• Windows Media Player crashes

  I have a Pavilion laptop dv7 (P/N VZ500PA #ABG) running Windows 7, and even if I was using Windows Media Play on this computer for 18 months without any problem, recently it started to freeze on me sporadically. When I open a folder I noticed that it takes a long time (more than normal along...) I'm guessing 20 seconds) to answer. When I play a file she also occasionally ignores, and it has nothing to do with an error in the file.

  I'd be gratefule for any help that you could provide. Thank you in advance.

  In case anyone cares, I gave up on Windows Media Player because although some of the solutions provided in this thread solved the problem temporarily, it would start eventually freeze up again. So I downloaded Winamp, which freezes if I try to use to play the CD (but not Windows Media Player) and works perfectly when I use it to play MP3s (where Windows Media Player does not work). Unhappy that he had to come to this, but it seems to be the most effective practical solution.

• Problem with Windows Media Player: "Server execution failed" and "files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

  I have a problem with Windows Media Player on laptop Lenovo G780. My laptop is under warranty (bought a month ago), but technical support Lenovo told me that the Windows Media Player program is not covered by the warranty.

  And this is a problem:

  When I click on Windows Media Player - to about 0.1 sec I see it opens and closes the window and nothing happens.

  When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the option open with Windows Media Player - I get a message: "Server execution failed" - I checked that all services with 'Media' in the name are running.

  When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the open option with Windows Media Center - Windows Media Center opens with the message: "the files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

  When I select a file mp3 or wmv and right-click with option open with Windows Movie Maker life - see the video

  I tried to turn / WMP and WMC - did not help
  Tried to run as administrator - did not help
  I don't see something suspicious under events

  What can I do else?

  Thank you

  I had the same problem and then by chance, I tried a video on YouTube and it worked for me. Here's how I went on this issue and solved my problem:

  1. go to the computer, then OS (C).
  2. you will need to open Program Files (x 86) and Program Files.
  3. go to Windows Media Player in Program Files (x 86) and open the folder.  Then, remove the wmplayer file.  You may need to work around the error TrustedInstaller.  I'll tell you that, in a moment.
  4. in Program Files, go to the same folder for Windows Media Player and select the same file again. Wmplayer.  Copy the file in another window open.  Copy ensures that if the question comes up again you can at least try to fix it again.
  This should be the end of your problem.  If you need to circumvent the TrustedInstaller question is how:
  1. right click on wmplayer and select Properties > Security > advanced > owner > Edit > other users and groups.
  2. Enter your username and then click on check names.  Click OK.
  3. close the dialog boxes as he has requested.
  4. open again the properties and click Security.  Select your username from the list and click on edit.  From there, select full control.
  This should give you full control over the removal of the original file for WMP and easily allow you to copy the other files (x 86) programs.
  Please let me know how it goes for your problem.

• Windows Media Player does not play .avi or .mpeg video files?

  I downloaded video files to the video format .avi, and then try to play them with Windows Media Player. He plays the sound for the video file, but no video. I try to convert the file to the format .mpeg, and this time that Windows Media Player says that it could not acquire a codec this file with, whatever saying he acquired a codec at the bottom of the screen. So I download the codec xvid on the internet and install it, but even in this case, the files are still playing. How can I fix it?

• Windows Media Player crashes when you open a file

  The player program freezes when I try to open a video file from Windows Media Player.

  However, when opening a video file (right click > open with > Windows Media Player) the video plays normally.

  A month ago, has worked these two methods.

  Windows XP SP3 with all updates

  Windows Media Player 11

  If her videos only in a specific folder, you could try to reconnect all, delete the old folder and renaming this new or possibly leaving the new folder with a different name.

  It can also be a good idea to run the disk check to check there is no problem with the drive: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265
