• Media Player will not stop playing when the close button is hit.

  My media player works fine until I try to close. When I watch a video clip, I make sure that I have 'stop' the clip before I "close" (the little red button with an X in it, which is suppose to close the program) the player or clip will continue to play in the background. If I brings up the Task Manager, it will display no programs running, I can still here the clip and I'm going to start > all programs > media player always plays the same clip. It is not suppose to do this right? If it is then how can I change so it 'close' media player?

  Hi major347,

  Thank you for writing to Microsoft answers Community Forums.

  This one seems to be really weird when you began experiencing this problem?

  You have a connected PDA that uses the media player? Sometimes Windows Mobile Device Center has been continuously the reactivation of WMP.

  Another possible issue of the keyboard that you use may control the media player. There are known of the problem with the Logitech keyboard software. Try this if you have a Logitech software update.

  Try to open the Task Manager is trying to kill the wmpsideshowgadget.exe process and check if it shutsdown.

  If it works there, then, open the CONTROL PANEL

  Double-click WINDOWS SIDESHOW

  Uncheck everything that has to do with WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER

  You can also try to disable sharing in media player click on... Tools-> Options-> library-> configure share-> uncheck the two 'media find others to share' & "share my media".

  Check if it works.

  If all the above fails try to perform the clean boot

• Windows Media Player does not detect files in the music folder

  Original title: why Windows Media Player NOT showing my music?

  So I recently got myself a new laptop, with Windows 7 Home Premium on it.

  I copied my music to my desktop PC (also Windows 7) folder to the new laptop.

  All the files are there in my user folder music, however, Windows Media Player absolutely refuse to recognize their existence and will NOT add them to your own library. If I navigate to the folder of the album, select a track or multiple tracks and use the context menu to perform them, which works without problem - WMP will play files.

  I checked that the right folder belongs to the library.

  The photos that I copied in the same way everywhere appear correctly in the 'Images' of WMP library.

  After searching on the internet for answers, I came across three very common solutions either on their own or a combination of seems to work for most people:

  (1) removing all THE folders in the music library, then add the. This has no effect.

  (2) will "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player" and delete the entire contents of this folder, or the folder itself. Note that if stop/start no matter which drive Windows Media services also had no effect.

  (3) using the command line tool "attrib" to remove the attribute 'system' of all the files in the folder music.

  Anyone got any ideas that are NOT ALL OF THE above MENTIONED the ELEMENTS, which may be able to help here? Otherwise, I'll move to a slightly less fussy Media Player...

  In fact, as a result, that gave me an idea.

  I went to:
  C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries

  And delete the content of this (this will remove ALL your libraries!).

  Then, I used the option "restore default settings", which correctly restored by 4 default libraries. I then recreated both more personalized, I would like to have it.

  Having done this, WMP now seems add my music to his library as I type this...

  Hello

  I have Windows 7 Home Premium. I installed Pinnacle Studio 14 ultimate test. When the Pinnacle program works-

  b. when I rang a MPEG 2 file (720 p, 25 frames per second) OR a file m2t, Windows Media Player is not able to read the file and gives the error: "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when reading what he gives.

  c. when I close the program Pinnacle all right and WMP reads all of the above files correctly.

  I also recently installed and uninstalled Corel VideoStudio X 3 of the trial. First Adobe Elements 8 trial is also installed on the PC.

  I would be grateful yuour help solve the problem.

  Thank you

  Paresh

  Hello Paresh,

  The Pinnacle program is third party software that is causing the problem to occur. Pinnacle may be in conflict with your music files playing in Windows Media Player, that's why, I suggest you to contact pinnacle and check with them.

  Windows Media Player 12 is probably to use the codecs used by pinnacle, which may be the culprit.
