Missing WMP...?

My Toshiba laptop has done an update and my WMP 12 seems to have disappeared. It's not on my desk or in my Start menu, and it is not in the Recycle Bin. When I try to open WMP from the bar of I get a message that says "the item you selected is not available. It may have been moved, deleted or renamed. "But I can still play music in WMP when I click on the songs in my music folder. I also check the list of programs on my laptop and it is not there. Where at - it go?

Claire,

WMP 12 is located in this folder:

C:\Program Files (x 86) \Windows Media Player

The executable file is wmplayer.exe.

  • After the last update wmp plugin is missing in Add-ons, but is still correct installed. Reinstall will not work. What can I do?

    I been lissening to online radio. Necessary to update Firefox. After the last update the windows media player plugin has disappeared from the list of Add-ons, while always being correct installation. I reinstalled it, but that has not worked. I have replaced/deleted some files in firefox as suggested, for similar problems, but that no longer works.
    Now, I can not play wmp files on firefox.

    Hope you can help me solve this problem.

    Found a solution:

    Go in Subject: config and change plugins.load_appdir_plugins from false to true. Apparently FF21 assigns the value false by default causing it to not detect plug-ins installed in this way.

    Easy solution!  With the right button of the taskbar, choose Toolbars, click on Windows Media Player to select.

    It should work for you, otherwise you may need to update Windows Media Player to the latest version, then try the above.  Also, remember that WMP and the mini version are two different programs, as well.

  • No results found for: asf codec missing in wmp 12 (this forum)

    My computer is a clean install of Windows 7 x 64 built with a (Windows 7 compatible) Intel DG45ID motherboard.  I had problems with his stuttering during playback of AVCHD video files (files of camera video sony with file extension ".m2ts"). This problem occurs if I installed Intel high-definition audio driver or install the driver of Windows 7 by default.

    To test my basic configuration of windows, I went to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992 which explains Windows Media (.wma, .wmv, .asf, .wm) formats.  I downloaded the test files and when I tried to play "wmt.asf", that should be played by Windows Media Player 12 (installed by installing Windows 7) I get an error message:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play, burn, rip, or synchronize the file because a required audio codec is not installed on your computer."

    Based on Microsoft support link above, it is my understanding that the required codec is installed when installing Windows 7.  So my question is, 'how to WMP 12 lack of codecs and solve these problems?'

    To eliminate all the other issues, I built a new computer TEST last night with DH55HC motherboard the Intel processor i5 - 660 and 4 GB of RAM. I will install Windows 7 x 64 (with Intel and all updates Windows 7 drivers, but no other software) and see if I get the same results. If I do, my conclusion is that Windows 7 does not load the required codec.

    316992 KB has not been updated since May 2008, so it contains no information on Windows Media Player 12.

    Test1:  I installed Windows 7 and Intel drivers (need driver LAN for Internet access) on the new computer TEST.  I played a number of media files which all worked without problem: mp3, rmi, mid, wma, wav, wmv, mpg, and m2ts AVCHD video (m2ts file extension) played without stuttering audio and the audio and video were also synchronized.  I got tired of playing an asf file example I downloaded on the Internet and he also played without any problems.  I went back to KB316992 and tried to download and play the sample file "wmt.asf", which resulted in the same error message reported earlier.

    Conclusions:  1. the files were corrupted on the original computer when I installed Nero 8 Essentials and then uninstalled Nero to install a newer version, Nero 9 Reloaded (this was the only installed software that is multimedia).  I don't know why Nero Software caused corruption, but Nero 8 Essentials is not compatible with Windows 7.  Information on "Nero 9 Reloaded" indicates the compatibility of Windows 7.

    2. the example of asf to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992 file does not work in Windows Media Player 12 and should be fixed or replaced when KB 316992 is updated to include Windows Media Player 12 (or whatever the action Microsoft decides is appropriate).

  • Windows Media Player ActiveX plays do not image, but the stand alone WMP application. Why?

    I use my Windows Media Player v11 with extra codec to play mp4 files (mp4 are not supported by default with WMP 11, so I had to install a codec). It works very well in the stand-alone application, but when I use the ActiveX control in the regulation, it does not use the codec and I get only sound... no picture. I thought that the ActiveX was merely an interface to the same application of base used by OR and the stand alone media player. And if it's the same kernel, it must use the same codec. What Miss me?

    I have a tip for you. If you download Quicktime 7 (QT), you can select the QT activex player (see picture). It plays mp4 and seems better. QT is free, so there shouldn't be any problem. Try and see if it make you good

    Original title: cannot install WMP11, update rollup 2

    I'm still on WMP 10 for a reason, and I wanted to connect my PC with 360 videos. I downloaded the update, but he told me to go get the Update Rollup 2 or something, so I tried to install it and he told me that I needed to go get the .NET framework 1.1 and .NET framework 1.1 SP1. I went to download them and install them, but he tells me that "the upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded is may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program".
