Uninstall-reinstall Windows Media Player 12 for Windows 7z

Seems to be a major problem with Windows Media Player 12, (not just me!). My problem could be solved easily by doing a restore. However, if I do a recovery, I'll lose hundreds of thousands, most likely several million files because I have at least 13 t of memory on my computer and external hard drives that will play only on this OS. That's why I have to repair Windows Media Player. Is there a solution?

  • Windows media player 11 for vista full dysfunction on cd burn?

    the Windows media player 11 for vista 64 holiday won't let me burn a blank cd media file at 192 kilobits per second (highest quality with songs less) it starts to burn and then cancels the entire drive and ruins it, now you mind, at the lowest kilobytes / option dry it will burn the cd with songs more but at the lowest quality which means that the disc is not very good in any case please help! Joe

    Hello

    You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
    correctly.

    Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
    tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

    ===========================================

    This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
    a shot.

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts

    Windows Media Player 12 comes without a doubt with lighter and brighter user interface, but also several new features with a built in support for many video and audio formats popular. Unfortunately, Windows Media Player 12 is currently not available for download for Vista.

    The Windows media player 12 will be offered by the Windows updates once it is available for Windows Vista.

    You can stay up to date with all the downloads of Microsoft, published from the link below.

  • No video in Media Player 11 for Vista

    AVI files from my digital camera used to play in Media Player 11 for Vista. All of a sudden Media Player only plays sound, but no video for them. Or, it shows the first frame as a still image or a musical note icon. AVI files play again fine in QuickTime Player or DivX Plus Player. This happens not just with new AVI I downloaded recently, but also with the 'old'. I have not install new programs or change anything else (that I know of). The restore point creation feature is disabled, so I can't go back to when everything worked. Help, please.

    Excellent detective work!

    You are welcome and thank you for the comments.

    System Restore can be very useful sometimes...
    It was a good idea to turn it back on.

  • I have a problem with the active WiFi Seagate GoFlex TV Media Player asking for a net user ID and a password.

    Original title: Net User ID & Net password

    After the upgrade from Vista to W7-64 CV, I have a problem with an active WiFi Seagate GoFlex TV Media Player asking for a "Net User ID & Net password" to log.  I used all imaginable combinations of IDs & passwords, but they all lead to logon fails. I'm almost certain that it is a W7 security problem because others with the same players who went to W7 face the same problem.  I found many supposed fixes online, but none works.

    I am aware that MS W7 works as it should and Seagate is not their problem, but if anyone can recommend a change of security to help this issue, I guarantee a pass towards the sky.

    PS: All the sharing, etc. continuously.  are installed as they should be.

    The only reference to Net User ID and password I can find is on page 46/47 of the User Guide. If this is not the user name and password of the Windows account that you want to share files with, I don't know what it is.

    I guess patches that you tried to include those that are mentioned here:

    http://forums.Seagate.com/T5/FreeAgent-theater-and-GoFlexTV/logon-fail-home-network-Windows-7/TD-p/70540

    I would have suggested the registry change.

    It might be worth checking that you have the latest firmware, just in case.
