• 5 seconds before the end of each song, windows media player freezes about 1-2 seconds

  Hello

  I'm having this problem with Windows Media Player. I use WMP12 to play songs in MP3 format. Just before each channel ends, approx. ~ 5 seconds before the end of each song, for example, the media player seems pauses / freezes for 1-1.5 seconds. The freeze/pause is defintiely not intentional - the gel looks as if WMP is having a problem reading from a file.

  I searched but not solution yet discovered. I have turned on SRS WOW. I don't see as a problem because otherwise the songs play fine - disablying SRS WOW is not what you can call the problem. In addition, the reason why WMP stands out for me is its SRS WOW. If I'm not going to need SRS WOW, so I guess use VLC/MediaPlayerClassic, for example.

  Please help me. Thank you. The gel all spoils!

  UPDATE: I think it is about 5-10 seconds before the end of each song, the freeze occurs. I just had a.

  Yes, you can try to uninstall the current driver first.

  If this does not help, I suggest you check out the real manufacturer of the sound card. If the sound card is not made by Samsung, then it is possible that you will find newer drivers on the website of the real manufacturer.

• Windows Media Player freeze at the beginning

  Windows Media Player, at the start, is perpetually open. He opens the background and framework of the program, but never ends complete the library or creates any text. I let it stay open all day but no progress in the program at all. It is impossible to interact with (your arrow is the loading circle spinning and clicking on does not work) and the only way to stop it at this point is the Task Manager

  This happened to me often and the only solution that I found (and even it is not very reliable) runs a full scan of the system for my Norton antivirus. the problem is also solved when my Windows 8 updates. Once I did a system restore and that was able to restore to a point where he worked.
  I tried the program general troubleshooting and resolution problems of settings of the Windows Media Player as well as the resolution of the problems of the Windows Media Player library and or "solutions" to the problem.

• freeze an image in windows media player, such as an image

  IM using windows media player and want to freeze an image in the video by using the pause key and save it as a photo. Is this possible?

  Hi olie7002,

  Yes, it is possible to capture an image of the video.

  The steps you mentioned are perfectly fine to play the video and pause on the screen you want to capture and then save it.

  He may want to know:

  You can also play the video when you want to capture the image, press the print screen key (on the keyboard) and then to open a program, such as photo touch-up paintand paste and save it.

• Windows Media Player Windows 7 freezes during playback.

  My Windows Media Player will crash occasionally Windows 7. This happens when I play an entire album ripped to my computer and I click next to move to the next song. This has happened on several different albums and can't get on the same track. I have a Dell XPS 8700 (recently purchased, but with Windows 7 installed) with 8 GB of RAM and a processor Intel Core 7.

  I tried the program on the Microsoft site to fix WMP, and while the program worked, it has not fixed the problem.

  Any help will be appreciated.

  This problem can result due to many reasons such as several programs running at once, and the CPU usage increases. I suggest to try the procedure described in the following Microsoft Support article and check if it helps. This article consists of the steps to troubleshoot issues when the operating system hangs or freezes.

  Have you changed your save location of your music files?
  If so, to try to resolve the problem, open Explorer, under libraries, click the music tab and click Properties. Now make sure that your backup folder of choice is defined as your backup location. If not, click it and then click on the button "game save loction". It is perhaps one of your configuration settings which are not correct.

• Windows Media Player crashes

  I have a Pavilion laptop dv7 (P/N VZ500PA #ABG) running Windows 7, and even if I was using Windows Media Play on this computer for 18 months without any problem, recently it started to freeze on me sporadically. When I open a folder I noticed that it takes a long time (more than normal along...) I'm guessing 20 seconds) to answer. When I play a file she also occasionally ignores, and it has nothing to do with an error in the file.

  I'd be gratefule for any help that you could provide. Thank you in advance.

  In case anyone cares, I gave up on Windows Media Player because although some of the solutions provided in this thread solved the problem temporarily, it would start eventually freeze up again. So I downloaded Winamp, which freezes if I try to use to play the CD (but not Windows Media Player) and works perfectly when I use it to play MP3s (where Windows Media Player does not work). Unhappy that he had to come to this, but it seems to be the most effective practical solution.

• Windows Media Player crashes when you open a file

  The player program freezes when I try to open a video file from Windows Media Player.

  However, when opening a video file (right click > open with > Windows Media Player) the video plays normally.

  A month ago, has worked these two methods.

  Windows XP SP3 with all updates

  Windows Media Player 11

  If her videos only in a specific folder, you could try to reconnect all, delete the old folder and renaming this new or possibly leaving the new folder with a different name.

  It can also be a good idea to run the disk check to check there is no problem with the drive: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

• Windows media player crashes when you start cd play

  When I insert a CD in windows media player, screen freezes when cd starts playing and the sound is chopy.

  Hi RonnieDean,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. Are you experiencing a similar problem with a CD you are trying to play using Windows media player?
  3. You have security software installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  See the link below and run the fixit tool available, check if it helps.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
