  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.

• 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.

  Original title: Windowo Media Player error

  Why do I get an error whenever I try to view a video WMV?

  Here's what he said:

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer.

  Is it really not installed? I double click on the video on other computers and it works fine.

• Windows Media Player won't find the files on the second hard drive

  Hi hope you can help with this.

  I have Windows 7 and Windows Media Player 12 on my PC.

  My office has two hard drives, one for the operating system and all programs and another larger (drive J:\) for all my files.

  All my audio files are stored in the J:\Audio folder, and this folder is also the default location for my music library (such as configured in Windows and WMP).

  When I load WMP files in J:\Audio are not displayed in the music library.

  If I right click on music > manage a music library and then manually delete the J:\ from the list of library locations, and then re-add it, WMP adds all the files to the library (a process that takes about 20 minutes).

  BUT if I close WMP and re - open again, these files are missing once again.

  It seems that WMP has a blind spot of my second hard drive.

  Any suggestions for what I can do to remedy this?

  Thank you very much!

  Neil.

  Well, I think I found a solution for me at least.

  There is an answer on this thread who has contributed to:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-pictures/songs-do-not-appear-in-the-Windows-Media-Player/a6e80b2e-7367-4529-9dab-5a38ba4167a5?page=5

  This is the fifth detention by djkel.

  This is a summary:

  To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
   
  1. exit Windows Media Player.
  2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
  3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
  Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  One of the files that I had to delete not able to be removed first because "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" was used. I was able to follow the steps on this page to temporarily stop the service and allow the file to be deleted:

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-disable-Windows-7-Media-Player-network-sharing-service-wmpnetwk/

  Then when I have opened WMP 12 database has been repopulated with my files... and all files remain when the 12 WPM has been closed and then reopened. I hope it's a permanent fix.

  Not sure if this will help your problem, Jeff, but I hope that.

• Windows Media Player will not play music files - need to reset the file path

  I'm trying to access my music on an external drive (g) using windows media player. The player is looking for music in the E: drive, which is a separate external drive that my friend uses for its iTunes. How to reset the path to the file for windows media player? It gives me the possibility of rerouting individually paths files, but not a lot of re - routing. I have reset the default settings, reinstalled the drive external, even enabled/activated on WMP (of the Panel).

  I tried. The drive G:\ was included in the WMP library before this problem (and to make sure, I deleted and added it). Despite this, the paths for each song pointed toward the drive E:\.  I solved the problem by deleting all of your WMP library (not files) and restart the media player. The files were then reread with the correct file paths.
