  OT: Windows Media Player 12

  I have Media Player 12 and it plays music very well, but I have no sound when I play a video (AVI format). I can play the same video on Quick Time player and I have the sound, then it is not the video file. Any suggestion to fix Media Player 12?

  Hello mikemonte1450,

  1. where did you get the .avi file did you download it or save it?

  2. this happens to you with the particular .avi file or all the avi files?

  3. do you have an error when you try to read the avil files on your computer?

  Windows Media Player supports the format of .avi file and you should be able to play. It seems to me that there is no available codecs to read the file format, you are trying to read. I suggest that you check the type of file you are playing, you should be able to understand this by checking the file extension.

  a. right click on the file and click Properties, under file format, you should be able to find the file type.

  You can check the link for more information on codecs below:

  · How do you open the attachment?

  · Is it by double-clicking or you choose open with option.

  a. save the attachment to the office,

  b. right-click on the file and select open with the option to open the attachment according to their file extension.

  Example: If the .docx file extension, then it is word document or .pdf, it's Adobe.

• Error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file' when try to play wav or midi files.

  Original title: WMP "can't play wav or midi.

  Using WMP 11 on Windows XP SP3.

  Windows Media Player has somehow forgotten how to play wav or midi files. Doubleclicking either of these file types give an error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. " There is a button 'Close' and 'Web Help' which still informs me, "you met the C00D1199 error message... ". ». Following the advice given nothing less than useful.

  I can easily play these files with RealPlayer or VLC so I don't think it's a driver problem, and it wasn't a corruption right after installing the other players. WMP seems to work OK when playing music or AVI. And there is no harm to hear a sound (wav or midi) in Windows for various system events. Have already uninstalled/reinstalled WMP without result.

  Thanks for your reply.

  I have since determeined the problem comes from an updated codec package I installed a few weeks ago. These codecs were from Shark007 which I believe is a Microsoft MVP. Use the codecs from this site for a number of years without any problems so I did not initially suspect it was the source of the problem. I uninstalled the codec pack and installed K-light package and everything seems to be Ok now. Now, I'll be in contact with the members of this forum.

• Error: "Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed or deleted'

  Original title: laptop won't read the music files stored on external hard drive

  I have an old Compaq laptop Windows XP, so it was out of memory I transferred everything on a Portable Seagate (500 GB) hard drive and started to access it. It's worked well for over a year, but lately, began to stop playing my music files. Absolutely everything on the hard drive opens, however, images, files and folders, but when I go into Windows Media Player, it pops up with this error message:

  Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to read, burn or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.
  I have not modified parameters or anything that moved. I used to be just able to restart the laptop, or disconnect and reconnect the hard drive and it works again, but now it or not will be not at all, or it will cut off half way through a song and then not to play anything more.
  I can't find any support for this problem because the phone reads that the hard drive is there, and everything else works. Only the music doesn't. I tried to play music on a connected USB and it works fine. I'm so confused!
