Pavilion Notebook: Windows Media Player went

Similar Questions

• Windows Media Player went?

  I have an older HP laptop that has a slot for the DVD.  All of a sudden it stopped working. Is it true that MS no longer includes a multimedia player in their products? Why is stopped, if true?

  speedbird2

  No, this is not true.  What Microsoft has abandoned in Win10 was their Media Center, not the media player.

  However, many of us use VideLAN player because it has many more options than Windows Media Player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

• HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC: Windows Media Player replacement

  I currently use Windows Media Player to play CDs, DVDs, BlueRay discs and for monitoring emissions of air with my unencrypted, i.e. without a cable box, to view TV shows, because I have a TV card installed by HP, and a digital antenna I bought at HP at the time wherever I bought my 5 year old laptop, which came with Windows 7.  This laptop also contains the HP MediaSmart software where I can also do similar things.

  I understand that if I switch to Windows 10, Windows Media Player will be uninstalled and I can no longer use Windows Media Player.  My HP MediaSmart software will still work in Windows 10?  I spent more than $3,000 for this laptop to be completely loaded.  I don't want to upgrade to Windows 10 if I use is more CD, DVD, Blue Ray disc, Aboriginal, TV etc...  I also bought this laptop so that I can also burn discs, this function will always be available.  If this is the case, what other players and burners are here for Windows 10?

  If there is no players free alternatives and burners or Windows 10 will not do what I paid to my original purchase with Windows 7, so there's no reason to switch to Windows 10.  This has been one of my main reasons for not upgrading to Windows 10.

  Please be aware that Windows Media Center will work no. LONGER on Windows 10.  Microsoft no longer supports Windows Media Center on Windows 10 then you won't be able to run it and record live shows and others.  Currently, Microsoft has not any replacement software to Windows Media Center so please keep this in mind when you are considering upgrading to Windows 10.

  If you like using Windows Media Center, the idea here is to not upgrade to Windows 10.

• I went to download songs on my phone from windows media player, but they will not play. How can I play?

  I went to download songs on my phone from windows media player, but they will not play. How can I play?

  Hello

  1. what version of Windows Media Player is installed on the computer?

  2. what happens when you try to play the songs?

  3. do you receive any error messages?

  4. have you already check the manual for the type of files supported by the playback device?

  I suggest you to check if the file format is compatible with the unit for playback.

  Reference:

• I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

  DVD decoder not installed?

  I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.
  A few weeks ago, I played DVD on my computer. I would like to know what is happening. Any ideas/suggestions?

  I tried to play one of the same DVDs I played before... same message.  Nothing to my knowledge has been removed from my computer and I'm the only one with access... "very confused.

  Thanks if anyone can help.

  Yes, and if you install the utility on your system, you'll see all decoders.

  The utility will also tell you if a decoder is compatible or not.

  Using Media Player version 10 or 11?

  the utility tells me I have no decoder... the only thing I can think is that if I actually deleted it... I rarely remove anything because I do not add a lot... but it is possible a few weeks ago, I have to get rid of some things (I'm quite cautious because I'm not an expert).   It is the Media Player version 11, I was trying to use... but I rebooted now 10 to see if there was something to update related that mess.

  because I used the VLC Player successfully, I have not yet tried Windows Media Player (since WMP reloading and load the codec pack)

  So great to have the entry of a person who knows what he's doing.  Thanks again. I will try the Windows Media Player later and see if I have his use of return.

  Have a great day!

• Windows Media Player does not recognize the new downloaded songs

  I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: race AY014AA-ABA, Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  I just found out that Windows Media Player does not recognize the songs, I recently downloaded from Wal-Mart music download Site.  The songs can be seen in the music library in a folder called 'Downloads' and I can open each song and he will play when double-clicked.  The problem is that I can't create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the reading list, because the songs are not listed in the Media Library Player any hot it is sorted (artist, Album, Genre, etc.).

  Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Problem solved!

  Went to: start == > Control Panel == > troubleshooting == > view all == > and ran troubleshooting on the library and the settings of WMP.

  Convenience store detected library corrupt and "in media files appear in the WMP library.  Then ran convenience store on WMP settings which reset OMP to default settings.  After that, everything worked as announced.

  Thanks to Big_Dave for putting me on the right track.

• Windows Media Player crashes

  I have a Pavilion laptop dv7 (P/N VZ500PA #ABG) running Windows 7, and even if I was using Windows Media Play on this computer for 18 months without any problem, recently it started to freeze on me sporadically. When I open a folder I noticed that it takes a long time (more than normal along...) I'm guessing 20 seconds) to answer. When I play a file she also occasionally ignores, and it has nothing to do with an error in the file.

  I'd be gratefule for any help that you could provide. Thank you in advance.

  In case anyone cares, I gave up on Windows Media Player because although some of the solutions provided in this thread solved the problem temporarily, it would start eventually freeze up again. So I downloaded Winamp, which freezes if I try to use to play the CD (but not Windows Media Player) and works perfectly when I use it to play MP3s (where Windows Media Player does not work). Unhappy that he had to come to this, but it seems to be the most effective practical solution.

• Why Firefox 5 will not see the Windows Media Player Plugin?

  Hello useful Mozilla expert,

  When I click on a link to play a standard WMV video in Firefox 5, in the movie player window it is said 'Click here to download the'.

