  Why Windows Media Player 11 list and play each song twice without being in a loop? Help me

  I have problems with windows media player 11 playing each son twice and it is very annoying.  How can I solve this problem?

  Sara: I suggest that you try to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

  -Restart the PC.
  -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If its status is started, double-click on the service and click on stop.
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this folder, delete the folder Media Player. If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
  -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

• Windows Media Player is not installed correctly. Reinstall the drive.

  I am running XP Home and WMP v11. I get the following message when I try and play some files: "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly. Reinstall the drive.

  In the past I had to go back to WMP 10 to 9 and reinstall when this happened, but when I triedthis method , this time it did not work and said that he could not uninstall.

  The songs have played fine on WMP in the past and they are the ones I've owned for years rather than months.
