stop the Windows media player 11 to play without apparent reason

In recent weeks, my Windows Media Player 11 has been rather eccentric. Sometimes (and apparently with increasing frequency) WMP stop just playing the track, I'm playing, it does seem to be some tracks and occurs only with files Mp3. I have updated codecs and WMP itself was already perfectly up to date as much as WMP 11 can be updated. The system is not 'suspended' and I don't have any problem reading Mp3 Zune player. I don't know why it does this, it gets worse and worse still, at first it was once a few everyday now its several times a day. I did spies and antivirus software and found nothing.

I am running Windows Vista 64-bit with SP2 and all other updates are current as well as for Windows and installed everything.
Motherboard: Asus M4A785-M
Audio use onboard VIA VT1708S
8 GB of system RAM
1.2 TB of free hard drive space (checked to find errors, also using the sd card to play MP3s from and still has this problem)
If the thing is needed let me know.
Thank you!
Edit: I forgot to mention that before this WMP started getting lag to load anything, I load wmp and the video or music does not start for about 10 seconds. All other works very well with no latency.

    How can I stop windows media player to automatically enter full screen mode whenever I have to read a DVD.

    There was an error in the original question - it should have read "whenever I have to Insert a DVD.   In any case I solved this problem of turing option to automatically read the DVD under Autoplay

  • Is - it there anyway that I could stop the windows media player 11 is the software default to listen to music?

    Hi, I just brought a new vista. and frankly, I'm not happy with WMP 11, no offense, I liked 10 and 9, but 11 offers not only the things that I need a music player. So, I installed another software and tried to set it as the default player for mp3 files and so on. but the strange it is, whenever I try to change the default, it just goes back to WMP 11, no matter how many ways I've tried. I use "right click" the file and modify the program by default, it did not work. I went to "start" - "default programs" - "set your default progames", I can not still tick 'mp3' out of the list. ""  Then I tried "associate a file type" - then mp3 associated with another program, it seemed normal for the first time. but then when I tried to open another mp3 file, it just goes back to WMP 11 new.

    I really have to use WMP 11 to play songs? at the least, help me to roll back to WMP 10 please.

    Hello

    Right-click on any Mp3 song. Under properties, there will be an option "open with." Click on the button 'change '. Then choose the desired program and check "always use this program to open this type of file.

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows Media Player will only play a sound with no video .avi and .mov

    I started having a problem where the Windows Media Player will only play the audio portion of my .avi and .mov video files.

    These files were created by my FlipCam or my Sony Handycam.

    I never had problems until recently and think that it is due to some kind of Windows Update.

    Both my computer and my wife's computer had the same problem and we are both using Windows XP Home Edition.

    I apologize if this topic already on this forum.

    Thanks for any help and advice.

    CoDec = compressor decompressor.
    A program is used to compress the file. You then need to unpack the file to play, you need the codec used to compress the file to decompress it on your pc.
    You need DVD playing software installed to power the mpeg codec, or you can buy a codec to just run in media player.
    AVI is a wrapper and may well contain more than 800 different file types, it has 800 different codecs!  Thus, to read an avi file, you should know what codec was used to do and have that installed on your pc to read.
    DV.avi is made with the dv codec, divx.avi is made with the divx codec.
    Of course, that manufacturers make their codecs, you must make sure you have the latest being, to be able to read files made with it, so everything just because you downloaded the codec divx 12 months ago does not mean it will play files created with codecs of today!

    I hope this explains it is ok for you.

    It surprises me that you say that you have downloaded all the updates of altest, but are still running wmp9, where we are now on WMP11 for XP and 12 for win7.

    I would update my WMP version first.

    Here is a page that will tell you that the codecs are on your pc and who has access to WMP 11.
    http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/HowToFindCodecs.html

    Here is a page that will tell you how to know what codec was used to create the file that you are trying to watch and also if you have the right codec for it
    http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/AVIcodec.html

    It is generally accepted that the codec packs adding is a bad idea, so if you need a codec to read a certain file, google it's manufacturer and just install the one you need.

    I would work just on the pc at the same time when you found what the problem is, you can fix on the other 2.

    Need more help with this, just ask.

