• Windows Media Player 11 will not play video

  Windows Media Player 11 will not play DVD-video or video files from a SD card.  I tried several update codec options, but none were successful, including the option offered by Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx?displang=en).  Windows tells me that a more recent update has been installed and refuses to go forward.

  ·         The DVD I get recognized by the computer?

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  In the meantime, you can try to reduce hardware acceleration, and see if it resolves the problem. (Only if your video card supports hardware acceleration)

  a. open the screen resolution by clicking on the Start button, click Control Panel, and then under appearance and personalization, click adjust screen resolution.

  b. click on settings Advanced , the Troubleshooting tab and then click change settings.

  c. move the hardware acceleration slider toward none to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.

• 1: 0x80042318__2 system restore error: Windows Media Player 11 will not work open__3: Internet Explorer 8 crashes when opening.

  I have these three questions of program after reinstallation of Windows Vista and tried (mostly unsuccessful) using Windows Easy Transfer to move and reinstall my programs and files. My computer had some problems before start, (it would be almost always gives me the blue screen at startup and go into Startup Repair). The Startup Repair wouldn't fix anything and just lose about 20 minutes of my time. Finally, he wouldn't even load at all and the Startup Repair did not help so I decided to reinstall Windows Vista. It worked perfectly until what stupidly, I decided to try and use Windows easy transfer if everything goes well "to" my programs this new copy of Windows Vista.

  So now my questions are: Windows Media Player 11 does not open. I don't see a thumbnails of videos that would open with Windows Vista either. Oddly, although I can use Windows Media Center very well. I also installed Quicktime player and it seems to work perfectly.
  It was not catastrophic but especially a gene. I use VLC player to manage most of my videos very well, but love using WMP before.

  Second: I can't create restore points at all. Once I try, I get this error message:
  "The restore point could not be created for the following reason:
  An error was detected in the copy Service VSS (Volume Shadow). The problem occurred while trying to connect with the VSS writers. Please check the event system service and the VSS service are running and look for errors related to event logs. (Ox80042318) Please try again. »

  Finally, for some reason any after the transfer, eventually after Internet Explorer automatically updated it will completely freeze when I open it. This is for me the prompt to open the session previously was crushed, and if I try that or close the dialog to open just the home page, it will freeze completely, even the blue circle next to the name of the tab to load.
  Fortunately, I have Firefox and Google Chrome installed, both work very well.

  Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not entirely fretting on IE8 and WMP 11 but I feel really that less stressed if I know that I have a System Restore Point in case my previous numbers start to happen again.

  Here are my system specs, in case that dans le cas ou c' est is somehow useful.

  Do you have these problems if you for testing purposes create a new user?

  Other things you can try after trying the suggestions "Sreenkanth T" is to run the ChkDsk program.

  Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click on your drive icon / properties / tools / error checking.  Try first by checking do not each box (that it will run in read-only mode) to see if it reports any problems file or hard drive.  If so, restart it by checking both boxes and restart to allow him to attempt to fix any problems found

  Windows Easy Transfer moves not installed third-party programs on the whole, he does that move their settings, your files and settings Windows.

  As you have just reinstalled Vista, where were your old programs and files (on which machine) when you used Windows Easy Transfer, you still have access to them?

  You have to maybe do the reinstall once more but forget your settings and just manually copy all of your data?  This way you will give you restart with no old parameters of any other machine?

  You can also consult the third-party program (costs a little money), but he can move everything, including the programs installed.

• Windows Media Player 12 will not play mp4, mp3, wmv files through IIS hosted local site when the PC is disconnected from the Internet

  I have an IIS Web site 6.1 on local 32-bit Windows 7 machine that serves HTML and MP4 videos via Internet Explorer on the local computer.  An internet connection is not necessary because it is all local storage and local accommodations through IIS.  IIS is configured to serve the MP4 videos in the form of downloadable files, don't not streaming somehow.  I have the right MIME type ".mp4" with the installation of "video/mp4" in the IIS server, so I don't think that's the problem.

