Hi Hermafrance,

1 are you facing this problem with any individual tunes?

2. are you able to play these songs in any other computer?

3. you receive an error with the error code?

4. have you made changes to your computer recently?

I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

Method 1: Re-save files associated with Windows Media Player. To do this, follow the steps.

a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.
b. in the command prompt
i. type regsvr32 wmp.dll , and then press ENTER.
II. type regsvr32 jscript.dll , and then press enter
III. type regsvr32 vbscript.dll , and then press enter

c. restart the computer and check if the problem is resolved.

Method 2: If the problem persists, install codecs and check if it helps.

  • "created the slideshow" inside loop problems (Windows Media Center) during playback

    Why didn't Windows Media Center during playback of a repeat of the start file "slideshow created with music" and / or "loopback", with only the first 20 or so (on perhaps a 100 total on the full slideshow) slides or photos over and over again without showing the rest of the majority of the slides at all?

    Hey trasel,.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to include another small video clip for an existing video on which you have already created.

    However, you can create a new slide and add it to the existing one.

  • error during playback of mp3 files

    Some of my MP3 files won't play on WMP 12. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.  I can play music on many other players, so I know that the files are OK.

    I get a little red X next to the song, it is ignored and the error details read like this:

    Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file.

    And that's all. It always happens to the same files and about forty years that give this error among thousands who give me this error.

    I have run the troubleshooter WMP and rebuilt the files and the library. Any ideas of the Wizards here?

    Good, glad to hear it.

  • Problem reading SD card during and after the connected device?

    I have an application that reads a file from the SD card when it is opened. Everything works fine until I plug the phone into my cradle/charger/USB. If I try to launch my app during the charge, the SD card is not reported to exist. I read that this may be a by-product of the USB mass storage Mode.

    Worse still, when I unplug the device, I still cannot read the SD card in my application and it is considered to be non-existent.

    What can I do about it? It is completely paralyze my app :/

    Thank you for your time and your answers!

    This has proved to be unrelated to the charge. I wasn't closing my InputStreams also I would get finally a FileIOException saying system resources.

  • PS Format custom Plugin - problem reading files > 2 GB & < 4GB

    This question is fixable in our format plugin code, or is this a limitation of photoshop?

    I am new to Photoshop and Photoshop Plugins.  I have reviewed the documentation of the photoshop sdk & searched the web on this topic.

    I work with a plugin for photoshop format written by my predecessor, who is no longer here.

    The plugin is inspired the simpleFormat plugin.

    The plugin is used on systems running Photoshop CS6 & CC on 64-bit Windows 7 with 8 GB or more of memory.

    The plugin allows a file of our formula to be opened, read, and written.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------

    QUESTION:

    The plugin works fine reading < 2 GB or 4 GB files >.  For files between 2 GB and 4 GB, the allocation call memory fails.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------

    In structure of the plugin PIPL: {32767, 32767} FormatMaxSize PluginMaxSize {PlugInMaxSize {2147483647, 2147483647}

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the code of the plugin.  the DoReadStart() method opens the file and reads the file header information.  It works very well.

    Then, in the DoReadContinue() method: SPsBuffer-> New (& bufferSize, buffersize) returns NULL.     see below.

    void PluginMain (const int16 selector,

    FormatRecordPtr formatParamBlock,

    intptr_t * data,

    Int16 * result)

    {

    ...

    gFormatRecord = reinterpret_cast < FormatRecordPtr > (formatParamBlock);

    gPluginRef = reinterpret_cast < SPPluginRef > (gFormatRecord-> plugInRef);

    gResult = result;

    gDataHandle = data;

    ...



    sSPBasic = ((FormatRecordPtr) formatParamBlock)-> sSPBasic;

    ...



    If (gCountResources == NULL |)

    gGetResources == NULL |

    gAddResource == NULL |




    gFormatRecord-> advanceState is NULL)


    {



    * gResult = errPlugInHostInsufficient;



    return;


    }



    new for Photoshop 8, columns, lines, and large documents are now > 30000 pixels


    If (gFormatRecord-> HostSupports32BitCoordinates)


    gFormatRecord-> PluginUsing32BitCoordinates = true;

    ...

