Windows Media Player has encountered a problem during the creation or saving of playlist.

Since last week, I can't create a playlist in WMP 12 on windows 7.  Also cannot rip cd MS has no information about this problem. O.k. worked until last week when the updates have been installed.  Is there a way found to remove WMP 12 and return to WMP 11?  Or should I give up Windows 7 and go back to VISTA?  I did what I got so far, including restoring the computer to an earlier date.  Still does not work right.
 
Microsoft... Please fix WMP 12.

  • Windows Media Player has encountered a problem...

    "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem during the synchronization of the file to the device. For any additional help click web help. »

    This is the last error I get. Web site of Microsoft, and then said: you received the C00D1236 error message when you use Windows Media Player. Cannot sync the file.

    So, what led up to it is:

    1 problems with the device for a long time.

    2. Finally studied and found the latest firmware and update the device. This fixed some problems, which is excellent, but caused worse problems.

    3. I was getting: "Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file may be in use, you won't have access to the computer on which the file is stored, or your proxy settings are may not be incorrect. "on several random files. He could do and then if I deleted everything and tried again, it could do with different files. He took too long between files during synchronization. So, I found this post: http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=clip&message.id=18501&query.id=12003#M18501 and formatted with Windows Media Player. (I've now formatted every way possible, I think.) Of course, we fixed it. Problem files synchronized immediately, but then almost all my other files could not synchronize with the most recent error.

    A. in addition, the playlist does not work. Even if I get the playlist on the device, there is no songs in there. Songs/podcasts are only available through other classifications.

    B. After you have installed the program to update the firmware, there is now a remnant TSR who dies when I plug my video. "Universal firmware updater for Sandisk Sansa MP3 players has stopped working". Can I disable or uninstall this program, but it's just another problem. I am running Vista with all latest patches.

    Any help? You will be able to synchronize all files and playlists will work well.

    AHA! I think that I thought about it. I deleted all files in the Cache files of Player\Transcoded of AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media and now everything is sync again.

    He always does this weird thing once again. When the screen is black and I'm listening to something, if I hit the ring of command, as for example, hit the screen do not necessarily come back. I guess I should start another thread for this. It seems that there are different features that work better or worse according to the USB mode. I didn't know there was such thing before this problem.

  • Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close, heartbreaking.

    Recently, while ripping the cd to Windows Media Player 11 on XP Service Pack 3, I'm frequently getting the message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close."  It happens usually during the second or third disc.  I then close and reopen and am immediately able to rip the CD.  Sometimes the player will immediately be closed as soon as I click on "start rip."   Any ideas?

    The same thing happens if you rip to MP3 or WMA?

    Post here the technical details of the accident. Go to Start- run , type eventvwr.msc , and then press ENTER.

    In Event Viewer, access to the application log and look for an error in the list, there should be two entries for the last crash. Double-click on these two events and copy/paste their description in your post.

  • I get a message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem" when I browse me videos.

    When I browse my library of videos in Windows Media Player 11 on Windows XP SP3, I got a message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close." The message does not appear immediately, but after about 5 seconds browsing my library of videos. The details of the error are:

    Someone just tell me how to solve the problem. Apparently, some corrupt videos caused Windows Media Player to plant as soon as thumbnails of the videos have been read. I quickly changed to a non-thumbnail view, so the error would not appear (it appears only when you try to load the photos), then deleted corrupted videos. Thanks for the help, if.
