• No sound in windows media player (11.0.6002.18111) only trying to play mp3 files. No way of fixing/uninstallation or reinstallation. Need advice!

  I recently encountered a problem with Windows Media Player 11 (a specific version in the title of the topic) where no sound play atall when you try to play mp3 files. When trying to play a track of the progress indicator moves VERY slowly and jumps in a stuttering mode and no sound whatsoever is coming through the speakers. He is a recent problem.

  All audio files work on other audio programs like Real player, quick time e.t.c. and the sound comes from the computer normally. Only the sound that I have are with windows media player when you try to play mp3 files. Still fine read video files, wav files play fine. How boring is that he suddenly decided he likes are more mp3 files!

  More annoying, I stumbled upon the fact that I can't uninstall the reader as in Vista, it is part of the operating system literal, I can't download and install WMP install package from Microsoft because I tried and it tells me that I have a more recent version of Windows media player and therefore impossible to use the downloaded Setup program to install or repair windows media player. It is therefore impossible for me to get an installation package that is newer than the one on the computer, you would have thought that the downloadable installation on the microsoft Web site would be the more recent but no!

  I can't think of a way to solve this problem. For me it feels strongly a Codec issue to do with MP3 and WMP but I don't really know about Codecs enough to go on the setting of the specific Codec with the question, or even track down which codec it is perhaps whether she "is" a codec problem in the first place.

  I tried settings with the menu of options in WMP 11 troubleshooting unsuccessful (obviously), I also tried an audio tool / repair of breakdowns than microsfts audio troubleshooting prompted me to try, that of no problems with the actual audio devices on the system... I KNOW, his problem with WMP and mp3 files!

  So, to summarize, WMP doesn't read MP3 files, I can't run a repair tool that there is no 'installation' to WMP 11 package, it is not an uninstall utility is which means that I can't uninstall it to reinstall a new, I can't download the installation package and run it as apparently I have a more current version than is available on the microsoft Web site. Then what should I do?

  I need some advice on how to go about trying to solve this problem I've hit a bit of a brick wall...

  Any advice would be much appreciated!

  FIXED!

  randomly enough rate and bit depth format sample somehow has set high in the sound control panel, advanced driver.

  After hitting "restore defaults" it resets the depth of rate and little sample return at: 16 bit 44.1 khz

  The sound now plays perfectly.

  Weird it performs only mp3 files!

  Thanks for the help people, it seems that I ended up sorting out on my own though! Yay for me! haha

• Windows Media Player - change the columns that appear under 'Now Playing'

  I would like to change the columns displayed in the views now play and Windows Media Player play list.  The factory default is to show only the fields title and length.  It wouldn't be that big a deal this is something fairly simple to access the page layout options, hit choose columns and select the check boxes for the columns I want to show... but the title and duration are the only fields that it allows me to select from.  He still refuses to allow me to select anything else.  I know that there is a way to display more information, but for the life of me I don't remember how to do so that he can do.  Help?

  Hey,.

• Why windows media player allows me to 'slide' video files to cd/dvd to computer sync?

  I am trying to copy a video disc that I made to my computer, but when I try to sync windows media player does not allow me to drag the files in place for this operation! When I ask your help files that they not give information for the music of copy/extraction of video files! Why are you being *?

  Hi Ronald,.

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  According to the description of the problem, it seems that you can not drag video files from a drive on the Windows Media Player.

  I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions to help you best:

  1. what happens when you try to drag the files?

  2. do you get an error message?

  3 have there been recent changes made on the computer before the show?

  I suggest to copy the files on the desktop and try to drag and check if this may help. The player adds automatically a file that you play from removable media such as a CD or DVD.

• Windows Media Player in Win 7 64 RC doesn't play WMV or show pictures

  Hello
  I'm desperately looking for a solution to this weird problem:
  I recently had to reinstall my Win 7 RC 64.
  After a clean install and all MS updates have been installed (including sound and video card drivers) my Windows Media Player will not play videos or show pictures.
  The clean SAMPLE video wildlife HD (.) WMV) will not appear. All I get is sound. Also, if I double click on an image in the player it gives error "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem while playing the file. Are you serious? PLAYBACK OF THE FILE?
  Now, if I double click on the image outside of the player, his record shows it.
  In regard to video, Windows Media Center is playing fine without a hitch.
  What happens ____? This is a new installation, and it is even impossible to read its own file types?
  I tried several solutions suggested in similar subjects without result:
  I went to control panel > sound > Speaker > advanced and unchecked "enable audio enhancements".
  I tried to open command prompt with admin power and use only the "sfc/scannow" and he said no problem have been detected or fixing necessary.
  I also tried to recreate the databases of the media player and the same problem.
  I don't think at this point it's a thing of codec (Media Center plays without problem).
  WHAT SHOULD I DO?
  Before that I have re-installed the copy, it worked without a problem!
  System information:
  Lenovo Thinkpad z61t 9440 AMU.
  Video card: Intel 945 express chipset family.
  Sound: Soundmax HD audio
  Processor: Intel core 2 2.00 GHZ T7200

  Please, I'm desperate and I spent hours pulling my hair already cleared to come up with a reasonable answer.
