  • Windows Media driver does not load code 10?

    anyone has this problem

    Hello

    Description of errors related to the 10 Code that generates the Device Manager in Windows on computers
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943104/

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  • I want Windows media player to play files V.O.B

    I have a vista running dell 530 s. I download my movies dvd - r is home to my hard drive. Media Player won't play them. I would like to get Media Player to read. POWER DVD DX will play discs when the discs are in the draw, but I can't get my computer to use POWER DVD DX for them to play from the hard drive.

    If you want to just play individual. VOB files... try renaming
    glue them in. MPG and you can play them with Windows Media
    Drive. If you want to read the DVD as he plays in a DVD player...
    See the following...

    First, you copy the DVD VIDEO_TS folder
    in a folder on your hard drive.

    If Windows Media Player will play regular DVD... you could
    Open it and go... File / open... Navigate to the VIDEO_TS
    folder and when you open it, select all the files inside the...
    (Ctrl + A should select all files) with all selected files...
    Click on the button 'Open' and the DVD is expected to launch in Windows
    Media Player.

    Also... as an alternative...

    If you download and install the free VLC Media Player...
    You can click right a VIDEO_TS folder, then in the menu...
    choose... 'Play with VLC Media Player '.

    Hello

    Usually the Windows media Player is not able to read DVD movies IF no plugins were installed.
    To watch DVDs, you can use programs such as WinDVD or PowerDVD.
    These programs are designed for the DVD play!

    But you can also visit the Microsoft Web site and search plug-ins for Windows Media player.
    Then you can download and install to play a DVD with WMP

    Hello

    Please check the format to which the disk was burned. If the drive is made to a data disc format, several readers of cd or dvd will not be able to read its contents. In order for a disc in a cd player, it must be created in a format supporting by the player, which varies according to different manufacturers.

    Windows Media Player

    How transfer music from my USB to Windows Media Player.

    Hi johndeere,.

    Copy music from the external hard drive to record music and make sure that this folder is set to be monitored by Windows Media Player.

    a. to add or remove folders follow these steps:

    b. click on tools in Windows Media player

    c. then select Options.

    d. click on the Library tab

    e. and then click monitor folders.

    f. to add a folder to the folder list, click Add. Navigate to the folder of your choice.

    g. click OK.

    Windows Media Player keeps track of the files on your hard drive. It monitors new files, renamed files, deleted or moved files. When it detects changes, it updates automatically the media library. Windows Media Player watches my music, my videos files and default recorded TV.

  • Windows Media Player is not installed correctly. Reinstall the drive.

    I am running XP Home and WMP v11. I get the following message when I try and play some files: "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly. Reinstall the drive.

    In the past I had to go back to WMP 10 to 9 and reinstall when this happened, but when I triedthis method , this time it did not work and said that he could not uninstall.

    The songs have played fine on WMP in the past and they are the ones I've owned for years rather than months.

    I can't think that I changed something on the PC to save this change, but clearly I.

  • How can I fix see "obsolete driver is no longer supported by Windows Media Player ' on my Win XP Tablet?

    I have a 3 own Motion LE1600 Windows XP svc pk tablet. I run Windows Media Player v 11.0.5721.5280. I don't have any IDEA of pilots. The songs seem to play very well.

    So, what happened WITH THAT? How can I solve this problem?

    You download the .zip file on your hard disk and unzip it on your hard drive?  "If so, you should work with Explorer and not Internet Explorer, then"open in a new tab"should not be an option.  What happens if your right click on "setup.exe" and select "open"?

    You are an administrator on your machine?  The drivers require that you be logged as an administrator in order to install the drivers.  The quick test is to right click on the button 'start '.  If "Open all users" is one of the options that opens, then you are an administrator.

    Other .exe files open or is it just this one?  If you have a problem with all .exe files, you may have a problem of association of files with ".exe" files
