• Media player shortcuts keyboard does not work with Windows Media Player 11

  Salvation;

  I upgraded my version of player 10 or windows media 11. Now my keys does not work. I was wondering if there is a way to solve this problem.

  Hello

  Do you mean the command buttons from Toshiba which control the WMP function such as play, pause, stop, etc.
  On some Toshiba laptops, Toshiba command buttons can be configured manually.
  Please check in the control-> Toshiba Panel controls.

  If you won't be successful I recommend reinstalling the Toshiba utility again

• Re: Satellite A300: Media Player & illumination button does not work

  Hello

  I just reinstalled vista, forward, back, stop, play/pause tactile control works but the media we and light, one does not work.

  Any suggestions?
  is there a driver I need to install to assign media to open media player and light to turn on the lights?

  If anyone can help I would appreciate it a lot.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  Lighting can be turned on and off in Toshiba HWSetup.

  But I think that the two buttons don t work because they are not configured correctly.
  Check the configuration!

  You can find it in _Toshiba-> Optimize-> Toshiba Assist button account support_

  Here you have to click the button then could assign the .exe file to be executed by pressing this button.

  Good bye

• Windows Media Player volume control does not work during DVD playback.

  When I play a DVD in Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center I can't adjust the volume with the volume control of the program or main Windows volume control.  Simply sound 100% flight.  It's on a HTPC connected to an A / V recevier, so the only way to adjust the sound with the volume of the receiver control.  When I play any other type of multimedia (avi, mp3, etc.) in the two WMP or WMC in the program volume control is working properly.  The interesting part is, when I play a DVD using VLC Player or Cyberlink Power DVD the volume setting in the program as well as the main Windows volume control works correctly.  This leads me to believe it's a software is not a hardware problem.  I think that WMP and WMC using the same "engine" so the same problem knocking them both.

  Other info:

  Windows 7 64-bit.

  Windows Media Player 12 version

  Audio is routed to the receiver via the digital coaxial

  For what it's worth, this same problem occurred with the same exact material when I'm running Vista 32 bit.

  All other software is the latest version with all updates installed.

  Any ideas are welcomed and appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Reinstall the WMP and WMC application and see if it works very well.

  1. open the Control Panel -> programs and features.

  2. click on Windows to enable or disable features in the left pane.

  3 expand the multimedia features, disable Windows Media Player. Click Yes to continue, and then click OK to exit. Then restart.

  Note: If you turn off your WMP, Windows Media Center will be off either. You may need to reconfigure the settings for Windows Media Center after her reactivation.

  4. open or turn off Windows features turn on again. Functionality in Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center. Turn it back on.

  5. launch Windows Media Player, initialize the program.

  PS: If you turn off your WMP, Windows Media Center will be off either. This does not happen when we choose to turn off MCE.

• Windows Media Player in Vista does not...

  I tried to access online training videos and must use Windows Media Player to watch... but it doesn't.  I tried to figure in program files so I can uninstall and reinstall but it is not listed there.  I also tried to upgrade, but it says that I have a version see more.  I did a scan on it and it found 3 bugs cleaned but NOTHING works!  How can I fix something you can't find even listed?  He isn't listed as a program, but still, I get a message saying that I have the latest version, so I can not upgrade or install another version.

  In Vista, Windows media Player is part of the operating system. It cannot be unonstalled, or you can install another. He lives and dies with the system.

  See if this Support MS tutorial can help you:

• 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.

  Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  ==========================================
  FWIW... Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is not an update... it's a disassembled
  version for systems that will not run Vista Movie Maker 6.

  The new version... would be Windows Live Movie Maker. It is quite
  different from version 6. If you decide to try it... plan on creating
  a new project because your version 6 files probably will not
  be compatible.

  Windows Live Movie Maker
  http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Movie-Maker
  (There are other applications included in the download...
  Uncheck the ones you don't want)

  As for the error... I wonder if you may have a compatibility issue
  with your source files.

  Several formats are apparently compatible with Movie Maker but the
  more reliable choices are:

  Photos - bmp
  Video - wmv or dv - avi
  Music - wma, wav, wmv

  Have you tried editing (save) your project in the WMV movie
  format and then importing the video file in Windows DVD WMV
  Maker?

  It is also possible that your project is too large or complex.

• Vista Business - > Win 7 Home Premium upgrade does not work with my Win 7 Home Premium Upgrade disc

  I bought a Windows 7 upgrade for $99 at Dell when I bought a new computer Win 7 and am finally getting around to upgrading my Vista Business.  The reason for road upgrading rather than clean install was to avoid reinstalling all applications, a major, major time sink, even if I find all the drives in application.  Is the upgrade to Win 7 Home Premium.

  After starting the upgrade, he stopped, telling me that I can only switch to Win 7 Pro, Ultimate or enterprise. For the upgrade to proceed, told me that he needed a clean installation and that I would then have to re - install all the applications.  I looked on the Microsoft site, trying to find how to set my Windows 7 Pro upgrade disc, but I have been unable to find how this could be done after through many convolutions of web pages.

  Could someone tell me please how to put my Win 7 Home Premium Upgrade disk to a Windows 7 Pro upgrade disc?

  Thank you very kindly for any response.

  I guess it depends on what side of the coin of your on. If someone bought the Windows 7 Pro upgrade, whereas they would have only a single lane of evolution, which is the more common scenario.

• External hard drive does not work. Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

  My external hard drive works. I tried to plug and when I tried to open it, it says to format the drive until I could use it. Everything works well as when I plugged the USB icon shown on the screen. When I check the disk management, it showed that the partition of the drive is there.

  I tried to change the drive letters, but still having the same problem. I also tried to run the disk check on the command prompt and the properties of the drive, but it still can not because there is error popping up saying that the disk check cannot be performed because Windows cannot access the disk.

  Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

  I tried the first step in troubleshooting the hard drive, but it gives a
  error in saying that "hardware changes might not have been detected.

  So I tried the second method, and when I click on the "Check now" button his
  gives an error saying that "the disk check cannot be performed because .
  Windows can not access the disk".".

  So is there any other way or option?

  Thank you
