QUESTION OF WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER!

I have this program that requires Windows Media Player 10 or higher to operate right.

I have Windows Player 9 Series that came from the operating system disc. (Recovery disk)

It does not appear in Add / Remove programs.

I have run and check the updates from Microsoft Update and he finds nothing at all and Windows Media Player 9 Series and he tells me that my computer is running the most recent version of Windows Media Player and all its components and that no update is available at this time.

Can you please tell me how to get rid of this Windows Media Player 9 Series I and install the latest Windows Media Player, that would be 10 or 11. Thank you!

WMP 9 comes preinstalled on XP, and I'm sure that it is not possible to uninstall it-I certainly wouldn't recommend it in any case. Installation of WMP 11 on top of WMP 9 should work just fine.

However, I suggest that you use system restore to create a restore point before the upgrade. In case anything goes wrong, you can always roll back to this restore point, without having to reinstall Windows.

  • -What someone answering questions on Windows Media Player. I can't download a license for music. It gives me error 438.

    I have Windows Media Player 11

    Hello

    1 have had any changes made to your computer before this problem?

    Perform the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    There is a possibility that internet settings are causing this error 438 to come.

    Go to your Internet Explorer and check the settings of Internet security. Make sure to set the level on 'medium high'. If the level is set higher, it can block the Windows Media Player to download the license, Windows Media Player error 438 to come.

    Also in the Internet security settings, it is important to "run activex controls and plug-ins." By activating these two parameters, it must deal with what caused the error to occur in Windows Media Player.

    Method 2: reset the DRM Bank on the computer.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) If Windows Media Player is running, exit Windows Media Player.

    (b) locate the DRM folder on the hard disk, and then rename the folder to DRMbackup DRM.

    Note: by default, this folder is located in the following location in Windows:

    %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM

    (c) visit the following Microsoft Web site:

    http://drmlicense.one.Microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp  

    (d) follow the instructions on the website to update the safety component of Windows Media Player. This procedure allows you to obtain new licenses for media content. You can also reset licenses for purchased content so that you can play that content on a computer.

    Note: DRMs, such as Microsoft Windows Product Activation, maintain an internal hardware ID. This ID is based on the hardware configuration that existed during the installation of Windows or installing Windows Media Player 11. If you change the processor of the computer or other devices, the hardware in the DRM system ID does not match the new computer configuration. When this occurs, DRM determines that a user has tried to move the content protected to a different computer. This behavior can also occur if the storage protected by DRM in the Windows registry has been changed.

    Note: you must contact any third-party stores where you purchased music to reset the licenses for that music. If you copied CDs for protected Windows Media Audio files, the CD must be copied again.

    For your reference: When you try to use Windows Media Player 11 to play a digital rights (DRM) - management protected, multimedia media can not play

  • 1: 0x80042318__2 system restore error: Windows Media Player 11 will not work open__3: Internet Explorer 8 crashes when opening.

    I have these three questions of program after reinstallation of Windows Vista and tried (mostly unsuccessful) using Windows Easy Transfer to move and reinstall my programs and files. My computer had some problems before start, (it would be almost always gives me the blue screen at startup and go into Startup Repair). The Startup Repair wouldn't fix anything and just lose about 20 minutes of my time. Finally, he wouldn't even load at all and the Startup Repair did not help so I decided to reinstall Windows Vista. It worked perfectly until what stupidly, I decided to try and use Windows easy transfer if everything goes well "to" my programs this new copy of Windows Vista.

    So now my questions are: Windows Media Player 11 does not open. I don't see a thumbnails of videos that would open with Windows Vista either. Oddly, although I can use Windows Media Center very well. I also installed Quicktime player and it seems to work perfectly.
    It was not catastrophic but especially a gene. I use VLC player to manage most of my videos very well, but love using WMP before.

    Second: I can't create restore points at all. Once I try, I get this error message:
    "The restore point could not be created for the following reason:
    An error was detected in the copy Service VSS (Volume Shadow). The problem occurred while trying to connect with the VSS writers. Please check the event system service and the VSS service are running and look for errors related to event logs. (Ox80042318) Please try again. »

    Finally, for some reason any after the transfer, eventually after Internet Explorer automatically updated it will completely freeze when I open it. This is for me the prompt to open the session previously was crushed, and if I try that or close the dialog to open just the home page, it will freeze completely, even the blue circle next to the name of the tab to load.
    Fortunately, I have Firefox and Google Chrome installed, both work very well.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not entirely fretting on IE8 and WMP 11 but I feel really that less stressed if I know that I have a System Restore Point in case my previous numbers start to happen again.

    Here are my system specs, in case that dans le cas ou c' est is somehow useful.

    Do you have these problems if you for testing purposes create a new user?

    Other things you can try after trying the suggestions "Sreenkanth T" is to run the ChkDsk program.

    Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click on your drive icon / properties / tools / error checking.  Try first by checking do not each box (that it will run in read-only mode) to see if it reports any problems file or hard drive.  If so, restart it by checking both boxes and restart to allow him to attempt to fix any problems found

    Windows Easy Transfer moves not installed third-party programs on the whole, he does that move their settings, your files and settings Windows.

    As you have just reinstalled Vista, where were your old programs and files (on which machine) when you used Windows Easy Transfer, you still have access to them?

    You have to maybe do the reinstall once more but forget your settings and just manually copy all of your data?  This way you will give you restart with no old parameters of any other machine?

