• Windows Media Player 12 - slow to update the library

  I have a big disco 50K more songs.  I recently moved the music to a harsh new Bank and changed the directory structure.  I deleted the music library WMP (by removing everything C:\Users\###\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player), open from WMP12 and so went to file/manage libraries added in each of the directories music where the music is stored.  As expected, WMP began to read music and I can see the songs populating the library as they come.

  The problem is that this is happening very slowly.  As about 2 seconds per song.  At this rate, it will be almost 4 days of continuous operation to completely rebuild the library.  I got it done in the past (but maybe not with WMP12?), but never experienced this kind of snails pace update.  Any ideas on what could be causing it to ad to the library files so slowly or what I can do to speed things up to?

  Thank you

  I have the latest version of Windows Media Player, Windows 7. When I try to COPY a CD to Windows Media Player, it is said he made and he tells me that the CHECK-in LOCATION is indeed the place I want that he save in. However, when he finshed his extraction process, the music is not found in my library, nor in my save file location. I'm pretty much FED UP with Windows Media Player. Can someone help, please?

• Windows Media Player crashes on some .avi files.

  My media player continues to break up when I try to play some videos then it worked fine there a few days and now its problems on the same files...  Absolutely I changed nothing with my computer. I had a virus but my anti-virus got rid of him.

  I tried the things:

  • Reboot PC
  • The reinstatement of some DLL files that Google told me to do
  • Difficulty WMP Utility v 1.0
  • I have the DVIX Codec, so I doubt it's a codec issue. Also it was working fine a few days ago.

  Hello

  .AVI is a container file and the audio/video and now in which can be encoded with any codec available. Windows Media Player supports all of these default codecs. Therefore, a separate codec must be installed for this purpose. Trying to play with the existing code may crash the application.

• 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.

  a. you can try to change the hardware acceleration in the middle and check (you can try another level too.)

  b. right-click on a space empty on the desktop.

  c. go to the resolution of the screen.

  d. click Advanced settings, and then click the "troubleshooting."

• Windows Media Player, not able to play the media file online

  Windows media player

  When I try to play videos online, my Windows media player opens and I see the circle goes round & round, can be buffered, but nothing comes out, no picture or sound.

  Hi frank questions,.

  1. where you can read online videos using Windows media player earlier?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  3. it happens with all the videos online?

  4. What is the type of internet connection you use?

  It's the first time you try to play online videos if due to an internet connection slow or installed on the computer security software.

  I'd say temporary you disable the security software on the computer and check if it works.

  Disable the anti-virus software
