    Hello Pacone

    According to Walter, Microsoft Windows Vista comes with Media Player 11. So please could you clarify the application you are using? The version you gave I guess maybe it is Windows Movie Maker. Here is the link for Windows Live Movie Maker 2011. You can download the latest Live Movie Maker from here. http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Movie-Maker?OS=other

  • Windows Media Player for Vista, does not play my avi files and says he has a codec error?

    Came across this problem trying to put an AVI in powerpoint presentation for the school. I don't know how this happened or how to fix the error. The error indicates that windows media player is not the right codec to play the video. However, when I sent it myself and opend it upwards on another computer, which doesn't have powerpoint, it plays very well.

    I did some research as to what a codec for windows media player, that's what code and decodes the video compression. However, when I tried to download the appropriate codec file, there is nothing. Not even useful workaround solutions.

    In addition, went and downloaded quicktime and it could not read the video either.

    Any help or ideas would be greatly apreciated. Thank you!

    Hi DaisyReaper,

    Are you able to play .avi files?

    You can use your favorite search engine to download and install the latest codec for Windows Media Player. Subsequently, check if you are able to read .avi files.

  • Why Windows Media Player does not have 32 bit Vista Home basic

    Why my Media Player for Vista 32 bit disappear? I had earlier today and now it's gone. Not even appear in the programs.

    Please, open the Start Menu and type wmplayer into the search box. WMP appears in the list?

    If this is not the case, use Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player. WMP starts when you double-click the wmplayer.exe file in this folder?

    Hello Shelby57,

    You can try the following to see if it will get your Windows Media Player in Windows Vista.

    Make sure that Windows Media Player is set as default.
    Go to start. Click default programs. Set default programs. Select Windows Media Player, and then select "Set this program as default". And then click OK.

    First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

    This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

    Reboot your system.

    Rename/Delete the "Windows Media" folder located under %userprofile%\appdata\local\microsoft

    Now, go to Windows Media Player, do a right-click and select "run as Administrator".

    You should now be able to open Windows Media Player on Vista.

    I hope this helps.
