Hi Vmariedanielle,

1. who is the edition of Windows that is installed on the computer?
2. when exactly you get the error message?

There is no option to remove the Windows Media Player in Windows XP. First of all, we recommend to search for Media Player on XP.

Note: Windows XP Home Edition N and Windows XP Professional N editions do not have Windows Media Player. If you use one of these editions, you must download and install Windows Media Player.
See the Description of Windows XP Home Edition N and Windows XP Professional N

To download and install Windows Media Player, try the following steps:
a. visit http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-media-player
b. download Windows for your Windows Media Player and install it.

Note: You will be prompted to validate your windows before you download the program. Support for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) ended on July 13, 2010.

  • Windows media player - "you want to hide the drive.

    Hello

    Can someone help me with something that leads me into the wall? Since I installed SP2 on my desktop and laptop, when I close WMP everything a video or track is playing, a dialog box appears on the screen asking me "Do you want to hide the drive instead to shut up?". There are two button (Yes & No.), and a checkbox to say '' do not ask that in the future".

    More often than otherwise, this dialog box appears mainly outside the screen area, and I have to drag in the main window. But more annoying than anything else, is that no matter if I check the box "don't ask again", I'm ignored. Whenever I close the player with the closing this window 'X', I get the same dialog box.

    It was not the case prior to SP2. I looked all over the internet by using the text of the dialog box to see if other users know this, and I can't find a thing. I am logged in as administrator (the only user on both machines). I am running Vista 32-bit, l i've got things like FFShow installed and the combined community codec pack. However, my brother also has it installed on his vista machine and did not see the dialog box.

    Is there some sort of registry setting that is corrupt, is not being written because of UAC, or something (anything!) that I can put to stop this dialog once for all to come?

    Much recognition for everyone and anyone who can help you.

    Am I just that you said this happens on both machines? Must be something in common.

  • Can I uninstall Windows Media Player 12 and reinstall in Windows 7 Professional

    I found a fix you guys thank you earlier, but the corrupted files are still there as someone amended to follow something. Files that has not changed with the fix it guy are applications wmpshare 100 KB; wmpconfig 100KB; Wmplayer 161KO. There is no shortcut, but I go to the menu and click on it and takes me to the location of the files that is now different instead of the type pathname %.  Installers has complete control of the confidence of all this I can not change the permissions either. Cannot even remove these files and the interesting things are WMP is not listed in the menu of programs to alter repair uninstall so it cannot be uninstalled anyway. I disable it in functionality, but that it disabled just when I enabled it today, it was the same until the fix. And now I don't remember which arises or what I was doing, but he said a new version of WMP is installed on your computer, you cannot use an old facility to repair your... I forgot, but I took a snip of it:

    This is what arises, I guess that when I clicked on the application of wmpconfig so I'm stuck in this media Bermuda triangle which is sync all my readers as devices to program flash cannot go down of their. And my HotSpot Android 4 g phone that I use as access point for internet. WMP which is synchronized to the library. All my flash drives now phone are synchronized in that library and it cannot play music. It grabs all my videos, photos and don't have the music. It's crazy.

    So now I answer to my own question (s) it is impossible to uninstall

    When I said there is a newer version already installed but I can't. Also up-to-date Flash Player service is stopped and does not let me start I guess because WMP is jacked or pirated, ha.  What can I do? I don't want to do a RESTORE of the SYSTEM cuz it's back in July 6, 2014.  Well I hope someone knows how to handle this cuz it affects a lot of other little things that are not so little for me.

  • Windows Media Player 12 will not reinstall, corrupt the file 'mpvis.dll.mui '.

    I'm trying to fix Windows Media Player 12 without success.

    I tried 'turned on' and 'off' Windows Media Player via "Turn Windows features on or off"-there did not work.  It will not fix the problem, and I think I know why.

    I ran sfc/scannow from the cmd prompt gives me the following in the CBS.log log error message:

    I just took the 'ownership' of the file and replaced by a different copy on another hard drive that worked.  I have the journal and if the information is needed to solve this problem I'll post here apart from the above error message.

    Attempt to run Windows Media player only gives me the error message:

    "Window Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled.  You want to install the player from the Microsoft website? »

    I 'want' install the player on MS website, but they do not offer this possibility because it is nowhere available for download.  I have to say I am frustrated by this situation and I would like to know why MS decided to make this hassle to reinstall a program properly.

  • Windows media player - "you need to update DirectX version 8.1 or higher" when you try to convert WMA files to MP3 with Jodix files

    My nephew has recently tried to convert wma into mp3 files so I could put on my mp3 player. He used Jodix and everything seems to be going as planned until we try to get the songs from Windows Media Player. A message: you need to update DirectX version 8.1 or higher. Well, I tried to download from Windows and got a message saying that I already have the latest version of DirectX. So back to Jodix and found another message that says: I may need to update Windows Media Player to version 7.1 or later version. Only, I don't know what version I have (sorry, I can't find the information). And I don't even know what to do if I found the info. Really, I just want to make my purchases from Wal-Mart (purchased several years as wma) to play on my mp3 player. Can someone help me? I would like your advice. Thank you!

  • I uninstalled Firefox and now you want to reinstall, but my computer says that it is already 100% downloaded.

    I couldn't use Firefox because it wouldn't load websites (it would just load for several minutes before giving up). I have reset and the problem persisted. As a last resort, I uninstalled Firefox to see if then put it back would solve the problem. Try reinstalling Firefox, after clicking on "Run", my computer says that Firefox is 100% downloaded, despite the fact that it has been uninstalled and is no longer on my computer. As a result, it is now impossible for me to launch Firefox. Any help?

    On the main download page, you get a small "stub" for Firefox installer that needs to connect to additional files. Firewalls or other components can sometimes this fails (even if 100% doesn't look like a failure...).

    When I want to burn a CD in Windows Media Player, it shows "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when burning the file to disk".    What's wrong? How to fix?

    I tried several times to remove the selection to burn and create a new a new but it keep "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when burning the file to delivery" appears what should I do?   What problem is it?

    Hello

    1. what file format you are trying to burn?

    2. have you made changes on the computer recently?

    3. What is the security software installed on the computer?

    If it's something you downloaded, it may be copy protected by DRM, in which case you may not burn it to a CD or DVD.

    Here are a few things to try:

    1. make sure that the disc is clean.

    2. try a different brand of blank discs.

    3. stop all other programs that are running.

    4. make sure that the hard drive does not use disk compression.

    I suggest that you follow these steps and check if they help to solve the problem.

    Method 1:

    Try to use the Troubleshoot utility to see if that solves the problem.

    a. open the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel.

    (b) in the search box, type "convenience store" and then click Troubleshooting.

    c. click on show all and then click the Windows Media Player settings.

    Method 2:

    Select a recording speed (write) more slow for the CD burner.

    Change settings for burning a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-settings-for-burning-a-CD-or-DVD-in-Windows-Media-Player

    Method 3:

    If you have any third-party burning software, I suggest you temporarily Uninstall it and then try to burn the disc using Windows Media Player.

    Note: Reinstall the software after the trial.

    Method 4:

    Temporarily disable all programs that could activate themselves, while burning is in progress, such as screensavers or anti-virus programs.
