Hello everyone,
I'm french so please forgive my bad English. I work with Vista and my concern is that I can not play videos on my windows media player. When I open a video, there is only music or voice, never the image. I tried K-lite, but to no avail, please help. Thank you for your response.Hello
· What is the file type of the video that you play?
· Are you play DVD files or files stored?
Method 1: I suggest that you update the video card driver and check if that helps:
Method 2: You can also try to reduce the hardware acceleration and check if it makes a difference:
a. choose Start > Control Panel.
b. double-click personalization and select display settings.
c. click on advanced settings.
d. click on change settings on the Troubleshooting tab.
e. move hardware acceleration to none.
f. click on apply and then click OK to accept the new setting and close the dialog box.
g. click OK to close the display properties dialog box.
h. restart Windows.
Method 3: I suggest to Uninstall any third-party codec installed on the computer and then check if it helps:

I recommend one of the K-Lite codec packages available here to download and install. The regular package should be enough, but you can opt for the full package.
Once you have downloaded the package on your computer, you can right-click on the installation. EXE andrun as administrator to avoid any problems with the installation.

Cannot create a video playlist in Windows Media Player 12
After deleting and restructuring of my collection of videos, I can no longer create playlists in WMP12. I ran the store, uninstalled and reinstalled WMP and always get the same error message: ' WMP encountered a problem during the creation or saving of playlist. Please ELP.
Hi Colon,
Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forum.
From your problem description, I understand that you are not able to create video playlist in Windows Media Player 12.
Also, this problem occurs because the Windows Media Player library database is corrupted.
Step 1:
To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
a. exit Windows Media Player.
b. Click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.
c. Select all files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
d. restart Windows Media Player.
Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
Step 2:
If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:
a. exit Windows Media Player.
b. Click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.
c. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
d. restart Windows Media Player.
Please follow all the steps and if the problem persists, return back and we will be happy to help you.
