Title of song-Player Windows Media does not display properly when played
Problem with Media Player
The box on the bottom of my screen shows 1 song, but another play! This has never happened before... How can I fix this so that they match?
Hi Catwoman,
Follow the steps below and check if that helps you solve the problem with Windows Media Player.
You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it helps to load the music into the library and if you can play all the songs.
To do this, follow these steps:
Step 1
1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. for Windows 7: click Start, click Run, type Player, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media , andclicknext OK.
3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.
Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
4. restart Windows Media Player.
Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
Step 2
If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Playercache of database files. To do this, follow these steps:
1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. If you are running Windows 7, click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, , andclicknext OK.
3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.
4. restart Windows Media Player.
Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
Also note before performing the steps above, I suggest to save the songs and try the steps above.
I hope this helps. Let us know the results.
Thank you and best regards,

Method 1: Check with another keyboard.
Try a different keyboard on your computer. If it works well when you connect a different keyboard, the issue may be with the keyboard.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:
-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
you have.Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
Site of the manufacturer here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
REBOOT after each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
