Windows Media Player does not not at the opening of the file and does not open directly to open it.
I get the error "Server execution failed" when I open any file to play with Windows Media Player and when I open WMP it opens at all.
Since when you are facing this problem? Was it just after installing anything, or done a system configuration to change? If she started recently, you can use system restore to restore the system to a previous restore point.
If this does not help, please open the Start Menu, navigate to all programs - Accessories , right-click on command prompt and select run as administrator . At the command prompt, type the following command:
sfc/scannow
and press ENTER. Let it run until it ends. If it finds no problems, and if so, is he able to correct? That you still get the error then?

I'm looking to burn .avi files that I found in the torrent files downloaded using utorrent on a DVD + R disc. I noticed in several forums that most of the people seem to have problems in windows media player. Someone mentioned a program in Windows Vista that could be used, but I'm still in the stone age with Windows XP. I took some advice and downloaded a program called ConvertXToDVD, but I don't know what to convert .avi files to in order to burn properly and play on a standard DVD player.
Any advice would be helpful.

The songs can be seen in the music library in a folder called 'Downloads' and I can open each song and he will play when double-clicked. The problem is that I can't create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the reading list, because the songs are not listed in the Media Library Player any hot it is sorted (artist, Album, Genre, etc.).
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
MitchProblem solved!
Went to: start == > Control Panel == > troubleshooting == > view all == > and ran troubleshooting on the library and the settings of WMP.
Convenience store detected library corrupt and "in media files appear in the WMP library. Then ran convenience store on WMP settings which reset OMP to default settings. After that, everything worked as announced.

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.

Hello

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:
