Windows Media Player configuration settings can be unruly

Configuration settings can be unruly

All,

I lived the same "configuration settings can be defined incorrectly" when troubleshooting through the control panel with Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7. One day all WMP suddenly stopped playing all video and audio files. I tried all methods of troubleshooting above and in several other forums. I had no chance. I was about to give up and do a complete reinstall of my OS. So I got thinking that WMP was the source of corruption, I have noticed that I had lost his suit. My Device Manager hardware detector sound card driver updated and seemed to be fine. Nevertheless, I went ahead and completely uninstalled the drivers for my Creative Labs Soundblaster. Windows shortly after automatically detected the card sound and began to install the drivers on its own. Once finished my sound was back. I went and checked the WMP and it worked again. What a relief... I was dreading having to do a reinstall of the operating system.

  • 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?

    This problem has now been resolved.  I went in my computer > tools > Folder Options > file Type, select the type of file and clicked on advanced then > change and changed back to Windows Picture and Fax Viewer in Windows Media Player.  I had the idea of a response posted on this forum about a different issue, but who pointed me in the right direction.

  • -What someone answering questions on Windows Media Player. I can't download a license for music. It gives me error 438.

    I have Windows Media Player 11

    Hello

    1 have had any changes made to your computer before this problem?

    Perform the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    There is a possibility that internet settings are causing this error 438 to come.

    Go to your Internet Explorer and check the settings of Internet security. Make sure to set the level on 'medium high'. If the level is set higher, it can block the Windows Media Player to download the license, Windows Media Player error 438 to come.

    Also in the Internet security settings, it is important to "run activex controls and plug-ins." By activating these two parameters, it must deal with what caused the error to occur in Windows Media Player.

    Method 2: reset the DRM Bank on the computer.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) If Windows Media Player is running, exit Windows Media Player.

    (b) locate the DRM folder on the hard disk, and then rename the folder to DRMbackup DRM.

    Note: by default, this folder is located in the following location in Windows:

    %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM

    (c) visit the following Microsoft Web site:

    http://drmlicense.one.Microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp  

    (d) follow the instructions on the website to update the safety component of Windows Media Player. This procedure allows you to obtain new licenses for media content. You can also reset licenses for purchased content so that you can play that content on a computer.

    Note: DRMs, such as Microsoft Windows Product Activation, maintain an internal hardware ID. This ID is based on the hardware configuration that existed during the installation of Windows or installing Windows Media Player 11. If you change the processor of the computer or other devices, the hardware in the DRM system ID does not match the new computer configuration. When this occurs, DRM determines that a user has tried to move the content protected to a different computer. This behavior can also occur if the storage protected by DRM in the Windows registry has been changed.

    Note: you must contact any third-party stores where you purchased music to reset the licenses for that music. If you copied CDs for protected Windows Media Audio files, the CD must be copied again.

    For your reference: When you try to use Windows Media Player 11 to play a digital rights (DRM) - management protected, multimedia media can not play

  • 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?

  • I'm trying to implement the discoloration of the music (you know when a song fades to another it fades) in windows media player that you can in Windows Vista. Is this something they have taken away from Media Player?

    Help, please

    Hi garykholden,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    Windows 7 is Windows Media Player default 12. You can cross fade music in Windows Media Player 12 as well.

    Press the Alt key to display the menu bar, then go to view menu to select improvements in the menu dropdown. The next option to highlight are:

    · Fade-chained volume and auto leveling.

    Another method to display enhancements menu in WMP12 is to click on the list on the upper right to display the playlist, and then click the button at the end of the Playlistpane and then go to enhancements menu item to display all the options available.
