  • Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close, heartbreaking.

    Recently, while ripping the cd to Windows Media Player 11 on XP Service Pack 3, I'm frequently getting the message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close."  It happens usually during the second or third disc.  I then close and reopen and am immediately able to rip the CD.  Sometimes the player will immediately be closed as soon as I click on "start rip."   Any ideas?

    The same thing happens if you rip to MP3 or WMA?

    Post here the technical details of the accident. Go to Start- run , type eventvwr.msc , and then press ENTER.

    In Event Viewer, access to the application log and look for an error in the list, there should be two entries for the last crash. Double-click on these two events and copy/paste their description in your post.

  • Question for Microsoft Support; I have a huge amount of music files .m4a that I can not play on Windows Media Player?

    Question for Microsoft Support;
    I have a LARGE amount of files music .m4a in a storage drive stand alone that I downloaded from an old Apple computer have more possession of. I can't understand how to enter these data into my old Emachines computer Windows Vista run the Media Player program. I tried to copy a few files m4a manually in the file Media Player Music folder, but they do not play. I'm not really all that computer savvy and know only the basics, I need to use my computer really. Can you give me some step by step instructions how to get these converted files or whatever it is I need to do to get them to play and to integrate properly into my library if it is possible? If this isn't the case, I'll have to go out and buy a new Apple computer for my 60 GB music collection. In the past, that I've never had no real problem shooting files to leave this computer based Vista and convert these files to my old computers Apple Itunes Player. So what's the problem with your system of guys that done anyway this such a pain in the butt? I would really like to understand what exactly is happening with this issue? It's very frustrating for me. I'm a finish Carpenter not a computer programmer. Such things should not be so difficult for someone like me to understand. All I intend to buy a really nice computer, probably in the summer and was considering a Microsoft based computer. But if this kind of problem will be spread with Microsoft products, so maybe I should reconsider. help you can offer to alleviate this problem will be greatly appreciated.

    According to research on the Internet, Windows Media Player, atleast this is version 11 (included in Windows Vista and available for Windows XP SP2 +) cannot play Apple loseless type .m4a audio files without having to install any codecs.

    If you want to use Windows Media Player, you can follow the instructions mentioned here to install the necessary codecs and plugins.

    (In the related instructions above, in the first step talks about codecs - your .m4a files are files Apple loseless then follow the party referred to in the first stage about Apple loseless .m4a)

    Personally, I prefer using alternatives to Windows Media Player rather than installing codec packs.

    If you don't want to install codecs, download no matter what media player from "programs that open. M4A files"- Windows category list on this page.

    If you use a spare player - VLC Media Player is my choice.

    original title: green screen recently started in windows media player for Vista 64-bit.

  • Windows media player network sharing the CPU excessive service

    After you have enabled the sharing of multimedia files, I find that this service runs continuously and consumes about 25% of the time processor. In addition, Windows Media Player uses also a surcharge of 25% when they are active. I have a quad core cpu and even if it is a considerable success on my computing speed.

    I've tried several things:

    Deleted then recreated the home group

    People with disabilities and rebooted Media Sharing

    Rebuilt the windows media player library

    Looking for corrupted hard disk files

    Run my computer for three days without rebooting! (Still not enough to complete the indexing!)

    None of them worked.  In addition, when windows media player is active, it seems to be constantly updated in the library. (I think this explains the 25% CPU usage).

    I have search databases, etc. online and although this problem is frequently mentioned, the only "solution" was to disable sharing... which seems a little extreme and also limits how do I use this feature because I have to restart it whenever I wanted to stream a file.

    Help, please!

    Thank you...

    Well!  I have an answer.  Apparently with a large media library (I have several thousand titles and 150 gigs of stuff) it takes forever for the library index for distribution to work properly.  After several days of 50% use of media player and the service of streaming media... they finally stop! The CPU usage is back to normal... the library is indexed and all is right with the world. I would like someone from Microsoft said this long ago... and I really hope this helps others with the same problem.

  • Why there is no service on my windows media player play

    I can't find the button "play to" wmp on my media player is updated, but there is no button "play to" where all the help guides show that it is. I tried several of the help guides provided by microsoft, but you still can't find the button "play to" any help would be greatly appreciated

    Weird?

    The button appears on mine, but you can use it in 'Streaming' is turned on, and the PC can connect to your multimedia device (TV in my case).

    If you right click on a file (photo or video, etc.) in WMP, then 'Play To' appears?

    Additional information - http://www.everything-microsoft.com/2009/10/29/windows-7-guides-using-play-to-in-wmp-12/

    It may be an error in WMP or even course, so have you tried the old UN-install/Reboot/reinstall WMP to see if that helps? - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/26107/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-player-in-windows-7-to-solve-problems/ and/or convenience stores of WMP - , to the search type "Troubleshoot" (without the quotation marks) in "Troubleshooting" click results click on "programs" and look at convenience stores of player three media (esp delivery to zero one), to see if they find and then fix anything.

    PS - the search around, I just found this tip for another ' play to ' problem on WMP12.

    1 closed WMP12.
    2. go into [Control Panel-> system] Services and safety-> administration-> Services tools
    3. Locate the service named "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service"
    4. stop the Service manually.
    5 locate the "UpnP device host" service Stop the service and restart it.
    6. start 'Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service' now.
    7. close the control panel and all the windows. Open Windows Media Player... make a right click on a playlist and see if the Play option lists the TV. Try to play now... He started playing for me at this point!


    While the symptoms were not the same as yours, it may be useful to at least check the services are listed and started.

  • Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service or a service it depends on failed to start. (Windows 8)

    A problem occurred recently in which I can't stream my music from WMP with other devices in the home as my Xbox 360 group. It has always worked well and this is the first time, it's happened. When I tried to connect my PC to the Xbox, my PC has appeared on the list, but when it connects a reason any. I then went to my PC to make sure that everything was in order. I open Windows Media Player and watched the streaming options. Everything was going in order, except that the media from my computer was turned on not a reason any. I clicked on ' turn streaming media on "and it led me to the page of the control panel option. It reads simply "media streaming is not enabled" (as well as usual and precautions which not). I clicked on the button below "streaming media turn on. This is where my problem appears. Loads of my computer and nothing happens. I tried a few times and he told me then that the title of the question says. He then invites you to me to go to the service administrator tools. So I did and I went through the list of services until I found than the one titled "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. He was not running although it should be automatically.

  • Microsoft Product Support Services (C00D28B7) Windows Media Player 11

    I use a 4 month old XPS M1530 DELL with Windows Vista. And Windows Media Player 11 was already installed. I always update my computer with the latest updates for Windows and Vista.

    Hello. For a few weeks ago, I wanted to take the opportunity to see a TV program that was protected with DRM by using Windows Media Player 11 I have installed on my computer. After I chose to play this TV program with Windows Media Player 11, I got a message that I had to install an add-in to be able to view the selected program. I accepted and then.

    I never had a confirmation that it went well. And I'm still not able to see TV programs that are protected by DRM. Whenever I try to load the protected DRM content I get the same error. The error text that appears is the following (translated from the Norwegian version)

    There is a problem in the DRM (Digital Rights Management) component. Contact the Technical Support of Microsoft (C00D28B7). Windows Media Player cannot play the video and reported the error message above.

    I tried to get answers on how to solve this problem on the internet without finding any answers. Can someone please help me solve this? Please describe how, to English easy since my English could be better. I have also considered reversing this additional installation. It is to uninstall this add-on. Can someone help me to do this?

    Hi ourkid,

    Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

    It seems that the error log has been changed on your system.  If the DRM is used correctly, try to install this update to resolve the problem.

    Basically, that's all... I'll be listening to a song and when I start a new cat, WMP is paused. It is not that the volume is assigned to Omegle, the pause button is selected on the application. Weird!

    Hello

    This may have conflicting settings, then I would say allows you to check for room sound/alerts options in the Messenger and check to see if those who are arrested.

    You can also run the troubleshooting Windows Media Player Settings Troubleshooter and check if it helps.
