Windows Media Player 10 is to blame for PC restart when I hotsync Palm USB Windows XP

In my previous post, I wrote how can I Hotsync my Palm VX (Via the Serial Port) on Windows XP but when I tried my M515 HotSync, my computer shuts down immediately and it restarts. Then my PC started to plant a blue screen when stopping with an error on a 'Device Driver' in the 'Kernel Stack"or something. (No idea what that means). After a complete reformat, I reinstalled Windows XP and Service Pack 3 unconnected to the internet. Without having to install anything else, I installed Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and Hotsynced. Two fine hotsynced palms. I created a system restore point and installed Windows Media Player 10 from a backup (I had not run Media Player 9 which comes with XP). When I then tried to Hotsync my M515, it immediately restarts the PC as before. Uninstall Media Player while version 9 has been "canceled" does not solve the problem. Unfortunately, I did not uninstall and reinstall Palm Desktop, who might have done the trick, but when I used my Restore Point to go back to the after Service Pack 3 installed, reinstalled Palm Desktop and my Palm Hotsynced once more. Since then, I have installed MS Office 2000, Avast Antivirus, Zone Alarm, even RealPlayer (V10) and my Hotsyncs still Palm very well. I removed Windows Media Player by using Add/Remove Windows components in Control Panel. I have not yet run Windows updates, but when I do, I'll do a Custom update avoid all updates that involve Windows Media Player (since I don't use it). Maybe it's not relevant, but I see that an export of Palm Memo (*.mpa) has been associated with Media Player initially and then with Real Player.Removing this association in Windows Explorer appears not to convince Windows that this is not a movie file and I don't know how to do a file only as my address book and Contacts file. It may not even be important, but it could be useful.

An update, I have now enabled XP Home and installed all updates of high priority for XP Home Edition, except for the upgrade to Internet Explorer 6 (I prefer to use Opera as my browser) I have not installed the other optional updates, and of course, I do not have an updated Media Player version. I removed the Media Player 9 which comes with XP (just in case where causing the same problems as version 10) using Add Remove Windows components so that nobody else runs it accidentally. I also installed the latest versions of Macromedia Flash Player for Internet Explorer and Opera without causing problems. My PC works beautifully and my HotSync Palm like a spring lamb. Real Player 10.5 behaves itself.

    a. when I run a WMV file there is no audio data.

    b. when I rang a MPEG 2 file (720 p, 25 frames per second) OR a file m2t, Windows Media Player is not able to read the file and gives the error: "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when reading what he gives.

    c. when I close the program Pinnacle all right and WMP reads all of the above files correctly.

    I would be grateful yuour help solve the problem.

    Thank you

    Hello Paresh,

    The Pinnacle program is third party software that is causing the problem to occur. Pinnacle may be in conflict with your music files playing in Windows Media Player, that's why, I suggest you to contact pinnacle and check with them.

    Windows Media Player 12 is probably to use the codecs used by pinnacle, which may be the culprit.

  • Having trouble getting Windows media player to recognize and extract some burned CD when I insert the CD, nothing comes up on the tab extract. I have licenses for all the protected songs and the same CD was ripped in the past by using media player.

    My computer has a virus and before I wiped it's own, I copied all my files to blank CD I was able to extract these CDs on my computer but they are in the WMA format and I want them in MP3 format. I changed the rip settings but when I put in the CD Ripper re - it, nothing comes tab extract. I tried to delete all the files in windows media player and my computer but media player doesn't always recognize the CD tab extract. I have restored my music files from the bin to WMA, but I really need to extract the songs in MP3 format. What can I do to get Windows to recognize and tear my CD? Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Make sure that there is no CD in the CD drive. Then, go to Options - confidentiality of WMP and click the button Clear the Caches . Restart WMP, and insert a CD you want to re - rip. Are you able to rip the CD now?

    If it still does not work, you can try to rip the CD from another user account (if necessary, create a new user account in the control panel). Afterwards, you can move the files ripped to MP3 to your own original account. Tim Baets

  • Windows Media Player find manually the info from the album when selected.

    I'm looking to "find album info" by right-clicking on the album in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7. After clicking on it, the dialog box appears and a small globe in the upper left corner turns for a few seconds, then stops and nothing happens. I waited a few hours to make sure. Stay right on the white screen of white. It worked fine with no new changes two days ago and now it is not. I checked to make sure that I work online and am. Retrieve additional information from the internet are checked and media files updated to retrieve information from the internet is selected too. I can connect and browse the stores online through WMP so I don't know that it needs to connect to the internet.

    Nevermind, I found the answer to someone else.  I had to disable Internet Access Manager. For some reason, that it will not allow WMP to connect to internet to download the info from the album.

  • Windows Media Player re - arrange the order of the songs when I burn it to a cd

Does anyone know how to burn in the exact order that I want them to be?

    I would be grateful if someone could send me an email with the answer... my email is: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    De : Jeff Richards

    Response: How do you determine the order in which the files were written to the CD? If you view the contents of the CD using Windows Explorer, the files are classified in the way that the browser has been set to see, not the way they have been written to the CD.

    If you need them to be in order for other purposes, for example to play in a particular order in your drive, then you must determine how that player chooses the order in which to read the files - it is probably not the order in which they are copied to the CD.

    Hi elottier,

    1. what type of file you are trying to play?

    2. what version of Windows Media Player is installed on the computer?

    This seems to be a Codec problem. A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

    Try the steps from the following link:

  • Windows Media Player does not allow me to update track information

    I have Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 8 running and when I try to update the titles of songs, artists, genre, etc.  updates do not change the actual files.  I tried everything I found previous discussions and it has not solved the problem.

    What I've done

    (1) run the Windows media player troubleshooting library and search for the question - when I run the utility troubleshooting that indicates that the database is corrupted and one erases / reconstructions it however the problem persists once the database is rebuilt.

    (2) disable and enable Windows media player using the features Windows power solution - no change to my question.

    (3) run the fixit from following link: Fix Windows Media Player videos and other media or from the library - this tool is not available for Windows 8

    (4) running %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then deleting all files, forcing Media Player to rebuild - worked for a very short time and then the same question. When I tried this fix the 2nd no time no change, I can't update the portion of my files.

    It's everything I could possibly find it please someone help me!

    Hi Jessica,.

    As with any database, the information that is stored in the database or the database itself can be damaged. The Windows Media Player library database can usually recover automatically from the database. However, the database may be corrupted in such a way that Windows Media Player is unable to recover the database.

    a. press the Windows key + run , type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player , and then click OK .
    b.Select allfiles in the folder and then clickdelete 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.

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files . To do this, follow these steps:

    # If you are runningWindows 8/8.1, press Windows key + run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click on OK.

    # Select thefolder Media Player and then click delete on the file menu.

    # Restart Windows Media Player .

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
