Recently WMP gives me the message "a problem has been...". "When I plug my MP3 player or flash drive into any USB port.  Then it crashes and I have to close it manually.  Any ideas?

Hello

1. have you done any hardware changes or software on your computer before this problem?

2. what version of Windows Media Player do you use?

3. What is the full error message that you receive?

I suggest you to rebuild the database from the Windows Media Player library. Subsequently, check if the problem persists:

If you use Windows Media Player 11, refer to this link: you cannot view, add, or delete items in the library of Windows Media Player 11

Hope the helps of information.

  • Windows Media Center does not work when on a remote desktop session

    I have just Setup Remote Desktop on my local server and connected my laptop... whew that was a task in itself!

    Server - Windows 7 Ultimate w/Media Center installed

    Laptop - Windows 8 Pro w/Media Center installed

    I am able to run the Windows Media PLAYER on the remote desktop, and it seems to work fine after that I added the libraries to it.

    BUT

    When I run Windows Media CENTER I get a message that "Windows Media Center has stopped working... Windows is checking for a solution to the problem. "The message goes away and that's it.

    Anyone got any ideas on how I can get the WMC to operate on remote desktop?

    Not very well why this would be considered as a matter of "ITPro.

    It's probably debatable that MS really intended for MC to be used via RDP, I'm not sure they believed that the feature has been used very well at all judging by what they were doing in Windows 8

    However, there are two possibilities on the cause of this. An update of the RDP client can be the culprit, but it is not always a good idea to block any update.

    You can also the following reg key

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\Rdp-Tcp

    added needs of the user group have included in its read access permissions. You can also use the run as Administrator option when you start Media Center.

  • Windows Media Player and external drives

    I agree with Carbonite for backups.  Carbonite recently told me that my external drive (g) was disconnected during the backup.  I bought a new drive (E :) and Carbonite restore files that were used to be on G: to E:.  It took two days.  Now Media player sees any of my music files.  Carbonite has been of no help saying that they are not familiar with Windows Media Player.  My OS is Windows 7.  What should I do?

    Hello

    If you say that your music files are now on a different drive, you will need to tell WMP to go pick them up.

    1. open WMP.

    2. go in:

    Organize-> manage-> music libraries

    You should now have an open box where you can manage locations WMP gathers his information. Of.

    Hi, I bought this back in 2008 and it has been flawless since today... I tried to use it and the controller is unable to connect to the receiver.

    There is no light on the receiver, even when I plug it into a different USB port there is still nothing... I even tried another computer. I assume the receiver is nakered?. Can anyone shed some light on this?

    If the receiver is so broken, can I buy this receiver on its own and that it will be compatible with my wireless controller Xbox 360 instead of having to buy another expensive controller...
