No Media Player - codec errors when you try to play a DVD
Media Player will not play the DVD. It is a DVD. It keeps saying that I need to lower the resolution? Really, this cannot be more obtuse.

copy a group of photos w/music (Smilebox program) on dvd;
After following the instructions of SMilebox to burn "images set to music" on DVD, to the attempt of DVD playback, I got following error message: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because the disc prohibits playback in your region of the world. You must obtain a disc that is intended for your geographic region. We live in the Washington area. I didn't know that DC was considered an unusual geographic region?
Hey nongeekbetty,
The DVD is encoded for a different region. Most DVD readers only works with DVDs that are coded for the computer was purchased in the same region. So if you buy a DVD in one country and then try to play on one computer from another country this DVD could not play.
Step 1:
Make sure that the DVD region is set to the appropriate region:
a. Click Start.
(b) in the search box, type Device Manager.
c. right-click on the DVD drive.
d. right-click on it and select Properties.
e. make sure that the region will be resolved.
For your information:
Step 2:
Also temporarily disable User Account Control (UAC) and check it out.

Note: Activate it once you are done with the check.

I have redownloaded a game that has been previously loaded on my computer, now I get this error when you try to play the game "Memory Access Violation".
Your sound card that is more than adequate.
If the game was previously installed and worked fine then maybe it is not been completely uninstalled.
I suggest you uninstall the game, look in the registry for any left over entries that can refer to the game.Then restart and reinstall the game.
Alternatively, you can try to install in compatibility mode. If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
Use the following steps:
(1) right click on the program
2) click Properties
3) click on the Compatibility tab

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. (((PLEASE HELP)))
I understand that this has been a matter of repetition and I made the suggestions listed and nothing works. This just started happening, although downloading songs, and once they are finished I'm not able to play them with Windows Media Player. The initial message indicates that the file has an extension that is not recognized by Windows Media Player.
I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows Vista Home. Any suggestions? What should I chahnge how I download and save music?
Hey Taylor09,
You may find that you are getting this message in Windows Media Player due to one of the following reasons.
a. you try to play a file that is not supported by the player.
b. you are trying to play a file that the player does not support, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.
Step 1:
Confirm that you are trying to play a supported file type. The following article lists the types of files (formats) supported by Windows Media Player.
Information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player
Note that if you tried to play the file type is included in this table, the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.
Step 2:
Download the necessary codec to play the file.

run-time error when you try to play new worlds of star trek
When I try to play new worlds of star trek, I get a runtime error and the game ends. I tried to put the game as if it was on windows 95, but when I try to play the game then he ask for me to use the original cd, but the original cd is in the cd tray already. I tried to locate the support of the game website, but I guess that since the game is kind of old they do not support for it more. Right now I am running the beta of windows 7, but I don't know if it perhaps is the problem or not. I also searched areas of windows tech support anything on errors, but nothing shows up on my type of runtime error.
frankster195,
The game worked on this computer under another operating system? If you have a Core duo, it may not work on it. Also try different compatibility modes, not only of Windows 95. Try all of them - I have heard that some people got to work in NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 mode. Try searching the Internet using the exact phrase that you put in your header post - you'll find forums for players who might have solutions for you. Let us know if this helped, or if you still need help.Thank you
