Windows Media Player 11 under WinXP missing labels

Windows Media Player 11 under WinXP SP3 appears as the old WMP 10 with the classic menus.

I uninstalled and reinstalled WMP11.  The current version is 11.0.5721.5280.

I wish I could attach a screenshot.

All that shows is the elements of 'classic' menu file/View/Play/Toos/help.

The large black tabs for <- -="">Now Playing | RIP | Library | Burn | Sync | Media Guide are missing.

Enter ctrl-M to the classic menus doesn't change anything.

By clicking on the small icon to go to the 'full' mode does nothing.

How WMP to display the user interface of new type.  I have another computer running WinXP SP3 with WMP11 which works as expected, and I can't seem to find out what is different.

WMP11 is like it is stuck in some form of compact mode with the old style user interface.

Thanks for your help.

Found the answer on another forum.

With the help of the registry, the value editor

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaPlayer]
"SetAndLockSkin" = DWORD: 00000000

  • WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER... Missing codecs

    My windows media player use to play DVD & VCD but now missing the codec so can't watch these now. Download the codecs but them uninstalled as apparently do IE, Media Player etc unstable. Is anyone able to help with this please... Thanks :)

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in this forum. I understand that DVD is not playing in Windows media player, installed some codecs but these codecs were Internet Explorer unstable. Let us know if it's the misunderstanding of the question.

    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.

    A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

    For example, when you rip a song from an audio CD on your computer, the player uses the default Windows Media Audio codec to compress the song into a compact WMA file. When you play that WMA file (or any WMA file that may be broadcast from a Web site), the player uses the codec Windows Media Audio to decompress the file for music can be played through your speakers.

  • the Player Windows Media Player 11 burned CD missing information.

    I burned a CD with WMP 11 in my XP Pro machine and it played on my computer Windows 7 using WMP12. He played but no information about the albums, artists presented themselves.  I wanted to copy the CD, but I'm really sick of Unknown in my music so I won't start to pollute my new machine. Any help here. Thank you

    If you burned the files as an audio cd (one you can play in a CD player) the information will not be saved. If you burn the files on the CD as a data disc, the information must be stored.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/279157

    If the two computers are connected to a router, you simply share your music and copy the files to the Windows 7 computer like that.

    Web videos Windows Media Player require additional plugin software that adds specific functionality to enable items to use. Additional plug-in software requires more memory. However, the internal memory of the device of Internet TV is designed only to be used to store data of the pre-installed applications. For this reason, Windows Media Player can not play.

    You can export the play list to Word with the exporter of Info Media plug-ins, which is part of the WMP9 series Winter Fun Pack 2003: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/wm_winterfun.mspx (do not worry about the label 'WMP9 Series', the plugin still works fine in newer versions).

  • Windows Media Player does not include the CD Label/Insert manufacturer as it did before as I have re-installed Windows.

    Hi TerryodO'Donnell.

    The manufacturer of your computer would have installed extra software on your computer to create CD labels.

    So, you can use LightScribe system software to create CD labels.

  • Windows Media Player 11 - right click "Add/enqueue" option missing - cannot load the contents of the folder

    Hello

    Windows Media Player 11.0.6002.18005 for my Vista 64-bit system worked very well for me.  I could right click on any folder containing my Mp3 files and select 'Add to the reader' or 'enqueue' and it would then open and read my files that are in the folder.

    However, for some reason this right click on the option is now missing from my right click menu.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you!

    Alright!

    It's a simple solution... I had apparently made a universal change to display the parameters of the files from my Vista, and it removed the 'Music Details' option in the combo box with area to "Customize" options files in the properties...

    I just changed the "Music Details" option for the kind of file, I want it to be... and voila!  .. "Add to Windows Media Player play list" and "Play with Windows Media Player" options are available again for me via a right-click on these files.
