There is no showing WMPlayer.exe is good. You must run SFC and CheckDisk and make the
other procedures to make it work.
After ALL the above if necessary to reregister the Jscript.dll and Vbscript.dll files.
Start - type in the search box - find command top - RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN
type or copy and paste-> regsvr32 jscript.dll
Press enter
type or copy and paste-> regsvr32 vbscript.dll
Press enter
Restart and if all goes well, it will run now.

Windows Media Player does not download mp3s? Help!
My Windows Media Player won't let me download mp3s more? He always says, "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. For any additional help, click Help on the Web. "Websites, I am using have ALWAYS worked for Windows Media Player... now all of a sudden, they don't work on any computer in the House. WHY is this happening, and how I go about solving this problem? "Web Help" did not help.
I use Windows Media Player 11. I did the "Check for Updates" and he said that I have all the updates. Is there a WMP update version that I could download? It is maybe just out of date? Bonnefoi! Aggravating circumstances.
Hello
1. what site you're talking about?
2. DON'T you get the same error message when you play music on Windows media player?
Given that the same problem has happened on all computers, it could be a problem with the site itself.
You can also try resetting Internet explorer and check to see if it helps:

Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11, version 12 is sucks.
Hello, Simone
I'll assume you're on Windows 7. Windows Media Player 12 is not supported on Windows Vista or XP and as such, you will need to go back to Windows Media Player 11.
You can check the permissions in the registry to ensure that it is able to record information.
Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.
Open the registry editor by clicking on start, type regedit.exe in the search box and press on enter, you may be prompted to continue.
In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, MediaPlayer, then Preferences.
It should be an element named LastLocation_26, right-click on it and select Rename, and rename it to old LastLocation_26.
Leave the open registry editor and open Media Player, then move it to your favorite place and close Media Player.
In the registry editor, press F5 on your keyboard and check if LastLocation_26 has been recreated.
If this is not the case, there is probably a permissions problem.
If so, the location must be registered.
Let us know.

My windows media player does not automatically recognize when a disc is placed in the disc drive. I have to put the disc in the disc drive, and then close windows media player, with the disc in the disc drive already, then re-open windows media player.

Windows Media Player does not support the codec used to compress the file.
I can't do some of my videos to play it goes on to say that Windows media player does not support the codec used to compress the file. How can I fix?
Hello
What is the file format of the video files you are trying to play in Windows Media Player?
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.
You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:
(a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.
(b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.
Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.
Please see the bottom of the article that gives you information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992
If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.
WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE
Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
See the link below for more information on the codec.

Windows Media Player does not open or play. WMV files.
Windows Media Player does not open or play. WMV files. I am running Vista and everything is automatically updated the newer versions. Windows Media Player worked fine a month ago, when he would be dismissed intermittently just opening. Restarting the computer should solve the problem. Now, however, I can not open the drive or open any. WMV files that used to play properly in the past. Reboot and clear the cache and cookies does not work. On the other hand, the Media Player for Internet Explorer plugin works very well. Please notify. On the other hand, the Media Player for Internet Explorer plugin works very well.

Windows media player does not work as no driver DVD
Had to format drive (trojan) & reinstall Windows XP home. Now Windows media player does not work as no DVD driver download from Toshiba site?
Hello
Usually the Windows media Player is not able to read DVD movies IF no plugins were installed.
To watch DVDs, you can use programs such as WinDVD or PowerDVD.
These programs are designed for the DVD play!But you can also visit the Microsoft Web site and search plug-ins for Windows Media player.
Then you can download and install to play a DVD with WMPBest regards
