• Not able to play songs directly from the Windows Media Player library.

  Original title: Windows Media Player won't play songs unless I have...

  WMP plays the songs, unless I directly go where the file is located and open like that.  It works just fine. The problem is a lot of work. I play usually just in my library on shuffle. Many songs will not play this way, though, but like I said, they work fine when I open the file from its location. There is a blue circle with an exclamation in it that says "WMP can not locate this file. The file may have been deleted or moved, or the path may be incorrect. "I checked the location, and they are there. Help, please!

  Well, looks like your Explorer library WMP links are corrupt; You probably need to rebuild the library. Corruption occurs when files are moved or changed in the library of the Explorer... tasks of this nature must be always performed in the library WMP or the location of the file.

  In a first step, go to 'Tools' - 'Advanced' (if you do not see 'tools' of the bar menu isn't showing, then go to "Organize" - "Layout" and select "Show Menu bar")-then click on "restore Library. WMP will then rebuild the library.

  Let us know if it improves things... R >

• Impossible to play a video file, error: Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer.

  I am unable to play the video file and get the error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

  Can someone help me how to solve this problem. Thank you

  May be that the video file format is not compatible with Windows Media Player.

  Options: -.

  1] download and install VLC Player. It's free and supports file formats more than WMP.

  2] download and install the codecs

  Personally, I prefer VLC Player-if you have that then not need to download and install the codec of any third party.

• Problem with the display of a video frame in Windows Media Player 11 on Vista

  Hello

  I am having some problems with the Windows Media Player 11 on Vista. On my XP machine, when I discovered a video frame by frame, it works perfectly back and forth. However when I try to play the same video on my Vista machine, the button to the front of the image works perfectly fine but the previous image button takes video from 5 to 10 frames. Since I use my machine Vista more and need this feature often enough, it gets boring very quickly. It is a drive problem (since the same player works great under XP with the same video) and can be solved with a patch or some sort?

  Thank you

  Hello Helloaamir,

  Thank you for posting.  I understand the problem you are having, but I do not understand why in the need for these features.  Depending on what you're trying to do, may be able to use Movie Maker instead of it you also has characteristics of the image by image.  If you could include that you are using this feature, because I can give you a good alternative or possible difficulty of deliverance.

  Looking forward to help you any further. Zack

• I have music files in my playlists that I can't make it appear in the Windows Media Player library

  Original title: Player Windows medis library - Playlist trouble

  -J' have music files in my playlists that I can't make it appear in the library - how can I sync the two up - I tried the usual fall / drag...

  Hello

  1. is the specific issue of the reading list?

  2 are you able to add other songs in the Windows Media Player library?

  3 did you changes to the computer before the show?

  The Player library is the location in the player that lists all of the music, videos and photos on your computer.

  When you play a media file on your computer or a removable storage device, the file is automatically included in the Player library, so you can access it directly from the reader. And if you have access to remote media stored on other computers on your network, you can change the player settings to add those files remotely to the Player library when you play them. The reader does not automatically add a file that you play from removable media, such as a CD or DVD.

  Since you aren't able to add songs to the library, you can try the following and see if they help.
