• "Server execution failed" in Windows Media Player

  original title: the execution of the server failed

  Often, when I play an audio file in Media Player, my computer loads for a few seconds and then gives the error "Server execution failed". I tried everything in this topic: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-sound/windows-7-media-player-server-execution-failed/ecc08c3b-d445-48c2-b07d-9df48500434f, but it does not solve my problem. I got the errors of memory before, but I fixed those.

  The suggestion worked for you? Try 5 second delay.

  Sometimes an audio file has a period of closure in fade or even silence or a low level at the end. If you click on to read another file before the file is actually finished playing, you get a server running has no reviews.

  It would be more elegant if the application produces a message of type "has a moment, please" and then fix the new request, but...

Some programs may have set up your speakers for surround, double check windows audio configurations and your sound card audio for Dolby Surround options and enabled and try to turn them off.

• Windows media player I can't find a way to remove photos, or download it to a flash drive

  I have a bunch of pictures I want to get off Windows Media Player and I can't figure out how do it.

  The best would be to go into your folder of photos where the photos are actually saved.

  In fact, when you are in Windows Media Player, you can select (highlight)
  a file and choose in the menu "open file location".

  The following steps may be worth a try:

  Once you have accessed the right folder... Select the photos you want to add to
  the flash player.

  The group selected (highlighted) right click and choose... Copy.

  Reach... Start button / computer... your USB should be recognized
  with a drive letter.

  Right-click on the drive letter that represents the flash drive and choose... Dough.

  Right click on the selected group of photos and the menu another option...
  choose... Send to / {select the drive corresponding to the Flash drive letter}

  The Photos must transfer.

  My nephew has recently tried to convert wma into mp3 files so I could put on my mp3 player. He used Jodix and everything seems to be going as planned until we try to get the songs from Windows Media Player. A message: you need to update DirectX version 8.1 or higher. Well, I tried to download from Windows and got a message saying that I already have the latest version of DirectX. So back to Jodix and found another message that says: I may need to update Windows Media Player to version 7.1 or later version. Only, I don't know what version I have (sorry, I can't find the information). And I don't even know what to do if I found the info. Really, I just want to make my purchases from Wal-Mart (purchased several years as wma) to play on my mp3 player. Can someone help me? I would like your advice. Thank you!
