When you start Windows Media Player I get error: "Server execution failed".

Hello

When I try to start Windows Media Player by double-clicking an audio or video file, I get the error "Server execution failed" for this file. Can someone tell me what this means and what I can do about it?

Thank you

Christi

Hi Christi,

You may receive this error if you try to open a file media shortly after the closing of Windows Media Player (WMP).  When you close WMP, the user interface is closed immediately, but WMP continues to be in a State of "shutting down" for a few seconds, and the process is still in activity during this period.

To avoid this problem it should be enough to wait a few seconds before Windows Media Player opens, 2 seconds at least.

    Hello

    Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you try these methods and check the status of the issue.

    Method 1:

    Keep the computer in a clean boot and check the status of the issue. If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem. Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service. After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    I run Windows XP.and my PC shows 0xC00D1199 and wmpkc.exe at different times or places. Are these interdependent? This happens when I want to launch Windows Media Player.

    Hello

    -Did you change your computer, after which the question began?

    0xC00D1199: cannot play the file

    Windows Media Player cannot play the file because:

    1) you try to play a file that is NOT supported by the player.

    2) you try to play a file that the player does not support, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is NOT supported by the player.

    3) the file type is supported, but you try to play in a way that is not supported by the player. For example, you may have attempted to drag a DVD file with a .vob to DVD to Windows Media Player icon.

    I would recommend look you at this article and check if you play the file meets the criteria.

    any Suggestions?

    Relevant convenience stores are available to-control panel, troubleshooting services, see everything [on the left], settings of WMP.  If you are online when you open it then it will be updated to the latest version of the troubleshooter before his execution [or you can go directly to the online http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Media-Player-Settings-troubleshooterversion].

    - - - - - - -

    Unless you run a K, N or KN Windows version [see Panel, System], then there is no download WMP.

    Regular updates of Windows include all updates for WMP [for example, the included updated Dec KB2847077 and that was a WMP update].  Ce KB is supposed to be a specific patch for WMP freezing, but some other recent messages indicate it fixed other issues while at least another post said that he created problems [problem WMP] and had to be uninstalled.

    If you get completely fed up trying to fix WMP, then you can try these two steps [they are the closest thing possible to uninstall then reinstall WMP & will actually provide a new installation of WMP]

    14.1 discharge WMP - Panel, programs and features, Windows features turn on [left] on or off, multimedia functions, clear box Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

    14.2 recharge WMP - control panel, programs and features, [left] turn features on or off, Windows multimedia functions, set the Player Windows Media box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

It is on a 5 year old XP PC, and I haven't added new software or hardware lately.  I can play the same files on the same PC with other readers multimedia (VLC Media Player or Quicktime) and I don't have this problem, and it's okay if I use headphones or speakers. I tried to uninstall WMP11, but WMP10 has the same problem, and when her reinstalled WMP11 still sounds bad. I have also reinstalled the codecs windows audio. Any ideas?

    Could you help me please?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I know this problem, it s just a bug with media player and the graphics drivers (mainly the media player causes the error it s). Please, if you want to watch something on TV and then playback must be STOPPED BEFORE you from the screen. Once you have changed the screen, enable playback and it should work.

    Otherwise, go on www.videolan.org website, download the latest version of VLC Player and do it with him, it should work for sure. I never start playback of a movie or something when the screen not changed front on television that the screen alone.
