• Windows Media Player 11 has STOPPED WORKING... XP AND Vista problems

  I have a home network with computers XP and Vista.   Computer XP is Dell Dimension 4600.  Vista computer is HP Pavilion Slimline.

  On or about 6/10, WMP 11 on the Vista computer has stopped working properly.  Video will not play digital video (mpeg format), previously working but playing the audio from the file and the timer updates the video plays.

  Attempt to update the codecs (K-Lite).  Didn't help... now, the native multimedia player K-Lite is the same way.

  Deleting updates 6/10 and later versions.  No change.

  System restore of flowing it at 6/9, 6/5, 6/4.  Restoration is back with "unexpected error".  The logs show a NTFS corrupted and suggested chkdsk run.  Filled with chkdsk c: /R with NO ERRORS.

  Ran SFC/scannow on Vista machine.  He said "no violation of integrity.

  Today (6/14), WMP 11 on XP machine has stopped working.  Videos will be running, but are extremely hectic, like something, it's stealing time CPU; However, the system idle process is higher than 90%.

  What the hell is happening?

  EDIT TO add: I want to stress something else... Movie Maker on both machines still work.  Videos can be imported into and read correctly.

  I had things market... Finally.

  I have none of the above.  I do not have the installation diskettes (OEM on a computer HP... no disks provided with the machine, have only the recovery disks that I made when I configured the system).

  So until I went looking for a set of discs that I use, I did the following... and I * think * I know I could fix it, but I do not know...

  I have re installed the K-Lite codec pack... only of video codecs.  I essentially took the video installation by default EXCEPT... I turned off video acceleration.  Intel Express Chipset not allow me to disable hardware acceleration by using its own GUI and Windows Vista would not touch parameters of acceleration as Intel ordered to them.  Well, I suppose that K-Lite has been able to do what could not do Windows and Intel wouldn't let me do.

  Don't know if that was the fix or not, but everything works now.

• Windows Media Player 11 has stopped playing some of my MP3s. Any ideas on how to solve this?

  I have a desktop Dell Dimension running XP. I uninstalled Real Player and Rhapsody, just in case they were causing problems, but that did not work.

  Here is what I noticed:

  WMP plays still files were extracted a CD, the songs that were purchased from Amazon, but not:

  -The MP3s that have been purchased by third parties (for example, recordings of teleseminar I bought

  -Downloaded free MP3s (once again the teleseminar recordings)

  -WMA files that I downloaded (records of my seminars)

  All this has played before. I can't put my finger when he started, although I think that things started to get weird when I downloaded itunes months ago, but I don't remember this particular problem from this time.

  I searched the Web for similar positions, but found none.

  So... any suggestions would be most appreciated.

  Thank you very much
  David

  Hello OutbackDAL,

  Thank you for your message.  There is an option in iTunes to convert all the songs to the .aac format.  This might be the reason why you are not able to play in Media Player, because this format is not supported in Media Player 11.  Right click on one of the songs that can not play and check the format of the song.  If the song is the .aac format, you will need to convert it to another compatible format or .mp3.  If the song is already in a readable format, you can watch download or install a new Codec.  Sometimes, they have several players (that is to say real, Rhapsody, iTunes, etc.) can damage your Codec.  You can get the Windows Media Player Codec from the link below.

• The Windows media player 11 does not work correctly

  My windows media player 11 does not work properly

  whenever I go to open a video with it, it appears on the taskbar, you can here the sound, but the player himself does not appear on the destop

  I tried to reinstall the drive, and I get the same thing.

  If I go to roll back the player, add remove programs say it has been restored, but the media runtime in Add Remove programs won't disappear because it says that windows media player 11 is always there.

  Help

  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:
  KB Article ID: 947541 -Windows Media Player stops responding after you install a third-party product that registers its own version of the Wmp.dll file

  Please reply back and let us know if this can help.

  System was working fine 1 day and then bam... error messages began to appear.  I can always go into Media Center and listen to music or watch recorded shows.  I just can't watch TV or record something again.   I checked the Device Manager - material and everything works fine. Need help please...   Thank you.

• Receive the error "Windows Media Center Receiver Service stopped working and was closed" after the video card replaced

  I have a HP computer with Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) Service Pack 2.  He has a VISX PureTV tuner card and already had an NVidia GeForce 8400 graphics card.  This Setup has worked well for 2.5 years until what the graphics card died last week.  It has been replaced with an ATI Radeon HD3450 and both all Windows updates have made current.  Since that time, the TV tuner did not work.

