  Take note of the results of the System File Checker.  Then after you run the two, run Windows Update.

  You are able to update of AVG?
  Any other antivirus (i.e. Norton, McAfee, etc.) has already been installed on this computer?

• Windows Media Player does not allow me to update track information

  I have Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 8 running and when I try to update the titles of songs, artists, genre, etc.  updates do not change the actual files.  I tried everything I found previous discussions and it has not solved the problem.

  What I've done

  (1) run the Windows media player troubleshooting library and search for the question - when I run the utility troubleshooting that indicates that the database is corrupted and one erases / reconstructions it however the problem persists once the database is rebuilt.

  (2) disable and enable Windows media player using the features Windows power solution - no change to my question.

  (3) run the fixit from following link: Fix Windows Media Player videos and other media or from the library - this tool is not available for Windows 8

  (4) running %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then deleting all files, forcing Media Player to rebuild - worked for a very short time and then the same question. When I tried this fix the 2nd no time no change, I can't update the portion of my files.

  It's everything I could possibly find it please someone help me!

  Hi Jessica,.

  As with any database, the information that is stored in the database or the database itself can be damaged. The Windows Media Player library database can usually recover automatically from the database. However, the database may be corrupted in such a way that Windows Media Player is unable to recover the database.

  a. press the Windows key + run , type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player , and then click OK .
  b.Select allfiles in the folder and then clickdelete on the file menu.

  Note You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  c.restart Windows Media Player.

       Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files . To do this, follow these steps:

  # If you are runningWindows 8/8.1, press Windows key + run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click on OK.

  # Select thefolder Media Player and then click delete on the file menu.

  # Restart Windows Media Player .

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

• Firefox keeps blocking Java plugins, I've updated several times, but the problem persists "VLC media player Web Plugin 2.1.3" update now don't workr

  I've updated the VLC media player a dozen times in the last week or two, but it continues to not work, with a message from Firefox to come saying "Web PluginVLC Web Plugin 2.1.3 vulnerable 2.1.3.0 VLC media player update now". All other plugins seem to now, Firefox said recently that many of them had recently updated and all the others worked.
  Almost all the websites that I visit comes up with a message saying that the plugin is obsolete and has been blocked and I think maybe I should just give up Firefox and use another browser.

  Yes, it would be wise to delete this program VLC.

• How to uninstall and reinstall windows media player?

  I have a client who no longer get windows media player to recognize an external WD media player to synchronize instead of play.  The sync option is grayed out.  He has worked in the past and the player is recognized by another computer and synchronizes.  I think that a player reinstall would remedy this problem.  How do you do that since the media player cannot be uninstalled via the control panel?

  Hello

  Windows Media Player is part of the Vista operating system, and as such cannot be uninstalled, then reinstalled.

  You can borrow, if you do not already have one, a DVD of Microsoft Vista and do a repair upgrade Installation:

• HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC: Windows Media Player replacement

  I currently use Windows Media Player to play CDs, DVDs, BlueRay discs and for monitoring emissions of air with my unencrypted, i.e. without a cable box, to view TV shows, because I have a TV card installed by HP, and a digital antenna I bought at HP at the time wherever I bought my 5 year old laptop, which came with Windows 7.  This laptop also contains the HP MediaSmart software where I can also do similar things.

  I understand that if I switch to Windows 10, Windows Media Player will be uninstalled and I can no longer use Windows Media Player.  My HP MediaSmart software will still work in Windows 10?  I spent more than $3,000 for this laptop to be completely loaded.  I don't want to upgrade to Windows 10 if I use is more CD, DVD, Blue Ray disc, Aboriginal, TV etc...  I also bought this laptop so that I can also burn discs, this function will always be available.  If this is the case, what other players and burners are here for Windows 10?

  If there is no players free alternatives and burners or Windows 10 will not do what I paid to my original purchase with Windows 7, so there's no reason to switch to Windows 10.  This has been one of my main reasons for not upgrading to Windows 10.

  Please be aware that Windows Media Center will work no. LONGER on Windows 10.  Microsoft no longer supports Windows Media Center on Windows 10 then you won't be able to run it and record live shows and others.  Currently, Microsoft has not any replacement software to Windows Media Center so please keep this in mind when you are considering upgrading to Windows 10.

  If you like using Windows Media Center, the idea here is to not upgrade to Windows 10.
