  Media player from Windows

  Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder. And... He
  is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...
  do a system restore to a time before this started
  may be your solution.

  Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Info about DVD decoders:
  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player

  Were you able to sync previously?

• Windows Media Player-can not read audio files

  Situation of Media Player Codec XPsp3!

  I'm having a terrible time with the opening of the files and exts. in the media. I get the error that I don't have the appropriate codecs, but these files are very common (IE; Download mp3 multimedia guide) I click on more information to my problem but was sent on a wild goose chase it seems! Any suggestions? ANY help is appreciated... Even soothing words!  Thanks in advance (I HOPE?)

• New version of Windows Media Player does not support extracting mp3... suggestions?

  My home computer has crashed and had to be rebuilt with the new operating system.  So I got the machine back with what I assume is a newer version of Windows XP.  New but, as usual with MicroSofty, not improved.  Now they apparenty realize that they make any money of format mp3 and everything just stopped supporting.  (imagine if Nikon stopped supporting jpeg format?  ) They try to convince you how fantastic their new WMA file format is and do you want to hunt for a bolt on app which will tear actually mp3.  And where they send that you do have an app to do what I can see.

  I installed lame, but which does not allow mp3 rips.

  Any suggestions?

  There was once a version where you had to manually install the codec BLADE. I thought it was a LONG time there, but maybe he was 10?

  No matter, 11 > 10. Already install and arrive at tear.

  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.

• Windows Media Player - reading issues error that Windows Media Player is not installed correctly. Reinstall the drive.

  When I click on a song in my library to play, an error message pops up saying "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly. Reinstall the drive.

  I have not had this problem before and it happened the day directly after my computer went through an update of Windows.

  A man ideas, please?

• Error in Windows Media Player, Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. You want to install the Player from the Microsoft Website

  I don't know how or why it happened, but one day to another, WMP won't open. I tried to open an MP3 file, and he says that WMP has not been correctly configured "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. Do you want to install the player from the Microsoft Website? ».

  I assumed that since I had to make some updates yesterday, that he was at fault, it had installed an update/new version of WMP and it was either buggy or doesn't work do not, so I went to the Windows updates, but no recent updates on the list had a remote connection with Windows Media Player.

  So, I accept the first proposal of the error message, and I'm headed to the Windows Media Player download page on the Microsoft Website. However, the version I should install (which was the one I already had) has Windows Media Player 12 for Windows 7. But this option is locked for me, and as I tried to install it, it says it is not compatible with my system. Not to mention, it's a whole package and not just the WMP installation.

  I tried everything and nothing seems to work. It won't even let me uninstall WMP because it won't let me open.

  My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. And the error messages that I get to try to launch any WMP feature (the tool, the installation program, no matter what), opens an error window stating that "there is a more recent version of Windows Media (12.0.7601.18150) player already installed on your computer. It is not possible to use and more old (12.0.7601.17514) installation package to install files or repair your current version of the reader. »

  Please, I ask for any intervention in this case.

  This arises from time to time, but I don't think that there is a difficulty of 100%.

  You can try (in no particular order)

  1. uninstall, reboot, reinstall WMP- http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/26107/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-player-in-windows-7-to-solve-problems/ if that doesn't help, try a SFC/scannow check - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
  2. There is this diagnostic tool - http://support2.microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/ that can help (from http://support2.microsoft.com/fixit/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0 )
  3. You could try a system restore to a date before the problem occurred to see if that helps - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/system-restore-faq#1TC=windows-7 and see if it gets a WMP work back
  4. Last resort, a repair install - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html
  5. Or just simply forget about WMP and try another party 3rd multimedia player that you can install and uninstall at will, as free VLC - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

  But it may be worth waiting a while to see if someone else has a better solution.

• Windows media player does not work as no driver DVD

  Had to format drive (trojan) & reinstall Windows XP home. Now Windows media player does not work as no DVD driver download from Toshiba site?

  Hello

  Usually the Windows media Player is not able to read DVD movies IF no plugins were installed.
  To watch DVDs, you can use programs such as WinDVD or PowerDVD.
  These programs are designed for the DVD play!

  But you can also visit the Microsoft Web site and search plug-ins for Windows Media player.
  Then you can download and install to play a DVD with WMP

• Windows Media Player does not recognize the new downloaded songs

  I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: race AY014AA-ABA, Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  I just found out that Windows Media Player does not recognize the songs, I recently downloaded from Wal-Mart music download Site.  The songs can be seen in the music library in a folder called 'Downloads' and I can open each song and he will play when double-clicked.  The problem is that I can't create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the reading list, because the songs are not listed in the Media Library Player any hot it is sorted (artist, Album, Genre, etc.).

  Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Mitch

  Problem solved!

  Went to: start == > Control Panel == > troubleshooting == > view all == > and ran troubleshooting on the library and the settings of WMP.

  Convenience store detected library corrupt and "in media files appear in the WMP library.  Then ran convenience store on WMP settings which reset OMP to default settings.  After that, everything worked as announced.

  Thanks to Big_Dave for putting me on the right track.
