• A video shows the 'windows media player 2 has stopped working ". How can I fix it?

  When I click on the icon to play a video, "windows media player 2 has stopped working" is the only thing that appears. How can I fix it?
  I have to go into the program to find the video. I didn't know that there was a Media Player 2. Would it not be better to download another drive to use? If so which do you recommend?

  Hi Dave,.

  1. What is the format of the video you are trying to play?

  2 are you facing this problem only with a particular video file?

  3. have you made changes to your computer recently?

  I suggest to follow the link and run Microsoft fix - it and check if that helps.

• Windows Media Player 12 has stopped working.

  Windows Media Player 12 has stopped working. When I select an audio track and click on the play button, a red X appears next to the title in the playlist. I uninstalled and reinstalled the player, but also update the drivers. Checking the properties through the device manager says that the device is working properly, but this clearly isn't. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem would be welcome. As a matter of interest, itunes has stopped working at the same time. And audio tracks play fine in RealPlayer.
  Thanks in advance

• I want media files to play in outdoor applications. Media.Windows - Media - foundation.enabled has no effect for me.

  So ridiculous that something changes unexpectedly. I run a recording studio. This is how to make money to eat. I could always click on a wav/mp3/etc. and choose Save or open with an external drive. I have to do this a lot. The only way I seem to be able to do now is save it somewhere and then open it from there. Thank you. Twice the work. Media.Windows - Media - foundation.enabled = everything that has no effect for me. I want to say what I really think, but I'll bite my tongue.

  Edit: Are you kidding me? It is required to install a software to be able to post this question? Still bite my tongue...

  Try the media.directshow.enabled pref set to false.

• 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.

• Windows Media Player 11 has stopped playing some of my MP3s. Any ideas on how to solve this?

  I have a desktop Dell Dimension running XP. I uninstalled Real Player and Rhapsody, just in case they were causing problems, but that did not work.

  Here is what I noticed:

  WMP plays still files were extracted a CD, the songs that were purchased from Amazon, but not:

  -The MP3s that have been purchased by third parties (for example, recordings of teleseminar I bought

  -Downloaded free MP3s (once again the teleseminar recordings)

  -WMA files that I downloaded (records of my seminars)

  All this has played before. I can't put my finger when he started, although I think that things started to get weird when I downloaded itunes months ago, but I don't remember this particular problem from this time.

  I searched the Web for similar positions, but found none.

  So... any suggestions would be most appreciated.

  Thank you very much
  David

  Hello OutbackDAL,

  Thank you for your message.  There is an option in iTunes to convert all the songs to the .aac format.  This might be the reason why you are not able to play in Media Player, because this format is not supported in Media Player 11.  Right click on one of the songs that can not play and check the format of the song.  If the song is the .aac format, you will need to convert it to another compatible format or .mp3.  If the song is already in a readable format, you can watch download or install a new Codec.  Sometimes, they have several players (that is to say real, Rhapsody, iTunes, etc.) can damage your Codec.  You can get the Windows Media Player Codec from the link below.

• WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11 HAS NO VIDEO BUT SOUND

  I downloaded and paid for the codec suggested Microsoft. Updated my Nvidia video card and it installed firefox plugin for WMP.  I can't get a video image, but get the sound when you try to play a dvd or the downloaded video. Not sure what to try next? Should I just remove WMp 11 and redownload it? Suggetions?

  Hi CLB43,

  Generally, this problem should be solved by installing the video codec. In my view, re - install the video codec should solve the problem.

  Also, make sure the file format you are trying to play if it is supported by WMP11 or not.
