• Windows Media Player 11 and IE 8 XP Pro and can't listen to a CD I ripped,.

  original title: music licensing

  I am running Windows Media Player 11 and IE8 installed on XP Pro and when I try to listen to a CD that I pulled it out of my computer, a new tab opens in Firefox (my default browser), with the following message:

  The license can not be downloaded because your Web browser is not supported.
  To download a license, you must install Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or later.
  To install the latest version of Internet Explorer, see the Windows Update page.

  What do I need any type of license to, to listen to music, I ripped a CD I bought, and furthermore that the browser has to do with what ever automated procedure Microsoft Media Player must perform?

  Suspecting that not having IE selected as the default browser might be interfering, I did so (something I'm not impressed about) and instead, was taken through to a Windows Media Technologies page http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/pdrm/en/welcome.asp?challenge=AAEAAZB*vUQ029QDmL5QfLzVnjGCf9din34fu*twoJQKPK0Agme7r3JqmhpZNJIHdVJ3JF20CQEtGSO6im53G7MUAjceYDRQUZXp2ghI5bYyB7kJjpvQoHFJNtNRWAvEXvv!fk7GbENwhn1K0gzMvWstLFBf3Esp9laOTsOCLqO7FqCfeYinJkeEGUevauivoM3NLAJOP4exrtgQX4zeRcujxi7W7AmLGDNRhh2qEgP1WmXh2PkzNZXwSn3QznsTK8!up58P10sX&DRMVer=1.4&embedded=false that provided some information about Licensing and Migrations and offered the opportunity to Download a License.  However, after selecting this button has encountered an error: 438 unknown error occurred when you store your license.

  Where are the stored licenses and why is this is not the case with all the music I have on my computer?  Y at - it a way to wipe the slate clean for example. delete this dabase?

  I would appreciate an overview of this and especially a viable solution.  Thanks for your time.

  Microsoft actually has nothing to with licenses, this all started with copywrights, Pat.

  CD/dvd/MFG, etc. even VCR tapes come into play... 3rd & 4th parties associated with records

  & distribution band want a piece of the action, this puts some control over fraudlent records/etc...

  Yes, there is a lot of BS

  From there, simply download IE8, set internet options in IE, open WMP, get the license.

• Problems with media player 11 and all other players, playing music is broken?

  Problems with media player 11 and all other players, playing music is broken?

  Hi all

  I have a big sound even and odd / problem reading music?

  My computer using windows media player 11 and classic media windows and others to play my music in the hard lists recorded by windows media player 11 copied from my CD.

  But here's the weird problem that only started to happen now, when I play music saved on any one of the players of the computer the sound breaks sometimes but not always?

  Even if I try tp use players like windows media player 11 to play recorded video clips sound breaks toward the top, but the video image only?

  I have a newly completed with windows xp home system and service pack 3, and all memory and material necessary for a pc game of level, a new graphics card was installed and by the way the problem of noise was there before this was done?

  I don't know what is the fault? And I don't know how to find out what the required audio driver are for his computer system I?

  I tried the right click on the audio device to see if the pilot could be updated in case that's all? All he asks is a cd or a floppy disk, but I thought you could ask to search for drivers online too?

  He even now breaks the game sounds too!

  Help, please

  If you access Windows Update (start - programs - Windows Update), you can
  see if there is a newer driver. The drivers are optional updates are not so made
  automatically.
   
  Download the driver for your audio hardware manufacturer (or motherboard if
  "It's built-in sound). They are often newer than Windows Update.
   
  This explains how to disable the improvements.

  Can I uninstall Media Player 12 and install media Player 11. I find Media Player 12 very complicated and difficult to use

  You can run Media Player 11 using the XP Mode if the version of Windows that you are using is XP compatible Mode, but I do not recommend. I suggest you take a peek at Media Player 12 willing and read a little bit about it, it's not that complicated:

• ActiveX: Open a separate window of Windows Media Player 9 and control playback

  Hey all,.

  I'm trying to open a video in WMP4 automatically in Labview and control. There is an existing ActiveX container, but it remains on the front panel. I can control its playback, but can not pause and resume.

  I can also open the video in a window outside of LabView through Labview WMP9, but I was not able to control. Simply run it and then watch until it ends. It is the preferred operation, I need to understand.

  LabView version: 8.6

  ActiveX application: Windows Media Player 4

  OS: Windows XP

  My questions are:

  (a) how to pause and resume a video file, if you use the ActiveX with LabView container ensures

  (b) how could I access an instance outside WMP open through LabView playback controls (because I want to automate reading based on acquired signals)

  Note that the ActiveX refnum is WMP4 while the version on XP is WMP9.

