• Windows Media Player looks like it is in a canyon.

  I found a page that I could change the sound effects in WMP 11. Now, it looks like it's in a canyon, play music.
  How to get back my original sound for my WMP11? I can't find the page that I changed it on.

  What you say has worked perfectly.

• Windows media player looks like it works but no sound? not cut

  can't play a wav file

  Just for the bowl to the possible confusion, I guess you know WMP & the system volume controls are independent.  Volume of inhibition is in cut WMP [and volume level setting is a combination [for example 50% in each 25% of the overall volume results].

  You probably knew this, but I think it is worth the visit.

• My sound has a huge amount of reverb, and it looks like mickey mouse

  the speed seems normal its just strange. His bad card or retouch?

  If you have a Realtek Audio Driver...

• Skins for Windows does not apply on Windows Media Player 11

  I use Windows Media Player 11 for Vista 64 bit and I download a skin and try to apply it to every time it won't work. It only works if I double click the skin file and I won't continue to do it every time. I tried to look for answers to this problem of alreadt, but every single response is to go to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-how-Windows-Media-Player-looks-using-skins and it does not at all help.

  Hi Matt,

  You save the skin before applying it or run it directly?

  If you save the skin before applying, you must double-click it to apply. Other wise, you must change the mouse settings to use the single click.

  For more information, you can consult the following article:

• "Windows Media Player 12 - corrupted library.

  original title: the woes of 'Windows Media Player 12.

  Good first day and all.

  "Windows Media Player 12" (like the one provided with 'Windows 7') - I can't get it to work reliably.  No, this, scratching for 'reliable' read 'at all '...
  We have a library of about 35 000 titles, coded as "Windows Media Audio (Lossless)" (so using the Microsoft CODECs).  My sync.s with a Microsoft Office "Windows Mobile 6.1" ' phone ("HTC" "Touch HD" to be precise).
  Usage only I do 'Windows Media Player' is to synchronize playlists with my ' phone.  I tend not to listen to anything to help I have much better way to listen to music through a system of his PC and speakers crammed into an LCD monitor.  So "Windows Media Player" is just sitting there in the background.
  And some days she who will be quite happy without problems.  However (average) about 3 - 4 times a week, it will crash just randomly - up comes a dialog box saying «Windows Media Player has stopped working...» » ; or upward will come a message on my workspace is corrupted - "Media Player" will apparently remove and recreate automatically for me the next time it starts.
  The problem with that is it then everyone loses sync. settings, because it creates a new ID of the library for the new library, so I have to go and re - set my mobile, re-set-up device synchronization settings all the playlists I want to sync, etc etc etc etc and all this only after a wait of several hours for "Windows Media Player" to actually re-created the library first place.
  Basically, it's the two 'Windows Media Player' himself and tries to synchronize the music with my mobile device actually completely unnecessary and impracticable.  I'm not fan of Apple products but with Microsoft software using the Microsoft CODECs and synchronization to a mobile operating system of Microsoft being so completely and totally unnecessary I can quite understand why people just go and buy iPod (or iPhone, or...)-at least Apple understand media, including Microsoft obviously doesn't...
  So, after only 4 hangs 2 library reconstructions and only today (he is obviously having a particularly bad day today...) I thought that "enough is enough" and sought technical support options.
  Now, I'm not about to pay stupid amounts to Microsoft to tell them that their software is broken, and for them, finally, to answer "Yes, and? ...".  So I thought I would look on the Microsoft support site to see what options are available.  Apparently none - despite 'Windows 7' having been out for a while now, all Microsoft support pages only refers to 'Windows Media Player' versions up to version 11.  Come on Microsoft, which is pretty poor, is it not?  I know only for about 2 years 'Windows 7' RTM (Release To Manufacturing), so maybe it's a little early to wait to talk about "Windows Media Player 12" on your sites... support?  (this is sarcasm, in case anyone was wondering...)
  So I turn on the forums.  Does anyone else have a great experience (and I think that ~ 35 000 titles probably called 'wide') libraries with "Windows Media Player 12", and if so have you had any problems?  Someone has suggestions for additional diagnostics (for example, try to establish exactly what causes the library should be damaged or for 'Windows Media Player' suddenly to be considered "stopped working")
  ?
  What's happening on my machine "Windows 7 Professional (x 64)" with 8 GB of RAM and a lot of free space on the disk, so resources should not be a problem. "  It also happens on all the various other machines that we have here (all running "Windows 7 Professional"; for most of the "x 64").  It never used to happen with all that the latest version of 'Windows Media Player' was to 'XP' (but who had his "own collection of the bad guys to use"ActiveStink"...) so there shouldn't be anything specific library - it certainly seems to be problems specifically with "Windows Media Player 12".
  Any suggestions gratefully received...

  Method 1 fixed an issue, I've had where Media player would not start.    If I tried to play an mp3 file I get "Server error".  Bad shooting Diagnostics said my configuration was corrupted and my library was corrupt.  But it didn't fix it. Uninstall and reinstall using Windows features has not solved my problem.   With the FixIt solution, my problem has been resolved.

  Hi elottier,

  1. what type of file you are trying to play?

  2. what version of Windows Media Player is installed on the computer?

  This seems to be a Codec problem. A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

• Windows media player displays the video like a color negative

  Had to wipe my hard drive and do a reinstall of Win - XP. Media player format has changed (another screen w / options) when you open attachments to emails, they play like color negatives. The audio seems normal, but the video is very bad.

  When you reinstall the operating system... you need to update completely
  the system for the current versions. You may need to
  update your video driver and you need also a current more
  version of Windows Media Player.
