• How can I get rid of the pop ups telling me to update my Media Player

  Hello

  I can't seem to open all the links on Facebook or other websites without getting a pop up saying, «I need to update my HD media player» How can I stop this from happening? I tried to uninstall MacKeeper, Niceplayer and MacPlayer without success. I guess there are still a few hidden files somewhere on my computer that I have no idea how to get rid of. I also googled one forum mac how to get rid of the problem and within 5 seconds, I am immediately directed to a site that tells me I have to update my player. Help!

• DRM component problem, can't update Windows Media Player security

  I try to use my OverDrive and I have this same problem of 'a problem has occurred in the DRM component. Contact microsoft support"with the button unclickable on the link I see that many others have had. I looked at previous answers for them and I have renamed my DRM folder to DRMbackup, changed my proxy on Windows media player settings, troubleshooted the patch use windows media he asked (including reinstall them WMP), cleared my cookies in IE and firefox, and the update button is unclickable. I've also been running IE as an administrator. This is ridiculous. I just click the button to update my DRM and get on with it (I'm not worried about the previously protected songs) what else can I try not to mention that from another computer? I've been troubleshooting for more than 3 hours!

  I had the same frustration. Finally resolved with instructions to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976590.

  I hope this helps.

• MicroSoft update for Media Player shows never like a blocked 'Pop-up-Message' on My Favorites bar?

  I had A Hacker today try to invade my computer through «free of the anti-viral» software download  I couldn't get the window closed so I shut down the computer. I called "The Geek Squad" and they said it was safe to start. "Two hours later, I received a request via my bookmarks bar, (a message had been blocked) that,"microsoft"wanted to update my windows media player.  I have never noticed an update come Microsoft like that then I saw deny access. Is it possible for an upcoming MicroSoft update in this way or how can I check the message without activating any download?  Later, I tried to find a Media Player update on the MicroSoft Web site, but did not find anything, however I'm not sure I was able to navigate as well as necessary to get the answer. Please help me.

  donpatchi,
  For Windows Media Player, it has settings to verify updates of the separate drive of the Windows Update service.  If you open WMP, click Tools > Options > Player tab, you can change the frequency of when checking updates.  Also if you click help there is an option to check for updates.  So if ever you see an update for WMP and you don't know if it is authentic, you can always start the process to search for updates yourself.

  If Windows update is set to automatic, then you should see a notification for these updates come from the notification bar (the area of the taskbar near the clock).  As with WMP, if you ever have a question or a question about an update, you can start Windows Update yourself and watch the updates that are currently available prior to installation.

• Microsoft should update Windows Media Player to play all kinds of videos and upgrade the Windows Photo Viewer to open all types of photos

  Original title: microsoft should spend there windows media player that can play any type of vedio.it will traditionally use media player to download other players instead.

  Microsoft should there be upgraded windows media player that can play any type of vedio.it will traditionally use media player to download other players instead. and also upgrad windows photo viewer to open all types of photos...

  The latest version of Windows Media Player that could open almost any multimedia file was version 6.4. Starting from this version, Microsoft have not been allowed to allow WMP to play almost any type of media file, and they were taken to court top.

  That's why Microsoft does not now permit. Apparently, the decisions of the Court are there to give other media players, including Apple stuff, a foothold in the market. I don't think Microsoft 3rd party codecs use same lawyer in case they have trouble.

• I get a message to update my media player but Norton says is not safe and that it removes.

  This message from Firefox, but if I try to download, Norton takes over and remove it. There is nothing I can say. I am running windows 7. IP is Xfinity.

  Such a popup message is a scam and you should never respond to such reporting to avoid being infected by malware.

  You should only update Firefox via "> about" or by downloading and installing Firefox from Mozilla and server never using a popup or a link on a web page.

• Windows Update don't load/Windows Media Player does not start

  On XP Home Edition SP3, the last week I not was able to get the Windows Update page to load.  There is no error message, IE8 seems to think that the loading of the page and there's code, but a blank white page in IE8. I discovered this problem after finding that Windows Media Player wouldn't start - again without error message.  I look in Task Manager, the wmplayer.exe process runs for a few seconds, then disappears.

  I have run a number of analyses of malware using Avira Free edition (now uninstalled), Spybot S & D, MalwareBytes Antimalware, Windows Defender, and Microsoft Security Essentials with no result or change.

  I reset IE8 to its default settings and now find that I can't choose a search engine or view other pages on the Microsoft support site, such as http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=assistance--il displays only the banner from the top on a white page. (I write this using Chrome).

  Other posts on the forum about the update or Media Player starts does not seem to be on other versions of Windows, and I've not found anything about problems at a time.

  Someone else met this kind of problem?

  Thank you

• 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!

  Hello Ann,.

  Check to see if the following is useful.

  Step 1: Check the version of DirectX that is installed on the computer.

  b. click on help in the menu bar, and then click.

  c. If the menu help is not displayed, press ALT + H and then click on to words.

• Impossible to update of Windows Media Player and Microsoft Security Essentials and the error is "access denied error 80070005."

  Apparently an involuntary change of administrative privileges or permissions (Windows XP Pro, SP3) keeps me updated Media Player version 9 to 11 v. and updated virus Security Essentials definitions.
  For Media Player, wmsetup.log reports access denied error 80070005 and UpdSpAPI.log reports access denied for the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Settings\MP3Encoding\LowRate registry key. In regedt32, I'm blocked from display HKLM\...\MediaPlayer\Settings and below, and "are allowed to view the current permission settings, but... can make a change." Except that I can't. I can enter the change but get «...» Access is denied"trying to apply them. So this is the first problem that I need help.
  But of course it's more than a registry key and the subkeys, because MSE too is affected and will download but not install virus definitions. WindowsUpdate.log reports: failed to install with error 80070643.
  My user account (it's the only one!) is part of the Administrators group and all that I tried to verify administrative permissions is positive. This is a new issue. No virus/malware, according to MSE, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, MalWarebytes Anti-Malware.