  When I click on 'Click here to download the plugin' in Firefox 5, I get a panel of Firefox that says I need to Windows Media Player 11, but I already Windows Media Player 12 and the browser Firefox WMP plugin installed on this computer... it worked fine in Firefox 3.6.

  If I then click to install the Windows Media Player 11 plugin, it goes to another Firefox sign that says: ' no plug-ins have been installed, Windows Media Player 11 - no available '. Then, there is a "manual install" button, and when I click, it takes me to a third party plugin site called 'InteroperabilityBridges.com' which has a plugin Firefox WMP dated April 2007 available.

  Here is the link he gives... http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/Windows-Media-Player-Firefox-plugin-download

  When I check my Panel "programs and features" in Windows 7 on my control panel, I can see that I have already installed something called, "Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin" installed and it is dated 10/24/2010 and it is version 1.0.0.8

  Despite having already the required plugin installed and showing in my control panel, programs and features, this WMP plugin does not appear on my plugins Firefox 5 Panel. So I tried to re - install with the installer of origin and available to the above URL Setup (they seem to be the same, except my installer of origin has a date of 2010).

  I also tried the 'fix' option in the setup of the plugin... it still does not appear in Firefox 5, nor this browser will play a WMV file in the integrated test related troubleshooting page plugin Mozilla WMP player, or other pages that embedded the WMV players.

  So the question is, why is Firefox 5 demanding I install a Windows Media Player plug-in older, version 1.0.0.8 of 2007 when I have already installed...? and why it won't work?

  I went through all the troubleshooting information in Mozilla and go to the page dedicated to this subject and nothing works...

  http://blogs.technet.com/b/Port25/archive/2007/04/16/Windows-Media-Player-plug-in-for-Firefox.aspx

  What is the solution? The upgrade again for the 3rd time in the last 2 months, this is not an option... I'm tired of going through all the difficult steps of the upgrade and find what has changed and rejected another upgrade of the browser Mozilla and re - install plugins, extensions, modules and customizations and repair everything that does not work, as I always do now with Firefox 5.

  It seems that as soon as I get most things squared away in a new browser from Mozilla, then they came out with three new releases, so when I'm still struggling with the FF5 version (as I am now) there will be version 9 I get annoying constant 'reminders' upgrade to.

  Thank you

  You carefully read and follow the instructions in the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs in the article on the creation of a folder \plugins folder installer of Firefox and copy the C:\PFiles\Plugins file in the newly created folder?

• Window Media Player.exe using 100% of CPU and memory

  I have a Pavilion dv4-2145-dx Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, 4 GB of memory. Windows Media Player.exe supports my CPU 100% usage and it is striking all my memory - 4 GB.   It started right after I set up a homegroup.

  I had to go into Admin/service and change the Startup Type to disabled for:

  • Windows Media Center Receiver Service
  • The window media services planning service
  • Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

  I tried setting services to manual, but Windows Media Player has yet caught all the CPU and memory, he could then I disabled all the.

  I do not know how to disable homegroup and Windows Media Player services work together so I wonder if everything is always operate has designed with the homegroup and sharing my music.

  Hello

  I think this explains the problem.  The 2 entries here should be deleted, because the first will try to index all of your user profile and the second will attempt to index all of the Windows Partition.

  C:\Users\Rick

  C:\

  To remove them, click to the left of the entrance, highlight it, and then click Remove.  When these two entries have been removed, reboot the laptop and you should find that the problem has been resolved.

• Satellite A110 media Apps for Windows Media Player do not work!

  Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite A110 Notebook since 2006.
  2 days ago a friend formatted my laptop. In order to make the systemstart a bit faster, he stopped a few applications of Toshiba in the configuration of the system. My laptop now very well VannerieUn.

  But here's the problem: before the format I could use these multimedia applications useful for my Windows Media Player - mainly because of laziness to switch between programs during the work. :-)...
  But now, they no longer work. :-(

  Is it possible, that we stopped a request, which is important to make these applications to run?
  Or is an additional driver?
  Or they work only in cobination with Windows Media Player 10. (now, I installed WMP 11)

  I hope for your useful replies.

  But think, that I'm not this great computer genius! ;-)... :-(

  Try to enable all disabled applications. Go to START > run and write MSCONFIG inside.
  When the System Configuration window is open go to the Startup tab and allow all applications with blank Startup Item.

  Restart your computer and check if everything works well again.

• Music in Spotify, iTunes and Windows Media Player

  Well, I tried to use my programs of music on my computer for about a week and a half now, and that they won't play all my music. Not at all.  I went to support these programs, but they did not really help. I also checked to see if any of them were incompatible with my computer, which iTunes was the only one, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the version 64-bit for Windows 8 and still nothing.

  I don't know if it's the sound of my computer, which I don't think it is, because it works for everything else except these three programs. And I have no idea why, and frankly, it's getting boring. I also checked my device manager and my sound system and everything is working properly.

  Anyone who can help and give me some answers on this as soon as possible, it would be greatly appreciated!

  Try the following.

  One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

  Once complete, download and reinstall the Chipset driver from the link below.

  When you're done, shut down the laptop by holding down the SHIFT key when you click Shutdown to temporrily prevent a hybrid boot.