    }

    public static void DoReadPrepare()

    {

    gFormatRecord-> maxData = 0

    }

    public static void DoReadContinue (void)

    {

    Int32 done;

    Total Int32;

    Int32 line;

    VPOINT imageSize = GetFormatImageSize();

    / * Set up variables buffer and progression. */

    Done = 0;

    Total = imageSize.v;

    PixelData PTR = NULL;

    RawData PTR = NULL;

    UncompressedData PTR = NULL;

    Mr. angles: Int64 * = NULL;

    / * allocate buffer pixel. */

    unsigned32 bufferSize = gFormatRecord-> aircraft * imageSize.v * imageSize.h;

    pixelData = sPSBuffer-> New (& bufferSize, bufferSize);            < = this allocation fails for file sizes > 2 GB and 4 GB <.

    If (pixelData is NOTHING)

    {

    * gResult = memFullErr;

    return;

    If (* gResult == memFullErr) {goto ReadContinueCleanUp ;}

    }

    (1) ask for anything above 2 gig is risky. Try to break your problem into smaller pieces.

    (2) you are more unsigned32 flowing. That max out at 4 GB. Your request for 5 gig is really 1 gig.

    (3) we have a new New64 now which takes a unsigned64. Point against #1 but available for those who dare.

  • Problem Office: send errors during the use of

    OK, so I was cleaning up my folders in my user and office accidentally put in a folder section under and I took it back out to retrieve my icons, but now every time I sent myself to: Office I comes up with and error and its make me go dig to use some programs of record I had icons for any idea how to solve this problem?

    Here is the procedure to restore the shell Desktop folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/148461-personal-user-folder-restore-missing-folder.html.  Once you have done this, then go to the folder that you moved with all your icons and copy the icons and move them to this new folder (if it has the same name, you will first need to rename the old folder so a new can be created correctly).  You can also consult to C:\Users\All Users\Bureau and copy the icons to the new folder.  Then go tohttp://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/restore-missing-desktop-icons-in-windows-vista/ to restore the icons from the Windows desktop.  Once this is done, your office should be back to normal - though it may be a little out of order.

  • Inspiron 17r - 5720 problems audio - static, hum, during playback of any audio and the sound of the speaker rear

    Hi, I got my laptop for less than a week and there are several problems with the audio. When no matter what audio is supposed to play, only a static noise comes from loudspeakers. This happens when the music plays, or when a sound system is supposed to play.

    Occasionally when I start the computer, the rear speaker makes a wooshing, a static sound (like a TV white noise) and will continue when I open programs.

    Hello. Unplug the power cable from the computer and listen on the batteries. If the audio improve, then you have a problem of material known with this model.

    The problem is documented in the FAQ Audio Choppy/jump. Look in the section for model Inspiron 7720 and 5720.

    Hello, Zohaib_R welcome on the portable Audio discussion Forum. Feel free to browse the FAQ portable Audio.

  • When you open lightroom it says an error during playback of preview hidden and need to stop smoking. does not restart

    How can I fix it?

    Hi melotam,

    It seems that something in your preview cache has been altered. No worries - you can delete preview cache and Lightroom are going to rebuild it, even if it may take some time, depending on the size of your catalog.

    To remove the preview cache, follow these steps:

    1. quit Lightroom.

    2. in your operating system, look for your Lightroom Catalog. Catalogs are generally/Pictures/Lightroom on Mac and my Pictures\Lightroom on Windows.

    3. Locate the folder whose name ends in "Previews.lrdata" and delete it. (note, may you enjoy a folder whose name ends with "Smart Previews.lrdata." You shouldn't need to remove that one).

    Once the preview folder is deleted, restart Lightroom. You can see gray thumbnails in the grid for a few moments that Lightroom starts to rebuild your preview cache.

    Let us know if that helps.

    Kind regards

  • Reading video freezing/locking up during playback of files on the DISC to the PC, but NOT playing of EXTERNAL DRIVE!

    Engineering please help me to solve my problem of video playback.

