• All of a sudden my pictures folders are now all show in Windows Media Player and I can't open each photo in full screen, but only in the video display mode.

  All of a sudden my pictures folders are now all show in Windows Media Player and I can't open each photo in full screen, but only in the video display mode.   When I go to my pictures and choose view as thumbnails, that's fine, but when I click on the individual photo, it shows on the screen no video not in mode full screen and I can't move the photo to the photo without closing the video screen.  How can I get my pictures on Windows Media Player?

• 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. If you think that restrict certain features of any application is a convenient feature to have safe family, we suggest that submit you it as a feature request to Microsoft who appreciates your comments and considers that the suggestion of a future versions. Here is the link where you can fill out our feedback form.

  https://feedback.live.com

  In regards to your idea to install a new drive and Windows Media Player blocking completely, as now, we have no information for the player who can perform the function you are looking for. We can only suggest what to look for any media player that may able to do using your search engine preferred.

  If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to reply to this message and we will do our best to help you.

  Thank you.

• Windows Media Player - no sound for videos

  Windows Media Player 11 - will play videos (.)

• Impossible to update of Windows Media Player and Microsoft Security Essentials and the error is "access denied error 80070005."

  Apparently an involuntary change of administrative privileges or permissions (Windows XP Pro, SP3) keeps me updated Media Player version 9 to 11 v. and updated virus Security Essentials definitions.
  For Media Player, wmsetup.log reports access denied error 80070005 and UpdSpAPI.log reports access denied for the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Settings\MP3Encoding\LowRate registry key. In regedt32, I'm blocked from display HKLM\...\MediaPlayer\Settings and below, and "are allowed to view the current permission settings, but... can make a change." Except that I can't. I can enter the change but get «...» Access is denied"trying to apply them. So this is the first problem that I need help.

• Windows Media Player Auto played a video without being in the media library, possible?

  I recently opened up windows media player and clicked on play a bit before he had fully charged it, thinking I would play my mp3 library, rather a * video looked to play. I couldn't find the video anywhere on my hard drive. (also * is not seen nor this computer I used, is often used on the internet, it's a family computer) Pourrait that happen to watch a video in my browser on netflix streaming and a wmv file that is attached to the back of the video streaming? Anyway, I have no idea why she would automatically play and not be in the library windows media anywhere. Is this always already arrived to someone else? Thank you!!

  Someone visited questionable sites by the sounds of it.

• Windows Media Player - no audio during video playback

  Windows media player

  I am running Windows XP.  Windows Media Player opens successfully, I have audio but not video.  I tried to reinstall, update etc.  Still nothing.

  Hi jeffwebs,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2 when was the last time it was working fine?

  3. you receive an error message during playback of video files?

  4. What if the problem occurs with all video files read using Windows media player?

  It is likely that the codec is correct / encoder is not installed or is installed but has been corrupted by another program.

  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 codecs to play and create digital media files.

  A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

  Follow the steps listed in the section below to download codecs for this problem.

  You receive a codec error message or play audio but video does not play when you play media files in Windows Media Player 11

• Windows Media Player cannot play the videos

  Since the last 2 months I find that my Windows Media Player cannot play the videos. After having tried many, I installed the third-party Codec such as GOM Player, GOM DECODER and GOM converter on an experimental basis. For all its operation I installed that for the second time (test period = 1 month). Now, I found some unusual - the entire screen with prop-up Windows began to appear "foggy, unusually large screen, Visuality fuzzy." So GOM was 'uninstalled' in the menu 'program & feature. When he learned from the Microsoft Forum I installed k - lite Codec system. Now, some of my videos recorded under 'Image' menu works fine. But the videos stored in the "library" of WMP is not reacting. I need your advice. Again, in a prop-up window of K-Lite has asked to opt feither for: (i) (ii) repairs, (Iii) remove or change. I opted for changing file Windows Vista Codec - was the selection was appropriate? Should I opt for Vista Codec file repair?

• Windows Live Movie Maker cannot read a particular DVD title while Windows Media Player and VLC can.

