Problems with Windows media player 11. When I go in my songs and try to play I get a pop up saying can't find decoder Sonic. I keep xing out and after several attempts, the song will play. What should I do?
Hello
1. do you have the third-party codec pack installed on the computer?
This occurs generally if the codecs to play the song are not. You can see the link provided below for more information on Codecs.
Codecs: Frequently asked questions
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/codecs-frequently-asked-questions
(The link provided above applies to Windows Media Player 11 in Windows XP).
You can download the third-party codecs and install them on the computer to resolve this problem.
Note:
Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

Windows media player crashes when you start cd play
When I insert a CD in windows media player, screen freezes when cd starts playing and the sound is chopy.
Hi RonnieDean,
- Did you the latest changes on the computer?
- Are you experiencing a similar problem with a CD you are trying to play using Windows media player?
- You have security software installed on the computer?
Method 1
See the link below and run the fixit tool available, check if it helps.
Solve the problems of Windows Media Player video and other media or library
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/
Method 2
If the previous step fails, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

Reset the computer to start as usual
When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
- Click Start , and then click run.
- Type msconfig , and then click OK.
The System Configuration utility dialog box appears. - Click the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services , and then click OK.

Yesterday, I got no sound and video, today I have sound but no video. What is happening with this?
I updated my drivers and now the video does not work. I use Windows Media Player c. 9.00.00.4510. When I click on read the file, in the black bar at the bottom ready it flashes very fast "error downloading codec". Before I updated the drivers, I got the video with no sound. Where this codec disappeared to? How can I get that back?
I have updates for the 9 Series Player and I'm happy with it. If I move up to 10 or 11, codecs and drivers will work with it automatically or will I have the same problem?

Windows Media Player re - arrange the order of the songs when I burn it to a cd
De : Troya
Message: Hi, I just have a question and I hope that someone could answer as soon as possible when I'm trying to burn audio CDs on my computer (using windows media player), he re - arranges them in a different order in which I wanted to be they... 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.

Appreciate any help that can be offered
Hi at Rob Merci for the quick reply, but before that I followed one of your suggestions I confirm the error message I get when trying to play some movies is certainly cood11d1 so your thoughts before going further with thank you bob.

Windows Media Player error when you try to play a CD: C00D1197
I played the CD/DVD on my laptop (windows vista) with no problems. I popped in a DVD and it plays very well. When I jumped into a music CD, (the one I've played a dozen times) I "Error Message C00D1197." When I went to my computer and clicked on the CD/DVD player - he said that he had NO CD/DVD read and spit my CD. When I put my rear DVD - no problems. Put in a CD, a CD, I get an error message. That's happened? I did something different. I wonder if the new window updates caused the problem. Unfortunately, I am not that computer savvy to be messing around on my laptop to see.

Hello
Have you tried to close all programs and then insert the disc?
Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
the question.Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs
