Windows media player crashes Vista
When I open my PC crashhes WMP. I get a blue screen with an error message, but it vanishes if fast, that I don't have the time to read.
The problem occurs when I try to play music or open WMP in the start menu. Everything else seems to work OK.
I tried to go to a restore point, but it goes back to two days and is not the problem.
Ideas:
- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
Please repost your question in music and its Forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistamedia/threads where people who specialize in these issues will be more than happy to help you with your problems.
Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

Hello Pacone
According to Walter, Microsoft Windows Vista comes with Media Player 11. So please could you clarify the application you are using? The version you gave I guess maybe it is Windows Movie Maker. Here is the link for Windows Live Movie Maker 2011. You can download the latest Live Movie Maker from here. http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Movie-Maker?OS=other

Problem with Windows Media Player crashing.
Windows Media Player crashes my system everytime I try to play a video file (mpeg or H - 264)) I've updated codecs. I'm running a fresh install of windows 7 with office 2013 that my machine is a quad core with 8 GB of ram with a graphics card GE Force 6200. It is a church computer used to run PowerPoint for most.

Quality of its poor window media player with vista and windows 7
Since I bought my first Vista PC three years ago I never liked playing my music with Windows media player. This is because the sound quality is irritating. For some reason, the volume of any song keeps rising and falling when he plays with the media player but the same player sound perfectly with any other player. Note, in this case with windows Vista and when I upgraded to Windows 7 I have always noticed the same problem. Many of my friends who use Windows vista or windows 7 also complained about this problem.
Does anyone have a solution to this? Because I can't play my songs with windows media player on my pc windows 7 and I had to keep my old windows xp just to play my songs.Hello
It could be mainly mediocre speakers. Check you drivers.
Control Panel - device - SOUNDS Manager - look for HD Audio Mine said RealTek High Definition Audio
Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.1. go to the system manufacturer's website and search for the driver the newest download - SAVE - will click with the button straight on and RUN AS ADMIN
(This is your rescue.) REBOOT after each installation of driver.NOTE: Driver Sound often rollback so check the version after installation and reboot to see if the version you
installed is there, if not repeat - restart until it is. It may take several tries depending on the recommitments how he
the fact.Then do the same for the site of the manufacturer of the device.
Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

Windows Media Player does not work. Impossible to use slide show programs, can not open attachments that require Media Player. Tried to update and couldn't. Couldn't fix it.
Hello
Run the sfc/scannow command.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
- Type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions
If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

How can I solve this problem.
Hi Nick91606,
KERNELBASE.dll is a file system of the operating system.
Method 1
I suggest that you save the file on your computer and check if Windows media player works.
(a) click the Start button.
(b) in the search box, type command prompt.
(c) in the list of results, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
(d) in the type command regsvr32 kernelbase.dll line press ENTER.
(e) close the command prompt
Method 2
If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.
The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

If you have Windows Vista, you have Windows Media Player INCLUDED. , It is part of the system. It cannot be uninstalled.
