I have windows 8 and windows media player has no video only audio clips that I play back. What can I do?

You are right. I should have specified DVD codecs and that MS
removed the possibility of reading videos DVDs.

    Multiple instances of Media Player is not supported in version 7 and greater.

    · Are instances that you are referring to the bodies shipped?

  • Satellite C50 - A - 15 L: unable to play audio or video via the media player

    Hi all

    I have problems with my player functions and media browser suddenly - it seems to have taken place after a "significant recent update" (causes more problems than the patches).

    In any case, since this update, I was unable to play video or audio files using the media player or cut and paste all the items when sorting of files.

    All very well before, but now when I pointed out and click "cut", the timer of the cuts and the window goes right to the "not responding". Drag and drop works OK, then go back to delete files.

    Regarding the multimedia files, double-click one and no response, click 'open' and right, once again, nothing...

    Everyone has experienced similar problems?
    Whether a hotfix or patch?

    Thank you very much

    Matt

    From there where I bit you have no problem with the laptop but with Microsoft System.

    "Hotmail" isn t produced by Toshiba.
    If you have problems connecting to the Hotmail account, you must contact Microsoft technical support for help.

    By the way: you can always set the system back to the beginning point of time before receiving updates.
    Windows 8 creates a point of restoration automatically when Windows updates and other system maintenance events.

    Open charm bar (Win key + c), choose the Apps and search for Restore Point. Then click on settings. On the left side, you will see the option called create a restore point.
    New window will open. In the System Protection tab, select the system restore.
    Clicking next would lead to the next step when you restore the computer to the State it was before the selected event (windows update).

  • Satellite M100 - need for express media player recovery CD

    My computer is infected with the virus really bad. So I need to format it.

    I understand that I have to insert a CD to restore first, express media player before the windows CD and I also know that I can burn the recovery CD EMP of an icon on my computer. The thing is that I can't find anywhere on my computer and maybe that I've accidentally deleted or something.

    If I've really lost the file where can I go? Now, I did nothing in my computer, looking for the EMP recovery CD.

    Hello

    Satellite M100 was certainly delivered with the recovery DVD and CD Express Media Player.
    If you n t saw him, then you can order the Toshiba ASP in your country!

    Contact the guy and ask this CD!

    Good bye

  • Where can I find a program uninstaller for Adobe Media Player?

    Adobe Media Player is no longer supported, so I want to uninstall it, as well as all the associated files and extensions, but also be sure that no other program is accidentally uninstalled, and only the files related to Media Player app? My computer is a Mac Pro, my OS is 10.7.5, if that helps.

    Before you proceed with the steps below, please mention the name and the version of Adobe installed on your Mac applications.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------

    I see that suggests vacuuming App you mentioned in the Adobe Media Player to file Applications and preferences in the same basket.

    You can run it.

    or

    Try to screw up the app in the Applications folder.

    Also delete the related Adobe Media player from ~/Library/Preferences and Preferencespreferences.

    Look for the Adobe Media Player related folders / files in ~/Library/application support or ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe.

    Also check under System Library = / Library/application support or/Library/Application Support / Adobe.

    Check under Cache folders under system so User Library.

    ~/Library/caches and/Library/Cache.

    ~/Library = the user library

    / Library = system library.

    Steps to open the library folder.

    (1) right click on the Finder on dock icon and select the option "Go - To Folder."
    (2) you will get a text box, type in below mentioned command and then press 'return '. (Don't forget ~ symbol)

    ~/Library

    It will open the library user.

    Same procedure for the library system, but no ~ symbol, just/library.
