    The required codec is missing or damaged. If the problem occurs when you use a .wmv file, download or reinstall the latest version of Windows Media Player. If you use an earlier version of Windows Media Player, upgrade to the current version of Windows Media Player for your operating system.

    ===================================
    Maybe there is a small slider that changes the drive to
    read-only?

    And... There may be a limit to the number of files that can
    Add in the root directory of the drive. This can be
    fixed by adding a few folders to sort the files.

  • Unknown problem caused media player to close and that to protect my Media Player Windows has disabled skins

    Original title: "skins".
    I recently downloaded a lot of skins from the microsoft Web site, and it worked very well for about an hour. Then I saw a skin called 'come back' I don't not download but recalled seeing in my default skins that were already installed. I wanted to see what it was and when I did caused a problem which I can't specify because the notification window remained only until fairly long for me to see (in a nutshell) "unknown problem caused media player to close and to protect my Media Player Windows has disabled skins. Now, I spent over 3 hours to try each answer in the forums for this issue and not one worked for me. I am running Windows Vista Home Basic and I can't find a way to reactivate my skin so that I can use only skins working know is the company and changing the skin that caused the problem. I tried deleting and reinstalling all the skins again, but again does not help. I tried to do a right click on the skin to go to properties to activate as suggested in the forums, but when I right click on it nothing happens. So now I have like 20 downloaded skins but the only way that they work is if I download again and choose to view them, but if I try to change the playlist or switch to full mode then it goes to firm skin and I download it again to get the one I want. I am so frustrated with this problem which I think should be a very easy thing to fix, but nothing I try works. Please help me. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

  • Title of song-Player Windows Media does not display properly when played

    Problem with Media Player

    The box on the bottom of my screen shows 1 song, but another play!  This has never happened before... How can I fix this so that they match?

    Hi Catwoman,

    Follow the steps below and check if that helps you solve the problem with Windows Media Player.

    You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it helps to load the music into the library and if you can play all the songs.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    Step 1

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. for Windows 7: click Start, click Run, type Player, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media , andclicknext OK.

    3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

     

    Step 2

     

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Playercache of database files. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. If you are running Windows 7, click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, , andclicknext OK.

    3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.

    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Also note before performing the steps above, I suggest to save the songs and try the steps above.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Windows 7 media player on my pc hp laptop pavilion dv7 plays sound just no picture, I downloaded vlc player is the same can help you please

    You may have to reinstall the OS by doing a restore. The problem could be due to a corruption of a codec registry key in the registry.  You can also try to do a restore of the system for some older dsates and check if this solves the problem. You can also lose some files and applications that you installed after the date chosen for the restoration of the system. It is always better to lose some files rather than ending up losing the receipt of data on the hard drive.
