  • Windows Media Player does not update album art and album info.

    I have a desktop HP Envy h8 - 1417c 64 bit PC and I've recently updated to 8.1 of Windows (from Windows 8 - entered loaded on the PC). After the update, Windows Media Player still works fine, but it doesn't accept new information when I try to extract one of my new CDs to the library of music and album art. It search in the internet and search the correct art and information, but when you click on accept, nothing happens. CD selections simply remain blank. I can still see the info from old files and art (before the update), so I know he kept what was already ripped. I also have a vague called music editing software yet (which works with Windows 8), and he finds no more album. Also, I loaded iTunes and have no problem to find illustrations of album and info with this program. Is there something that I am missing? I can't find anyone having this same problem on the internet. Thank you.

  • 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
