears in the media sharing in Media Player, but never, it load or display the files on my phone that I can play.

  I looked in the "Add library...". ' option to see if there was a file on my phone that I needed to have the Media Player monitor, but nothing shows. The radial button for ' my folders and those of others that I can access "is selected.

  Any suggestions of what I should try next?

• The xbox 360 Media Player no longer plays music after that I upgraded my CPU. Error message: media sharing service has been terminated

  Original title: the xbox 360 Media Player plays more music after I upgraded my CPU

  I have Vista 64 SP2.  The service runs for 5 seconds and then I get the message that she stopped. He was works well for years (my Xbox 360 sharing), I'm guessing he stopped a few weeks ago after I put in a slightly faster processor. I watched a some tech posted and tried to run the program which seeks the corrupted system files, but the only files that it could not pay had to do with the sidebar Windows. I have removed and put back my media extender, I thought that it worked because I've seen (from my xbox) miniature images, videos and music counting upward, as they have been added and I could see them. But if I take one he freezes for a few seconds and then says the media sharing service took end (or something like that). Then, I go to my PC and see that it stops. I can restart, but it only lasts for 5 to 10 seconds.

  I also say a post about deleting files in C:\Program Data\Microsoft\DRM, but I have all the files in there. Just a server folder empty.

  Hello

• 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.

• Windows media player won't erase music

  my Media Player, somehow, made several copies of my music. I could do it on an accident or something I guess, idk. All I do is erase the entire library in media player. But when I tried to delete the songs, it only show this small window that says WORK and when goes all the music is still there. Please help, its very frustrating.

  Sorry if I have errors of grammar in this issue.

  Hi Aaron,

  I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused. I'll certainly try and help you remove all of the Windows Media Player duplicate entries.

  This problem can also occur if the Windows Media Player library database is corrupted.

  Could you please answer a few troubleshooting questions before we start?

  1. Since when are you facing the issue?

  2. do you have an anti-virus installed on the computer program?

  3. are you aware of any recent software or the hardware in the computer changes?

  You can run the Troubleshooter in the Windows Media Player library and check if it helps.

  You can also run the Troubleshooter in Windows Media Player Settings and check.

  If the problem persists, you can erase the Media Player database and check if it helps.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  Click Start, all programs, Accessories, run, type%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

  Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  Note You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  Restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Step 2:

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  Click Start, click run, type %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoftand then click OK.

  If you are running Windows Vista, click Start, all programs, Accessories, run, type%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

  Select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  Restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Here is an article on removing items in the media library. Take a look and check.

  Hope this helps and provide us more information if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.
