The upgrade of Windows Media Player
Is it possible to either remove the program Windows Media Player comes pre-installed with Vista on my laptop or upgrade to Windows Media Player 11? I tried to do both without success. It seems that I can't selectively uninstall the current WMP program and download WMP11 and you try to start, it give an error message saying that there is a more current WMP program on my computer. Advice?
Vista comes with WMP 11 as part of the Vista operating system.
And no, it is not possible to uninstall it.
For questions of WMP:

I get this error when I try to play a file I've downloaded BBC iplayer. What is the solution?
My sound driver and the device is installed and running as I am able to listen to music on my laptop. He used to work until I upgraded to Windows 7. and since I have updated it did not work. Windows Media Player works on other video files
Please try the following steps: -.
1. use Windows Update, or access the sound device manufacturer's Web site to see if an updated driver is available.
2. use Device Manager to check the status of your audio device.
a. click Start, right-click computerand then click Manage.
(b) in the left pane, click Device Manager.
c. in the pane, expand sound, video and game controllersand then look for the name of your audio device.
d. do one of the following:
3. If your audio device is listed, but the icon has a red 'X', the device has been disabled. To activate the device, right-click the icon, and then click Activate.
4. If your audio device is not listed in the right pane, expand other devices. If the Multimedia Audio Controller appears in the list, right-click on the icon and then click Update driver software. Follow the on-screen instructions to find and install the driver software.
5. If you are not able to find and install the correct driver software, go to the Web site of your computer or the manufacturer of your sound device manufacturer for assistance.
6. If you do not have a sound device installed on your computer, install an audio device and then try to play the file again. For more information, go to the Web site your manufacturer of the computer or the manufacturer of your audio device.
7. If you try to play a file on the Internet, try again later. The server may be temporarily unavailable or there could be a network problem.
8. If you try to play an MP3 file that contains compressed ID3 headers, make a copy of the file and then use an ID3 tag non - editing program Microsoft to remove or reset the file's ID3 headers.
The ID3 header is a part of the file that stores the album information of the song (for example, the song name, artist name, album name and kind). This information is sometimes called tag. After you remove the headers ID3, Windows Media Player should be able to play MP3 files.

You have to locate the files on your internal hard drive, using the Explorer, then drag and drop them on the hard drive. If you don't know where they are on your hard drive, right click on the video file in the library and choose the location of the opened file.

Original title: IRQL NOT or LESS EQUAL (BSOD) help
Hello
I've experienced this * IRQL NOT LESS or EQUAL * problem irregularly from January 2. It happened after doing some tinkering with the registry of Windows Media Player files (but I made sure to return to the default options once I'm done and I have also provided a backup copy) since it generates random album art files and I am looking for a way to stop him. I also deleted the files Windows Media Library (wmdb). I don't know if this has nothing to do with the BSOD. This error occurred at random intervals, sometimes after opening my computer laptop it will BSOD sometimes, it won't happen after long operating hours. Hope you can help me with this.

When I copy a CD with Windows Media Player, I get the message pop up after the investigation period is over: "Windows Media Player cannot download the media for this CD information. The other titles, artist, and album will be identified as "Unknown" in your library. For best results, connect to the Internet or manually add media for CD information. »
I know that the message appears when I turn on the setting to allow WMP to connect to the internet to get information about the media, but I don't want WMP does. What I want is a button I can push on the pop-up that says "don't show this message again" (similar to the warnings seen in internet explore). How can I disable this pop-up window without activating the internet connection option.
In case you're wondering, the data from the internet are incompatible in the naming convention so when I rip an audio book, so I can listen to my mp3 player, I can't completely post-processing script because not all of the disks in a set have a coherent on the slopes or even name the disc etc. At least drives marked 'Unknown' is consistent and so easy to script for the reduction to a single MP3 file.
