• my windows media player will not sync the audio for my mp3?

  my windows media used to synchronize all audio of my mp3 player more I don't know what happens. the pc is reading being installed, but every time I try to sync the music my windows media player stops working.

  Hello RedFeather01,

  Ø you get an error when you try to run synchronize your device with the media player?

  Ø have you tried to format your Portable device and then try to synchronize?

  Ø you have the latest version of the software or the driver installed on your computer to the MP3 player?

  Try to copy the files of music from Windows Explorer. Most MP3 players will appear as a "disk" on your computer, and you can browse the files on them by simply opening.

  I suggest that you format your Portable device, and then try to sync with Media Player. To format the laptop drive:

  1. right click on the Portable media player.

  2. Select the option.

  3. choose quick format and click ok.

  Thank you

• Windows Media Player does not play the Audio CD in Windows XP.

  Original title: Media Player 11

  Out of the blue, my media player has stopped working. I don't think I did something for him, but he started playing an audio CD. I have no error message, it will not play. I have another media player on my computer, which didn't interfere with Media Player 11, but I get an error message that says that it cannot open "" MRL CDSG: / / / D: / ".

  Hello

  1. are you able to play the songs in the Windows Media Player library?

  2. is the specific question on a CD?

  3. What are the types of audio file that do not play?

  Method 1: As happens with another player more, it might be that particular CD is corrupt.

  Try again with another CD and see if that plays.

   

  Method 2: Although most CD using the file system ISO 9660 CD Windows XP can read CD created by other operating systems may use filesystems not supported. The most obvious example is the Mac CD using the HFS file system.

  I clicked on "check online for a solution", but nothing came.

  I tried to install an earlier version, but was not allowed to do.

  How can I solve this problem.

  Hi Nick91606,

  KERNELBASE.dll is a file system of the operating system.

  Method 1

  I suggest that you save the file on your computer and check if Windows media player works.

  (a) click the Start button.

  (b) in the search box, type command prompt.

  (c) in the list of results, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (d) in the type command regsvr32 kernelbase.dll line press ENTER.

  (e) close the command prompt

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

• Windows Media Player fails to establish the library, followed by files

  Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center lost their libraries - they are unable to control my files or to recognize the played titles (not that I usually do that the quality is as 1912 not 2012). If I put manually the address in my music folder so that it can be monitored, still nothing in the library.

  Music has always been low on this DELL Studio most of the angles - 4 or 5 different ways to do everything but none work well or overall.

• Windows Media Player in vista has stopped playing my video files (.) MOD extensions)

  My Windows media player recently stopped playing my video files that have a. Extension of MOD, although the audio is not yet once the video is crushed. When the video freezes a computer bubble lets me know that the driver igfx has stopped working and then recovered.

  I spent many hours trying to solve this problem. My graphics card is an Intell chipset and it is up to date with his driver (I checked), the motherboard is an ASUS and this is far too - I checked. I ran an auto fix and that disabled four codecs, but the problem persists. I have run the sfc / scan now processes at the prompt as an administrator and it came clear.

  The problem is driving me crazy! can anyone help? When I play the video on another computer that works under XP, I have no problem.

  Thank you

  John.