  When you sign in to an account, it gives the error message "Windows Media Center Receiver Service stopped working and was closed".  I can use Media Center to watch the recorded video before, but if I try to watch live TV he hangs up and close Media Center.  If I try to configure the TV connection in Media Center it tells me that there is no tuner card.

  I looked at the map and see no problem and I tried it back in place.  He has the most up to date drivers (so does the new Radeon graphics btw).  I tried "Uninstall" in the Manager of devices and then put it back, but it was not good.

  "Windows Media Center Receiver Service Stopped Working and was closed" I tried all the fixes I've seen this error.

  I tried all the things I saw here and elsewhere related to this issue.  I did a "clean boot" with all non-Windows services and the disabled startup process.  He always did the same thing and gave the same mistakes.  It seems to be linked to a Windows service, and I hesitate to begin deactivation to track down.

  I ran 'sfc' in mode 'cmd' and he found no problem and none of the files to be fixed or could not fix.

  In the list of services, I changed the login for "Windows Media Center Receiver Service" to "Local System account", Local Service, Network Service and individual accounts, but no permits.

  I'm afraid I'm at the point of having to reload the Vista, but I don't know how to do this and want to avoid at all costs.  I don't have the recovery disks and software.  Is this enough?  Can I reinstall from the recovery disks without wiping everything aft of the configuratiion with which it was delivered?  I guess personal files will be OK (although I don't know this for sure), but I'm afraid I'll have to reinstall other applications, my family has developed over time and perhaps lose the media protected by DRM licenses.

  Someone has encountered anything like this or have any suggestions?

  Well, I finally stumbled into the solution.  It was caused by a conflict with another application.

  A few weeks before the card failure I had installed a program called video capture Replay Video Capture that I had bought a few months ago and never used.  However, at this time where everything including the TV tuner and Media Center worked well that's why I associate the problem with this software.  The problem comes after the system is rebooted the first time after installation.  In my case, it has not been rebooted until a few weeks later as part of the recovery of the fault of the graphics card.  Suddenly, the TV tuner did not work and I get the error messages mentioned in this title of the thread.

  I was at the end of my rope with this and was just to clean your system to do a reformat and reinstallation.  I uninstalled the Replay Videa Capture program to move it to another computer, and when you restart the computer I noticed that the error message disappeared.  Of course I went to the Media Center and could set up my TV tuner card and watch television.

  Looking for some info on this conflict, I found the following. (http://forum.applian.com//showthread.php?847-Conflicts-between-RVC-and-XP-Media-Center-OS&s=c0aec9897b51d550c47b919e73e59bfc)  It is difficult to say who is at fault in the present.  I'm sure that Microsoft accuses Applian for the encoder to mpeg (mcm2ve.ax) used in Replay Video Capture, while Applian says that the problem is a Windows process (ehrec.exe) that works all the time, hogging the tuner on the system device.  According to Applian other products similar to theirs have this conflict as well due to the process of Windows.

  Fortunately, there is a solution in this case.  Applian has released a new version of Replay Video Capture (version 4.2) that uses a different mpeg encoder and eliminates the problem.  Given the surprising lack of info about it on the Microsoft Web site, I wonder how many other people with this unresolved issue dealing with the same thing as me.  If you're like me and you don't usually need to reboot your PC for a few weeks at a time, you may never know to associate the problem with the application.  What a waste countless hours trying to diagnose, and most disconcerting, that's what I was about to go through a reformat and reinstall because of this.

  Thought I'd post here my problem resolution in the hope that it might help someone else.

• Media Player Classic suddenly stopped working

  Well, after the last update of the operating system, Media Player Classic has stopped running. Whenever I am trying to open a file, it gives an error that the program has stopped running. Vista offers to download the new version of it - then just out of curiosity, I tried and new version did not work at all either. It was obvious. So what's happened and what should I do to get it working again? I know there are many other programs use it as well but I like this one, and I would really like to continue to use it. And certainly, I don't like that updates break programs and drivers.

  Hi Riksu,

  Media player classic is a third party application and Microsoft is not aware of the mode of operation.  You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the codecs and check if it works.

  If it doesn't work then you will need to contact the manufacturer for assistance.

• Error "Adobe Media Core CS6 has stopped working".

