Windows media player in windows 7 does not work

• How can I uninstall Media Player 12? It does not work.

  I would preferably completely uninstall Windows 7 and replace it with XP (I have a disc).

  Try to uninstall and reinstall via "programs and features" as per - http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-uninstall-and-re-install-windows-media-player-12-wmp12-in-windows-7/ see if that helps.

  There is a paragraph of this leave a link to completely uninstall it. I have not tried, cannot tell how good or bad, it works.

  There are a lot of free media players like VLC that work very well as alternatives.

  BUT before taking drastic measures, it may be worth the bother running convenience stores Media Player and see if they have anything detect. in "search programs and files" type "Troubleshoot" (without the quotation marks). In the list of results, click "Troubleshooting", click "programs" and run the wrong player media shooters see if they find something.

  Also run a SFC/SCANNOW checks if that detects and corrects errors in the operating system.

  (Must add even once, I never tried the deletion of WMP12, no idea how that it works or possible side effects.) If go you forward, he read attention in order to understand the process before you begin. )

• Windows Media Player 12 "Play To" does not work

  I am trying to use the "Play To" feature between two Windows 7 computers.  Both behave the same way.  When I select the "Play To" feature at the top right of the window, the "Play To" dialog box appears very briefly.  In fact, so briefly that I just see the outline - no text inside (I don't see "play to" in the title area).  I have all the media streaming features turned on and I can 'see' libraries (and can view all photos/videos, etc) - I just can't "play to." I tried two computers in both directions.  I don't get the error messages and I don't see anything in the log files.  Note that, when I try to use the "Play To" feature in Windows Explorer, I get the following error "as it is impossible to find the resource specified in the image file type."

• Update of Windows XP does not work, how do I stop the Office 07/10 updates?

  For these last months, the web version of Windows Update does not work with XP. When you click on the button for Express or custom installation, the stalls of system looking for updates. So I had to put windows to warn me of updates instead of going on the site, but now it keeps wanting to download me updates for Office 2007 and 2010, but I do not own these products (I use Office 2003).  I could not stop, even when I ticked the box does not warn me of those more. Finally I went to the site and found an option to disable Microsoft Update, which said I could always download the updates to the site, but I can't because he's trying to force me to re - download Microsoft Update.

  What is going on?  I don't like the new Microsoft Update as it keeps nagging me to download updates for the products that I have not yet owned. How can I update Windows XP only?  This is very fustrating.

  Hi Steve,.

  Follow these steps.

  Go to Start | Settings | Control Panel and double click on automatic updates. I'll explain why later.

  Then, tick the option at the bottom to turn off automatic updates, and then click apply/OK.

  Then, go to start, run, copy and paste this command and click OK: services.msc

  In the list of Services, you can see Background Intelligent Transfer Service ?

  Here's a pix what he looks like.

  

  If it is not listed, follow these steps to register the BITS service.

  Open the Windows search tool, copy / paste the following text, and then click Search: qmgr.dll

  Research should show this file in the following locations:

  C:\Windows\System32
  C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\bits

  You might only see qmgr.dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32 depending on your configuration.

  Then, go to start, run and copy/paste: regsvr32 qmgr.dll and click OK

  Do the same with this file: regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

  Reboot the system and then copy / paste this command into the field run:
  %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\qmgr.inf

  If you are prompted to insert the Windows installation CD, ignore this and in the dialog below, replace the path C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

  If you could only see the file in C:\WINDOWS\system32, change the path to that instead.

  Restart the PC and then go to the Services and you should be able to see BITS in the list.

  Double click on it and then on the general tab, click the Start button to start the service manually. This is just a test to make sure that it works correctly.

  If you get 2 error: cannot find the specified file, click on start, then run again and copy / paste the following command, and then click OK:
  Tracking Add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS\Parameters /v ServiceDll /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %windir%\System32\qmgr.dll

  Reboot again and try once more to start the PIECES. It should work fine now, but in the unlikely case where it fails again, run the following command, and then press ENTER:
  Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

  Reboot once more and then do the following.

  Go to this link and install the IE8 December Update:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-GB/download/details.aspx?ID=41404

  If you use IE7, use this link instead:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-GB/download/details.aspx?ID=41442

  Finally, go to the Windows Update site and you should be able to download normally.

  If this is the case, re - enable automatic updates in Control Panel.
