• Windows Media Player is not responding when a DVD is inserted in the drive of the computer

  Windows Media Player is set as default program for reading DVD but when I insert a movie on the disc, the drive does not open.  I am also unable to open the DVD of the first Media Player opening.  When I play some older DVD, the player actually open and operate.  I guess I must miss some codecs or something but don't know where to find them or how to install them.

  Yes, you need codecs.

• When you use two monitors Media Player will not playback on screen #2 video (not a problem with the monitor #1).

  I'm sorry for the long post, but this is the type of problem that is easy to explain in person but if transported by writing it might take a little longer for the sake of the definition. Please read on without fear because this problem is not as complicated as you might think, I hope.

  I use two (2) screens of computers with the same system but why Media Player does not work on a single monitor and not the other monitor?

  I use two monitors with my PC thanks to the CLONE function and things last a lot. #1 monitor is a computer 19 "monitor. Monitor #2 is at the end of the piece. VIZIO, the manufacturer, markets a monitor #2 as a computer screen, nope, it's a 47 '' Vizio HDTV that I use as a computer screen. I use the installation without any problems for over a year now until yesterday. The problem: now, when I use two monitors to play a video, the sound will play but not the video. What I see is a black screen empty. This negative situation applies to only monitor the #2 and does NOT monitor #1.

  > very important Please note... when I have both monitors running and I play a video that you can actually see the video play on the #1, the 19-inch video monitor! There is absolutely nothing wrong with the video player when it runs on the small computer screen 19 inch. But when you turn your head to look through the living room where I Monitor #2 placed you won't see the video running on #1 monitor as you normally would before that dysfunction appeared. (No, instead of this you will see the Windows Media Player (or Nero or RealPlayer) readers 'playing' a black screen blank even if 1) both monitors are indeed cloned and 2) video plays without any problem on monitor # 1. Monitor #2 with media work (sort of) because the volume level is adjustable, and you can see the bar jump up and down and all around media player progression but the problem is that there is simply no video when you try watching the video on a monitor #2.

  > except to play videos through a Player multimedia, I can use my Vizio TV as a monitor for what is related to the computer, there is no another negative question. I can surf the web, edit videos, etc. When I run a video from Youtube to my computer the monitor #2 TV Vizio, the Youtube video plays well. Ditto for Netflix, no complaints there. In fact, I just typed this post on and displayed using Monitor #2... But if I want to watch a video that I saved in a folder XP then the only option is to use the #1 monitor.

  Thanks in advance for your help :)

  Do restore of the system as a first step. If this fails,

  1. uninstall all software of Monitor 2

  2. unplug the monitor 2

  3. restart the computer

  4. connect the monitor 2

  5. install all the software monitor

  OK, when I clicked to read it, I got a pop up saying: Windows Media player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. You want to install the Player from the Microsoft Website?

  Hello

  1. don't you also get an error with the message code?
  2 have you installed third-party readers part?
  3. What is the format of the files you are trying to play?

  Follow these steps and check if they help.

  Step 1:

  I would have you readers of third party temporarily Uninstall and check if persists it to the question.

  Step 2:

  Most likely you need codecs to play these files with Windows Media Player. I suggest looking up codec in the Internet that supports the file format, download and install them.

  Hi B Bartram,

  Let us try these methods.

  Method 1.

  Run a full scan of the computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

  Microsoft security scanner: http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

   

  Warning of Security Scanner: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.

  Method 2.

  I suggest that you can exercise SFC scan and check if that helps. The SFC/SCANNOW command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  For more information how to make SFC / scan, please follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Thank you.

• Problems with error Windows Media Player, that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

  We have a computer that is running Windows 7 and (I think) Windows Media Player 12.  When I start ==> all programs ==> windows media player, the program starts and it seems to work.  It is a work computer, so no video or audio file is saved.

  We have an online seminar that the user wants to participate in, and when we click on the link to get the webinar, an error message appears saying that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

  We use Firefox (version reasonably updated, but do not know which) for internet.

  I used the "fix it" tool on the website of Microsoft, but that does not solve anything.  He said it sets some configuration settings.  I thought that maybe uninstall and reinstall it can work, but I can't understand completely uninstall because it isn't in my list of programs in the control panel.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks for any ideas you may have.

  (Moved to programs)

  Uninstall and reinstall could be done by searching for and opening the option "turn on or off Windows features", but I don't think it will help.

  Instead, what you need is a Windows Media Player plugin for your browser (Firefox).

  But before you spend effort on it, I would test to see if it's really the solution.  Try to join your webinar with Internet Explorer (where the WMP plugin is built).  If it works, you can be reasonably sure to know how to make it work with Firefox.

• After the upgrade to Firefox 4.0, I returned to Firefox 3.6 because plug-ins, such as Media Player, would not work just with 4.0. They now work with 4.0.1?

  After the upgrade to Firefox 4.0, I returned to Firefox 3.6 because plug-ins, such as Media Player, would not work just with 4.0. They now work with 4.0.1?

  I used WMP plugin with Firefox 4 since its release.

  The problem is probably because she couldn't find the WMP plugin. One way around this problem is to install the HTML5 Extension for Windows Media Player Firefox plugin available from http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/html5-extension-for-wmp-plugin

  This add-on will do 2 things, it will install the WMP plugin in a place that can find Firefox 4, it will also add an extension to add additional functionality for use by Windows Media Player. This extension has been reported as causing memory leaks, so I recommend that once you install the HTML5 Extension for Windows Media Player Firefox plugin, you must restart Firefox then uninstall the extension. The extension uninstaller will not remove the plugin, Firefox 4 will still be able to use it.

• 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.

  Mitch

  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 7 - Media Player does not start after the upgrade. Cannot update Windows media player either

  I have long used now on Windows 7, Windows media Player and just got an update from Micorsoft. Set, now when I try to open the drive it tells me the the wmplayer file has a version number of 12.07600.16415 where 12.0.7600.16667 was expected.

  Windows media player is not adequately at a standstill and must be reienstalled.

  Then wonder if I want to install the player from the microsoft Web site. When I check the Yes box, I go to the site and he informs me that the version that I already paid for only a few months ago on my computer because my computer is relativley new, cannot be downloaded.

  There are no other options to fix the problem that caused Microsoft with the update. I tried to do a restore but it then cause a problem which made the player doesn't do not not the CD to record the right as he said that I had to get the new drivers that microsft does not automatically download drivers when they remove them in this process. But again, no tell me what I need drivers. I tried to switch on my computer systems and to find them this way, but it says I have already that I need on my computer?

  Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11, version 12 is sucks.

  Hello, Simone

  I'll assume you're on Windows 7. Windows Media Player 12 is not supported on Windows Vista or XP and as such, you will need to go back to Windows Media Player 11.

  You can check the permissions in the registry to ensure that it is able to record information.

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

  Open the registry editor by clicking on start, type regedit.exe in the search box and press on enter, you may be prompted to continue.

  In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, MediaPlayer, then Preferences.

  It should be an element named LastLocation_26, right-click on it and select Rename, and rename it to old LastLocation_26.

  Leave the open registry editor and open Media Player, then move it to your favorite place and close Media Player.

  In the registry editor, press F5 on your keyboard and check if LastLocation_26 has been recreated.

  If this is not the case, there is probably a permissions problem.

  If so, the location must be registered.
