  If 64-bit - can run WMP in 32 or 64 bit mode.

  Or try these: download - SAVE - go to the place where your put them RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN.

  For 32-bit use these - OR the 32 bit ones listed above which I prefer.

  K - Lite Codec Pack 8.1.7. (or newer)
  http://www.codecguide.com/

  Use them for 64-bit:

  K - Lite Codec Pack 5.6.0 (64-bit) (or newer)
  http://www.codecguide.com/

  -------------------------------------------------------------

  You know that you use WMP 32 or 64

  Change, modify or value 64-bit Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11) in Windows Vista x 64 as default (or WMP12 - Windows7)

If the problem persists, clean the disc with a damp cloth or a commercial CD or DVD cleaning solution. Dry the disc thoroughly until you insert the disc in the drive.

  Select a slower recording speed and check if that helps.

  1. in the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the devices tab.

• The song after that I erase it, reappears in Windows Media Player?

  Here's my problem, when I delete a song in Windows media player, it immediately reappears in WMP. I have my file location indicated in one of the column and it shows in the recycling bin, the problem is that I have to delete it again to make it permanently removed and is very annoying to have delete twice. I have a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit machine. I tried to uninstall and re - install WMP, and that did nothing.

  Thank you

  Well I thought about it, I have all my music on an external hard drive, if you open the Recycle Bin, click organize on the tab, in the upper part and then click on properties, this opens properties recycling bin. All devices of storage on my computer are displayed. I chose my external HD and they chose the "do not move files to the recycling bin. Remove files immediately when they are deleted. "Now when I delete songs from WMP, I have to delete them once.

  I hope this helps others!

• Why can't I play the games on Yahoo Games? Game will not come to the top.

  Whenever I try to play a game like dominoes or canasta on Yahoo games, I go so far as to choose a group to play then the connection never ends.  I went through all the steps in the help of Yahoo, with no improvement.  I uninstalled and reinstalled flash player and it did not help.  I have connected to my system of work from my home machine, and I'm able to go right into.  I can go in my former office on Vista with no problems.  Both of my computers are Wi - Fi, but my office is at the same time.

  Hi EdieKnight,

  ·         What happen when you try to play the games?

• I accidentally deleted the preinstalled dvd decoder that came with my computer/windows media player. Can I get that back without buying it for a price?

  I accidentally deleted all the time and downloaded a free player to replace temporarily called VLC Media Player. Dvd decoder (codec, I think his name...) I don't know, I'm not a computer wiz) has been called something like "Windvd".

  System Restore does not all documents.  This will not affect things like the IE Favorites, unless it brings changes to IE itself.

  You can always reverse a system restore if you want after the fact.
