Problem with playing windows media content.

I'm reading a multimedia windows that I bought on Amazon.  When I try to see in WM Player, it pops up a message "the file or device you are trying to use requires a component of Windows Media Player to be upgraded .  If I select update, it says "Connecting to Server" then shows a message "component could not be improved.".  Anyone seen this before?  No idea how to solve this problem?  It seems to be related to the DRM.  When I try to view the file of the Amazon Reader I get a similar error, but it refers to an error in the cache DRM.

Thanks... tb

If this happens immediately after installation of Windows Update, then roll back the update and check again the issue.

  • 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.

    Nolan

    (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.

  • Having a problem with my Windows Media Player... Help!

    I've been ripping CDs from my husband for more than four years and now starting to have a problem with it.  All of a sudden I can record a cd and it works very well and a minute later, put in another and it says cannot save.  What gives with that?  It is not at all an error state.  It does not is not an error for this good state.

    I went to see what I could find and came across a site (don't have a clue right now that that) who said that I should connect to the internet.  Huh?  I don't know that I recorded at some point without the use of the Internet.   Although I ran into a problem with the names of the songs that were not correct on some of the Conference on disarmament, but don't remember if I was on it or not.  So I went on the internet... same thing... still won't save.

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Hello

    Your MP3 player should have 2 settings - MSC that should allow the player to be used as a
    external drive and PSG that is the parameter to use to sync with WMP11. Remove the MP3
    and restart the computer. Change the MP3 in MTP mode - it power off and plug it in.

    I hope this helps.

  • When you try to set up my Tv Tuner in Windows Media Center, I get this error message: "TV Setup has encountered a serious problem. Click Finish to exit, and then try again. If this problem persists, restart Windows Media Center or the computer. »

    I have a HP m8034n pc with a tuner Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC/ATSC Combo.  The pc came with Vista and Windows media center worked great just with the tv tuner.  I upgraded to Windows 7, December 2 and fail to put in place my tv with WMC tuner.  The recorded shows that I had before the upgrade to Windows 7 appear and play without problem in WMC. I used the hardware diagnostic tool that is installed on my pc to control the Tuner, and during the test, I can see fine TV stations.  This unit is compatible according to microsoft Windows 7. I have the latest driver and tried to uninstall and reinstall. I ran Windows Update and everything is up-to-date. After that WMC checks tuners, it says:

    screen A___
    WMC has discovered the following:
    Analog cable (1 Tuner)

    Other tuners or TV signals were detected but will not be configured.
    (Show details)

    Is this Setup correct and complete?
    o Yes, configure TV with these results
    o no, show more options

    There is another question, because he does not list my correct tv tuner. I click, so I'm now on A screen again.

    When I click Yes, set up TV with these results,-(for the analog option Cable(1 tuner), I select my cable service is, and then click Next.) It then displays a confirmation of analog cable and my cable provider, I click Next again and the error message "installation TV met with a serious problem. Click Finish to exit, and then try again. If this problem persists, restart Windows Media Center or the computer. "appears.

    I even tried to set up the signal manually and on the confirmation screen, I click Next, and get the exact same error.

    I would really appreciate any help and if more details are required, please let me know.  Thank you!

    I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.

  • Problems with iTunes re-Setup - "there is a problem with this Windows Installer package"

    I tried to re - install iTunes with the latest version because I had received an "error 7" message instead of iTunes. You had covered the steps to uninstall and reinstall iTunes by removing iTunes, Quicktime, and other applications on my computer. I had uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime, but when I tried to uninstall the Apple software update, I get the following error message:

    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your supplier of staff or the package of support ".

    How am I supposed to fix my problem with iTunes, so I can download music if I couldn't uninstall programs I need to uninstall? Can I try reinstalling iTunes at the moment? Please let me know what I can or can't do.

    Specific file names are mentioned in the error messages?

    Here is the standard advice for dealing with problems of installation of iTunes.  Because you are having trouble to uninstall one or more of these applications, you must use Windows Installer Cleanup mentioned below or Free Revo Uninstaller to uninstall applications difficult.

    Caution: Cleanup utility Windows Uninstaller has been removed from Microsoft download servers because sometimes it seems more removed he was supposed to (I believe this was linked to Office uninstall).  You can still get Windows Installer Cleanup here--> http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html utility if you use it, you must create a restore point from the system first (or back up the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT).  An image full disc would be safer if you have this ability.

    If these steps do not help, ask for help in the Apple forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows?view=discussions&tagSet=1234#/
    *****************************

    Have you tried completely removing all software related to iTunes and files, allowing you to perform a "clean installation" of iTunes? It comes to my technique proposed, taken from the article in Support of Apple HT1926.

    Go to control panel > Add/Remove programs
    Remove these applications:
    1 Apple Software Update
    2. Apple Mobile Device Support
    3 Hello
    4 iPod for Windows (this may or may not exist, be it, it is not necessary, then we can remove it)
    5 iTunes
    6 QuickTime

    Open my computer > C: > Program Files
    Delete this files (if present)
    1 iPod
    2 iTunes
    3 QuickTime

    Empty your temp directory:
    Open my computer > C: > Documents & Settings > username > Local Settings and delete the contents of the folder called "Temp".

    If you don't see the local settings, enable hidden files:
    Tools > Folder Options > view tab
    Select Show Hidden Files & folder, and then click OK

    Once this file is empty, restart the computer

    Download & install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301/
