• Error when trying to play file type flv on Windows media player

  When you try to play a file (.flv) on Windows Media Player, it invites the selected file with an extension (.flv) of the type of file that is not recognized. Then asks me if I want to play the file. When I click Yes, an error box pops up saying: file type or the codec may not be recognized by the reader. Any solution please?

  No.... the commercial full version of Expression Encoder 4
  is not necessary.

  When the. FLV files were not included in the folder...
  you open the window of the drop and select "All Files"?

  If you have no success with Expression Encoder 4...
  the following freeware can be worth a try:

  There are many converters available on the net... the
  the following link is an example:

• TIFF files not found by Windows Media Player

  TIFF files in the Windows Player 11 drive into monitored folders are not added to the Windows Player library. . JPG files added to the watched folder added to the library.

  Windows Explorer displays thumbnails of the .tiff files that can be opened in Photo Gallery, etc.

  Please indicate why action to take for that Windows Media Player automatically detects the .tiff files (which are listed as being supported).

  Hello

  If some of your albums are missing album art, you can manually add an image of your choice. When you do so, the image is embedded in the file, and the player will always show the file incorporated as the album art (as opposed to any album art that the player can be downloaded online database).

  1. Click the library tab, and then browse to the album that is missing art.
  2. Find a picture that you want to use for album art (the picture can be on your computer or on a Web page), right-click on the image and then click copy.

  The original image can be in one of the following formats: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF.

  1. In your library, right-click the album art box, and then click Paste Album Art.

  A copy of the image is in each of the songs on this album. The copy of the image is automatically resized to the size appropriate and converted to the format JPEG before it is embedded in the file. The original image file is not changed.

  Note:

  If you cannot add album art manually, verify that you are allowed to edit the file. For example, right-click the file, and then click Open file location. In the folder, right click the file and click Properties, and then clear the read-only check box if it is selected.

• How can I fix see "obsolete driver is no longer supported by Windows Media Player ' on my Win XP Tablet?

  I have a 3 own Motion LE1600 Windows XP svc pk tablet. I run Windows Media Player v 11.0.5721.5280. I don't have any IDEA of pilots. The songs seem to play very well.

  So, what happened WITH THAT? How can I solve this problem?

  You download the .zip file on your hard disk and unzip it on your hard drive?  "If so, you should work with Explorer and not Internet Explorer, then"open in a new tab"should not be an option.  What happens if your right click on "setup.exe" and select "open"?

  You are an administrator on your machine?  The drivers require that you be logged as an administrator in order to install the drivers.  The quick test is to right click on the button 'start '.  If "Open all users" is one of the options that opens, then you are an administrator.

  Other .exe files open or is it just this one?  If you have a problem with all .exe files, you may have a problem of association of files with ".exe" files
