Windows Media Player 12 does not work after you choose the initial settings

Hello
I tried to use windows media player 12 on my computer laptop windows 7 and it won't work. It worked the first time and I chose my settings, but it would not open the player itself. I tried to do it on the guest account, but it's the same thing. Does anyone know how to fix this? -Chris

My post was actually in response to JRTLOVER:

Why we cannot uninstall and reinstall from the CD just Media Player... or is there a way to fix this?

I have seen that it was already proposed earlier in this topic, my apologies.

Regarding your problem, have you tried to launch directly executable WMP? To do this, click Start, type wmplayer.exe in the search box and press ENTER.

You should also check if WMP is already running: start the task (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Manager, look for one or more elements called wmplayer.exe on the process tab, select each item and then click end process , then try to start WMP again.

    Hello rockys_rod,

    To fix it, simply remove your old library files. Then have Windows Media Player find your new files. It will not destroy your music files.

    How to get WMP to re - index your music:

    1. close Microsoft Media Player.
    2. click on Start and then run
    3. in the box, type the following:
    [list] %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player

    4. click on OK and a folder containing your library files will be displayed
    5. delete all files ending with .wmdb
    6. open Microsoft Media Player
    7. press F3
    8. Select the addresses of your music files
    9 WMP will re-index your music.

    If this does not help, try the FixIt in the article below:

  • Why not Windows Media Player 11 does not recognize w4a files in the library list more.

    I have Windows XP Pro (SP3) with Windows Media Player 11. I had a virus wipe my hard drive (everything has been updated) and after reinstalling and updating everything, it no longer recognizes the w4a files, but it automatically plays them the OMP 11 if I click on the file in Windows Explorer.

    Before the accident, all the files on my computer w4a was included in the library. Now the entire albums, as well as individual songs are missing. In fact, now NO w4a file is listed. So my question is, why does Windows Media Player 11 recognize the w4a files?

    Neil

    Hello

    Method 1: I suggest you try the steps from the link below and check if it helps.

    a. close Windows Media Player.
    b. find the file of database on the computer that contains the entries of your library. In general, the library database file (CurrentDatabase_219.wmdb) is located in the following directory:
    (Drive :) Users/xxx(the user name)/Appdata/local/Microsoft/Media Player
    c. right click on the file and then click Rename.
    d. rename the file by changing its file .bak extension.
    e. start the player. When you do so, a new database of library file is created.
    f. press F3 on your keyboard to open the add to Library dialog box search for computers.
    g. click the Browse button to search for a folder on your computer that contains digital media files. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.
    h. click on the search button.
    The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder you specify and add to your library. If you have your files and playlists stored in different folders on your computer, you may need to search for files several times, by specifying a different folder every time.

    Method 2:
    You may need to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player.
    Here's how:
    To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
    a. exit Windows Media Player.
    b. Click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.
    c. Select all files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
       Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
    d. restart Windows Media Player.
    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  • Re: Portege R500: controller button does not work after you install the update

    After you have installed the latest version of Toshiba Value added Package, the two buttons (toshiba assist, and backlight power) do not work properly: they open instead a window of Firefox.

    I guess there is something to configure in the section "Optimizing" Toshiba Assist.
    When I open the program "Toshiba buttons functions" (sorry for the puny, Spanish translation, it is called: "functions of Toshiba botones") all entries are empty and I have to enter the Url of the program supposed to turn off the backlight of the screen of my LCD...
    I have no idea where to find this executable.

    Can someone help me?

    Why you n t use the OS restore option?
    The operating system supports the option of system restore and this helps to put the system in the previous point.

    Check, maybe it helps to get the old version of the Toshiba Package Value added.

    so, there is a signal of cameraResourceReleased which you can listen to that will tell you that the camera has been arrested.

    After that, you can restart the viewfinder after your application is in the foreground.

    We have a corner case that we are still working on what centers around the case when the screen starts to close (causing the camera to stop), but the user he wakes up before the browser tells your application in the background.  In this case, you may not receive a leading event.  You can probably work around this case by launching a timer and check, after a second or two, if the application has been deleted original or not... If it is still in the foreground, then you could try restart the viewfinder

    See you soon,.
