  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.

• Distinct mp3 and wma formats in windows media player

  During my first installation of windows 7 it separated albums of mp3 and wma while they were not mixed I accidentally changed that... How to return to the way it was?  There seems to be no option more whenever they come out with a new media player, I am very frustrated...  Here's what happened I put music on my iphone of course it converted my mp3 songs, the problem is that it has doubled everything...  I saw that 1 song was separated from the rest of the songs on an album because it was a wma and others were mp3 (I still to this day don't know how it happened), I was going through the removal of all duplicate albums which were to WMA...  I tried to put the song I mentioned comes back with the rest of the songs on this album and multimedia reader told me it separates music by file type but I can do anyway, from here all merges duplicate albums so I have a ton of songs repeated on my computer, it cleaning in this way is very time consuming so I like it to separate the songs as before , but I can't go back to the way it was and I can't find answers on the web...

  Hello Sephiroth726,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.

  In Windows Media Player 12, it is not an option to remove duplicate files, although the media files can be manually changed. You can also view the link below with a similar problem:

  Hi, only come to find out that my Player Windows Media won't play WMA files - they used to!  She still plays MP3 files, so his works, and it will play WMA files through my Denon AV receiver when I send them this Windows Media Player for her.  And when the WMA files are copied in my SD card, they play in my car stereo.

  It says 'Windows Media Player has encountered a problem reading the file' and puts a little red cross next to him.

  I have not installed anything, was only made updates windows update regularly.  Running Windows 7 with the current version of Windows Media Player - said current when running try to update.

  What's wrong?

  Thank you.

  Linda.

  Hi, I do not know what a codec pack is so unlikely, I installed a?  BUT have been looking more help sites and found someone else with the same problem as mine here.

  The solution:

  Run cmd.exe as administrator, and then type sfc/scannow

  and he fixed it!

  Thanks for your help - hope this helps someone else now.

• Windows Media Player will not play. WMA files

  Windows Media Player will not play. WMA files, but all the rest that he will play codecs for.

  What is going on?

  Reset Media Player and accepted the default set and makes no difference.

  Still will not play. WMA files.

  This has happened on three different machines using hundreds of different. WMA files and none of them will play.

  All of these files were torn to the folder of music with Media Player.

  SFC/scannow seems to have done the trick for a user here. See:

• Windows Media Player will not play files .avi or .mpg - Error Message: C00D1199

  Windows Media Player won't play .avi or .mpg files; files which I know to be readable by Windows Media Player. In addition, this program has played these accurate files in the month of August. The files are readable on other programs. I searched other forums, but it is impossible to find an answer to this problem, except the recommendation of a codec - although I don't know how I have "lost" the codec in the past two months. Today, spontaneously and erratically, Windows Media Player recognizes the .mpg files, but not the .avi. Microsoft Security Essentials have installed and up to date, if it is not a virus. Have problems in other programs with the recognition of previously readable files. Not sure if it's related, so I'll post in separate... forums but I'll give you a link if you want to. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

• Windows media player won't add my music to it

  I changed the setting in the player to add music through it, I played, but he stopped adding them after about 8 albums, it will appear in the course reading, but it is by the way it's the version that comes on windows 8, when you buy I just checked the settings I have to add media to the library when played files and add multimedia files remotely to the library when played as the type of files are in mp3 format

  Hello

  This could be due to problems with Windows Media Player database might be corrupted.

  You did the changes for the Windows Media Player settings or files associated with it before this problem?

  As with any database, the information that is stored in the database or the database itself can be damaged. The Windows Media Player library database can usually recover automatically from the database. However, the database may be corrupted in such a way that Windows Media Player is unable to recover the database.

  I suggest you to rebuild the database and check if it solves the problem for you. Follow the steps:

  Method 1:

  You can follow the steps:

  (a) press simultaneously the Windows and R. box, type the following command and press ENTER:

  %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Media Player

  (b), select all the files in the folder, and then click delete in the menu file.

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

  (c) restart the Windows Media Player.

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Check if you are able to add files to the list of add-in player. If this is not the case, proceed to the next method.

  Method 2:

  Follow the steps to solve the problem:

  (a) press Windows and R key together. Type the following command and press enter:

  %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Media Player

  (b) select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the File menu.

  (c) restart the Windows Media Player.

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  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 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 Media Player will not play a. MOV file

  I have a new Dell laptop with Windows 7 Professional and Windows Media Player will not play a '. MOV' video file completely (the video but not sound). I am told by Microsoft Windows Media Player will not play a MOV file, and I need Codec VLC add on or another player who will play MOV file. What is the best solution and if its for download a Codec VLC, then what is the best source?

  Guess why?  [ :-) ]

  Types of files supported by Windows Media Player:
  https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

  Which was probably that there was a lack of understanding between the container file and the codec here (in November 2013).  He says he's a "MOV" does not mean that he plays with the same codecs as all other MOV files.  ;-)

  It is perhaps a better place to read up on this:
