    Hello

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. you receive an error message?

    3 when was the last time it was working fine?

    Method 1

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    Method 2

    If the above step failsthenI suggests Mr scanner SFC on the computer that would scan for corrupt system files on the computer and replace them.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  • When you start Windows Media Player I get error: "Server execution failed".

    Hello

    When I try to start Windows Media Player by double-clicking an audio or video file, I get the error "Server execution failed" for this file. Can someone tell me what this means and what I can do about it?

    Thank you

    Christi

    Hi Christi,

    You may receive this error if you try to open a file media shortly after the closing of Windows Media Player (WMP).  When you close WMP, the user interface is closed immediately, but WMP continues to be in a State of "shutting down" for a few seconds, and the process is still in activity during this period.

    To avoid this problem it should be enough to wait a few seconds before Windows Media Player opens, 2 seconds at least.

  • Windows Media Player - error C00D1198 when you listen to files online

    C00D1198

    I had the same problem over and over again with my Windows Media Player. He is not consistent, but it happens several times a day. When you try to listen to music on the net, I am having problems and receive an error code that reads C00D1198. I don't know what it means, and I would like to know how to avoid ever see that again. In addition, there were moments where I got Windows Media Player successfully, but after a while, the music would stop playing on its own.

    Hi Dazzlicious,

    Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server that hosts the content you want to listen to. You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

    1. The name of the server that hosts the content is not valid. If you typed an address Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in the Open URL dialog box, verify that the file name is spelled correctly and that the path to the file is correct, and then try again. If you clicked a link on a Web page, the link isn't valid.
    2. The server is not available (for example, the server is busy or not online). Try again later.
    3. For Windows Media Player proxy server settings are not configured correctly. Verify that your proxy server settings are correct.

    Follow the steps in the article below to check your proxy server settings

    To help you better with this problem I would like to answer a few questions.

    In the meantime, you can try the methods below to see if the problem is resolved.

    Hi Nick91606,

    (a) click the Start button.

    (b) in the search box, type command prompt.

    (c) in the list of results, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
