Problem WMP

Initially asked to Try * 3.

All of a sudden I can't open WMP. When I click on the icon on my desktop, I get the following message:

"The wmplayer.exe file has a version number of 12.0.7601.17514 where 12.0.7601.18150 was expected. Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. »

I followed your instructions for a normal edition of WMP [not N or KN]. I unloaded WMP reloaded and restarted WMP and rebooted.

WMP then worked for a whole day in a row. This morning, when I connected and clicked on the WMP icon, I got the same msg:

"The wmplayer.exe file has a version number of 12.0.7601.17514 where 12.0.7601.18150 was expected. Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. »

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I don't have N or KN and have SP1 and all updates of currently installed Windows.

I went to the troubleshooting Windows Media Player, run and I could open WMP, but all my recorded music had disappeared.

Now, I can't even click on icon to reopen WMP, I get the same error msg.

Any ideas what's happening?

It seems that whenever ANY provider wants to install an "update", it causes more problems and frustrations.

Any suggestions would be helpful. I want my music back!

Thank you.

Acabuzzy,

It's very strange - we all both Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, but mine had no problem with the update.

I guess you fortunately just stay as you are for the moment.

If you try to get to the origin of this, you can see if the problem is caused by Windows itself or by a third party application. Operate the system in Safe Mode [see start your computer in safe mode and in Windows 7 system recovery options] then try the boot procedures [How to solve a problem by performing a clean boot].  Please note that procedures Clean boot can be time-consuming.

  • my windows media player won't let me play movies or download them.i cannot find a way to solve this problem.

    I use vista home 64.eu if I try to use another media player you need on my entire system. I hope someone can help me.thanks.

    Hi Kathy,

    What happens when you try to play or download them? Nothing at all? You get an error message? If what makes say exactly Word for word including all codes? What version of WMP are you using?

    Despite your comment about other media players "support for the entire system" (what means exactly what it means and what other media players are helps you - names and versions)?, I would suggest you download and try free VLC Media Player: http://vlc-media-player.en.softonic.com/.  He helped a lot of people with problems WMP.

    If it does not or you do not want to use a different media player, so you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-system-restore-how.html.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Problems playing videos on Windows Media Player

    I o/s windows 7. It is, after seconds Congressman it starts to load the icon image type things and becomes very slow, that has a cloudy color where can not really see the photos, then crashes. Does not happen when I play music from the albums that I downloaded.

    Hard to tell from the description, but have tried:

    1. run convenience stores of media player to see if they find something wrong? in "search programs and files" type "Troubleshoot" (without the quotation marks), results click "troubleshooting." Click on "programs" and look at convenience stores of WMP.

    2 if this does not help, try to remove WMP, restart the PC and the replacement of WMP. See http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/26107/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-player-in-windows-7-to-solve-problems/ for more details. This can sometimes help with some problems WMP.

  • I can't play DVDs in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 Pro and get this error msg: Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection.

    Hello, thanks for reading and helping me.

    I try to play a legitimate, belonging to DVD, but Windows Media Player 12 will not play on my computer Windows 7 Professional.  The DVD worked a few days ago, but all of a sudden, I get the following error message:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card.

    I did a lot of research of these forums and on the ' net.  Here are the suggested steps I tried without success:

    • I tried VLC player.  This works.  However, rather than use this workaround, I wish to find a solution to my problem WMP/WMC.
    • I tried several DVD for years over the last decade.  These DVD works on my laptop, also running Windows 7 Professional and the shark 007 codec.
    • I uninstalled my Shark 007 codec
    • I tried other codecs (K-Lite)
    • I assured that the latest drivers are installed on my video card, XFX ATI Radeon 5850
    • I tried to uninstall Nero 9
    • I tried to use the Windows 7 troubleshooting options:
    • > Reading and burning CD, DVD and Blu - ray (no problem)
    • > Windows Media Player DVD (no problem)
    • > Windows Media Player Settings (detects a problem, wants to restore factory settings, every time, no matter what happens)
    • A system restore to a time when the DVD was working did not resolve the issue
    • The different links in Microsoft, I found in this forum about this problem do not seem to be useful.  There is a link that points to the set-top boxes, but this page just says: "Windows 7 comes with a decoder.
    • I assured the latest driver is available by going to "Device Manager", right click on the drive, then click on "update driver software".
    • I assured that the latest firmware is installed directly from the manufacturer's website.