  • Windows Media Player does not play the Audio CD in Windows XP.

    Original title: Media Player 11

    Out of the blue, my media player has stopped working. I don't think I did something for him, but he started playing an audio CD. I have no error message, it will not play. I have another media player on my computer, which didn't interfere with Media Player 11, but I get an error message that says that it cannot open "" MRL CDSG: / / / D: / ".

    Hello

    1. are you able to play the songs in the Windows Media Player library?

    2. is the specific question on a CD?

    3. What are the types of audio file that do not play?

    Method 1: As happens with another player more, it might be that particular CD is corrupt.

    Try again with another CD and see if that plays.

     

    Method 2: Although most CD using the file system ISO 9660 CD Windows XP can read CD created by other operating systems may use filesystems not supported. The most obvious example is the Mac CD using the HFS file system.

    Back to a system restore point previous fixed the problem and I could again play the files in Media Player, but during the night that Windows updates installed and the morning I could not play these .mp4 files once more. So I restored to a point earlier, changed my updates so that they are is more automatic and by installing each day at a time, I finally isolated the problem in Internet Explorer 10. If I install that, just Windows Media Player will not play these files.
    I tried a manual update of Internet Explorer 10, turn off all the options of toolbars shit and everything, thinking that when it automatically installs those who may be included, but that has not helped. Had to go back to my previous IE10 restore point. So no matter what, Internet Explorer 10 kills my ability to play .mp4 on Windows Media Player files.
    I don't have toolbars running on IE9 at all.
    I know that's obvious answer is 'do not install Internet Explorer 10' or if I do, download another player for .mp4 files. But the fact is, it shouldn't happen, it is indicative of something being wrong, and I would like TO be able to install Internet Explorer 10 AND use Windows Media Player to play these files. If someone else has had this problem, or know a way to fix it?
    Here are my system specs:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
    Intel Core i5 - 3350P @ 3.10 GHz CPU
    ASRock H77M LGA 1155 motherboard
    8 GB DDR3 240 - Pin SD RAM
    Diamond Radeon HD 7870PE52GV 7870 GHz video card
    And all my programs are installed on this:
    SAMSUNG series Pro 840 MZ-7PD256BW 2.5 "256GB SATA III MLC internal Solid State Drive
    I'd appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you!!

    I tried myself after experiencing the same problem and error code. I uninstalled the KB2670838 update, and then my Windows Media Player finally worked again. I also found that IE 10 must be uninstalled as well. Installation of IE 10 also automatically installs the update of KB2670838 platform. After uninstalling KB2670838, IE 10 automatically uninstall with it, better you hide two updates so that they do not install again. From the link in the previous post, I learned that the platform update is having problems of conflict with the AMD drivers. Good luck to you and hope this helps.

    Hello


    Videos in 3gp format cannot be played directly on Windows Media Player.
     
    You will need a codec to play the video file. A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use the codec to play and create digital media files.
     
    Method 1:
     
    You can check the link to see the guidelines on the issue.

    You can use the link and check if you get the necessary codec to download based on the file type, you are trying to read.

    Method 3:
     
    You can also use your favorite search engine to download and install a codec based on the file type, you must use.
     
    NOTE - using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.

  • Not able to play songs directly from the Windows Media Player library.

    Original title: Windows Media Player won't play songs unless I have...

    WMP plays the songs, unless I directly go where the file is located and open like that.  It works just fine. The problem is a lot of work. I play usually just in my library on shuffle. Many songs will not play this way, though, but like I said, they work fine when I open the file from its location. There is a blue circle with an exclamation in it that says "WMP can not locate this file. The file may have been deleted or moved, or the path may be incorrect. "I checked the location, and they are there. Help, please!

    Well, looks like your Explorer library WMP links are corrupt; You probably need to rebuild the library. Corruption occurs when files are moved or changed in the library of the Explorer... tasks of this nature must be always performed in the library WMP or the location of the file.

    In a first step, go to 'Tools' - 'Advanced' (if you do not see 'tools' of the bar menu isn't showing, then go to "Organize" - "Layout" and select "Show Menu bar")-then click on "restore Library. WMP will then rebuild the library.

    Let us know if it improves things... R >
