Windows 7 - Windows Media Player 12 blocks almost everytime
Hello
Almost everytime I open Windows Media Player 12, it crashes. Usually, the window opens but is grey and the cursor indicates that it is busy. I tried the following two methods to fix the problem. Method 1.
1. click on start and in the search bar type cmd.exe
2. right click on cmd.exe and click Run as administrator
3. in the command prompt, type the following command
net localgroup "Administrators'" NT Authority\Local Service "/ Add 4. press on enter and restart the computer
Method 2.
Uninstalling and reinstalling Windows Media Player:
Step 1.
Uninstalling Windows Media Player:
1. go to start and in the search type "Turn Windows willing or not.
2. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
3. search for multimedia and uncheck the brand in the face of Windows Media Player.
4 restart the computer
Step 2.
Reinstall Windows Media Player:
1. go to start and in the search type "Turn Windows willing or not.
2. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
3. find the multimedia functions and place a check mark in front of the Windows Media Player.
4 restart the computer.
Method 2 resolves the issue. However, it got to the point where WMP 12 is useless because almost everytime, it blocks and I'm not ready to have to restart my PC twice in order to watch a video or listen to music.
Come on Microsoft - please get your this sort and give us a proper and permanent solution to the problem of 7/WMP 12 inherant Windows. Kind regards Jonesyboi
I had this problem for months, it was really making me nervous. But I've sorted it.
The problem was in pictures, corrupted files, not wmp or music that I assumed that would be the question.
Heal... GB of photos and video. I had some files that had no picture. These are the corrupted files that were the cause of the problem. I had 8 photos and 2 videos that I downloaded on my iPhone 5. I just don't understand how or why it happened. Not a clue.
Even removing them was difficult, as I went to remove WMP shutdown.
So I google and download "File Assassin" work all works fine now.
I curse me Microsoft WMP, but Apple has been the cause of the problem.
Good luck, WMP is so much better than ITunes.
If it works let me know. I just would like to know if it helps someone.

Original title: no volume when playing DVDs
When I play a DVD on Windows media player I get almost no sound through the external speaker on my laptop. I get some, but it is too weak to really enjoy the movie. If I use headphones I can hear the DVD very well, and I can hear the clips DVD sample provided with my computer on my speakers and headphones. If the computer can generate the volume correctly, but something goes wrong, whenever I try to play a DVD that is not on my hard drive. I tried every button volume already. Thank you

2 have you tried to play the DVD in another computer?

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.

How can I block Windows media player-all function or video?
OK, I have one of four newspapers-ons in my pc that is locked down pretty tight where the only thing I want to work is word processor (WordPerfect and starting Word version). My teenage son has impulse control issues, which gives more access means that it is wandering and not on the task. Theoretically, he likes to play music while working on school assignments (writing) on the computer. The problem is that apparently in addition to the execution of music files already resident on our pc and external drive, he inserted DVD in the dvd player and movies run (secretly) that are played to use the features of Windows media player. My preference would be to hell video functionality or the ability to use the DVD drive under this opening of session and leave the ability of audio file. Is there a way to do this?
Alternatively, if I install another drive, can I block the video features of a different player and block the drive windows completely?
Hi Akphoneguy,
We understand that you want to restrict your teenager using Windows Media Player to play the video file but without impact on music files. However, the feature that you are curious about is currently not available in Family Safety. It can only restrict the entire working application and not a specific feature within the application. If you think that restrict certain features of any application is a convenient feature to have safe family, we suggest that submit you it as a feature request to Microsoft who appreciates your comments and considers that the suggestion of a future versions. Here is the link where you can fill out our feedback form.
In regards to your idea to install a new drive and Windows Media Player blocking completely, as now, we have no information for the player who can perform the function you are looking for. We can only suggest what to look for any media player that may able to do using your search engine preferred.
If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to reply to this message and we will do our best to help you.
Thank you.

Windows Media Player blocks everything!
Windows Media Player blocks everything I want to do, downloads, files, system recovery and so on. Even when the computer turns on Media player rises and box says cannot read the file type, and then I have to close that and the only thing I can do is to connect to the internet. So please someone know what I can do, I've done everything the error codes say, lack of codecs and nothing. I'm to the point that if I continue to live with this problem, may as well ditch the laptop. If anyone has an answer or a suggestion it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi KellyJohnsonSQ,

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 youHi Xario1,

Tips on how to make Windows Media Player DVD playback are not the player of Tosh
I don't want to use the Toshiba Media Player pre-installed to play the DVD, I want to use the Windows Media Player installed. I can't change the default to WMP in the Panel DVD player as the only options are Player Toshiba or Nero.
WMP can play CDs, MP3 etc but cannot even play DVDs in the drive. Anyone got tips on how to change this?
It; s a Toshiba Satellite Pro C850 with Windows 8 is installedI agree with Liam
VLC Player is much better than WMP.
This small utility of s dealing with almost all possible formats and not stress much on the hardware.
