• Windows media player (11) starts, but does not play file

  When I double-click an audio file, WMP opens but then does not play the file.

  MP3 and WMA (and other formats) files are configurΘ for dΘmarrer with default WMP and video files to various formats still work very well.
  I can get the audio to play by doing a right click and select 'Open with' - 'WMP '.  Drag and drop files into the playlist now also does not work.
  I'm under WMP 11 on XP Pro version.
  Any ideas?

  This just started recently?
  If so, what has changed?

  Try to uninstall the codec pack, it can cause conflicts, play media files.

  If the problem persists, try reinstalling the Media Player and test.

  In addition, you can test a corrupted profile by testing under a new account:

• Windows media player 11 in XP does not play DRM files

  I have a new installation of SP3 and the latest WMP11 on XP Home.

  I get this error when I try to play any DRM file any provider:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/Webhelp/default.aspx?&mpver=11.0.5721.5262&ID=C00D11B1&ContextId=71&OriginalID=80070057
  You met the C00D11B1 error message when you use Windows Media Player.
  Original Original error error Code
  80070057 one or more arguments are invalid.

  All other types of video or audio files that are not protected by DRM play without problem, so there is no problem with the audio device or the ID3 headers because none of the DRM files I've tried are MP3s.

  Many hours of research I find that the error is returned for various problems. I tried all the solutions, and none of them solve the problem.  It may be missing or conflicting codecs like all types of files not DRM play without problem. The quartz.dll is recorded and uncorrupted. I reinstalled WMP11 several times. I have reset the DRM with Microsoft tools both Netlix and individualized WMP11 using several MS individualazition sites and by force using the command-line of the several times with each reinstall.

  The last thing I tried is to use the resetDRM tool and not to individualize and then installed Amazon Unbox for rentals and video purchases. I ran the troubleshooting included in Unbox and let individualize WMP11, then troubleshooting reported no problems with my set-up. I downloaded a free file short Amazon and although he'll play the Amazon unbox player, trying to read the file in WMP11 always returns the same error as before and therefore trying to play one of the other DRM files I have.

  If someone has another solution or an idea of what to check that the usual suspects?

  Hello

  Sometimes, this problem can be caused contributions file included with the MP3 ID3 headers. Make a copy of the file and then use an ID3 tag non - editing program Microsoft to remove or reset the file's ID3 headers.

  Caution:

  • Try to remove ID3 headers might damage the file and make it unplayable. Therefore, always make a copy of the file before editing.

• Windows Media Player for Vista, does not play my avi files and says he has a codec error?

  Came across this problem trying to put an AVI in powerpoint presentation for the school. I don't know how this happened or how to fix the error. The error indicates that windows media player is not the right codec to play the video. However, when I sent it myself and opend it upwards on another computer, which doesn't have powerpoint, it plays very well.

  I did some research as to what a codec for windows media player, that's what code and decodes the video compression. However, when I tried to download the appropriate codec file, there is nothing. Not even useful workaround solutions.

  In addition, went and downloaded quicktime and it could not read the video either.

  Any help or ideas would be greatly apreciated. Thank you!

  Hi DaisyReaper,

  Are you able to play .avi files?

  You can use your favorite search engine to download and install the latest codec for Windows Media Player. Subsequently, check if you are able to read .avi files.

• After auto update installed, Windows Vista does not start

  Individuals:
  Windows Vista Home Premium w/Service Pack 1 installed
  Dell Studio 1737, 64-bit

  Problem:
  Earlier this week (I think it's the 16th), my computer has installed an automatic Windows Update and restarted.  When she came back to the top, it says Windows could not start and asked if I would so he can try to restore the operating system to a previous point in time or if I try to restart Windows.  I tried to start Windows again (this time with my fingers crossed), but got the same message.  So I went for the #1 option and after half an hour, or so, I got a new error.  To be honest with you, I have seen so many mistakes in the last week, I don't remember exactly what he said, but I wanted to go to the advanced options, where I could choose a restore point manually.  I have put back to point restoration 6/15 and had no problem getting Windows to start.  Unfortunately... Windows REALLY asks me to install this update so at 03:00, after spending at least an hour and a half on the issue, he did an update automatic, rebooted and Windows wouldn't start again.  So, again, I am through the whole process (it's the only way I found to manually choose a restore point) and me to start Windows.  Then I disabled the automatic update in the hope that I could skip this update.  However... Windows has put the updates to install every time I put it in mode 'sleep'.  You can see where I'm going with this.  Now, any time my computer stops for some reason, Windows refuses to restart.  To make matters worse, the last time I had to go through this process, for some reason any he would not support up to 15 and I had to try again and it backwards until the 13th.  Please help me!

  You did little to restore the system.

  Hide this particular update, if you do not need!

  Remove the Vista updates; two ways to do this:

  1. a System Restore to before the updates:

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > System Restore > restore time/choose your own date > next

  If it is impossible to enter the Normal Mode, do a Safe Mode system restore:

  Press F8 at the startup/power and the list of startup options, use THE ARROW key to select Safe mode > and then press ENTER.

  System restore steps according to the info above.

  Also:

  2. click on start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

  > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

  In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

  > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

  When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the bad.

  > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

• Update of Windows Vista does not start - remains just white

  I have a new computer with Windows Vista Home Premium installed. I have updated the computer with windows updates by using the Windows Update tool.
  However, it has stopped working and I can no longer get updates or visit the update page.  I know that there are updates to install but when I open windows update, the schedule is displayed but there is nothing in it.  That is to say: in the browser bar, it says: > Control Panel > Windows Update, but the window is otherwise empty and nothing loads.  I have no error messages.  I tried to close the program, but it does not and I have to close it using Task Manager.  I also rebooted the computer several times and tried to leave for an hour or two, but still nothing happens.

  How can I update my computer?  or even reinstall windows update?  I think that the program is may be defective...

  Hello Christopher,

  I'm sorry that you have problems with your Windows Update. It takes a little the pleasure of having a new computer isn't?

  Try a few bugs, starting with the easiest:

  In the Vista Start Menu Search Bar, type run and press ENTER.

  Then, type the following, one after the other and click OK after each.

  regsvr32 jscript
  regsvr32 vbscript
  regsvr32 /i mshtml

  I hope it will work for you. If this isn't the case, you can try the following:

  Note: The following assumes that you have, or have access to the
  original Vista 32 - bit .iso or can otherwise use the file
  in the .iso image file install.wim.

  1. place the original Vista .iso image file on your hard drive.
  2 extract the iso install.wim.
  3. extract all the files from c:\windows\system32\wu*.* install.wim.
  4. place all the excerpts wu *. files in their own folder, for example, C:\wu for
  later use.
  5. run start, all programs, accessories. Right click on command prompt
  and click on run as administrator.
  6. go to your System32 directory.
  7. to replace current wu *. files in the System32 directory.
  you will need to first ownership of each of them as follows:
  Run: takeown /f "path and name ' [note: I ran this command for]
  each of the wu *. [* files, one at a time]
  then
  Run: cacls 'path and file name' / g : F
  8. replace all the wu *. files using those c:\wu
  9 save each of the original wu*.dlls in System32 - for example
  (regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll)
  10. reboot
  11 place Windows Update in manual mode as a test and run it.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950718
  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
   
  Note: A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network. Then the firewalleither blocks information or allows information to pass to your computer. If the information is blocked or throughdepends spent on your firewall settings. A firewall can prevent malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers. Windows XP, Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) include firewall software.

To do this, right-click on the icon for your antivirus program, and then click on disable. The antivirus program icon typically appears in the bottom right corner of the computer screen.

  Make sure that Windows is updated appropriately that there have been several USB updates.

  1 check that the driver letters for them, for a player, if the drive of the default drive letter is changed, what is happening.

  original title: Windows Vista does not start, turns to a blue screen HELP PLEASE!

  Help, please! So I'm panicking here, just yesterday, I tried to download the update to Itunes, and it did not work. So I followed the instructions and uninstalled the program first, but one of the applications does not uninstall correctly. I thought I could just substitute with the update and replace. The error code was 2203.

  So I thought it was right after the download all itunes thing, and when I came back to check on the download, the screen turned to this black thing with words on this subject. I decided to force closing down by pressing the power button. Now everytime I turn on the computer, it leads to the screen saying 'windows is loading files', then this blue screen with a very large arrow (the mouse). I tried pressing the F11 key and stuff, but I have no idea what to do. PLEASE REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, REALLY NEED A COMPUTER!

  Who can help me to get the right driver or learn more? Problems with the carpet * a DVD-ram uj-850 s ATA device and windows Vista.

  Hello

  The CD/DVD drive needs no special drivers!
  Vista includes a Microsoft driver that works with all CURIOUS s (CD/DVD drives)

  Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.

  A few questions; did you get any error messages? What is the status of Device Manager? Do you see yellow exclamation points?

  There is an old way to correct a similar drive problem. It worked on XP then try it on Vista OS.
  It of necessary to update the registry entry

• Windows Vista does not start upward, with success since the closure complete

  Hello world

  I actually had this problem for a long time, but I'm just now to a point where I'm ready to take a lead in fixing it.

  I can't identify when it started, but Windows Vista does not start upward, with success of a full stop. He gets to the screen where, in general, the green bars will travel across the screen, but the green bars will not come. The screen looks dim and sits there, with the text of the copyright of Microsoft Corporation. So, after not having on the mound, I have to manually shut down the computer by holding down the power button. When I try to start again, told me to go through the Startup Repair tool. If I jump the repair, I just have to meet the same problem - a computer that will not go beyond the screen "green bar".

  So, I do the Startup Repair, and told me what I do for the restoration of the system. Windows starts normally after the restoration.

  Don't forget, this happens from a full stop. To remedy this, I just never completely shut down my computer. I left running and back just at the beginning of the day. The computer may start restart, it just may not start with a full stop.

  Given the start of repair takes, literally, around 4 or 5 hours of full stops complete, accidental or power outages are a nightmare, I am obliged to wait 5 hours to get access to the computer. Fortunately, I have my laptop.

  If someone has encountered this? I saw people talking about the loop of startup repair, but that's not the point, I have. I have yet to see any discussion of my specific problem.

  Thanks in advance!
