• Windows Media Player takes a long time to open and search

  Slow initialization of WMP 12, research and classification.

  IM under W7 Ultimate 64.
  When I start WMP12 it takes much more time to initialize that WMP11 on vista, 2 minutes before I can even start by selecting music.
  If I do a search it also picks up a similar amount of time and locks (graying out, slider timer). Once I have a bunch of songs loaded on the screen, say a playlist with 200 songs and then click a tab as a note it takes 30 seconds to REList per category during this time it hangs again.
  I have about 40,000 songs in my library. I have rebuilt the library and the database now resides on a second disc which did not make a difference.
       
  (1) what someone else with similar problems and found a solution?
  (2) is it possible to replace it with WMP11 which worked perfectly and was much more intuitive?
  (3) can anyone recommend a replacement player who has gapless playback and fast database access?

  Media player from Windows

  Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...
  do a system restore to a time before this started
  may be your solution.

  Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

• Why Windows Media Player Dump existing MP3s when I add new to SD memory card?

  Why Windows Media Player Dump existing MP3s when I add new to SD memory card?

  Is there a setting I'm missing or something I forgot?

  All that I could find for now is the following. I'll try to get WMP to give me the new option.

  Connect the player to the computer (if you get a menu of Autostart just close it), open WMP and then go to the Sync tab, click on the small arrow below, then down the list to your rocket, a fly out menu will pop to the top and in this menu, you will descend to configure synchronization and will open a window called Device Setup , In the upper left corner, there is a checkbox indicating automatically synchronize this device, make sure it is not checked. If you get a menu when you plug it in, having options that wants to know if you want to allow yourself music, or delete it and make room for new files, make sure you click on the music of leave on my device option. You must be sure of automatic synchronization is disabled and that WMp is not deleting you music so you can add others.

  Today, Windows Media Player has been a bit slower... Why? I do not know.. I scanned for malware, spyware and viruses and there is nothing... I discovered that this isn't my PC, or my windows...

• Why Windows Media Player is not displayed in my list of programs and features?

  When I go into the Panel and then programs and features, Windows Media Player is not in the list. If I click on the Start button, then all programs, his list here. When I click on it, it opens, but it is not any music listed to see if it works. My question is, why it is not listed in the programs and features in Control Panel? Must indicate all items that are installed on my computer, at least I thought. If someone has an idea, I would appreciate a response. Thank you for your time and your help.

  All the built-in programs that are part of the Vista operating system will NOT be displayed in programs and features. To simplify the reason, Windows Media Player 11 is part of the operating system and cannot be uninstalled. So there is not need to be listed in programs and features, whose main goal is to uninstall or repair any installed programs. Another example is Windows Defender.

  For your information:

  In Windows 7, Windows Media Player 12 is also part of the operating system and it cannot be uninstalled and it will not reveal in programs and features either.

• Why Windows Media Player Encoder auxiliary continue to use more memory, almost crashing my computer, and how to fix it?

  Whenever I use the Windows Media Player on my computer, the Windows Media Player Encoder auxiliary uses memory more and more every second I have Windows Media Player, no matter what I use Media Player to open.
  in any case, she continues to use more memory the computer almost to the point of freezing, trolling, and I do not know how to fix it.
  The reason why I know this has to do with the memory usage is that when I open the Task Manager, it usually gets above the point of using 300 000 k memory usage before I can put an end to the task.
  If someone can help me with this problem, or it can know the solution, please let me know. Thank you

• Why Windows Media Player does not have 32 bit Vista Home basic

  Why my Media Player for Vista 32 bit disappear? I had earlier today and now it's gone. Not even appear in the programs.

  Please, open the Start Menu and type wmplayer into the search box. WMP appears in the list?

  If this is not the case, use Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player. WMP starts when you double-click the wmplayer.exe file in this folder?

• Why windows media player displays only the names of original files?

  Windows Media Player only shows the original file names that can be confusing if I changed the name of a file. The name of the file (usually audio files) is correct in Windows Explorer, but in the component list of WMP, it's often the old file name. Why is this and what can I do about it? Advice would be appreciated. TA. Kevin.

  What the file type of these music files (MP3, WMA, WAV...)?

  WMP usually displays the title tags of the music file, which is independent of the file name. However, WMP always displays the current file name in the path column of the file, which can be activated by right clicking on a column header and select choose columns.

• Why windows media player allows me to 'slide' video files to cd/dvd to computer sync?

  I am trying to copy a video disc that I made to my computer, but when I try to sync windows media player does not allow me to drag the files in place for this operation! When I ask your help files that they not give information for the music of copy/extraction of video files! Why are you being *?

  Hi Ronald,.

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  According to the description of the problem, it seems that you can not drag video files from a drive on the Windows Media Player.

  I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions to help you best:

  1. what happens when you try to drag the files?

  2. do you get an error message?

  3 have there been recent changes made on the computer before the show?

  I suggest to copy the files on the desktop and try to drag and check if this may help. The player adds automatically a file that you play from removable media such as a CD or DVD.
