• Cannot download plug in for windows media player. Have used the site to download and it says it worked, but the plug-in does not appear on my list of plug-ins.

  I tried to hear an appeal of a Web conference. Received a message, necessary plug windows media. Check my plug ins, no windows media. Reading about firefox support tutorial. Clicked on download. Had a window that requires repair or change. Tried to fix it and then change. Need better guidance on how to finish download. Download the message passed, but after firefox closing and re-opening, no still no plug-in for windows media in the list of plug-ins. Go to site and could not hear Conference.
  Reading support forum. Message while using about: config. Tried, typed in on: config in Start menu, but do not see anything that looked like I could change for real like message said.
  solved by opening internet explore and go to the website and listen to the conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying: If you want to enable media player click here. Not so heard Conference.
  Tried using chrome. You have to listen to the Conference yesterday. Today, he had the same message you need to plug in when I tried to follow the instructions in connect, it was just as confusing and useless like firefox. Most is that I tried to make any statement in the suggestions forum for firefox and can not get the windown media connect to appear in my list of plug-ins and can not hear calls for conference on firefox.
  Chrome said that they worked on connect available to the chrome store.
  I agree with the comments that I was able to go to web sites and to hear the calls before firefox did an update that removed my windows media plug. The fix simple download, two from windows, does not, apparently because firefox cannot find the fix. This isn't for lack of user, and it seems that windows attempted to provide a fix, and firefox does not recognize.
  Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, that trying to get windows connect multimedia player installed on firefox. What is a browser, if you can not hear an appeal on the Web site the browser will take you to? Please make it easy install windows media branch on firefox. Thank you..

  If you get the screen to change/repair, it means that the Setup program has detected that you have already installed the plugin.

  Do you not see the file here:

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins
  

  Its file name is: np - mswmp.dll

  If the file is missing, I suggest to delete and then reinstall the plugin.

  Edit: By removing and then reinstalling I mean using the delete button under the modification and repair buttons in the Setup program, and then run Setup to reinstall.

• I DESPISE WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER

  I love the clip +.  It does almost everything I want.  Windows Media Player gives to kill myself.  This is the most frustrating, ridiculous program.  In my library, I check the columns I want to see, but they never appear.  I can't delete playlists that are somehow mysteriously appeared on my external sd card synchronization window.  I can't sort by disc #.  The interface is heavy and is not intuitive.  I feel like a fool when I use it.  I feel like the one who wrote the program is a donkey.  According to me, the one who wrote it probably is not even use and use iTunes instead.  If I could, I would * beep * ing use iTunes in the blink of an eye.  If you can't tell I'm a little frustrated.  Basically, I think the writer of Windows Media Player should be waterboarded drawn, cut into four, and what they did to William Wallace at the end of Braveheart, just slower.  This from a person who does not believe in torture.

  Please take some time to read the rules and guidelines and will keep the language clean.

  You know, you don't have to use the view are alternatives, like MediaMonkey, WinAmp, and J. River Media Jukebox... or if you can use any program at all. Why you don't want to use iTunes is way beyond me.

• Can I watch 2 different videos for comparison using Windows Media Player?

  Original title: Media Player HELPPPPPPPP

  I want to be able to open 2 different videos for comparison, but a set of controls allow you to control the two videos, in order to be started and stopped at the same time. Is this possible with Media player?, if not anyone knows of any media program that will allow me to do.

  Windows Media Player does not allow several instances but
  an earlier version called... Media Player 6.4 Classc will allow
  you need to open as many instances as you want.

  Media Player Classic
  http://www.filehippo.com/download_media_player_classic/
  (name of the file to download is: mplayerc_20070918.zip)

  No installation is necessary... just open the compressed folder and
  Drag mplayerc.exe out of the folder and drop it on your desktop.

  Just left click the .exe to launch as many instances as you
  here and then drag and drop your video files on the screens.

• How can I reset Windows Media Player to use songs on my external backup drive instead or in addition to the songs on my desktop with Windows Vista Edition basic hard drive family?

  How can I reset the Player Windows Media in Windows Vista Home Basic to use the songs on my external backup drive instead of (or in addition to) the songs on my desktop hard drive?  Currently, the Media Player library indicates that the hard drive (C:\) is my only option of disks to use for sources of songs.

  Basically, I want to have Media Player external drive for all the songs from research and build his library on this disc instead of on the C:\ drive.
  My problem is that the songs are hogging too much space on my hard drive, so I want to move to my external drive to backup instead, but Media Player will not access it.  I saw an option in Media Player to add a song to a different drive to the library whenever I play a song of this player, but that would require me to play all the songs moved one at a time, which is not practical, and which would not solve my problem because Media Player could still be maintaining the library on my HDD to say.
  Any ideas?
  Thank you.

• Media Player, do not tear CD 2 correct

  Hello - I am new to Media Player using iTunes for many years. Due to ongoing problems I'm having with iTunes, I want to use Media Player instead.

  This is my first problem: I bought a 2-cd set and ripped off the first cd very well. When I put the 2nd cd in, all the data of the first cd appears (titles of songs etc.). The 2nd cd rips, but the titles of the songs are from the 1st cd.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

• Add the network location in Windows Media Center for recorded TV

  Locations of tv settings, tv, recorder, more Windows Media Center does not outside of the local computer.  I used Media Center to record some TV shows and I want to spend my laptop on USB large network of an old desk for viewing later.   Because I can't point to this place I'm stuck.
  The files are on USB key and visible in windows media player and video location in Windows Media Center.  In other words, none of the news of the series is visible in Windows Media Center (but is in windows media player), so I can't continue to record series because Windows Media Center is not aware of the episodes already on USB network.

  Hello Johngi2,
  Thank you for your message.  To change the location of your recorded TV shows and always keep the info so that you won't get duplicates please browse to the following location in Media Center.
  Settings > TV > TV recordings > TV storage > storage location
  You just change the location of storage on your USB.  Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
  See you soon