  When the machine is connected to the internet, by clicking on a video link MP4 in any HTML page served by the local IIS server results in Windows Media Player opening and playing the video in its own window.  However, when the Ethernet cable is unplugged, by clicking on the same results of video link MP4 in Windows Media Player by opening its own window, and then display this error message:

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file.  If the file is on the Internet, connect to the Internet.  If the file is on a removable storage card, insert the storage card.

  It's almost as if Windows Media Player has a bug and since it accesses this media file via a URL, but the machine is not connected to a network, he thinks that this file is unplayable.

  When the Ethernet cable is disconnected, the local IIS server is still all the HTML code and ActiveX content except for media files.  I also tried to access MP3 and WMV files via the IIS server to see if Windows Media Player will open those when the computer is disconnected from the Internet.  These caused also Windows Media Player files display the same error message.

  I tried the VLC (VideoLAN) Player after changing the property file in VLC of WMP for .mp4 files extension.  With VLC installed and the extension changed to VLS property, I can download/open the MP4 video using the link in the web page served by IIS all when they are disconnected from the internet.  The only thing I can't do is get VLC player to open and play the video simply by clicking on the link in Internet Explore web pages served by the local IIS server.

  I would like to make use of Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player with this IIS server that serves the MP4 videos rather than using VLC player.

  Thank you

  Michael Rayman

  I finally found the answer to my problem:

  When they are disconnected from the internet, mysteriously, Windows Media Player 12 requires that you check a checkbox in tools > Options... > zone settings tab player called "Internet connection (ignore the other commands).  Once this box is checked and the settings saved on APPLY, then Windows Media Player 12 will play videos served by the local IIS server on the same machine, while disconnected from the Internet.

• Windows Media Player 12 will not play or burn music CDs!

  Running Windows 7 Home Premium-Windows Media Player will play a DVD but will not play an audio CD, which begs the question: why it does not burn the CD using Roxio Burn (which just sits there doing nothing) just like WMP 12.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and suggestions in this forum, but nothing is done.  Microsoft has really any solution of constantly failing to player?  In addition, reinstalled my computer back to the State factory and Media Player STILL will NOT play or burn music CD.  Hello, Microsoft, I would rather download Media Player 11, which at least has worked, so tell me how to get that back.  Thank you.

  Are normally given CD detected?
  If not, the problem is probably with the drive itself - CD and DVD is access differently if we wouldn't necessarily affect each other.

• the Windows media player 12 will not play 3gp (from mobile phone) with sound files

  I have windows 7 media player 12 and when the videos are downloaded from phone video shows but with no sound. Have all the updates so far I know. Turn windows media player

  12.0.7600.16415

  Hi vett82ce, 

  You will need a codec to play the video file. A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use the codec to play and create digital media files.

  You can check the link to see the guidelines on the issue below:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

  You can use the link provided below and check if you get the necessary codec to download depending on the type of file, you try to play.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

  You can also use your favorite search engine to download and install a codec based on the file type, you must use.

  NOTE- Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• Windows Media player 12 will not play .avi files

  Original title: Media Player 12

  I have WMP12 on my windows 7 and never had a problem 2 days ago. Now I can't play video files, it seems to be only the .avi files. When I click on it I get a message saying that windows media player has stopped working and is looking for a solution. Some of these files, I had some time and always played using WMP12 without problems. It will play everything, MP4, MP3, audio books simply not excerpts from movies avi, I looked for updates, codec & addons, nothing helps, any suggestions

  I already have VLC that I use for the .mkv files, but I prefer WMP it has better quality image and sound. I downloaded the codecs from the link you gave me, (Combined-Community-Codec-Pack-2013-08-01) and installed it. Yay it worked. Thank you very much

• Windows Media Player 12 will not open or read CD/DVD

  Excuse me, I know that I posted earlier but I accidentally hit the wrong button and it says has answered my question and it was not. I had a virus on my computer and it was cleaned professionally. Now my windows media player will not open. He also will not play a cd/dvd or existing music files on my computer. The icon appears on the screen, but nothing happens when I try to open it. I can't do a system restore because there is nothing to restore, my computer was completely wiped out. Someone suggested this below "Disable media features" reboot and then turn on again. I tried already with no luck. I'm also totally updated everything I could find to put on my computer up-to-date.