  • problem inserting of titles in long audio file

    I use audition 2.0 and work with audio tracks for a long time, in which I use markers to track during combustion.

    My problem is that once I have burn the project, while the tracks are there, the names of the tracks (names) are NOT appear when I test in Windows Media Player.

    I used the hearing for years, but this little problem me stumpted.

    Marker type I select is a marker for 'track '.

    I typed the name of "label".

    In the dialog box 'CD list follow the use', I've fiddled with every imaginable combination of things to the list or remove them from the list.

    After the insertion of markers, I 'mix' ed or "recorded under" reinserted, or just parked in the CD session and burned.

    I read the forums and my book of hearing class and I can't source a solution.

    I need names appear in my songs. What escapes me, please?

    Thank you

    If the hearing cannot score the runs for common players such as WMP can read labels, what other software would recommend that I would incorporate my mixer?

    The whole issue is a problem WMP, not a hearing one. WMP does not read what is actually on the disk at all - it reads the UPC/EAN code, and search relevant information stored on the disk - which fails to do in the case of your home one, obviously.

    Writing of CD-text only written the artist and title, with the UPC/EAN. If you want to get WMP to read the CD-text at all, must have WMP 10, and must also have the plugin WMPCDText to go with it before it will show. If you want more information, look here.

  • Songs appear on the computer but not on sansa

    I fixed the tags on several songs using Mp3tag and then transferred to my sansa using windows media player, and he showed all was fine and that they were now on my sansa, but when I unplugged my sansa to play songs that were not on the player. All the songs are correctlly tag in ID3v2.3 and most have a bitrate of 192, if only the effects any what. Help, please!

    Try MSC mode (under Settings/USB mode) and transfer in this way, simply by drag-and - drop from your computer to the Sansa. Windows Media Player has lots of ways to ruin things, and if MSC works, which will tell you if it is a problem WMP.

  • Windows Media Player does not detect files in the music folder

    Original title: why Windows Media Player NOT showing my music?

    So I recently got myself a new laptop, with Windows 7 Home Premium on it.

    I copied my music to my desktop PC (also Windows 7) folder to the new laptop.

    All the files are there in my user folder music, however, Windows Media Player absolutely refuse to recognize their existence and will NOT add them to your own library. If I navigate to the folder of the album, select a track or multiple tracks and use the context menu to perform them, which works without problem - WMP will play files.

    I checked that the right folder belongs to the library.

    The photos that I copied in the same way everywhere appear correctly in the 'Images' of WMP library.

    After searching on the internet for answers, I came across three very common solutions either on their own or a combination of seems to work for most people:

    (1) removing all THE folders in the music library, then add the. This has no effect.

    (2) will "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player" and delete the entire contents of this folder, or the folder itself. Note that if stop/start no matter which drive Windows Media services also had no effect.

    (3) using the command line tool "attrib" to remove the attribute 'system' of all the files in the folder music.

    Anyone got any ideas that are NOT ALL OF THE above MENTIONED the ELEMENTS, which may be able to help here? Otherwise, I'll move to a slightly less fussy Media Player...

    In fact, as a result, that gave me an idea.

    I went to:
    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries

    And delete the content of this (this will remove ALL your libraries!).

    Then, I used the option "restore default settings", which correctly restored by 4 default libraries. I then recreated both more personalized, I would like to have it.

    Having done this, WMP now seems add my music to his library as I type this...

    I have a problem with WMP and I just want to use another player like RealPlayer to open all my files. How can I do this?

  • No video when you use Windows Media Player.

    Original title: Windows 7 Media player

    When you use the MEDIA PLAYER to play videos I get only the first image and then only the noise that is not image.
    any Suggestions?

