• How can I block Windows media player-all function or video?

  OK, I have one of four newspapers-ons in my pc that is locked down pretty tight where the only thing I want to work is word processor (WordPerfect and starting Word version).  My teenage son has impulse control issues, which gives more access means that it is wandering and not on the task.  Theoretically, he likes to play music while working on school assignments (writing) on the computer.  The problem is that apparently in addition to the execution of music files already resident on our pc and external drive, he inserted DVD in the dvd player and movies run (secretly) that are played to use the features of Windows media player.  My preference would be to hell video functionality or the ability to use the DVD drive under this opening of session and leave the ability of audio file.  Is there a way to do this?

  Alternatively, if I install another drive, can I block the video features of a different player and block the drive windows completely?

  Hi Akphoneguy,

  We understand that you want to restrict your teenager using Windows Media Player to play the video file but without impact on music files. However, the feature that you are curious about is currently not available in Family Safety. It can only restrict the entire working application and not a specific feature within the application. If you think that restrict certain features of any application is a convenient feature to have safe family, we suggest that submit you it as a feature request to Microsoft who appreciates your comments and considers that the suggestion of a future versions. Here is the link where you can fill out our feedback form.

  In regards to your idea to install a new drive and Windows Media Player blocking completely, as now, we have no information for the player who can perform the function you are looking for. We can only suggest what to look for any media player that may able to do using your search engine preferred.

  If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to reply to this message and we will do our best to help you.

• Windows Media Player cannot play the videos

  Since the last 2 months I find that my Windows Media Player cannot play the videos. After having tried many, I installed the third-party Codec such as GOM Player, GOM DECODER and GOM converter on an experimental basis. For all its operation I installed that for the second time (test period = 1 month). Now, I found some unusual - the entire screen with prop-up Windows began to appear "foggy, unusually large screen, Visuality fuzzy." So GOM was 'uninstalled' in the menu 'program & feature. When he learned from the Microsoft Forum I installed k - lite Codec system. Now, some of my videos recorded under 'Image' menu works fine. But the videos stored in the "library" of WMP is not reacting. I need your advice. Again, in a prop-up window of K-Lite has asked to opt feither for: (i) (ii) repairs, (Iii) remove or change. I opted for changing file Windows Vista Codec - was the selection was appropriate? Should I opt for Vista Codec file repair?

• Windows media player gets stuck in video but audio continues

  The video freezes randomly and sometimes the program stops responding for a few seconds. For some reason any audio works fine however. I've had these files on my computer for awhile now and they never have it so far.

  Hi Shelby Reyes,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community. I understand that windows media player gets stuck in video but audio continues very well. I'll help you with this problem.

  1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  2. have you made changes on the computer recently?

  3. what security software is installed on the computer?

  4. how much free space is available on the hard disk?

  Method 1.

  Try to use the Troubleshoot utility to see if that solves the problem.

  a. open the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel.

  (b) in the search box, type "Troubleshooting" and then click Troubleshooting.

  c. click on show alland then click the Windows Media Player settings.

  Method 2.

  A clean boot to test if any element of service or third party application startup is causing this issue.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: Once you have finished troubleshooting, follow step 3 in the article to start on normal startup.

  Method 3.

  You can update the video card driver and check.

  Update drivers: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Update-drivers-recommended-links

• WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11 HAS NO VIDEO BUT SOUND

  I downloaded and paid for the codec suggested Microsoft. Updated my Nvidia video card and it installed firefox plugin for WMP.  I can't get a video image, but get the sound when you try to play a dvd or the downloaded video. Not sure what to try next? Should I just remove WMp 11 and redownload it? Suggetions?

  Hi CLB43,

  Generally, this problem should be solved by installing the video codec. In my view, re - install the video codec should solve the problem.

  Also, make sure the file format you are trying to play if it is supported by WMP11 or not.

  Information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player

  Can what types of video files I play in Windows Media Player?

  You can also try to reduce hardware acceleration:
  1. click on start in the lower left corner of Windows Vista.
  2. click on Control Panel, click appearance and personalization, click personalization, click display settings and then click Advanced settings.
  3. click on the Troubleshooting tab, and then click on change settings.

  Note: The settings will be disabled if the graphics card driver does not support disabling hardware acceleration.

  4. move the hardware acceleration slider until it is one notch to the right of None. It is the basis of acceleration.
  5. click OK twice, and then close the window.

• My Windows Media Player will play the video of an MPG file, but it will not play the sound. What is the cause?

  I do video editing.  I transferred my camera video file and Windows Media Player played the video and audio very well at the beginning.  I edited the file with editing software and exported the file again.  Now, the sound will not play using WMP but it will play if I use video editing software.

  As a result, I've uploaded new files from the camera and now WMP not give me sound on those either.  If something seems to be affected by my WMP.  Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

  Hi rgosmond,

  (a) don't you get any specific error message when you play the video?

  (b) what is the file format of the resulting video file after editing by using the video editing software?

  (c) you are able to play the files on the computer? You hear the sound?

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  O make sure that windows MediaPlayer is not muted, press F7 on the keyboard to turn the sound back on.

  Ø check if the volume is at a minimum in Media Player, press F9 on the keyboard to increase the volume.

  Verify that the default audio device is correctly set

  1. click on start, type Sound in the box to start the search.

  2. click on sound in the results of search at the top of the start menu.

  3. click on the tab reading notice the check mark next to the default device. For most users, the default device is speakers. Make sure that the audio settings are configured as expected. Follow these steps:

  4. on the playback tab, select the playback device, click Properties, click the Advanced tab and make sure that the default Format is set to the value you expect. When you are finished, close this window to return to the previous window.

  5. on the playback tab, select the playback device, click on configure and make sure that the configurations are set correctly.

  6. If the sound settings are well positioned, you are using speakers as the audio device and your speakers are already set as the default device, go to method 5 now.

  7. Select the audio device you want as the default audio device and then click on set as default.

  8. click OK to save your settings and close the sound dialog box.

  Now, check if the problem is resolved.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

  Hello

  1. who is the operating system installed on the computer?

  2 - is confined to a specific DVD problem?

  To resolve this problem, you can try to install the video codec and check if the problem persists.

  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.

  A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

  More Codec please visit the following link:

  If you are using Windows XP - please refer to this article:

  Troubleshooting DVD playback in the Windows Media Player for Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306318

  You can search your favorite engine and download and install the codec that is compatible with the operating system.