  1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

  2. click on programs and features.

  3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

  4. look for the entry called multimedia features and extend it by using the symbol. +.

  5. uncheck the box for Windows Media Player.

  6. click on OK.

  7 restart the PC.

  8. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

  9. click on programs and features.

  10. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

  11 look for the entry called multimedia features and to extend it using the symbol +.

  12. check the box for Windows Media Player.

  13. click on OK.

  14. restart the PC.

  I was afraid of that - "Configuration parameters can be set wrongly."

  On google, there are a few reports of this error message and I couldn't find any that it is resolved. I hope that someone else will be "the chip" with a solution. I'm sorry.

  There are some media player FixIt who might want to try (I have not had your specific problem and Ive not run the FixIt so can't say for sure).

  You can try things like a SFC/scannow , that can help, but I doubt it. I guess it depends on what the virus.

  You could check that the virus is actually went in downloading, installing, free update (update in the Admin) and running a scan with Malwarebytes , but if it was 'cleaned professionally"should be deleted. But unfortunately things that his attack can still be altered.

  You could try a test, to create a new user account 'test' and the connection through that to see if WMP works from this account. for example, it can be your user profile that has been damaged. If this account works WMP then migrate your data everywhere...

  If all goes well, a WMP expert will come to the rescue.

• Windows Media Player 11 will not files play.wmv

  I am running XP SP3, updated with all the current patches. Current AE 8.0.6. Just upgraded to WMP 11 from WMP 9 and now it won't play my .wmv old movie files. Instead, he plays them in something called "ActiveMovie window', as I understand is part of the application of IE now. I tried the "Apply media information changes" button in the menu TOOLS in WMP 11 without effect. WMP 11 is called upon to play .wmv files (Types of files are by default: select all). And in OPTIONS for FILES, TYPES OF files, the .wmv extension is set to open and play with Windows Media Player, not IE or any other program (e.i. QuickTime).

  WMP 11 play .mpeg as usual files.

  Can find little information about the ActiveMovie window, except that it is now an integral part of the IE. What happens here?

  In WMP on your profile, go to Tools - Options- Performance (press Ctrl + M, if you don't see the Tools menu) and click on restore by default . Who help me? Tim Baets

• Windows Media Player 12 will not reinstall, corrupt the file 'mpvis.dll.mui '.

  I'm trying to fix Windows Media Player 12 without success.

  I tried 'turned on' and 'off' Windows Media Player via "Turn Windows features on or off"-there did not work.  It will not fix the problem, and I think I know why.

  I ran sfc/scannow from the cmd prompt gives me the following in the CBS.log log error message:

  [RS] Could not reproject corrupted file [ml:520 {260}, l:106 {53}] '------? \C:\Program files (x 86) \Windows Media Player\en-US "------[l:26 {13}] 'mpvis.dll.mui '; source file in the store is also corrupted

  I just took the 'ownership' of the file and replaced by a different copy on another hard drive that worked.  I have the journal and if the information is needed to solve this problem I'll post here apart from the above error message.

  Attempt to run Windows Media player only gives me the error message:

  "Window Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled.  You want to install the player from the Microsoft website? »

  I 'want' install the player on MS website, but they do not offer this possibility because it is nowhere available for download.  I have to say I am frustrated by this situation and I would like to know why MS decided to make this hassle to reinstall a program properly.

  I guess that's the only option.
