  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Forum.
  Try disabling UAC.
  If the problem handles Disabling UAC uninstall all third-party plugins or codecs, sounds like a WMP plant where he has no administrator rights.

  How to turn off UAC?
  Click Start > Control Panel > accounts user and family safety > user accounts > select your username > then click on change user account control settings and uncheck the box. Restart your computer for this setting to take effect.

  Hello

  Codecs: Frequently asked questions
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

  All you need is good Codec

  Check here:

  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

  -------------------------------------------------------------

  If 64 bits and you need codec.

  Read this 1st and go that route, or use the one below. (Vista or Windows 7)

  http://www.Vistax64.com/sound-audio/152850-Vista-codec-pack-32bit-64bit-Media-Player-codecs.html

  --------------------------------------------------------------------

  If 64-bit - can run WMP in 32 or 64 bit mode.

  Or try these: download - SAVE - go to the place where your put them RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN.

  For 32-bit use these - OR the 32 bit ones listed above which I prefer.

  K - Lite Codec Pack 10.0.0 (or newer)
  http://www.codecguide.com/

  Use them for 64-bit:

  K - Lite Codec Pack (64-bit) 10.0.0 (or newer)
  http://www.codecguide.com/

  K - Lite now includes BOTH 32 and 64 bits in a single download installable.

  Also look for updates, September 6, 2013, was K-Lite Codec Pack 10.0.3
  Download and install it after the main program.

  -------------------------------------------------------------

  You know that you use WMP 32 or 64

  Change, modify or value 64-bit Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11) in Windows Vista x 64 as default (or WMP12 - Windows7)
  http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/01/19/switch-change-or-set-64-bit-Windows-Media-Player-11-WMP11-in-Windows-Vista-x64-as-default/

  And you can use it when necessary because no codex is usually required.
