• When you start Windows Media Player I get error: "Server execution failed".

  Hello

  When I try to start Windows Media Player by double-clicking an audio or video file, I get the error "Server execution failed" for this file. Can someone tell me what this means and what I can do about it?

  Thank you

  Christi

  Hi Christi,

  You may receive this error if you try to open a file media shortly after the closing of Windows Media Player (WMP).  When you close WMP, the user interface is closed immediately, but WMP continues to be in a State of "shutting down" for a few seconds, and the process is still in activity during this period.

  To avoid this problem it should be enough to wait a few seconds before Windows Media Player opens, 2 seconds at least.

  You do not have a format to get rid of your data.

  You do a format when you want to do a clean install of the operating system.

  As you all saved, I suggest that you continue on the new facility, then copy your data back.

• "Server execution failed" in Windows Media Player

  original title: the execution of the server failed

  Often, when I play an audio file in Media Player, my computer loads for a few seconds and then gives the error "Server execution failed". I tried everything in this topic: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-sound/windows-7-media-player-server-execution-failed/ecc08c3b-d445-48c2-b07d-9df48500434f, but it does not solve my problem. I got the errors of memory before, but I fixed those.

  The suggestion worked for you? Try 5 second delay.

  Sometimes an audio file has a period of closure in fade or even silence or a low level at the end. If you click on to read another file before the file is actually finished playing, you get a server running has no reviews.

  It would be more elegant if the application produces a message of type "has a moment, please" and then fix the new request, but...

• Problem with Windows Media Player: "Server execution failed" and "files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

  I have a problem with Windows Media Player on laptop Lenovo G780. My laptop is under warranty (bought a month ago), but technical support Lenovo told me that the Windows Media Player program is not covered by the warranty.

  And this is a problem:

  When I click on Windows Media Player - to about 0.1 sec I see it opens and closes the window and nothing happens.

  When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the option open with Windows Media Player - I get a message: "Server execution failed" - I checked that all services with 'Media' in the name are running.

  When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the open option with Windows Media Center - Windows Media Center opens with the message: "the files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

  When I select a file mp3 or wmv and right-click with option open with Windows Movie Maker life - see the video

  I tried to turn / WMP and WMC - did not help
  Tried to run as administrator - did not help
  I don't see something suspicious under events

  What can I do else?

  Thank you

  I had the same problem and then by chance, I tried a video on YouTube and it worked for me. Here's how I went on this issue and solved my problem:

  1. go to the computer, then OS (C).
  2. you will need to open Program Files (x 86) and Program Files.
  3. go to Windows Media Player in Program Files (x 86) and open the folder.  Then, remove the wmplayer file.  You may need to work around the error TrustedInstaller.  I'll tell you that, in a moment.
  4. in Program Files, go to the same folder for Windows Media Player and select the same file again. Wmplayer.  Copy the file in another window open.  Copy ensures that if the question comes up again you can at least try to fix it again.
  This should be the end of your problem.  If you need to circumvent the TrustedInstaller question is how:
  1. right click on wmplayer and select Properties > Security > advanced > owner > Edit > other users and groups.
  2. Enter your username and then click on check names.  Click OK.
  3. close the dialog boxes as he has requested.
  4. open again the properties and click Security.  Select your username from the list and click on edit.  From there, select full control.
  This should give you full control over the removal of the original file for WMP and easily allow you to copy the other files (x 86) programs.
  Please let me know how it goes for your problem.

  has. click on Start > type run > click run > Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Playerand then click OK.
  b. 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.
  
  c. restart Windows Media Player.
  
  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
   
  Method 2: If the problem persists, delete the Windows Media Player database cache files

• All of a sudden my pictures folders are now all show in Windows Media Player and I can't open each photo in full screen, but only in the video display mode.

  All of a sudden my pictures folders are now all show in Windows Media Player and I can't open each photo in full screen, but only in the video display mode.   When I go to my pictures and choose view as thumbnails, that's fine, but when I click on the individual photo, it shows on the screen no video not in mode full screen and I can't move the photo to the photo without closing the video screen.  How can I get my pictures on Windows Media Player?

  This problem has now been resolved.  I went in my computer > tools > Folder Options > file Type, select the type of file and clicked on advanced then > change and changed back to Windows Picture and Fax Viewer in Windows Media Player.  I had the idea of a response posted on this forum about a different issue, but who pointed me in the right direction.

• Windows Media Player 11 Rip - Vista Home Premium error

  I have the same problems others have with my Media Player.  This problem started not until I installed updates to windows.  I have updated to service pack 2 and Internet Explorer 8.  I tried system restore but my most old restore point was only a week before my problem and did not help at all.

  Here's my problem exactly how it goes:

  I put a cd Ripper.  He begins ripping automatically the first track automatically.  On all the remaining tracks, it says "pending" in the status of rip.  After extraction of about 20% of the track, he spent the "ripping" to "error".  Then, all other tracks are from 'pending' to 'error' and ejects the cd.  I tried all combinations of bitrate and the type of file format and nothing seems to work.  Also on some of your answers on this forum your told us to go to the page Windows VISTA Media Player 11 download to download, but when I click on the link http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx , DOES NOT give you the option of Windows Media Player 11 for VISTA, only for XP and earlier windows platforms.  I even tried to download one for XP and I got an error saying something like that I have a newer version and that you can't use that one.  Anyone can solve this for me?  I was able to copy CDs to the 31/08/09, since these windows updates seems to have screwed something.  Are there bugs in these new updates of compatibility issues?  Help!

  Hello SavatageFan, welcome.

  Out of curiosity, have you tried ripping the content to another computer? The disc itself is possibly corrupt.
  Another option you can try is to manually copy the contents of the CD to the hard drive and play back locally. That would reduce the possible causes.

  In addition, what happens if you try to read all the content? Never introduce error messages or jump?

• In windows 7, Windows Media Player does not work and displays "Server execution failed".

  I am facing a problem when I want to open the WMP it does appear anything (do not open) and when I try to open a media file, then it displays "Server execution failed". Could any body help me solve the problem.

  Things to try:

  • Uninstall WMP then reinstall it of "features" - "turn on or off windows features" develop ' media features. and uncheck the 'Windows media player' reboot your PC and then do the same thing but check WMP to reinstall it.
  • run WMP - problem shooters in "search programs and files" enter "help" (without the quotation marks), in the results click "troubleshooting." Click on 'programs' and run the WMP troubleshooters.
  • Run the wmp FixIt - go to http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/?wa=wsignin1.0 and run the FixIt of MP.

  If it still does not work, try a SFC/scannow scan.