    You can also consult the third-party program (costs a little money), but he can move everything, including the programs installed.

  • How to use Windows media player with the windows Task Scheduler (7)?

    Original title: why it is so difficult... question of windows media player 12

    You want to use Windows media player with windows (7) Task Scheduler.   We have a pc, everything that appears on the screen is also pumped to our community cable channel, normally a slideshow in loop is the show, however, sometimes via a scheduler interrupt the slideshow to play a video (say a video of our last Board of Directors meeting) and to make videos, ideally the slideshow returns.

    Using Microsoft software, in this case, Windows Media Player v12.0.7601.18150, Task Scheduler 1.0, two things must happen.

    1 Task Scheduler launch a video in fullscreen / top of window.

    2. when the video is finished, wmp is closed.

    Well, 1 works fine.  The Task Manager launching wmp in full screen.  And a framework of wmp switches to allow a session of wmp be on top.

    However, a short time after launch wmp cut the screen down to a smaller version.

    And 2. closure of WMP fails to occur.  He remains on the screen waiting for human input.

    Any input appreciated.

    Charlie

    For "cuts WMP down to a smaller version", right click on the video game (during playback) and deselect ' auto Player size to contain video.

    For number 2, define your point of Task Scheduler task for the "end of task after X minutes" and therefore the value of X.  Then it will kill the instance of running Media Player after a large number of minutes.  So, it will absolutely immediately when the video is done playing, but it will be within 60 seconds and will be at least to remove WMP and let your slideshow be visible again.

  • Question on the Windows Media Player privacy setting

    I've been using Windows media player for almost a decade, like many other people, but I never really paid attention to all those defining what affects privacy in WMP.  Now, I have a few questions about these privacy setting.

    I read in the windows Help article, if I check on "update my music files by retrieving the news media of the internet " in the Privacy tab on the Options in Windows Media Player dialog box, it is said that ' indicates if the player will automatically obtain and update missing media information for music files in your library. If the information is available. If this check box is selected, the Player tries to update any missing media information in the files by sending data about them to a database of Windows Media. "

    Here is a link to the page that explains more about the configuration of the protection of personal information in WMP11.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/products/Windows-Media-Player/11/privacy-statement?locale=409&geoid=F4&version=11.0.5721.5280&UserLocale=409#section_6

    My question is that if I turn the setting (which was on), this means that my music in my library files are sent on a windows media database?  or just a piece of information about the file are sent to them?

    Let's say I have a family video that I created with my own camera in AVI file format and it ' in my library.  If the setting I mentioned above is enabled, the video files are also sent to the database of windows media, or somewhere?   There is nothing to hide, but I really don't want my own private music which will be sent to anywhere else on my computer that's why I really want to know what kind of data or information about the file are sent to the windows media database to retrieve information from the media.

    also what about the customer experience improvement program in the drive configuration? ("I want to help makeMicrosoft software and services even better by sending Player to check data use versMicrosoft" on the Privacy tab on the dialog option in the player)  I did not know until now, but the setting has been activated on my player... If it's on, my personal files in my library are sent to Microsoft? According to the article, I've read it doesn't seem like it, but I don't know and want to make sure.

    I'm sorry for the long long entry... but if anyone can help me with the answer, I would really really appreciate it!

    Thank you very much

    As for the 1st setting, audio/video files certainly is not sent to Microsoft (which would require anyway a lot too much bandwidth). WMP only sends the metadata, such as title, artist, length etc.

    On the 2nd parameter, the privacy statement for the Customer Experience Improvement Program is at http://www.microsoft.com/products/ceip/EN-US/privacypolicy.mspx . After that, no personal file will be sent (I don't see how those that might be useful to Microsoft). If you are still not sure, you can always disable this setting without side effects.

  • Question for Microsoft Support; I have a huge amount of music files .m4a that I can not play on Windows Media Player?

I can't understand how to enter these data into my old Emachines computer Windows Vista run the Media Player program. I tried to copy a few files m4a manually in the file Media Player Music folder, but they do not play. I'm not really all that computer savvy and know only the basics, I need to use my computer really. Can you give me some step by step instructions how to get these converted files or whatever it is I need to do to get them to play and to integrate properly into my library if it is possible? If this isn't the case, I'll have to go out and buy a new Apple computer for my 60 GB music collection. In the past, that I've never had no real problem shooting files to leave this computer based Vista and convert these files to my old computers Apple Itunes Player. So what's the problem with your system of guys that done anyway this such a pain in the butt? I would really like to understand what exactly is happening with this issue? It's very frustrating for me. I'm a finish Carpenter not a computer programmer. Such things should not be so difficult for someone like me to understand. All I intend to buy a really nice computer, probably in the summer and was considering a Microsoft based computer.

    According to research on the Internet, Windows Media Player, atleast this is version 11 (included in Windows Vista and available for Windows XP SP2 +) cannot play Apple loseless type .m4a audio files without having to install any codecs.

    If you want to use Windows Media Player, you can follow the instructions mentioned here to install the necessary codecs and plugins.

    (In the related instructions above, in the first step talks about codecs - your .m4a files are files Apple loseless then follow the party referred to in the first stage about Apple loseless .m4a)

    Personally, I prefer using alternatives to Windows Media Player rather than installing codec packs.

    If you don't want to install codecs, download no matter what media player from "programs that open. M4A files"- Windows category list on this page.

    If you use a spare player - VLC Media Player is my choice.
