Windows Media Player Date out of sync with PC

I noticed that when I added "Date last played" a category on Windows Media Player, the date indicated changes 6 hours before midnight.  In other words, songs played before 18:00 (18:00) CDT show today date, while the songs played AFTER 18:00 (18:00) CDT have date of tomorrows as "Date last played."

It seems that the date in the database for the music is out of sync, but I can't find a way to fix it.  It's more annoying than anything else I want it fixed.

Hi Baldmongoose,

Try to update the time zone on your computer and check if the problem persists.

  • Windows Media Player enabled at startup interferes with sound, video and other sources

    Hi, this is a known issue since I've had this laptop second hand! But always thought that one of the USB flash drives was the cause (Sandisk Cruzer Micro U3), since the mouse cursor blinks like crazy until everything is fully charged and becomes stable. It is clear now Windows Media Player peut cause this conflict for two reasons. A single, "WMP" is pre-activated on startup? (as confirmed with the Task Manager, he just goes there and "sparkles" like crazy). And two, "WMP" wants to seize all media, he can find by default automatically; I "can I" accidentally put as such (during an update of Windows that you are prompted), not sure?

    A purchased late 2009 "Pinnacle PCTV Pro HDTV USB Stick" product had never worked right? Cause the software "TVCenterPro" was unstable, and TV shows have been troubled and often froze. OEM is finally released with a great release of TVCtr Pro5x ("TVCenter6"), and it works much better! But I could only install it in trial mode until I found the CD product key.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled TVC6; but no TV (or FM radio) channels can be found in the full activation mode? And better actually worked in "trial mode; which didn't make any sense? Pursuit of the investigation, that's when I discovered "WMP" behaviour above; and forced a complete process tree removal. I did the same thing to TVC6, which cound not 'see' peripheral integrated audio from the laptop in full mode? And on reloading the program, it worked! TVC6 can now detect the device audio and pick up channel and stations by their identifiers as he did in "test" mode There's more to refine what I should do to properly operate the TVCenter6. But I need to know why "WMP" havoc on audio, video and other sources, hardware and software!

    The 'specifications' are Internet Explorer 9 (new), Vista Home Basic SP-2 and Windows Media Player 11.0.6002.18311. The embedded video is ATI Radeon Express and the audio Realtek High definition, the processor is Intel Pentium Dual Core & so on.

    * The system doesn't have a virus etc and is up to date. Has anyone met a similar behavior with Windows Media Player?

    PS: I just start WMP(11x) again, and of course, the mouse cursor begins to blink like crazy immediately. The only solution is to make the highest (force the tree closed the process and prevent WMP launched with the use of the other audio video).

    It turned out that the real problem was much worse than I thought! I had to reinstall sound, video and other device drivers; Windows Management Framework Core for Vista x 86 [(bundle 32 bits: Windows Powershell 2.0, Windows Remote Management 2.0 ("WinRM"), Background Intelligent Transfer Service 4.0 ("BITS"))], etc.. And preparation tool system update to find and fix registry I didn't know were there? (42 total, only 4 keys were fixed. The other 38 were removed one by one, after finding a way to change the access permissions; not even administrator has for Vista Home Basic; for files also). Addition of a few executables of line at the command prompt (indicated in respective Microsoft etc. support messages and articles online); and what you said that I had already done all troubleshooting (failed?). After working on it for two days, the system suddenly broken to normal; and works better than ever. Windows Media Player (11 x) is working great now and is no longer remains in memory when opening and closing several times; hardware audio and video is surprisingly better; even the works of volume mixer! And that weird State "crazy cursor" that caused the blue screen error if allowed to go on long enough are gone! (even after the insertion of misc USB flash and other devices). Windows updates found nothing to "change" other than the periodic updates. I also ran the command line to stop several languages of the poll"(tout ce qu'il s'appelle?), and"Windows features"appears much faster than the overall speed and performance." All that's left is to tweak "Windows features" for optimum performance; Therefore, the problem is solved!

    Please note: I can't turn off the storage management removable and Remote Differential Compression etc to speed up Vista even more (not). TVCenter6 works fine but "hangs" in memory (at the end).

    For these questions, please go to the related post via this link: optional features of Windows cannot be enabled or disabled, hidden Windows updates cannot be uninstalled.

    Support: Please add a "Mark" button for the problems solved by the user (and when Microsoft does not provide the answer, as is the case with all other messages); so I can close the nets, I opened as 'resolved on mine'.

  • Windows Media Player 11 for Vista problem with skin mode

    My Windows Media Player for Vista (premium) works well for more than a year.  The other day, for the first time, I chose to start it in appearance (small) mode.  The hourglass appeared, then she flashed "not responding".  When I searched for help, help app has just ended.  When I asked for more details, the message says "a problem caused this program blocking interact with Windows.  Problem event name is AppHangB1; version of the app is 11.0.6002.18065; Hang sign is e710; Blocking type is '0 '. timestamp of the application is 4a5dce03.

    I went into Control Panel to try to fix, but Media Player is not displayed as an installed program.

    I tried to download and reinstall, but it says that my version is more recent than the downloadable version.

    I tried to remove the program .exe file and I was told that I needed permission (even though I am the administrator).

    I ran the cmd scan, but he said that some errors could not be fixed.

    I tried to run regedit, but my computer says there is an error and could not work.

    So I can't open, remove, repair or replace the Windows Media Player 11.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I saw another thread that has suggested to delete three registry entries.  That did not work, but because WMP didn't work, I felt "BOLD".  I've therefore deleted everything in the registry, including 'by default'.  And guess what?  It worked!  He put back me in full mode, I'll leave the skin only mode.

    Thanks again.

  • Problems with fluctuating volume of Windows Media Player

    After that I transferred MP3/WAV files to my old laptop which has Vista... for my new laptop which has Windows 7, my windows media player then started acting crazy during playback of music files.  The volume goes up and down, and during parties strong songs, it goes almost silent... with a few songs, it becomes just as hard very quickly and then just cut all together.  I tried tools audio fix from microsoft, and they were unable to help him.  Basically, it sounds like when you listen to music, and you would simply continue to cupping your ears again and again, as you can imagine is really annoying while you try to listen to music

    Try the following steps, presented by another poster, JoeyNice:

    6 steps that have helped me with this problem:

    (After looking at a few ideas from there I went and did my own investigation and arrested next steps the boring windows media player playback sound fluctuations)

    (1.) start the media player and go into menu improvements in media player andreset all default media player improvements and disable all improvements and equalizer, etc...

    (2.) do right click the speaker volume icon (located in the lower right corner of windows in the area of programs/notification bar) then andclick 'sounds' in the right click menu (or if "speaker" icon is not in the notification bar go to control panel and click on 'sounds')

    (3.) in the sounds of communications click menu tab and select 'status quo '.

    4.) , while on the sounds tab menu click play, and then click speakers allowing you to then click on properties

    5.) in the sounds-> speakers menu properties go to improvements and select 'Disable all sound effects'

    6.) while in the sounds-> speakers menu properties go to the Advanced tab and "restore default settings" , then click on apply and then OK and then apply and ok again and the sound menu

    These steps allowed me to be able to go to windows media player and listen to music with no fluctations (and you can now be able to turn on the equalizer again if you want to make adjustments, but if this causes the fluctuation back just turn Equalizer back off.) I could turn it back on after you follow the steps above with no fluctuation)

    Let us know if this suggestion helps with your problem of fluctuating volume.

    Sincerely,

    Marilyn
