Windows Media Player: "a CD player is necessary..." »
When I try to play a CD or click "rip" I get the message "the CD drive is required" or the CD won't play. This problem suddenly occurred.

If you guys tell me to check and make sure that the CD burner is connected; been there, done that.
If you guys tell me to uninstall the device, then reinstall; He does that
If you guys tell me to try new disks; summer it does this as well.
I lowered the burn speed ect.I did everything possible. I can burn a disc once or a little then next I get this error.
I still have to burn the disc from system restore and I fear for fear of getting this error. I think I have the external writer since bad things is a good idea to test things before putting.

I tried to hear an appeal of a Web conference. Received a message, necessary plug windows media. Check my plug ins, no windows media. Reading about firefox support tutorial. Clicked on download. Had a window that requires repair or change. Tried to fix it and then change. Need better guidance on how to finish download. Download the message passed, but after firefox closing and re-opening, no still no plug-in for windows media in the list of plug-ins. Go to site and could not hear Conference.
Reading support forum. Message while using about: config. Tried, typed in on: config in Start menu, but do not see anything that looked like I could change for real like message said.
solved by opening internet explore and go to the website and listen to the conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying: If you want to enable media player click here. Not so heard Conference.
Tried using chrome. You have to listen to the Conference yesterday. Today, he had the same message you need to plug in when I tried to follow the instructions in connect, it was just as confusing and useless like firefox. Most is that I tried to make any statement in the suggestions forum for firefox and can not get the windown media connect to appear in my list of plug-ins and can not hear calls for conference on firefox.
Chrome said that they worked on connect available to the chrome store.
I agree with the comments that I was able to go to web sites and to hear the calls before firefox did an update that removed my windows media plug. The fix simple download, two from windows, does not, apparently because firefox cannot find the fix. This isn't for lack of user, and it seems that windows attempted to provide a fix, and firefox does not recognize.
Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, that trying to get windows connect multimedia player installed on firefox. What is a browser, if you can not hear an appeal on the Web site the browser will take you to? Please make it easy install windows media branch on firefox. Thank you..If you get the screen to change/repair, it means that the Setup program has detected that you have already installed the plugin.
Do you not see the file here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins
Its file name is: np - mswmp.dll
If the file is missing, I suggest to delete and then reinstall the plugin.
Edit: By removing and then reinstalling I mean using the delete button under the modification and repair buttons in the Setup program, and then run Setup to reinstall.

Codecs for MP4 (Windows Media Player)
I downloaded videos with my Windows Media Player 11. But now I get a message that my drive does not support MP4 extensions. I tried to get the codecs I need and ended up with some other flash drives. How can I install the codec for the necessary codec for Windows Media Player?
Hello Janet,.
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community and we give the opportunity to help you.
The file format MPEG-4, as defined by the MPEG-4 specification, contains encoded MPEG-4 video and audio content encoded AAC Advanced Audio Coding. He usually uses the .mp4 extension.
Windows Media Player does not support playback of the .mp4 file format.
You can reproduce .mp4 media files in Windows Media Player when you install the decoders compatible DirectShow MPEG-4 packs. MPEG-4 compatible DirectShow decoders packs include the Ligos LSX-MPEG Player and the EnvivioTV player.

Windows Media Player makes calls of NOR-fast Motion (Revisited)
About 2 years ago, I posted a message on this forum about a condition where running Windows Media Player increased the rate that my Visual Basic 6 program has been able to contact a PCI-7344 Panel using calls OR-Motion (original post). To summarize the post, my VB program be called functions OR-Motion speed after that the computer is started and simply in the process of running Windows Media Player would allow my program make calls of NOR-faster Motion. I created a program demo, posted and was able to reproduce the situation constantly using several different computers & cards PCI-7344. However, no one at National Instruments could reproduce that; It seems that the calls function always ran fast for them and never ran slowly. I finally gave up and let the issue of dying and said reluctantly, our customers just start WMP to increase the speed of the machine.
Now, I'm working on rewriting the software to the machine using VB.NET 2008 and Windows 7. My first hope was that the problem had gone with either the new VB, or Windows 7, but that doesn't seem to be the case. When I was with Windows XP, I could get recall for an improvement of the functions running WMP. With Windows 7, I can not get the increased rate even after the execution of WMP.
Today, I took two new computers identical and loaded Windows XP on Windows 7 and one on the other. I put a new PCI-7344 card in each computer. I then installed version 8.2 of NO-Motion on each. With the exception of Microsoft .NET 3.5, which is necessary for my test VB.NET program, no other software has been installed, do not even Visual Basic. I started on each PC, ran my test program to determine the calls/sec, start Windows Media Player and my test program is represented. Here are the results:
Test Windows XP & VB 6 program-128/s before launching WMP, 1024 Kbps after the execution of WMP
Test of Windows XP & VB.NET 2008-128/s before WMP program, 1024 Kbps after WMP
VB 6-256 calls/s before launching WMP, 256 Kbps calls after execution of WMP and Windows 7 test program
Windows 7 test program and VB.NET - 256 Kbps calls before you launch WMP, 256 Kbps calls after execution of WMP
As you can see, WMP has increased the rate of call of function OR-Motion on Windows XP, but has no effect in Windows 7. In addition, it did not matter which version of Visual Basic has been used.
My first question is: what determines the rate at which he called on a NOR-Motion function? It seems that the maximum is 1024/s, which is consistent with what I saw 2 years ago even on slower computers. I would have thought that would be a faster PC function calls could also be made faster, but appears not to be the case. And is there some significance at 128, 256, and 1024 rates?
My next question is: someone at - it else noticed faster or slower speeds using NOR-Motion after moving to Windows 7?
The software that I work on the controls, a machine used on a production floor where the cycle time is critical and even save a fraction of a second can be important. With Windows XP, we have reduced the cycle time of 5 or 6 seconds by running WMP. We would like to start using Windows 7, but we won't be able to if it means cycle slower times on our machines.
The source code for VB 6 and VB.NET 2008 for the demo program is attached. This is the computer that I used for the test today, but I was also able to reproduce this on computers Dell, LS, Xycom and Allen-Bradley. I also used several different versions of NOR-Motion and WMP with the same results.

"Windows Media Player cannot burn the files to CD" error while burning a CD
My Windows Media Player says "Windows Media Player cannot burn the files to the CD. Check that the disc is clean and not damaged. If necessary, select a slower recording speed or try a different brand of blank discs. I have burned several CD from Windows Media Player in the last year. I used different brands of CD, since I first saw this message, but it continues to give the same message. Whenever the burner starts to burn, I get this message. What is the problem?
Thank you for answering my question. I understood the question. In the burning options, there is a tab file types. For some reason the appropriate boxes are not selected. The burning process has led me to believe that I had a problem of burner or CD, while he was in fact the options. Thank you once again.

Hotkey unwanted for Windows Media Player
I recently discovered the shortcut keyboard Alt + Shift + P to insert a {PAGE} field in Word. Although it is not really necessary in Word 2003 and earlier versions (which have an Insert Page number button in the toolbar header and footer), insert page numbers is much heavier in Word 2007/2010 that it would be very useful.
I know that this shortcut worked fairly recently and it is always assigned to the InsertPageField command in Word, but today when I try to use it, she begins to WMP instead. I have not assigned a hotkey to WMP, and the Properties dialog boxes for my desktop and Start Menu shortcuts show that none assigned. Where is this from, and is there any way I can cancel it?
Try the following steps:
