• Windows Media Player Album Cover Art disappeared after the installation of 11 Explorer (Windows 7)

  A large part of my cover art of the album disappeared from Windows Media Player after installing Explorer 11 (using Windows 7). It's hundreds of albums and for art that was already present before installing Explorer 11. The number of albums is to manually replace the work a tedious task seriously.

  It's the same thing with the installation of Explorer 10, but less than albums, so I learned to live with it. But it's now on a ridiculous on the part of the library.

  Can someone tell me where the art is gone? And why?

  If there is a way to replace it without doing a search for each album with missing art?

  If she is still on my computer somewhere, but is no longer connected to the media player?

  Where the cover of the album art in general is maintained? I can not even understand this, using my computer or go to my account to backup Carbonite.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hi Jamie...

  Your album covers on album is in application data files and it will always be there. There is obviously a problem somewhere and it can be if you rebuild your library of wmp that the work will return. I guess you can still see the piece in the album files ok - Yes?

  First of all if I should run the Fix It tool and the sfc scanner - after that restart your pc and see if anything has changed. (The scannow sfc tool will report if there are errors, it cannot fix)

  Fix - download and run the tool for WMP (all problem areas)

  http://Support2.Microsoft.com/FixIt/?WA=wsignin1.0

  sfc scannow - follow the instructions here.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us

  After making such a report and we will then rebuild your wmp library if necessary.

  Ric.

  Afterthought - memory I got a screenshot of the cache of art, so here it is. It is also a "hidden" folder (you can tell by the gray look), that's why you don't find it easily!

I store my media (mainly), MS Office, PDF, and other various files on disc 2 of the secondary, internal size TB.  I have an external USB hard drive enclosure I can insert my player with internal 2 TB.  This allows me to take my multimedia files with me on vacation at home.  I can use this external box to read the media on other people's computers files, when I go on vacation.  When I put the internal drive in the external case in media players, the files appear, but do not work.  Their Player Windows Media displays a red "X" next to a lot of music album files and, when these red "Xs" appear, they appear in a cluster through the album of music together.  On my home computer, these Reds 'Xs' do not appear!  Another thing, some of the albums mysteriously disappear and reappear weeks later.  However, some of the files, when I play, his corrupt and static as in some places.  Sometimes the music files will play at Midway until it cuts and a red 'X' appears.  What happens here?

  Three things to try:

  (1) rename the file MP3 MP2

  (2) download and install the following free AC3 Filter.

• Satellite Pro C660 - 21 d - Windows Media Player has stopped working

  The icon in the toolbar at the bottom lost the Windows Media Player icon and I can no longer watch the videos. I get a message "Server execution failed". It does not start in the start menu. all I get is a very brief flash of a new window which then disappears.

  The window appears empty but it flashes on and off so fast it is impossible to be sure. I was not adding new programs; only the usual updates Microdsoft. I tried to go back to previous restore points and also activate media functionality and the new in the start menu without result.

  Any ideas as to what past and how can I solve this problem?
