When a click on windows media player, nothing happens

It says "done" in the lower left corner but nothing happens

Hello

Are you clicking on WMP shortcut icon or a file type to start WMP?

"Done" at the bottom left is probably Internet Explorer and not Windows Media Player.

C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe

Use start computer or Windows Explorer to access this file and double-click it.

Who starts WMP?

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

If necessary:

Have you recently installed another player?

Right-click on taskbar - Task Manager - processes and see if WMPlayer.exe is already hidden.
If the end then on her process.

Can you think of recent things you did in WMP which could be the cause? You added another

    Hi james_pl1973,
     
    -Is this type of specific file to some issue or is it the same with all types of files?
    -You get an error message or error code trying to watch the video for files?

    It is likely that the codec is correct / encoder is not installed or is installed but has been corrupted by another program.

    A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

    A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

    For example, when you rip a song from an audio CD on your computer, the player uses Windows Media Audio default codec to compress the song into a compact WMA file. When you play that WMA file (or any WMA file that may be broadcast from a Web site), the player uses the Windows Media Audio codec to decompress the file for music can be played through your speakers.

    Follow the steps listed in the article given below to resolve this issue.

    You receive a codec error message or play audio but video does not play when you play media files in Windows Media Player 11

  • COPY has stopped working in right click in Windows media player 11

    Hello. I am trying to copy album art from another album to the other manually, but whenever I click right in WMP11 now COPY stopped appearing suddenly, so I can't copy album art more.

    I wanted to copy the album on the web as art.

    Help, please.

    Kind regards

    Richard Steed

    As far as I know, WMP has never had a command 'copy art' - are you sure that you don't mean covers of pulp album instead?

    To manually change the album art, you must copy from other applications (e.g. your browser) and then use the Pouches of dough Album in WMP. For more information, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-xp/help/windows-media-player/11/album-art .

  • Video distortion when playing DVDs on Windows Media Player 12

    I have indserted a Comercial de DVD in my DVD player to play a movie on Windows Media Player 12.  When the video came out, it was thousands of multi-colored square blocks.  I tried receting on WMP options, in the case where I changed a setting trying to do something.  I checked in WMC as well and it does the same thing.  I checked several discs defferent.  I checked the updates.  I even ran several viruses, spyware and Root kit scanning with luck now.  I scanned my registry to find errors.  I'm out of ideas.  Can someone help me please?

    I discovered that a major alteration in the partition of OEM software was interfearing with the functioning of Windows 7.  So I reinstalled windows 7 delete all partitions on the disk.  This not only corrected this problem, but 98% of the other problems I had with Windows 7 and its components.  Although the internal DVD player has partially failed and did not read something more then a bootable disc (which I am happy that it works always in that my external DVD writer is not recognized as a drive bootable BACK), my external drive is now able to read everything properly in Windows 7 and I can now use any program including WMP to play all DVD discs or any other disc I need to read.
