No video in Media Player 11 for Vista

AVI files from my digital camera used to play in Media Player 11 for Vista. All of a sudden Media Player only plays sound, but no video for them. Or, it shows the first frame as a still image or a musical note icon. AVI files play again fine in QuickTime Player or DivX Plus Player. This happens not just with new AVI I downloaded recently, but also with the 'old'. I have not install new programs or change anything else (that I know of). The restore point creation feature is disabled, so I can't go back to when everything worked. Help, please.

Excellent detective work!

You are welcome and thank you for the comments.

System Restore can be very useful sometimes...
It was a good idea to turn it back on.

  • Windows media player 11 for vista full dysfunction on cd burn?

    the Windows media player 11 for vista 64 holiday won't let me burn a blank cd media file at 192 kilobits per second (highest quality with songs less) it starts to burn and then cancels the entire drive and ruins it, now you mind, at the lowest kilobytes / option dry it will burn the cd with songs more but at the lowest quality which means that the disc is not very good in any case please help! Joe

    Hello

    You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
    correctly.

    Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
    tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  • Windows Media Player 11 for Vista problem with skin mode

    My Windows Media Player for Vista (premium) works well for more than a year.  The other day, for the first time, I chose to start it in appearance (small) mode.  The hourglass appeared, then she flashed "not responding".  When I searched for help, help app has just ended.  When I asked for more details, the message says "a problem caused this program blocking interact with Windows.  Problem event name is AppHangB1; version of the app is 11.0.6002.18065; Hang sign is e710; Blocking type is '0 '. timestamp of the application is 4a5dce03.

    I went into Control Panel to try to fix, but Media Player is not displayed as an installed program.

    I tried to download and reinstall, but it says that my version is more recent than the downloadable version.

    I tried to remove the program .exe file and I was told that I needed permission (even though I am the administrator).

    I ran the cmd scan, but he said that some errors could not be fixed.

    I tried to run regedit, but my computer says there is an error and could not work.

    So I can't open, remove, repair or replace the Windows Media Player 11.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I saw another thread that has suggested to delete three registry entries.  That did not work, but because WMP didn't work, I felt "BOLD".  I've therefore deleted everything in the registry, including 'by default'.  And guess what?  It worked!  He put back me in full mode, I'll leave the skin only mode.

    Thanks again.

  • Windows Media Player - WMP11 for Vista - error C00D1169 problem - area Code

    I am actually answering my own question here in case someone else can benefit from my own frustration.

    I recently started getting this error region code using WMP11 to open a DVD, but only if the DVD was stored on my hard drive.  And it didn't matter if it was an internal or external hard drive.

    • I checked the DVD region coding, and it is multi-region.  I tried to change to region 1, just in case a recent update has had an effect on the ability to play multi-region DVDs.  Still no luck.
    • I tried to play a DVD stored on a different hard drive - still nothing.
    • I checked that I had possession of all the records and files, and I did.
    • I tried to open WMP as an administrator (suggested by a single site) - it did not help.
    • So I went home the other end - I played a real DVD from the DVD drive - that worked.
    • I created an ISO file from the DVD to the hard drive and open the ISO in a virtual DVD-ROM.  It worked, too.
    • I opened the DVD to the hard drive using another sweet drive - who also worked.

    So now I'm very frustrated.  I scoured the registry looking for anything that be something having to do with the DVD region.  I determined that WMP will play a real live DVD and even a virtual DVD.  I spent hours searching the Web for an answer, when I came across a page that suggested, almost as an after-thought, turn ON User Account Control.  Well, I thought: UAC is already on.  But then it dawned on me that I don't have to confirm before you open the registry editor, that UAC should require at any time, because RegEdit is always an administrator-level program.

    A month ago, in my startup routine I had added opening Process Explorer (an invaluable program) at a high level.  Well, it turns out that, by confirming the UAC for Process Explorer in my boot sequence, I was indeed disable UAC for the whole session.  I logged out and back again, except that I cancelled out lifting Process Explorer when connecting.  Voila!  WMP opened the DVD fine.

    Now I don't really understand why disable UAC would affect WMP it - and frankly, I do not why.  I'm just glad that I found the solution to my problem.  However, it raises a serious security problem.  If raising a program to administrator level when starting effectively disables UAC for the whole session (which I understand as), all those who do not realize that could do the same thing that I did and leave themselves wide open to an attack, while thinking that they are protected by the UAC.

    So, a quick way to check if UAC really does its job is to open the run (Windows key + R) dialog box, type regedit and click OK.  If you get the screen greyed with UAC confirmation request dialog box, UAC works correctly.  If RegEdit opens immediately, UAC is not.  To enable it, go to the Start Menu > Control Panel > accounts user and family safety > user accounts.  I recommend seen UAC on all time - it was designed for a reason.  Yes, it's a bit annoying having to confirm operations before they will run, but it's nothing compared to the inconvenience of having your whole system destroyed by an attacker.  My brother and I have had this happen under XP without UAC, even with an anti-virus update.

    I hope I could help someone.  I wouldn't think that I lived all this frustration for nothing :)

    Hello.

    Just to let you know that your answer was very helpful for me. I had the same problem and I was bit surprised to discover that it was the solution.

  • Windows Media Player 11 Rip - Vista Home Premium error

    I have the same problems others have with my Media Player.  This problem started not until I installed updates to windows.  I have updated to service pack 2 and Internet Explorer 8.  I tried system restore but my most old restore point was only a week before my problem and did not help at all.

    Here's my problem exactly how it goes:

    I put a cd Ripper.  He begins ripping automatically the first track automatically.  On all the remaining tracks, it says "pending" in the status of rip.  After extraction of about 20% of the track, he spent the "ripping" to "error".  Then, all other tracks are from 'pending' to 'error' and ejects the cd.  I tried all combinations of bitrate and the type of file format and nothing seems to work.  Also on some of your answers on this forum your told us to go to the page Windows VISTA Media Player 11 download to download, but when I click on the link http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx , DOES NOT give you the option of Windows Media Player 11 for VISTA, only for XP and earlier windows platforms.  I even tried to download one for XP and I got an error saying something like that I have a newer version and that you can't use that one.  Anyone can solve this for me?  I was able to copy CDs to the 31/08/09, since these windows updates seems to have screwed something.  Are there bugs in these new updates of compatibility issues?  Help!

    Hello SavatageFan, welcome.

    Out of curiosity, have you tried ripping the content to another computer? The disc itself is possibly corrupt.
    Another option you can try is to manually copy the contents of the CD to the hard drive and play back locally. That would reduce the possible causes.

    In addition, what happens if you try to read all the content? Never introduce error messages or jump?
