• Having trouble getting Windows media player to recognize and extract some burned CD when I insert the CD, nothing comes up on the tab extract. I have licenses for all the protected songs and the same CD was ripped in the past by using media player.

  My computer has a virus and before I wiped it's own, I copied all my files to blank CD I was able to extract these CDs on my computer but they are in the WMA format and I want them in MP3 format. I changed the rip settings but when I put in the CD Ripper re - it, nothing comes tab extract. I tried to delete all the files in windows media player and my computer but media player doesn't always recognize the CD tab extract. I have restored my music files from the bin to WMA, but I really need to extract the songs in MP3 format. What can I do to get Windows to recognize and tear my CD? Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Make sure that there is no CD in the CD drive. Then, go to Options - confidentiality of WMP and click the button Clear the Caches . Restart WMP, and insert a CD you want to re - rip. Are you able to rip the CD now?

  If it still does not work, you can try to rip the CD from another user account (if necessary, create a new user account in the control panel). Afterwards, you can move the files ripped to MP3 to your own original account. Tim Baets

• How can I block Windows media player-all function or video?

  OK, I have one of four newspapers-ons in my pc that is locked down pretty tight where the only thing I want to work is word processor (WordPerfect and starting Word version).  My teenage son has impulse control issues, which gives more access means that it is wandering and not on the task.  Theoretically, he likes to play music while working on school assignments (writing) on the computer.  The problem is that apparently in addition to the execution of music files already resident on our pc and external drive, he inserted DVD in the dvd player and movies run (secretly) that are played to use the features of Windows media player.  My preference would be to hell video functionality or the ability to use the DVD drive under this opening of session and leave the ability of audio file.  Is there a way to do this?

  Alternatively, if I install another drive, can I block the video features of a different player and block the drive windows completely?

  Hi Akphoneguy,

  We understand that you want to restrict your teenager using Windows Media Player to play the video file but without impact on music files. However, the feature that you are curious about is currently not available in Family Safety. It can only restrict the entire working application and not a specific feature within the application.

Here is the link where you can fill out our feedback form.

• I don't have Windows Media Player installed on this PC. Whenever I try to install it from the Microsoft Web site, it does not install at all. Help? :(

  Recently, I realized that I don't have Windows Media Player on this pc, which limit myself by doing a lot of options on my smart TV. I tried to install, but whenever I do, I get a message saying that it is not compatible with my computer, when I chose the right options for windows 7 64 bit.

  Maybe you have an edition of "N" of Windows, which would explain your problem.

• Windows Media Player 10 is to blame for PC restart when I hotsync Palm USB Windows XP

  In my previous post, I wrote how can I Hotsync my Palm VX (Via the Serial Port) on Windows XP but when I tried my M515 HotSync, my computer shuts down immediately and it restarts. Then my PC started to plant a blue screen when stopping with an error on a 'Device Driver' in the 'Kernel Stack"or something. (No idea what that means). After a complete reformat, I reinstalled Windows XP and Service Pack 3 unconnected to the internet. Without having to install anything else, I installed Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and Hotsynced. Two fine hotsynced palms. I created a system restore point and installed Windows Media Player 10 from a backup (I had not run Media Player 9 which comes with XP). When I then tried to Hotsync my M515, it immediately restarts the PC as before. Uninstall Media Player while version 9 has been "canceled" does not solve the problem. Unfortunately, I did not uninstall and reinstall Palm Desktop, who might have done the trick, but when I used my Restore Point to go back to the after Service Pack 3 installed, reinstalled Palm Desktop and my Palm Hotsynced once more. Since then, I have installed MS Office 2000, Avast Antivirus, Zone Alarm, even RealPlayer (V10) and my Hotsyncs still Palm very well. I removed Windows Media Player by using Add/Remove Windows components in Control Panel. I have not yet run Windows updates, but when I do, I'll do a Custom update avoid all updates that involve Windows Media Player (since I don't use it). Maybe it's not relevant, but I see that an export of Palm Memo (*.mpa) has been associated with Media Player initially and then with Real Player.Removing this association in Windows Explorer appears not to convince Windows that this is not a movie file and I don't know how to do a file only as my address book and Contacts file. It may not even be important, but it could be useful.

  An update, I have now enabled XP Home and installed all updates of high priority for XP Home Edition, except for the upgrade to Internet Explorer 6 (I prefer to use Opera as my browser) I have not installed the other optional updates, and of course, I do not have an updated Media Player version. I removed the Media Player 9 which comes with XP (just in case where causing the same problems as version 10) using Add Remove Windows components so that nobody else runs it accidentally. I also installed the latest versions of Macromedia Flash Player for Internet Explorer and Opera without causing problems. My PC works beautifully and my HotSync Palm like a spring lamb. Real Player 10.5 behaves itself.

• Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 stops working after recovery from sleep mode

  I have problems to make Windows Media Player 12 to run correctly after a system sleep (standby). It works very well after the maximum boot and for as long that the machine is not going mode sleep. It is only a problem with Windows 7 and Media player 12. All other Win 7 applications seem to work correctly. The system also works very well for Vista/Media player 11.

  I installed my upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 as a new installation on a separate hard drive. This problem exists right after installation - no other software not added. I then installed all the updates MS available and the problem has not disappeared. I installed the OS a couple of times (including a copy of Windows 7 Professional x 64) on another hard drive too and the problem remains.

  Media Player 12 works perfectly until the system goes into sleep mode - either by itself, or manually. When it resumes, Media player launches, but when you try to play something, he will only play the first couple notes of music and then freeze. Same thing with videos - it will get the first couple of frames played, and then hang. If you continue to stop and restart Media Player, eventually it will be totally suspended and after a few minutes the error "Server execution failed" message. At that point in the Task Manager, wmplayer.exe will consume is a complete base my Quad CPU (25%), do nothing. Sometimes, you can kill the process and take control of the back of the PC. Other times it crashes completely and the only thing you can do is to shut down the PC.

  Media Player 11 under Vista Home Premium x 64 on the same PC works fine. I was never able to get Media Player 12 in Windows 7 to work properly after a standby/on standby. If I reboot, everything works fine so it seems to be that something related to a problem of sleep/recovery.

  HP supports suggested restarting the service WMP network sharing.  That has not helped, but if I stopped and set to manual start, Media Player would play the sound/music but not video of several tests.  But if I stopped and began to WMP 12 a few times more the problem returns.

  Well after working with the help of HP for several days, it seems to be something between the video card and card mother / BIOS between them.  At start-up, everything works well, but after the exit mode ensures, hardware diagnostics show a failure of local video memory.  Media Player is finally touched by it.  Doesn't a lot of sense to me that this does not happen under Vista, Win 7.  You have to return the PC to HP for diagnosis/repair.
