    I am running Windows Media Center and have a 6 Ceton infinitv tuner connected to my network.  Since a few weeks things have worked very well.  Now suddenly after installing a faster wifi adapter, I get messages such as unable to find tuner or all tuners are busy... who don't feel like I can always go to the tuner by Explorer or chrome, by typing the address of it and it arises but also shows that it is set on the channels that I am no longer watching.  Any ideas on why WMC is suddenly acting when the only thing I did was install an a6200 netgear adapter, nothing has changed.

  • Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close, heartbreaking.

    Recently, while ripping the cd to Windows Media Player 11 on XP Service Pack 3, I'm frequently getting the message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close."  It happens usually during the second or third disc.  I then close and reopen and am immediately able to rip the CD.  Sometimes the player will immediately be closed as soon as I click on "start rip."   Any ideas?

    The same thing happens if you rip to MP3 or WMA?

    Post here the technical details of the accident. Go to Start- run , type eventvwr.msc , and then press ENTER.

    In Event Viewer, access to the application log and look for an error in the list, there should be two entries for the last crash. Double-click on these two events and copy/paste their description in your post.

    To access the CBS, you need to run as administrator or connection with the default Administrator account.  Please send the newspaper here.  Also, did you try to scan for viruses and malware?

    When I browse my library of videos in Windows Media Player 11 on Windows XP SP3, I got a message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close." The message does not appear immediately, but after about 5 seconds browsing my library of videos. The details of the error are:

    Someone just tell me how to solve the problem. Apparently, some corrupt videos caused Windows Media Player to plant as soon as thumbnails of the videos have been read. I quickly changed to a non-thumbnail view, so the error would not appear (it appears only when you try to load the photos), then deleted corrupted videos. Thanks for the help, if.

  • Windows Media Player closes whenever I open it with the message "Windows Media Player has stopped working"

    Hello

    I have a XC of Aspire Acer-605, i5 with Windows 8 (bought 4 weeks ago)

    When I open Windows Media Player 12, if I play music or not, in less than a minute, a box appears that says:

    "Windows Media Player has stopped working: a problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly." Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

    The only option then is to click on "close the program".

    "Play.exe stopped working: Please send us this report to help us solve the problem and improve this software."

    The option only two then are "CANCEL" or to type my email and the problem then click on 'send report '. I did the second and nothing heard back.

    XBOX media player works, but I don't want to use it.

    I already scanned with McFee virus and it found nothing. I recently remove a virus from my computer. The problems may have started after that.

    Can you help me to solve my problem?

    After days and days of the trial, an online chat with a technician Microsoft (which was useless) I finally found a suggestion that worked... I had to create a new user account with administrative privileges. Media worked perfectly in this new account! I then spent ages downloading the files from my old account before deleting completely. It took a long time and has been a real pain, but at least it works now :-). Good luck to all. I hope this works for you xx