    Machine: 3 years, HP PAVILION 1050ex g6, came with WIN 7 Home Premium (occasionally there was problem), now I changed to WIN 7 Ultimate SP1 (Now problem Regularly).

    System: Intel (r) CPU of Core i5 - 2410 M 2.30 GHz, 4 GB of RAM with the 64 bit OS.

    Chart: Intel(r) HD Graphics Family, (the age AMD) Radeon (TM) HD 6470 M, ATI card.

    PROBLEM:
    1 during playback of the files (at the time HD & low quality) video of MY PC, it STOPS for a few seconds or minutes and resumes playback sometimes normally, once as fast shipping sometimes very slow. Repeat the same thing a few minutes. Normally I use GOM or KMP players but I have tried VLC, Windows MP, K-lite classic MP (reading of low quality, but reduces the problem bit) same problem with all the players.

    2. all streaming (watch online cricket & football) and YouTube videos play very well (even the HD 1080 p).

    3 Compuetr LOCKING UP/freezing: while occasionally other programs running or opening files.

    State of the system during playback:
    CPU: 14 to 20%
    RAM: 40%

    Tried solutions:
    1 installed "Full of K-lite Codec pack" and "Shark", still the same problem.
    2 Ran guest and SFC/SCANNOW. not solved the problem.
    3. start in SAFEMODE, still the same problem.
    4. checked the EVENT VIEWER error are not.
    5. all drivers are up to DATE, (checked in Device Manager).
    6. Update Windows.
    7. unwanted applications that run in the background are all arrested through "MSCONFIG".

    PROBLEM SOLVED, Temp orarily.
    1. WHILE PLAYING THE SAME EXTERNAL DISK FILE. (SAME FILES ON MY PC ARE COPIED TO THE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE (OR USB) AND PLAYED BY KMP & GOM PLAYER WITH WINDOWS IN NORMAL MODE, K-LITE SHARK & HAS BEEN UNINSTALLED, A FLUID, NO PROBLEM READING)

    Add info. : INTERNAL (PC) HARD DRIVE (500 GB), TOSHIBA, and TOSHIBA (1000 GB) EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE.

    Hard drive Test performed:
    1. right click "MY COMPUTER" 'Properties', 'Tools', 'Check now' restarts & "defragment now". The problem is not fixed.
    2 Ran invites and ' CHKDSK/C' & ' CHKDSK/F' The problem is not fixed.
    3 installed HP System Diagnostics UEFI & tried every test HARDWARE as subsequence-test, test drive... all tests are PASSED, but the problem not fixed.

    (My) Conclusion: Taking into account these 3 successful hard drive tests no sense of the evolution of the right of the hard drive? But I don't know is there any other test for hard drive or not. (noise of normal hard drive while the system is running & files more voluminous (PDF & MS Office) are open very quickly (by selecting multiple files & open together).)
    I took this as a CHALLENGE. A genius of the solution? Thanks in advance.

    Hello Rizwan,

    Thanks for the reply with the status of the issue and the required information on the subject.

    For more clarity on this issue, I would like to know the following information:

    1. When you stop playing video files of the computer disk, did it give any error message?

    2. did you of recent changes to the computer before this problem?

    Method 1: First try to reduce the hardware acceleration on the graphics card and check if it works very well.

    1. click on Start .

    2. click on Panel.

    3. click on appearance and personalization.

    4. click on customization.

    5. click on display settings.

    6. click on avancΘs.

    7. click on the tab troubleshooting.

    8. click on change settings.

    9. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.

    10 move the hardware acceleration slider until it is one notch to the right of None. It is the basis of acceleration.

    11. click OK twice, and then close the window.

    If the problem is resolved when you set the cursor of None or Basicgraphic hardware acceleration, contact your hardware manufacturer to find out how to get and install the latest video driver for your video card.

    If you have already installed the latest video driver for your video card and that you continue to experience graphic issues with the graphics hardware acceleration set to Full cursor. However, move the graphics acceleration hardware cursor mouse a notch to the left until the issue no longer occurs.

    Method 2: If the problem persists, refer to the following article.