  I use WL Movie maker to convert DVD titles/chapters/files .vob in a readable WMV format for consumption on my Windows Phone for later viewing. The DVD is open and has no right of use of media and every other title/chapter on the disk except for this one, I've converted using Movie Maker.

  Windows Media player and VLC Media player can read without problem. Can I also hidden the specific section (and high school) with Divx Plus Converter in Divx format, but Movie Maker can not identify/read the article and simply extract 14-minute shows with nothing in it, even though it has about 25 minutes. Video player can read more about the chapter that is the second vob related file in the section.

  I feel it is a problem with Movie Maker and its algorithms have encountered a scenario where he lost his mind, because I have to kill the Movie Maker, because never happens to expire.

  Is this something where I can send a copy of the image to MS to get trying to fix an error reported to Microsoft Connect, or this there something I can try locally?

• Windows Media Player sound only during video playback

  Windows Media Player won't PLAY VIDEO (MOVIES); ONLY SOUND CAN BE HEARD.

  Can someone please?  I go crazy - my windows media player will not play anything except the sound on videos (films are so far the problem).  She claims codecs are updated automatically, I'm too scared to download some unknown codec. I tried everything I know to do and I'm not too bad to understand such things.  I am now at a loss.  What is the problem here? BTW-Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, Toshiba laptop.  I think that Media Player 11.

  Volunteer J ~ THANK YOU very MUCH FOR THE REPLY! I WILL RESPECT ALL THE SOLUTIONS YOU HAVE TO OFFER!  From what I can tell, they are my videos (movies) transferred from the cd to the media player.  Videos of "sample" provided pre work ok.  My films all have the extension .avi at the end, that's why I don't understand why they will play only the sound of the film, not the actual Visual part. . AVI should be accompanied by my windows media player.  As I said, I'm pretty decent to deal with such things as a result of working with a lot of "technicians" in recent years; This is why I do not bother anyone here, but I am at a loss for what to do. If it's codecs, I don't want to take the risk to download a bad codec and corrupting my system.  Already checked the updates of Media player, there are not available at this time.  She has also set to automatically download codecs.  Man, it drives me crazy!  ConfusedOne70 aka Michelle

  =====================================
  If you download the following free utility... you can drag.
  an AVI file on it and it will tell you the codec it needs.

• Windows Media Player and Microsoft Office PowerPoint has stopped working.

  My laptop came with Vista installed. 2 weeks ago Windows media player has stopped playing video files that I receive by email. I tried to save the file to my desktop and play from there, but the same thing happens. He will play the first few seconds and then stops. In addition, Viewer PowerPoint from Microsoft office has stopped working. The error that says my anti-virus program may be the cause. I am currently using Norton Antivirus 2009.  I uninstalled Norton, but I still don't have the same error. All this happened after I downloaded and installed all the recommended Vista updates about 2 weeks ago.

  Hi anicho,
   
  Welcome to Microsoft answers community forum!

  I would like to ask a question to better understand:
   
  (a) what was the update has been installed?
  check the update to install and remove the most recent and check. Here is the link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windowsupdate/learn/windowsvista.mspx

  (b) what video format you are able to play on Media Player?

  You may need to do the following if you have not created a restore point

  Clean boot:
   
  This article describes how to start your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".
      
  To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps.
   
  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
  5. click on OK.
  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.
   
  If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.
  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 . In addition, refer to the section on how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode

  Try these steps after the clean boot and see if it works:
   
  Type command prompt in the start search box, right-click on command prompt and select run as administrator
  Type regsvr32 wmp.dll
  Press ENTER.
  There are also a few Fix it automate solutions on the Microsoft Fix It site, you might want to try:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/FixIt#tab6
   
  Alternatively, you can uninstall the Service Pack 2 (if you meant SP2 for updates) and check to see if it works
  Here is the link to uninstall: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948537

  To download the stand-alone version of Service Pack 2 for vista follow this link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a4dd31d5-f907-4406-9012-a5c3199ea2b3&displaylang=en
