Windows Media Player is not responding when a DVD is inserted in the drive of the computer

Windows Media Player is set as default program for reading DVD but when I insert a movie on the disc, the drive does not open.  I am also unable to open the DVD of the first Media Player opening.  When I play some older DVD, the player actually open and operate.  I guess I must miss some codecs or something but don't know where to find them or how to install them.

Yes, you need codecs.

  • 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 will not play a. MOV file

    I have a new Dell laptop with Windows 7 Professional and Windows Media Player will not play a '. MOV' video file completely (the video but not sound). I am told by Microsoft Windows Media Player will not play a MOV file, and I need Codec VLC add on or another player who will play MOV file. What is the best solution and if its for download a Codec VLC, then what is the best source?

    Guess why?  [ :-) ]

    Types of files supported by Windows Media Player:
    https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

    Which was probably that there was a lack of understanding between the container file and the codec here (in November 2013).  He says he's a "MOV" does not mean that he plays with the same codecs as all other MOV files.  ;-)

    It is perhaps a better place to read up on this:

    Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11, version 12 is sucks.

    Hello, Simone

    I'll assume you're on Windows 7. Windows Media Player 12 is not supported on Windows Vista or XP and as such, you will need to go back to Windows Media Player 11.

    You can check the permissions in the registry to ensure that it is able to record information.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    Open the registry editor by clicking on start, type regedit.exe in the search box and press on enter, you may be prompted to continue.

    In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, MediaPlayer, then Preferences.

    It should be an element named LastLocation_26, right-click on it and select Rename, and rename it to old LastLocation_26.

    Leave the open registry editor and open Media Player, then move it to your favorite place and close Media Player.

    In the registry editor, press F5 on your keyboard and check if LastLocation_26 has been recreated.

    If this is not the case, there is probably a permissions problem.

    If so, the location must be registered.

  • Windows Media Player does not work on Windows XP.

    I was still having problems with my windows live messenger I did a clean through my computer of viruses and and anything that may be damaged and then I let a friend 'fix' that believe him when he said he could. Windows Media Player worked well before he touched and now it will not respond the same way. I also use Firefox as my main browser, only then if someone else who uses the engine might be able to help or whatever at all for this player. He worked 5 hours trying to get it working right again, but eventually gave up. It also seems that all sites that I thought could help ended up being for vista or windows 7-8. windows media player doesn't work I have to do a lot of, click on this and that and then play. I want to just back to normal. thx for the advice

    Original title: How can I fix windows Media Player so it will automatically play CDs or DVDsit stopped after I cleaned my computer.

    Thanks for all these possible methods of fixing. We did in those 5 hours trying to make it work related things. my friend had installed all sorts of uprising "Tune Up programs (which I told him not to do so), but after he did this." It is when I have a few things that worked before orders also. as well, it didn't speed up my computer nor in any case. then after I uninstalled all his *, ran all cleaners and antivirus programs, cleaned the Vincent of cookies that have been in my wall of cookie and don't have a boot scan system. and then passed through a finger and put a cd in and I heard run and a list of options appeared with the selections as game cd on Media player so I high informed that clicks on the box on the bottom, saying always remember this clicked on ok. and easie peasie it worked. I remember now that the way back in 09 when I got this computer, this option is given then to so I do not know that are a little devil programs Sotah but thank the Lord that I found myself in the end fixing. Unfortunately, it was after I went to the community for help when I decided to give him another chance to just put a cd and see if I had to go through files and click on the media player, and then click in the list of play but I had that pain in the butt. I don't know if faith had anywthing to do with my luck but I prayed for help earlier and well I got it! Thank you for your time giving these great options of measures to take. may blessing come your way Lori

  • Satellite A110 media Apps for Windows Media Player do not work!

    Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite A110 Notebook since 2006.
    2 days ago a friend formatted my laptop. In order to make the systemstart a bit faster, he stopped a few applications of Toshiba in the configuration of the system. My laptop now very well VannerieUn.

    But here's the problem: before the format I could use these multimedia applications useful for my Windows Media Player - mainly because of laziness to switch between programs during the work. :-)...
    But now, they no longer work. :-(

    Is it possible, that we stopped a request, which is important to make these applications to run?
    Or is an additional driver?
    Or they work only in cobination with Windows Media Player 10. (now, I installed WMP 11)

    I hope for your useful replies.

    But think, that I'm not this great computer genius! ;-)... :-(

    Try to enable all disabled applications. Go to START > run and write MSCONFIG inside.
    When the System Configuration window is open go to the Startup tab and allow all applications with blank Startup Item.

    Restart your computer and check if everything works well again.

  • 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.
