• Windows Media Player 11 for Vista problem with skin mode

  My Windows Media Player for Vista (premium) works well for more than a year.  The other day, for the first time, I chose to start it in appearance (small) mode.  The hourglass appeared, then she flashed "not responding".  When I searched for help, help app has just ended.  When I asked for more details, the message says "a problem caused this program blocking interact with Windows.  Problem event name is AppHangB1; version of the app is 11.0.6002.18065; Hang sign is e710; Blocking type is '0 '. timestamp of the application is 4a5dce03.

  I went into Control Panel to try to fix, but Media Player is not displayed as an installed program.

  I tried to download and reinstall, but it says that my version is more recent than the downloadable version.

  I tried to remove the program .exe file and I was told that I needed permission (even though I am the administrator).

  I ran the cmd scan, but he said that some errors could not be fixed.

  I tried to run regedit, but my computer says there is an error and could not work.

  So I can't open, remove, repair or replace the Windows Media Player 11.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I saw another thread that has suggested to delete three registry entries.  That did not work, but because WMP didn't work, I felt "BOLD".  I've therefore deleted everything in the registry, including 'by default'.  And guess what?  It worked!  He put back me in full mode, I'll leave the skin only mode.

  Thanks again.

• Why is-Windows Media Player slow at startup?

  When I run WMP window opens immediately, but it takes nearly 12 minutes to complete commissioning.  During most of this time, the CPU usage is 0%.  All applications starts almost instantly and WMP works fine, once it finally started upward.  The program itself is stored on a conventional disc SSD, while the music files on a hard drive and they total 871 mb.  My system is a processor i5 with 8 GB of RAM, running Windows 7, 64 bit.

  Why do you think it takes so long to start?

  Hi SimonRichards,

  ·         Did you the latest changes on the computer?

  2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

  3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 2.

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

  3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Method 3.

  I also suggest you to re-record the files related to Windows Media Player.

  To do this, follow the steps below:

  a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  b. at the prompt type regsvr32 wmp.dll command and then press ENTER.

  Type regsvr32 jscript.dll, and then press enter

  Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll, and then press enter

  c. restart the computer and check if the problem is resolved.

  You can also try to turn on or to turn off Media Player.

• Windows Media Player loading at startup in Windows 7, I don't want it to do this.

  Media Player starts when I start my pc.  It does not start if I just do a restart, only the stop/start.

  I saw these a response to a problem XP
  1 have start-> all programs-> startup
  If you see WMP, a multimedia file any in the folder, delete.
  You may need to display the hidden files and folders.

  No Media Player file there.

  2. go into your control panel, administrative tools, Services. In the list on the left side, find Windows Media Player, hover over the Startup Type column if it says "Automatic" double click it and change it to manual.

  Already the manual

  3. start-> Run, type msconfig. Click on the "Startup" tab, scroll down and look for Windows Media Player, clear the check box in front of her.

  Not there so nothing to uncheck.

  It's irritating and I need to know how to stop it.  My other solution, of course, is to go to things of all the programs/display Microsoft and disable the thing completely.  I know how to do if I need to.

• Windows Media Player Date out of sync with PC

  I noticed that when I added "Date last played" a category on Windows Media Player, the date indicated changes 6 hours before midnight.  In other words, songs played before 18:00 (18:00) CDT show today date, while the songs played AFTER 18:00 (18:00) CDT have date of tomorrows as "Date last played."

  It seems that the date in the database for the music is out of sync, but I can't find a way to fix it.  It's more annoying than anything else I want it fixed.

• Cannot download plug in for windows media player. Have used the site to download and it says it worked, but the plug-in does not appear on my list of plug-ins.

  I tried to hear an appeal of a Web conference. Received a message, necessary plug windows media. Check my plug ins, no windows media. Reading about firefox support tutorial. Clicked on download. Had a window that requires repair or change. Tried to fix it and then change. Need better guidance on how to finish download. Download the message passed, but after firefox closing and re-opening, no still no plug-in for windows media in the list of plug-ins. Go to site and could not hear Conference.
  Reading support forum. Message while using about: config. Tried, typed in on: config in Start menu, but do not see anything that looked like I could change for real like message said.
  solved by opening internet explore and go to the website and listen to the conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying: If you want to enable media player click here. Not so heard Conference.
  Tried using chrome. You have to listen to the Conference yesterday. Today, he had the same message you need to plug in when I tried to follow the instructions in connect, it was just as confusing and useless like firefox. Most is that I tried to make any statement in the suggestions forum for firefox and can not get the windown media connect to appear in my list of plug-ins and can not hear calls for conference on firefox.
  Chrome said that they worked on connect available to the chrome store.
  I agree with the comments that I was able to go to web sites and to hear the calls before firefox did an update that removed my windows media plug. The fix simple download, two from windows, does not, apparently because firefox cannot find the fix. This isn't for lack of user, and it seems that windows attempted to provide a fix, and firefox does not recognize.
  Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, that trying to get windows connect multimedia player installed on firefox. What is a browser, if you can not hear an appeal on the Web site the browser will take you to? Please make it easy install windows media branch on firefox. Thank you..

  If you get the screen to change/repair, it means that the Setup program has detected that you have already installed the plugin.

  Do you not see the file here:

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins
  

  Its file name is: np - mswmp.dll

  If the file is missing, I suggest to delete and then reinstall the plugin.

  Edit: By removing and then reinstalling I mean using the delete button under the modification and repair buttons in the Setup program, and then run Setup to reinstall.

  Hi buckeye33,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. you receive an error message with all the videos played using Windows media player?

  3. who is the manufacturer of the graphics card installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  Nvd3dum.dll is a file associated with the driver installed on the computer Nvidia graphics card.

  (a) open settings display by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization, and then clicking display settings.

  (b) click on Advanced settings, click the Troubleshooting tab, and then click change settings.

  Note that some video card drivers do not allow allows you to change the settings.

  (c) move the hardware accelerationslider to zero to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest that update you the graphic card driver by visiting the manufacturer site map download and install the latest update of the driver, check if it helps.
