• The Mediam player constantly updated from Windows: unnecessary files, creating unnecessary playlists and double and no way to stop the updates.

  Upgrading to windows 7 and unfortunately found with the latest version of media player. Here is a short list of what I need fixed (because I can't come back until I have decide of windows 7 is just as useless):

  1 player constantly updates whenever the program is opened (not even try to play a song or whatever it is, it starts). This creates files garbage off all, I mean ALL media files in all my shows. the first open I found myself with 2 700 new titles prior to this, all were games or software sound effects. I tried all the options of the user for what this is about updating and stop anything that even resembled an auto-update feature (although nothing seemed really appropriate).

  2. the update also adds auto-playlists, but also of new playlists 'trash' to my normal playlist section who have no related audio files or some effects files above game/software.

  3. it adds not only my multimedia player, but apparently my global media 'profile,' like the first time I went to update my itunes started all these files garbage pulling himself into thinking they were WMA to convert.

  4. the mini player mode needs an option "opacity" so it doesn't go away in circles when I don't have my mouse hovering over him.

  5. attach your download links for skins/visualizations, etc. I used the direct link for something that might not have the opacity of the skin problems regular mini Player and ended up with a file that has frozen on the media player. After using System Restore, I tried another skin on the direct link is a media player and got the same result. I gave a third try (after restoring again) and got the same result. Nice link/beta test...

  Moreover, to use this computer to the direct sound, so I need a little my files, clean, organized, and without all the garbage you are dull upgtade is cramming my complete with hard drive. Thank you...

  Hello bouttokillbill,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.

  When you start Windows Media Player for the first time, it automatically searches certain default folders in the library music, pictures, videos and recorded TV.  If you add or remove files from these libraries, the Player automatically updates its available media files.

  For more information about adding items to the Windows Media Player library, see the link below:

  Add items to the Windows Media Player library

  To view the folders monitored by Windows Media Player, click on organize: manage libraries in the Windows Media Player menu.

  You can also submit your comments for Windows 7 to the address provided below:

  It works ok with only the power adapter is plugged in and the battery out of the laptop? The battery charge ok if the laptop is turned off? The laptop works for a long time reasonable with just the battery?  I've seen this kind of problem with a Toshiba machine that used a NEC/CATHERINE 0E128 Proadlizer high switching frequency DC/DC Converter output capacitor.  I doubt that your computer has this chip but the problem and the function are similar.  It is a device surface and can cause the laptop to have a problem with the battery and the power adapter plugged in at the same time.  Many times this you will also charge the battery when the computer is turned off, but not when it is turned on. Sometimes it will not allow your to run Notepad with only the attached power adapter and the battery removed. Just to think.
