Window Media Player.exe using 100% of CPU and memory
I have a Pavilion dv4-2145-dx Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, 4 GB of memory. Windows Media Player.exe supports my CPU 100% usage and it is striking all my memory - 4 GB. It started right after I set up a homegroup.
I had to go into Admin/service and change the Startup Type to disabled for:
- Windows Media Center Receiver Service
- The window media services planning service
- Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service
I tried setting services to manual, but Windows Media Player has yet caught all the CPU and memory, he could then I disabled all the.
I do not know how to disable homegroup and Windows Media Player services work together so I wonder if everything is always operate has designed with the homegroup and sharing my music.
Hello
I think this explains the problem. The 2 entries here should be deleted, because the first will try to index all of your user profile and the second will attempt to index all of the Windows Partition.
C:\Users\Rick
C:\
To remove them, click to the left of the entrance, highlight it, and then click Remove. When these two entries have been removed, reboot the laptop and you should find that the problem has been resolved.
Kind regards

Windows media player will show it's extraction and burning, but then the burned cd does not play? Used to work properly, then a few days ago decided not to make a playable copy.
Your setting got changed if you don't burn it as audio. This is the setting you need to change...
Click the dropdown arrow in the "burn" pane and select "audio disc" and you should be ok again. R
(You will need to start over with a fresh blank disc).

How can I reset the Player Windows Media in Windows Vista Home Basic to use the songs on my external backup drive instead of (or in addition to) the songs on my desktop hard drive? Currently, the Media Player library indicates that the hard drive (C:\) is my only option of disks to use for sources of songs.
Basically, I want to have Media Player external drive for all the songs from research and build his library on this disc instead of on the C:\ drive.My problem is that the songs are hogging too much space on my hard drive, so I want to move to my external drive to backup instead, but Media Player will not access it. I saw an option in Media Player to add a song to a different drive to the library whenever I play a song of this player, but that would require me to play all the songs moved one at a time, which is not practical, and which would not solve my problem because Media Player could still be maintaining the library on my HDD to say.Any ideas?Thank you.Hello

- Windows Media Player 10 has opened a photo successfully dvd but a message "Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close" came on the screen several times. Had to re insert the dvd picture, but it would open again each time.
- Tried the cd drivers and troubleshooting dvd and was informed of my dvd could not be played because there was no decoder for dvd. Following instructions and chose a windows xp approved decoder pack download - dvd has chosen the Roxio CinePlayer DVD Decoder Pack.
- Then upgraded the media player to Windows Media Player 11.
- After that, dvd and cd rom could be opened by the media player 11, but neither the DVD or cd ROM readers would recognize the photo DVD in question had been inserted into one of these discs, and even less to be opened by the media player.
- Program scanner and photo used to transfer my photos printed digitally on a dvd are trademarks of Hewlett-Packard. Contact the center of the photo, but they could not provide me with any guidance or even particular HP photo program they used to create the dvd picture. I remember the photos were stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11.
"" I remember well, the pictures are stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11 ""
Looks like you have a data dvd, which has just the pictures on it and it will not be seen by WMP, who needs a dvd-video disc.
It should always open in windows Explorer and you should be able to see your pictues it.

I already asked this question and someone responsed quickly by asking for more information. I answered that he asked but get no response for several days, so I think that a new question may get more attention. Here is my question and my further response, pls help again.
Question:
When I open an rtsp: / / * stream, it can be opened, after no more than a minute, the flow has stopped, status displays 'Attempt to reconnect', after a while, text dialog box, said something like "cannot perform the action", and then disconnects the flow. I can click the "play" button to connect successfully, and then the same thing above occurs, once and once again.
My response inline:
· The streaming works fine outside Windows Media Player?
I don't have another player who can play rtsp install
· Which antivirus program is installed on the computer?
Symantec Norton, the issue occur also when I turn off Norton.
· If it works much earlier?
No, never
Method 1: Temporarily disable the antivirus on the computer program and check if it helps. If it works, you may need to check the settings of the program.
This did not help, problem that happened to be the same
Method 2: Check if the following is useful. (disable UDP)
This did not help also. I tried method1 + methode2, it does not work too.

Windows Media Player is lagging during the game and songs to jump.
Just today, my Windows Media Player started acting odd. When I play a song, it will appear to freeze, but after 5 seconds or so, it starts to play. It's the same thing when to jump tracks. She also takes about 5-10 seconds to stop playback when I hit the break. When it does not freeze, he says 'Changing Media' in the lower left corner. This problem does not occur when I use a reading list, it is quite normal, it doesn't seem to be a problem when reading my library. I don't have any problems with other media players, such as iTunes or VLC player.
I've been looking for a solution online and most of the people with a very similar problem to mine fixed by disabling audio enhancements, but this has not worked for me. This problem has just appeared from nowhere. The only recent change to my computer is a new keyboard, a Logitech G15. I've hung yesterday evening and was listening to music without any problem. But when I turned on my computer today, I was greeted with this problem. I plugged my old keyboard, thinking that he could be the problem, but still no solution.I'm out of ideas. Any idea of what the solution may be? If this can help, my computer running an AMD Phenom II X processor 4 955 with 8 GB of RAM and my sound is crossing a Radeon 6850 through HDMI on my monitor.Thanks for any help.[EDIT]I just noticed that Windows Media Player stops is when I close. The window closes, but I can always see it used in the process, and I have to close it it so that it can turn off completely. Do not know what is causing that.Nevermind, I finally thought to it. The software for the keyboard activated something called "windows media player gadget for windows sideshow. This seems to be causing the lag. I went to the Windows Sideshow and disabled options program for my keyboard.
