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

  • Windows media player crashes when you start cd play

    When I insert a CD in windows media player, screen freezes when cd starts playing and the sound is chopy.

    Hi RonnieDean,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. Are you experiencing a similar problem with a CD you are trying to play using Windows media player?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    See the link below and run the fixit tool available, check if it helps.

    Solve the problems of Windows Media Player video and other media or library

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    I clicked on "check online for a solution", but nothing came.

    I tried to install an earlier version, but was not allowed to do.

    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.

  • Premiere Pro sometimes crashes when you open a file Explorer window

    Hello

    I've had this problem for a while now but have never been able to find a solution. Basically if I use something within Premiere Pro that opens a Windows Explorer dialog box (for example, when you choose a custom LUT), the program sometimes goes a little crazy.

    The dialog boxes is not pop up and the program becomes unclickable. And when you try to click on what, whether it gives it its particular of Windows. That occurs when you use a program and a dialog box has popped up and you try to click outside the dialog box.

    In the past, if I tried to end task and then cancelled, the program will open. However, with the last update things became different. It unlock again, but the program does funny things as it won't save. It does not update the video window when you rub. Etc., basically it becomes unusable and you will need to complete the task without being able to save your work.

    Hi Mike,.

    The cause of the accident is intelocl64.dll which is the file to Intel graphics card drivers.

    Make sure that your graphics card drivers are updated.

    If this does not help, follow these steps:

    • Quit Photoshop
    • Press windows and keys r to open the run window
    • Type w and press enter
    • Open Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC2015.5\Adobe Photoshop CC2015.5 settings
    • Move the sniffer file on desktop and relaunch Photoshop
    • Check that it works fine now

  • Illustrator crashes when you open any file

    Adobe Illustrator crashes everytime I try to open or create any document. I tested the file formats are AI (CC) adobe PDF and JPG. I tried to reset my computer as well. I want to uninstallthe program, but my creative cloud application refuses to load, so I have no way to re - install Illustrator

    Sam,

    Try the list (you can keep 6) until you can load the cloud).

    The following is a general list of things, try when the question is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media. You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) (check the box to delete the preferences), run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) to uninstall and reinstall.

  • PS CS3 crashes when you open any file.

    I'm on CS3 and I'm having the problem of not being able to open a file, such as the PS will crash every time before the opening of the window to select a file. I took another job and did everything he said but what I mention below on a TWAIN...

    (another post that said answered but isn't)

    I can't PS to open a file and did all the corrective items list.  I don't think that TWAIN is a problem, but it's the only thing that I don't know how to look...

    I need PS at work and have lost a customer with this problem.  Adobe won't support it and told me to buy CS5.  I have so little money, or I have already...

    I need this program to make money.  It worked one day and not the next.  I remember an Adobe update past in Camera RAW I think it was.  I had postponed the update until I did with a project.  After I did I installed it before starting a new project next week.  When I went to start that I could not open a file and have been stuck since...

    Any new idea will save my life and Affairs, if they fix it!

  • Photoshop CS3 crashes when you open any file

    I'm having a problem with Photoshop CS3. The application starts successfully in its own, but as soon as I open a file any I immediately get the following message:

    Photoshop.exe - Application error

    The instruction at "0x7c91b21" referenced memory at "0 x 000000010. The memory could not be "written".

    Then, the application closes.

    Other applications Adobe, in the Suite work perfectly well. I tried to uninstall/reinstall the software and I still get the same error.

    I tried the number of Support from Adobe, but they will not help because it's CS3. Would like to have 4 or 5, but it is not possible for me right now.

    I also tried a quick search on google but answers/solution seemed to be everywhere, while I tried in vain a few.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes. but not too much information here.

    Chris has already written about changing the default printer.

    Go in Control Panel of Windows (I don't see what operating system you have). Search for devices and printers or printers. If the printer you are printing to is configured as default printer change that to a different printer as MS XPS Document Writer and make this defect.

    Close it and see if that fixes the problem. This is a real problem for a lot of questions.

    All you have to do when you're ready to print from PS is to choose which printer to use when the print window opens.
