• My Window Media Player won't play WMA files

  Hi, only come to find out that my Player Windows Media won't play WMA files - they used to!  She still plays MP3 files, so his works, and it will play WMA files through my Denon AV receiver when I send them this Windows Media Player for her.  And when the WMA files are copied in my SD card, they play in my car stereo.

  It says 'Windows Media Player has encountered a problem reading the file' and puts a little red cross next to him.

  I have not installed anything, was only made updates windows update regularly.  Running Windows 7 with the current version of Windows Media Player - said current when running try to update.

  What's wrong?

  Thank you.

  Linda.

  Hi, I do not know what a codec pack is so unlikely, I installed a?  BUT have been looking more help sites and found someone else with the same problem as mine here.

  The solution:

  Run cmd.exe as administrator, and then type sfc/scannow

  and he fixed it!

  Thanks for your help - hope this helps someone else now.

• WMP 12 won't 'play' SAMI files (subtitles)

  I used a lot of WMP 9 control embedded in html pages for playback of audio and video files with subtitles in smi file. In Win XP that everything works well, with early problem Vista and now Windows 7 and WMP 12 I can play only mid (karaoke) for the types of audio files and avi for video files (with VobSub filter installed) types. Even with the video in WMV, WMP 12 won't coded subtitles, but when I convert same video in WMP 12 avi format will see the good subtitles smi file (because of DirectShow filter), is the filter CC of Microsoft or something else that will allow WMP 12 Show subtitles during video playback in the format wmv or mp4. Same thing for audio. If the midi playback (mid or kar extension) it be CC (in the karaoke style), but if the audio is in mp3 WAV reformatted then nothing.

  I have to admit, it works. But what a waste. Microsoft has changed the way that parser for smi files works and coused promblems. I used the syntax 'by the book' WMP 9 (2004.y.) and the files mid is always the same, but for mp3, wav, wmv, wma, that I have to change some things in smi (SAMI Cloed Caption file) and now it works as what should be. Like this:

  Style secttion, I have:

  . ENUSCC {Name: "English subtitles" lang: en-US;} SAMIType:CC ;}

  should be

  . ENUSCC {name: Legends; lang: en-US ;}}

  in the Style section, I have a comment line:

  / * P defines the selector base style for the text of paragraph captioning * /.

  and I have to remove this comment, what a strange thing to do to make this work?

  I lose the second line of the text because I have "font color" tags it and
  tag does not now, but if I reformat the second line, then it works.

  Never mind, it took me almost a year to resolve this problem.

• Windows Movie Maker won't play .mpg - files.

  When I import a mpg file in Windows Movie Maker, I can hear the audio but can't see the video. It is particularly strange, because my mpg files work well in Windows Media Player.  What can I do? I have installed hundreds of codecs and it still does not work.

  Audio--> OK
  Video--> NO

  Windows Media Player--> video + audio
  Windows Movie Maker--> audio (NO video)?

  Hi tom,

  Thanks for using the Community Forums of Microsoft for Vista.

  Normally, something like that, the problem is resolved by downloading and reinstalling the latest MS codec packs.

  In this case, however, I think the problem is conflicting codec installations.

  I think you should start by restoring the system running and to cancel most of the codec installations. Go back to the extent that is reasonable and see if that helps.

  If not, then download the latest codec for your multimedia player by Microsoft and see if that does the trick.

  I think that will do, let us know whether.

• Windows Media Player 7 won't play wmv file.

• I installed in my laptop XP - SP3 PersonalFirewall of Privacyware and I have this problem: when restarting, always internet access isn't available (WiFi/LAN).

  network adapter AutoDetect fails

  Hello:

  I installed in my laptop XP - SP3 PersonalFirewall of Privacyware and I have this problem: when restarting, always internet access isn't available (WiFi/LAN).
  Using the command ipconfig, I found that these cards are not detected. (Although without wireless/LAN icons do not display the modem connection). Also, if I go into Device Manager, I see network cards. BUT if I select "research material changes", then the other adapters will appear (those of Privacyware) and internet connection is reset and it will work then.  I wonder why windows does not detect this kind of cards automatically when I start it.

  This problem occurs only in my laptop - I installed the project Feederwatch on a laptop another XP and it worked, so Privacyware cannot provide a solution, since seems a very specific problem.

  Thanks for any idea!

  Seems that the solution was:

  1 - Open Device manager and view the hidden devices.
  2. then go into not connectable & play devices and manually delete all the remainers network software & security uninstalled (process antivirus, firewall, monitor).
  3. several reboots were required in order to know if the garbage problem has been removed.

  It seems that you did not actually transfer files... did you
  check files on the jumpdrive to see if they would play?

  Might be interesting to try another.

  Hi randyb71782130,

  Acrobat can be installed on 2 computers, but it can be activated on a computer at a given time.

  You have the subscription if you do not require a serial key, it will be activated using the Adobe ID once you connect.

  Now just let me know the cause, you try to activate Acrobat on your second system?

  What is the error code or exact error you receive?

  Kind regards

  Hi willardmac77850,

  I guess that you can hear the CD spinning when you first insert the CD. In other words, the CD drive actually works, it's not dead?

  By "won't play" is a case that you do not receive a message appears asking you if you want this CD of 'play' or 'open folder' on this CD? It may just be that a case that autoplay/autorun is disabled in the registry.

  Take a look at this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/autorun_autoplay_don't_work_when_cddvd_is_inserted.htm and see if that solved the problem.

• burn my DVDs on my laptop and play on my laptop but it won't play in my dvd player.

  I can burn a dvd on my laptop and I can read the dvd on the laptop. If I try to play the dvd in my dvd player which is connected to my TV, he will not play in the drive.  I can burn the dvd even my daughters laptop, it will play in my laptop and it will play in my dvd player. So, I know that it is not the dvd player. Help, please

  Hi Speedstep,

  In theory,-r is more compatible, but it really depends on the model. I use Verbatim DVD + R exclusively to educational DVDs for the ballet school where my wife works, and have never had anyone come back to complain that the drive did not work. The OP used Imation, which are the second quality rate. So I suspect it's at least a part of the problem.
