When I try and play a video or a dvd from my computer crashes.

OT: Media Player-related problems.

When I try and play a video or dvd my computer crashes and I have to close, a blue box appears in the upper right corner, saying: I have new applications that can open this type of file, but not how to use them or what they are called or where to find them.

I down loaded VLC media player but it also refuses to play video clips and DVD and locks the computer as well.

I don't know much about computers just how to use it for what I need, any help will be appreciated.

Because it was not mentioned, which was the source Image formats with what you are / have been working?

If VLC can't play the file, it can be owner or damaged. In addition, VLC should have no problem with a standard DVD playback.

You can always try to convert it.

Freemake Video Converter is one of the most recommended video converters to help users to convert their SOURCE of videos in WMV. Freemake Video Converter is extremely easy to use, but there are a few ' opt-out ' the software provided with the installer that makes the user nervous. I created a post to illustrate the process of downloading the application, installation step by step, explaining what options are optional. I have also provided some screenshots on just how it is easy to convert your videos into WMV.

  • When I try to play a video I have a video with no sound

    original title: Windows Vista/windows media player/videonosound

    my windows media player will play a dvd with the sound when I try to play a video that I have a video with no sound. I tried to upload an ogg codec so I can get a little sound of my video.

    Help please.

    Angie line Graham

    Although Microsoft does not provide a feedback about which codecs you need, you'll probably want to install a free app called MediaInfo that will analyze the file you are trying to play and to determine what exact codec you need to play the file. I walk through the process of fix codec errors in this tutorial on MediaInfo.

    If it's an OGG file as you indicate, the best thing to do is to play any other application, but Windows Media Player, new support for the codec for OGG in WMP is ugly, but I would check double what you need first.

    I get a COOD11B error code when I try to play a video clip.

    Hi Pat dubois,

    1. what type of video file that you are trying to play?

    If you receive error C00D11B1 code,

    Cause one. It may be a problem with the components of security of your digital media player to play the files on your computer

    Follow the instructions in the article given below, because it can help you solve the problem

    Windows Media Player C00D11B1: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/C00D11B1

    Go to http://drmlicense.One.Microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp , then you will need to get the update. You need to download this patch to remove the error code and everything works again.

    Also take ownership of the files you are trying to play by right clicking on the file and taking possession.

    B cause. If you are probably trying to play a file that uses a codec that is not on your computer. I suggest you to download and install the latest pack of codecs for Windows Media Player 12 on your computer. Search using your search engine preferred for the third-party codec packs.

    Hi Mike,.

    This could be a problem with Internet streaming on BBC iplayer or BBC radio.

    I would like to gather some details related to the query:

    (1) is this problem specific to the reader of the BBC or BBC radio? Are you having the same problem watching videos online or listen to music online on the computer?

    (3) how you try to use the iplayer? It uses the browser? If so, what is the Internet browser?

    If this problem is specific to the BBC radio or iplayer, you can post the query on the forum from the BBC to help:

  • Satellite A200-10Z (PSAE0E) - blue screen when I try to play the video

    Hey Geeks,

    I have a serious problem; I use my laptop for the last 3 years with no problems, but since yesterday, it the BSOD every time you try to play flash videos or youtube. I tried to update the version of adobe flash after unstalling the existing drive flash but when even the reason persisted. Finally, I reinstalled the 32-bit version of Windows Vista from the recovery of the product back up drive after I lost all my data, guess what the problem has not disappeared. I can't play youtube videos?

    I think it's maybe a problem with the BIOS update, this could be a corrupt problem display driver or should I think that there is a hardware problem as such. Is the existing graphics card Mobile Intel (r) Express Chipset family 945GM. I tried to update the BIOS from the Toshiba support site, but there is no available for Satellite A200-10Z update. So point is should I try to reinstall the operating system once more, or should I be given the laptop to a service center to check any malfunction of the equipment.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Buddy,

    Generally speaking, it is not easy to say why this happens, but if you have already tried a restore of the Toshiba Recovery disk system and the problem still exists, it looks like more of a hardware malfunction. The recovery disk contains a pre-tested picture to factory settings, so everything should work correctly in the case otherwise it seems to be a hardware problem.

    But he s strange why this happens only with videos. What you might try before contacting an authorized service provider is updated the display driver. Have a look at the Toshiba website, if a newer version is available for your laptop.

    Good luck! :)

    Hello

    To help you, we will need files DMP to analyze what exactly happened at the time of the accident, etc.

    If you don't know where the DMP files, here's how to get to them:
    1. go to the Windows\Minidump folder.
    2 copy all the DMP files in the Minidump folder on your desktop and zip then those files.
    3 download the zip containing the files DMP to Skydrive or a Web hosting of your choice and paste in your answer.

    If you plan to use Skydrive, but do not know how to download it, please see the following:
    http://www.WikiHow.com/use-SkyDrive

    Please note that all "cleaner" such as TuneUp Utilities, CCleaner, etc., default will remove files DMP when using because of their place too.

    If your computer doesn't generate DMP files, follow these steps:

    1. start > type systemroot which should show the Windows folder, click it. Once inside this folder, make sure there is a Minidump folder created. If not, CTRL-SHIFT-N to create a new folder and name it Minidump.

    2. Windows key + key Pause. This should appear in the system. Click Advanced on the left system settings > advanced > performance > settings > advanced > make sure there is a check mark for "manage automatically the size of pagefile for all readers."

    3. Windows key + key Pause. This should appear in the system. Click Advanced on the left system settings > advanced > startup and Recovery > settings > failure > ensure there is a check mark next to "Write an event to the system log" > make sure that "automatically reboot" is unchecked.

    Ensure that the partial memory image is turned on and make sure the path is % SystemRoot%\Minidump.

    4. check that the viewers is ENABLED:

    Start > Search > type services.msc > on the name tab, search for Windows Error Reporting Service > if the service status is not started, then right-click and select start. Also to ensure that, under Startup Type set to automatic rather than manual. You can do this by right click, select properties and under general selection on 'Automatic' startup type and then click on apply.

    If you can not get into normal mode to do this, please do so via Safe Mode.

    Kind regards

    animation for speedtest occupies about 3 images - about 4-6 seconds apart, as with youtube, he puts in buffer 2 seconds - then firefox hangs for about 12 seconds - when he comes back he is fully buffered

    has raised this issue since I got new Internet (download 76mbit) and it is not my rig like youtube and speedtest.net run perfectly smooth in chrome (but I don't like chrome or the google customer support)

    I already tried enabling/disabling of hardware acceleration and tried a bit of tinkering - anything else that you can suggest? (propose any adjustments-i'll try anything)

    Thank you for your time

    You can check the problems caused by the recent updates of Flash and try these:

    • disable an eventual extension of the browser for Firefox Plugin RealPlayer Record and if installed RealPlayer update
    • disable the safe_mode in Flash 11.3 and later versions
    • turn off hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