  I had the first 11 elements, Photoshop Elements and LR 4 installed for over a year on my Windows 7 computer. Over the past couple months, minutes to turn on my computer, I get an error that Adobe Media Core CS6 has stopped working. It seems that this could be linked to the first, but I was not able to find a solution. This happens even if I didn't run one of my installed programs. Any suggestions what is causing this and how to fix it?

  I hadn't saved the files detail earlier today (it seems that they disappear on a reboot), but made a stop/start there is little time and had a relapse again. (Although two subsequent cycles has not generated the error.) I saved the files and the .xml file specifies the parent process has been organizing of 11 items this time, no LR4.

  I lived with this problem for a while, one of the set of sets of files recorded error was 5: 1. I don't remember for sure if it was the first occurrence of the error, but I decided to look for other installed programs just before that time. I see that Adobe Creative Cloud has been installed the day before, 4/30. I do not how/why that was installed since I have no product of cloud. Also installed 4/30 were three files Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, which show the installation time a minute before the installation of creative cloud, so I guess they are part of the installation of cloud. The next most recent installed program (before 5/1) was Smith Micro Anime Studio Pro 9.5, which was installed on 4/29.

  The firewall settings have not changed. I was in a conversation with my ISP when the problem occurred this afternoon, but not during the last occurrence. I remember no updates since 6/24. I think that the error everytime I started my previous changes to firewall computer, but it seems to be more sporadic now.

  I'll see what I can find tomorrow since it's getting late. I wanted to get it all the way until I lost my thoughts.

  Last updated 7/5:

  I have more information, but still no solution.

  I found this thread that adobe Media Core CS6 has stopped working , associated with the same error, but he had no solution. The error occurred when I left the PS Elements or Premiere Elements as it has done for that person.

  I also found Adobe media base cs6 not working anymore...? and I tried the steps to rebuild the preferences file in the editor of Photoshop Elements, but without success.

  I noticed that Adobe Creative Cloud has been installed the day before, so I uninstalled. Always error.

  I installed another firewall (Zone Alarm Free) and disabled Windows Defender error persists.

  Uninstalled Anime Studio Pro (which had been installed a few days before, always error.

  I'll give you more updates as I try more changes.

  Update 7/20:

  I tried more things:

  Fixed quicktime via Control Panel, has not set

  Uninstalled quicktime, error does not recur

  I noticed that there is a plug-ins folder in the folder of quicktime, so I've renamed it.

  Reinstalled quicktime from the Apple site on 7/12 and the CS6 error has not re-emerged.

  Info additional non directly related to the initial question, is produced later.

  I don't think it's connected, but a few days later started having a small window MFC CTxfiHlp empty at windows startup. I've yet to resolve who, but it is related to my his Creative XFi card.

  I also noticed when I reinstalled Anime Studio Pro that the readme file contains a warning that windows 64-bit is not compatible quicktime; that I have to use the 32-bit version of their software.

  I installed the latest software version of the Creative sound card, but began to have blocking problems. Still working on it, but the original problem seems to be resolved.

  The only other thing I can think is that the iTunes software had been installed, but I removed it. It is possible that caused a problem with quicktime?

  In any case, the removal of quicktime (including Plug-Ins) and re - install has solved my problem.

• Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working

  Is a general Vista problem and also a general problem of Thinkpad, but it has what I feel to be a frequency among the W500s so I thought to post it here.

  In recent weeks, I got this error (Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working) several times. A lot of googleing will tell you that it can be caused by a number of things, for example other video programs, Nero burning software, video codecs and burning software and the ATI catalyst control center.

  For me, uninstalling the ATI catalyst control center and the rest of the correction of the error of video card drivers. Resettlement has reduced. Uninstall them and then only by reinstalling the driver first, then check catalytic Center later after another reboot all reinstalled successfully and also got rid of the error.

  However, two days ago I updated my lenovo Power Manager and after the next restart, I started getting this error again. I tried the trick with video drivers, but this time I was not so lucky. Uninstall them completely is not even get rid of the error. I think only it is the new power manager I uninstalled everything and somehow got rid of the error.

  I'm about to reinstall the power manager and I hope he's not bring error.

  Another thing, I found that can cause this error:

  I'd just do a fresh install of vista and lenovo apps + Manager supply and everything worked. Since I never use the optical drive, I went to the Device Manager and disabled, which gave me the error Rundll32.exe about 60 seconds later, and this caused again Manager power to stop working, even after that it recharges.

  I finally understand that disabling my optical drive Springs somehow this error on me which then also stops Power Manager. The optical drive from the reactivation got rid of the error immediately.