  Thanks in advance for your help,

  Hasan

  I had trouble with your application. I don't know if it's
  my version of LabVIEW or something else. He will not play for me.

  I would like to direct you to the following thread:

• Just installed update for Windows Media Player 11 and now, all the songs I had in my library before the update, I get the message you need a license to play these songs.

  These songs have been copied to my computer from the CD that I bought at retail, and have played several times.  Is there a process where they can be reinstated? I don't know if it's the right word, but I hate having to download individual licenses for these songs. And why doesn't IE throw me on the internet as soon as the download license screen happens?  Do I have to uninstall the update?

  Hello

  1. What is the exact error message you get?
  2. what version of Internet Explorer you are using?
  3. do you have an error message when Internet Explorer throws you off the screen?

• My recently downloaded Windows Media Player 11 play dvd, audio cd and cd rom, but will not recognize two photos of the dvd which have been able to acknowledge by Media Player 10 and record of the Explorer Windows-with some difficulty

  1. Windows Media Player 10 has opened a photo successfully dvd but a message "Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close" came on the screen several times.  Had to re insert the dvd picture, but it would open again each time.
  2. Tried the cd drivers and troubleshooting dvd and was informed of my dvd could not be played because there was no decoder for dvd.  Following instructions and chose a windows xp approved decoder pack download - dvd has chosen the Roxio CinePlayer DVD Decoder Pack.
  3. Then upgraded the media player to Windows Media Player 11.
  4. After that, dvd and cd rom could be opened by the media player 11, but neither the DVD or cd ROM readers would recognize the photo DVD in question had been inserted into one of these discs, and even less to be opened by the media player.
  5. Program scanner and photo used to transfer my photos printed digitally on a dvd are trademarks of Hewlett-Packard.  Contact the center of the photo, but they could not provide me with any guidance or even particular HP photo program they used to create the dvd picture.  I remember the photos were stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11.

  "" I remember well, the pictures are stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11 ""

  Looks like you have a data dvd, which has just the pictures on it and it will not be seen by WMP, who needs a dvd-video disc.

  It should always open in windows Explorer and you should be able to see your pictues it.

• Can I uninstall Windows Media Player 12 and reinstall in Windows 7 Professional

  I found a fix you guys thank you earlier, but the corrupted files are still there as someone amended to follow something. Files that has not changed with the fix it guy are applications wmpshare 100 KB; wmpconfig 100KB; Wmplayer 161KO. There is no shortcut, but I go to the menu and click on it and takes me to the location of the files that is now different instead of the type pathname %.  Installers has complete control of the confidence of all this I can not change the permissions either. Cannot even remove these files and the interesting things are WMP is not listed in the menu of programs to alter repair uninstall so it cannot be uninstalled anyway. I disable it in functionality, but that it disabled just when I enabled it today, it was the same until the fix. And now I don't remember which arises or what I was doing, but he said a new version of WMP is installed on your computer, you cannot use an old facility to repair your... I forgot, but I took a snip of it:

  This is what arises, I guess that when I clicked on the application of wmpconfig so I'm stuck in this media Bermuda triangle which is sync all my readers as devices to program flash cannot go down of their. And my HotSpot Android 4 g phone that I use as access point for internet. WMP which is synchronized to the library. All my flash drives now phone are synchronized in that library and it cannot play music. It grabs all my videos, photos and don't have the music. It's crazy.

  So now I answer to my own question (s) it is impossible to uninstall

  When I said there is a newer version already installed but I can't. Also up-to-date Flash Player service is stopped and does not let me start I guess because WMP is jacked or pirated, ha.  What can I do? I don't want to do a RESTORE of the SYSTEM cuz it's back in July 6, 2014.  Well I hope someone knows how to handle this cuz it affects a lot of other little things that are not so little for me.

• C00D0FF4 error message when you try to share the media in the Player Windows Media Player 11 and Vista Home Premium SP2 64-bit

  Hello
  I can't share my media using WMP 11.  When I try to do, opens a window of options asking how I want to share media files (with xbox, other users, etc.), and I select the options and click OK.  Then, when I return in the sharing of multimedia files to see if the media are indeed shared, a window opens informing me "Media sharing has been disabled because a required Windows setting or component has been changed. For any additional help, click Help on the Web. When I click Web help, the error code above, with a few troubshooting not.  You must ensure that Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service is turned on.  However, when I get to the list of Services, WMP Network Sharing is not.  It is also a step to confirm the ownership of a registry subkey.  When I try to access the subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences\HME\ [security ID], however, there is no security ID subkey.  Instead of that, by virtue of the MCH, there is a list of "default (name), REG_SZ (type) and not the value (data)".

  Suggestions about how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.  Would it be useful to simply uninstall WMP and start over?  If so, how to do that?  I saw an obvious way to do it.
