  The video freezes randomly and sometimes the program stops responding for a few seconds. For some reason any audio works fine however. I've had these files on my computer for awhile now and they never have it so far.

  Hi Shelby Reyes,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community. I understand that windows media player gets stuck in video but audio continues very well. I'll help you with this problem.

  1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  2. have you made changes on the computer recently?

  3. what security software is installed on the computer?

  4. how much free space is available on the hard disk?

  Method 1.

  Try to use the Troubleshoot utility to see if that solves the problem.

  a. open the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel.

  (b) in the search box, type "Troubleshooting" and then click Troubleshooting.

  c. click on show alland then click the Windows Media Player settings.

  A clean boot to test if any element of service or third party application startup is causing this issue.

• color of Windows media player problem

  The Windows Media Player framework (including the toolbar) changed to dark red color (have not changed the parameters myself) on my desktop (blackish slept on my laptop). and the "color picker" under "improvements" simply does not (it does on my laptop). I've uninstalled and reinstalled WMP without result. Suggestions, please

  I found this solution on an Avast forum (seems as if some Avast users have this problem) and it worked for me.

  Open the dialog box run (twice) and then paste into the pressing next OK after every time:

  regsvr32 jscript.dll

  regsvr32 vbscript.dll

  I did a registry backup first - just in case - but now my WMP is back to normal (black)

• Windows media player is all pastel colors

  When I play a video in media player, it is all bright and pastel colors.  I had this before but can't remember how to fix it.

  Windows media player has color controls in playing, right click, select Video adjustment and improvements. Very probably messed up your up to in some way, the default is ok.

• Windows media player displays the video like a color negative

  Had to wipe my hard drive and do a reinstall of Win - XP. Media player format has changed (another screen w / options) when you open attachments to emails, they play like color negatives. The audio seems normal, but the video is very bad.

  When you reinstall the operating system... you need to update completely
  the system for the current versions. You may need to
  update your video driver and you need also a current more
  version of Windows Media Player.

• Change color of Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7

  So, I recently tried to change the color of my windows media player to match the kind of dextre, theme of blood spatter that I have going on, but I can not find the color picker. It's not where it was, if it exists at all in media player 12.

  I don't want to install a theme, I just want to change the color of the player, as you could in version 10.

  Hi retentivetoast,
   
  Windows media player color picker options is not available in Windows 7.
   
  You can change only of 'window color and appearance'

  =================================
  Have you had success playing other video DVDs?

  Maybe you need a DVD decoder?

  (FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
  point before installing any software or updates)

  Info about DVD decoders:

  Also, you could try the free VLC Media Player:
