I get a message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem" when I browse me videos.
When I browse my library of videos in Windows Media Player 11 on Windows XP SP3, I got a message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close." The message does not appear immediately, but after about 5 seconds browsing my library of videos. The details of the error are:
AppName: wmplayer.exe AppVer: ModName 11.0.5721.5145: deinterlace.ax
ModVer: 1.0.1.0 Offset: 00001cbaAny help would be greatly appreciated.
Someone just tell me how to solve the problem. Apparently, some corrupt videos caused Windows Media Player to plant as soon as thumbnails of the videos have been read. I quickly changed to a non-thumbnail view, so the error would not appear (it appears only when you try to load the photos), then deleted corrupted videos. Thanks for the help, if.

in the application appropriate - so if the audio or video content can use WMP.Compress and uncompress files (zip files)

When I run WMP window opens immediately, but it takes nearly 12 minutes to complete commissioning. During most of this time, the CPU usage is 0%. All applications starts almost instantly and WMP works fine, once it finally started upward. The program itself is stored on a conventional disc SSD, while the music files on a hard drive and they total 871 mb. My system is a processor i5 with 8 GB of RAM, running Windows 7, 64 bit.
Why do you think it takes so long to start?Hi SimonRichards,
· Did you the latest changes on the computer?

1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
3. Select all the 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.
4. restart Windows Media Player.
Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
Method 2.
If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.
3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
4. restart Windows Media Player.
Method 3.
I also suggest you to re-record the files related to Windows Media Player.
To do this, follow the steps below:
a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.
b. at the prompt type regsvr32 wmp.dll command and then press ENTER.

Why my Windows media player XP unable to play photo high megapixels (2 to 3 megapixels)
Hey microsoft,.
I have do deal with XP Windows media player can play the photo high megapixels (2 to 3 megapixels). But when you use Windows media player from Vista can play.
Darren,
a couple of things quickly...
first of all, make sure that the extended monitor is configured under the resolutions of your monitor and screen. Seems that the resolution is not set correctly.
Second, you can do a BING search on the type of program photo/slide show that you want to use. There are many free third-party software out there. Just be careful where get you it.

Why my windows media player 11 has deleted all albums?
Open media player has chosen an album hit game and each album deleted
The Windows Media Player library does not contain the files themselves, only shortcuts to the. If you remove the actual file, it will get removed from the library.
About your mp3 player, if you have it set to sync automatically, and the files are no longer on your computer, they will be removed by the player.
