• Why not Windows Media Player 11 does not recognize w4a files in the library list more.

  I have Windows XP Pro (SP3) with Windows Media Player 11. I had a virus wipe my hard drive (everything has been updated) and after reinstalling and updating everything, it no longer recognizes the w4a files, but it automatically plays them the OMP 11 if I click on the file in Windows Explorer.

  Before the accident, all the files on my computer w4a was included in the library. Now the entire albums, as well as individual songs are missing. In fact, now NO w4a file is listed. So my question is, why does Windows Media Player 11 recognize the w4a files?

  Hello

  Method 1: I suggest you try the steps from the link below and check if it helps.

  a. close Windows Media Player.
  b. find the file of database on the computer that contains the entries of your library. In general, the library database file (CurrentDatabase_219.wmdb) is located in the following directory:
  (Drive :) Users/xxx(the user name)/Appdata/local/Microsoft/Media Player
  c. right click on the file and then click Rename.
  d. rename the file by changing its file .bak extension.
  e. start the player. When you do so, a new database of library file is created.
  f. press F3 on your keyboard to open the add to Library dialog box search for computers.
  g. click the Browse button to search for a folder on your computer that contains digital media files. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.
  h. click on the search button.
  The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder you specify and add to your library. If you have your files and playlists stored in different folders on your computer, you may need to search for files several times, by specifying a different folder every time.

  Method 2:
  You may need to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player.
  Here's how:
  To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
  a. exit Windows Media Player.
  b. Click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.
  c. Select all files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
     Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
  d. restart Windows Media Player.
  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

• Problems with error Windows Media Player, that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

  We have a computer that is running Windows 7 and (I think) Windows Media Player 12.  When I start ==> all programs ==> windows media player, the program starts and it seems to work.  It is a work computer, so no video or audio file is saved.

  We have an online seminar that the user wants to participate in, and when we click on the link to get the webinar, an error message appears saying that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

  We use Firefox (version reasonably updated, but do not know which) for internet.

  I used the "fix it" tool on the website of Microsoft, but that does not solve anything.  He said it sets some configuration settings.  I thought that maybe uninstall and reinstall it can work, but I can't understand completely uninstall because it isn't in my list of programs in the control panel.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks for any ideas you may have.

  Nolan

  (Moved to programs)

  Uninstall and reinstall could be done by searching for and opening the option "turn on or off Windows features", but I don't think it will help.

  Instead, what you need is a Windows Media Player plugin for your browser (Firefox).

  But before you spend effort on it, I would test to see if it's really the solution.  Try to join your webinar with Internet Explorer (where the WMP plugin is built).  If it works, you can be reasonably sure to know how to make it work with Firefox.

• Why should I Resize Windows Media Player, whenever I open it?

  Why should I Resize Windows Media Player, whenever I open it?

  First of all, I apologize because clearly, nobody else here knows what you're feeling :)

  The problem is in fact a function: If you open a file (such as a video) directly, WMP opens directly to the ' Now Playing ' screen to display the video (the video can not be displayed in library mode where it lists all the files).  It is locked, you cannot change this behavior (because I'm sure you would agree, everyone would complain if they could not see a video playing every time they played, of course!)

  But what you can do, there's WMP to always be the size you want!

  (1) play a video in WMP.
  (2) while the video plays, click anywhere in the video and uncheck the option 'Fit Player to video'.

  WMP will attempt is no longer to adjust its size whenever a video is played.
