Windows media player is anyway to get media player to recognize a zip file? I get the error message the media player can't read file - unrecognized codec?
I'm on windows 7 latest model home of wmp - i have checked no update is available at this time
Zip is a file format compressed - it can contain several files and folders inside. Windows Media Player will be able to play a Zip file. However, you can unzip the file (unzip) so that you can see its contents. If there is any right one media file, you will be able to read them.
To unzip, right-click on the file and select extract all.

New HP laptop, Intel processor running Windows 10 (so I find it almost impossible to find something useful on the computer system - I'm NOT a fan of Windows 10).
(I have a Mac and an iPhone at home, so am very familiar with iTunes)
Downloaded iTunes for PC version 12.3.3 (which shows in my downloads as iTunes6464.exe)
But when I try to install the package I get an error message saying "you cannot install this program on a PC. Contact the Publisher of the software. »
No previous iTunes installs on this computer... I have on this machine - it's the only other Apple Quicktime software.
I'll hop on the site of HP support too, but would like to help here, if they are available.

Specific advice Apple seem to be uninstall QuickTime, it should no longer be necessary and has a few potential security vulnerabilities. See Uninstall QuickTime 7 for Windows - Apple Support.
Assuming that you have a 64 bit system, this facility expected to be compatible. For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates. More information area has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, need to install an older version , or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software. It can help with the right button on the downloaded Setup program and use the run as Administrator option.

I use Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop. I am logged in as Administrator group member why not I have permissions to modify the file (I need to add an IP address to the list)?
I never had this problem when using XP, so why are administrator permissions so darn limited in Windows 7? And why does the system not recognize me as a member of the Administrators group? It's so frustrating.Windows 7 UAC (User Account Control) prevents rogue programs do things behind your back. Click Start / Help, then look for help on UAC learn more.
To change your hosts file, follow these steps:- Locate Notepad in your Start menu or in the System32 folder.
- Right-click.
- Left click run as administrator.
- Open the hosts file, edit and save it.

When I try to turn on "Windows Defender" I get an error message "ox800106ba".
Original title: error 0x800106ba.
When I try to turn on "Windows Defender" I get an error message "ox800106ba".
How can I activate the Windows Defender?Hello
If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.
There is nothing to worry.
Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):
"Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.
Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.
Once modified, click apply and OK.
Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"
.
If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:
"How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"
http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html
Or the program Autoruns for FREE:
"V11.21 Autoruns for Windows"

Windows XP
At startup I get this error Message =
Svchost.exe - application error the instruction at 0x7c919af2 memory 0x00000010.the memory that could not be written.
What should I do about it?
You don't need to "try" things - you need to "do" things:
It seems that the last update for Windows Media Player may contribute to this problem when the system has the Windows Driver Foundation Service active and running.
Unless you write your own drivers for XP and using the Windows Driver Foundation Service to help you debug, you should disable the WDF Service.
Click Start, run and enter in the box:
services.msc
Click OK to launch the Services Applet
Locate the Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework Service, right-click right the Service, select properties and choose disabled and OK your way out of the Services Applet to save the changes.
Note that you will not be able to 'Stop' Service first, but it's OK.
Restart your system (the WDF service is now disabled) and check your failure condition now.

Why I get an error message when you import directly XAVC images filmed on a Sony FS7?
I am importing XAVC footage of a Sony FS7, and when I import the file XDROOT, first gives me an error message 'Failure to import a file' saying only that "the importer reported a generic error." And yet, all the video & audio seem to actually come and play very well in the front. It seems strange and a little disconcerting, to get an error message that maybe I can just ignore.
If you do not import this file, you use the media browser to navigate to it and import from there.

Hello
I recently haven't been able to burn a CD with Windows Media Player (he worked last week, but not now). I get an error message "Windows Media Player cannot find the file. The link between the library item and its digital media file associated with may be broken. "Try to fix the link or delete the item. There is a web help option which says that to fix a link, you click on the blue icon next to the item, then click "Browse this article. But the only icon I see is a little blue triangle next to individual songs in the library pane or list, there is no icon next to the name of the playlist. Although the click with the right button on the blue triangle gives me a few options, "Browse this point" is not one of them. Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong and how can I sort it please!

original title: error with ehshell.exe
I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe. Could you help me?
This problem exists since the 1st Media Center. SP2 and SP3 had a difficulty, but it is obvious that it doesn't always. The same problem still exists in Vista today with a lot of other carried over from XP. System restore would work, but you do not have any good restore points so reinstall an operating system seems to be your only option.
You probably don't want to do an OS reinstall you need for Media Center, but since it does not at all, you might want to play then remove the Media Center updates and or SP3 and reinstall them.

I am trying to sync my ipod with my windows media player and when I connect my ipod windows media play is not read. How can I sync my ipod with windows media player?
Hello
Your MP3 player should have 2 settings - MSC that should allow the player to be used as a
external drive and PSG that is the parameter to use to sync with WMP11. Remove the MP3
and restart the computer. Change the MP3 in MTP mode - it power off and plug it in.I hope this helps.
