  • Tips on how to make Windows Media Player DVD playback are not the player of Tosh

    I don't want to use the Toshiba Media Player pre-installed to play the DVD, I want to use the Windows Media Player installed. I can't change the default to WMP in the Panel DVD player as the only options are Player Toshiba or Nero.

    WMP can play CDs, MP3 etc but cannot even play DVDs in the drive. Anyone got tips on how to change this?

    I agree with Liam
    VLC Player is much better than WMP.
    This small utility of s dealing with almost all possible formats and not stress much on the hardware.

  • Windows Media Player not able to burn the 80 minutes of audio

    MEDIA PLAYER NOT ABLE TO BURN THE 80 MINUTES OF AUDIO ON CD.

    I want to burn a 77-minute cd in media player and can not.   I add a playlist to the burnlist and Monte total autonomy than 77 minutes.  I use a 80 minute cd.  Media player automatically moves the last two songs on my playlist of 77 minutes and registered the disk "next".  I want to record the 77 minutes of music on a single cd.  Any suggestions?

    flustrated1, you use Windows Media Player to burn a CD, and if so, what is your WMP version? Where exactly did you select CD burning without gaps ? As far as I know, only WMP 12 supports CD burning. Tim Baets

  • Why Windows Media Player is not displayed in my list of programs and features?

    When I go into the Panel and then programs and features, Windows Media Player is not in the list. If I click on the Start button, then all programs, his list here. When I click on it, it opens, but it is not any music listed to see if it works. My question is, why it is not listed in the programs and features in Control Panel? Must indicate all items that are installed on my computer, at least I thought. If someone has an idea, I would appreciate a response. Thank you for your time and your help.

    All the built-in programs that are part of the Vista operating system will NOT be displayed in programs and features. To simplify the reason, Windows Media Player 11 is part of the operating system and cannot be uninstalled. So there is not need to be listed in programs and features, whose main goal is to uninstall or repair any installed programs. Another example is Windows Defender.

    For your information:

    In Windows 7, Windows Media Player 12 is also part of the operating system and it cannot be uninstalled and it will not reveal in programs and features either.

  • Windows Media Player does not display of MicroSD songs album art

    Summer love the Surface Pro offer functions since I got the 9 February, but lately, I've been a few software/hardware problems here and there. One of these issues is with Windows 8 itself. Go to a 500 GB SSHD in my old laptop with a 128 GB SSD in the Surface Pro forced me to move no delicate libraries or all the files on a 64 GB MicroSD card; No delicate part of these things is my music/iTunes library.

    After that, I then open Windows Media Player and noticed that it lacked all the artworks of my music organized itunes album in library view. Thinking it was just Windows Media Player still missing support for .m4a files (even if the file Explorer supports them clearly), I tried to add the album art, and it made no difference. Then it crossed my mind that maybe its Windows Media Player that does not support display cover from a disk full out of the primary. So I have moved the library to its default location, open Windows Media Player and it shows ALL of my music organized itunes album artwork.
    Move back to the new MicroSD is back to square 1; Windows Media Player is not display Album art. All geek/hacker knows a fix for this? I am confident in the modification of ANY part of the file system on my computer, including the registry. Thanks in advance.

    This looks like a problem of indexing. Windows just indexes not removable media by default particularly well. http://digitalmediaphile.com/index.php/2012/11/02/how-to-use-Windows-8-RT-apps-libraries-and-removable-media/ might help.

    A .lnk file is a standard shortcut in Windows. The shortcuts are very often placed on the desktop, or in a control panel application such as Windows Start menu Launcher.

    Looks like that file Associations may be corrupted on your system.