    Relevant convenience stores are available to-control panel, troubleshooting services, see everything [on the left], settings of WMP.  If you are online when you open it then it will be updated to the latest version of the troubleshooter before his execution [or you can go directly to the online http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Media-Player-Settings-troubleshooterversion].

    - - - - - - -

    Unless you run a K, N or KN Windows version [see Panel, System], then there is no download WMP.

    Regular updates of Windows include all updates for WMP [for example, the included updated Dec KB2847077 and that was a WMP update].  Ce KB is supposed to be a specific patch for WMP freezing, but some other recent messages indicate it fixed other issues while at least another post said that he created problems [problem WMP] and had to be uninstalled.

    - - - - -

    If you get completely fed up trying to fix WMP, then you can try these two steps [they are the closest thing possible to uninstall then reinstall WMP & will actually provide a new installation of WMP]

    14.1 discharge WMP - Panel, programs and features, Windows features turn on [left] on or off, multimedia functions, clear box Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

    14.2 recharge WMP - control panel, programs and features, [left] turn features on or off, Windows multimedia functions, set the Player Windows Media box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

  • Drive multimedia 12 have a unique Mac address. Mine does not work. Is it broken?

    I have problems streaming music to my Sony Home Theater System.

    Streaming in Windows media player 12 is on and I can see the Sony theater system in my network map but when I look at my Media Player properties, there is no IP or Mac address.  Is this normal?

    I have a second network computer (Vista) and I can access its music library and stream to the Sony system.  What is going on?
    Also the Sony identifies only my Vista computer as a server available.
    Ideas to solve the problem would be very appreciated.  Thanks in advance

    Good afternoon

    I'm really happy because I found a solution to my problem WMP/DNLA.
    It is then a home cinema DLNA see a computer on the network and Windows Media Player 'play to' gives the message: unable to extract information about the media on the media server.
    Where there are people who have always had the same problem, I suggest you follow the following instructions, that work but I don't know why.
    Select:
    1 Control Panel
    2 system and security
    3 administrative tools
    4 services
    Now in the list you must stop:
    1 WMP network sharing service
    2 Service UpNp device host
    Next reboot:
    1 Service UpNp device host
    2 WMP network sharing service

    The system now gives a try.  It worked for me.  My home theater can see my laptop Windows 7 and I can use the feature of "play to" WMP to push music for home theater.

    I found this solution after a lot of internet research, but I lost the link so I can't credit the author. But you know who you are.  Thank you.

  • New problem with Amazon. No video control using WMP version 11.

    Thanks for your help, Meghmala.  I did what you suggested, but when I came tohttp://go.microsoft.com/FWLink?LinkID=34506 the 'UPGRADE' button was grey once again and would not work.  However, after changing the choice of two hidden files, I tried the new UNbox and - sail! -It downloaded and played videos from Amazon.  The only remaining problem is the following: videos of the Amazon are such that they can also be played in Windows Media Player.  I have WMP version 11 from the XP platform.  Videos actually work in WMP version 11, but the video controls (brightness, contrast, color, Tint) don't work - BUT ONLY WITH THE AMAZON of VIDEOS.  Otherwise, the video controls work fine with all my other videos.  By 'do not work', I mean that when I try to drag the pointers to a new value, they suddenly go back to the center position by s.  Any help here?  Thank you!

    Samhrutha - It seems that the problem was with Amazon.  I downloaded the videos WMP 11 wouldn't play correctly, i.e. with the video controls not working not properly, the simplest and most obvious way.  An Amazon representative suggested that I download them a more roundabout way (a lot more), so I did.  Now, WMP 11, they play very well.  Thanks for your help.

  • Problems of slow performance in Vista when playing music with WMP 11

    Whenever I'm playing music on WMP 11, my computer slows down briefly.

    Please keep in mind that I have recently reinstalled Vista on this computer, and before replacing, I had no such problem. I currently use the same drivers I did then.

    I have Vist Home Premium, 32-bit.
