• 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.

• 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.

  Hello

  1. don't you also get an error with the message code?
  2 have you installed third-party readers part?
  3. What is the format of the files you are trying to play?

  Follow these steps and check if they help.

  Step 1:

  I would have you readers of third party temporarily Uninstall and check if persists it to the question.

  Step 2:

  Most likely you need codecs to play these files with Windows Media Player. I suggest looking up codec in the Internet that supports the file format, download and install them.

  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.

• Windows media player for ipod

  I have a rocket and an extensive library on Windows Media Player. VERY pleased with the "rocket".

  My wife has disappeared and I bought an Ipod Nano. Wives... what ya'll do... can't live with 'em, can't kill EM.

  Is there a way to transfer/sync my library WMP for Nano?

  Would it not for Nano, how do you copy/transfer my library to the Itunes library? Not my first choice, duplication of files on my computer taking up twice the space.

  Pouvez the Fuze sinc with the Itunes library?

  I can't talk to you about the "rocket" with Itunes sync, others have tried, so you will have to look.

  ITunes will catalogue your existing library without duplication of the songs.  Ipods and iTunes now playing to popular formats such as mp3 and wma.  ITunes will put them in the library without problem, almost.  My Itunes is trying to convert the files to the native format for Ipod but I still cancel the conversion.  Add the folder with your music to Itunes library.  ITunes will start converting the non - m4p files m4p but who cancel.  ITunes will then ask something else, answer Yes (I forgot the exact issue).  The second issue is Itunes adding your existing library to its catalogue.

• Windows Media Player will not sync with my iPod

  I have Windows Media Player 11 on my laptop, and when I try to sync my library with my iPod, windows does not show even my iPod is connected. I made my drive by default, but I don't know what else to do.  Other programs such as iTunes and Bearshare see my camera very well, is there something else I need to download or what? I've tried everything I can think of, and I am at a loss.  Can someone help me please?

  Hi VicVicVictoria,

  Windows Media Player are not compatible with the iPod. You may need to purchase a plug-in to sync the iPod to your windows media player.

  Otherwise, you will get assistance from Apple to download and use iTunes from the IPod website.

• Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. (MPEG)

  Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. (MPEG)

  Don't know why Windows Media Player does not accept your mpeg.

  Just a suggestion:

  Use a video converter and change your mpeg to wmv format and read it.

  If you don't have a video converter, google for a free Converter. No need to buy a.

  You can also install VLC media player.
  It's free.
  He plays almost all kinds of formats.
  It is widely used and recommended.
