Windows Media Player does not appear in the window when selected

When you select Windows Media Player window does not appear, however, the 'media player logo' appears in the taskbar, including the thumbnail with my videos shown. When I click on the "logo media player" in the taskbar in the main window just flashes on the screen and does not remain.  Help would be appreciated

Oscardog,

I posted this article, assuming you had Windows 7 on your computer. My bad. Sorry about that!

Make SFC scan and check if any system files are intact and fine.

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

In addition, create a new user and check the status.

    Hello

    A .lnk file is a standard shortcut in Windows. The shortcuts are very often placed on the desktop, or in a control panel application such as Windows Start menu Launcher.

    Looks like that file Associations may be corrupted on your system.

    Windows media player is not adequately at a standstill and must be reienstalled.

    Then wonder if I want to install the player from the microsoft Web site. When I check the Yes box, I go to the site and he informs me that the version that I already paid for only a few months ago on my computer because my computer is relativley new, cannot be downloaded.

  • DVD player does not appear error - the driver may be corrupted or missing. Code 39, fix the driver installation fails, virtual drives don't work - same results if the material under tension

    Original title: drive does not appear, difficulty he pilot installation fails, virtual drives don't work - same results if the material under tension

    A few weeks ago, as my two DVD players (the two Samsung Lightscribe SH-S223Q of) disappeared after a repair installed, I did for the other problems (not sure if it was directly after installation because I don't notice it right away, but it was no doubt). In Device Manager, it gives the message:

    "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »

    I tried the Microsoft Fix It tool (Mats_Run.dvd.exe) that detects the problem and says "Install device driver" in a popup, but then he says "software device driver failed to installed. At the end it says under the issue, the "CD/DVD drive is not detected" and the status of Fix 'not set '. Note that, when I boot from another hard drive (with Vista 64 on it installed from the same DVD, just a new installation) disks appear very well. Also I can boot from the drive as well.

    I can't do a repair installation, since it must initiate Windows, and I can't load the disc. I tried to update my BIOS but that has no effect.

    Recently I actually moved this hard drive to another one, with another brand of hard drive and all the rest. Just like before, if I boot from another hard drive (this one with Windows 7), the drive unit-a Optiarc AD-7230 s - looks and works, and I can also boot from the drive at startup. But since the drive hard as I want to use, the drive does not appear. Fix it, etc. Device Manager gives the same messages as before.

    I tried virtual drives - Daemon Tools Lite and Virtual Clonedrive. When I try to add virtual devices to help, nothing happens. The new drive will be displayed in the Manager of devices, but with the same error Code 39 as the real drive.

    What are my options at this point? How can I get the drive to appear or to fix my copy of Windows?

    I could solve this problem. I started in Ubuntu and deleted the existing cdrom.sys, cdrom.inf etc. files (as in Windows, they were protected and I couldn't delete them), then I copied the files from another installation of Vista I had on another hard drive. After having done that, I updated the drivers in device, disabled/enabled readers and readers management that presented themselves.

  • Windows media player does not differentiate between the multiple discs from the same album

    editing by Windows media player

    All ripping a pair of compact discs windows libraries program "merges" both folders when I change the title of the album, the artist name, and genre stars, so that the list of songs is 1,1,2,2,3,3 etc. until runway 15 where the first, longest, cd continues to his last runway 23.  It's confusing to me, because I want to be able to label and burn each file separately.

  • The info I am updating in the media player is not appear on the file itself?

    Hi, I'm bad with, which, in my view, is, synchronizing the information? I usually empty files only mp3 title that I would update using "Find Album Info" in windows media player. Usually, it works, but when I check some files, it's always empty.

    Here is a picture of one of the many songs that suffer from this.

    As you can see, some songs are perfectly up-to-date. I tried to restart, wait a few days, etc.; the problem persists. It's frustrating because when I sync with my phone in any case, it appears as "Unknown artist" even if it is perfectly updated in the media player on my computer. How can I fix it? Thank you.
