Windows Media Player opens with multimedia keys

How to prevent Windows Media Player when you use the multimedia keys to pause the music from opening other programs?

I have another program that uses the multimedia keys (Rdio). And when I stop my music, it suspends the Rdio program but open WMP when I do not want him.

I like WMP, but if I can't get this problem resolved, I'm going to uninstall it. Which is a shame, because I like to use the program for DVD and CD etc.

Please help, totally frustrated.

Hi DanielCook,

have you tried to Rdio default media player? Follow these steps:

  • In the opening different file types that Windows Media Player opens indicating does not support the file type or the CODEC. Why? Help, please!

    AT THE OPENING OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FILES WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER OPENS INDICATING NOT TO SUPPORT THE TYPE OF FILE OR CODEC. WHY? Help, please!

    If you try new types of files that WMP is not pregnant then it will warn you that they only peuvent malfunction.

    I got when I started to use video files to .ts format - he warned me, and then I told him to go ahead & try anyway, so he did and they worked.

    If say you your WMP to try to use the format, then you can include the results in your response to the request of zig - zag for more info - make sure to specify what types of files they are.  Note the messages you get from WMP because it will give more information that just what file extension are files - video files can be, for example, the extensions of files .ts taking video & audio formats of all kinds such as mpeg2 or mpeg4 & mp3 or ac3.

  • How can I prevent Windows Media Player rebuilds with duplicate songs, that I deleted?

    I moved my music files in Windows Media player for this computer with a 1 TB harddrive that I use just for storing music on. When I moved the music files from the computer Windows XP first putting them on a hard drive for the copy and paste and then transfer them to the hard drive of my M:\ the drive on this computer, many duplicates were transferred. I want to remove duplicates. I did this by pressing Ctrl and pointing out the duplicates and then pressing DELETE, and they are then deleted. But after that, it is a small blue arrow that goes down in the lower-right corner of Windows Media player from up and said "Equalization of the Volume" followed by the names of the songs, that is to say several times. M:\.... "For Windows Media player media recovery and rebuild as if it was before I deleted the duplicate songs? I want to also all my songs to be the mp3 type and some are mp4, so how do I fix all the songs to make them of type mp3. Thanks for any help.

    MP4 is usually a video file, I honestly didn't even know MP4 pourrait be used for audio, but this is beyond my skills.  I know that to convert files types, you will need to download a conversion program, Microsoft is no not any program that can do this.

    As for the deleted files that appears, open the Organize menu at the top of the media player, select 'manage libraries' and make sure that it is scanning the correct files.

    If the correct files are analyzed and double presents itself once again, right click on a song in double and select properties to find its location.  And then delete it from here, rather than media player directly.

  • Using Windows Media Player 11 with laptop and projector

    I finished recently update my laptop after an OS re-install and updates over a period of 2 weeks.

    I want to be able to play a video with windows media player by a projector.  The last time I did (before this whole saga has arrived), I was able to play the video on the projector mode full-screen, and still controls the media player on the computer screen.

    The problem is - I forgot how do.

    I managed to connect and drive the projector OK, so there is no problem.  I can't remember how to organize the media player to run in full screen on the projector with the controls on the laptop.

    My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6129tx with the Nvidia Geforce Go 7400 video card.

    Can anyone help?

    I discovered how do - just move the Windows player (mainly) on the projection screen, and then press ALT + ENTER to switch to full screen mode.  On the screen of the laptop, and then drag the Windows Media Player.  In this way, you have the controls at your fingertips and the presentation in full screen on the projector.

  • Windows Media Player starts with an error

    When I try to start Windows Media Player, I get an error box message "an application error internal that has occurred. Someone has a possible solution.

    Hi Paul,.

    You don ' say what version of WMP you currently have, but I strongly recommend to install the latest version from the Microsoft web site. It is possible that your current version is corrupt somehow.

  • What is the latest version of Windows Media Player compatible with WM 6.5?

    I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone.  What is the latest version of Windows Media Player, I can use?

    You can not.

    Your question was not entirely clear.

    WMP is for XP, not the HTC device. If you have Windows mobile on your HTC, then it will be a Media Player built into it. If you have the latest version, AFAIK you update from 6.5 to what is the latest version of Windows Mobile. If its 6.5, then you already have the latest version.

  • Windows media player syncs with USB

    My windows with my USB drive automatically media Player syncs.

    How to stop what is happening to the form?

    I opened WMP and there is nothing in the sync menu drop down.

    homicide on Thursday

    What type of USB key?  What is a flash drive?  What is the manufacturer, brand and model?  Some flash drives launch synchronization on their own without settings in Media player using only an Autorun feature - but I need to know what car I take care as there are hundreds of ads for many, many different readers.  It should be possible to disable the 'function' in the flash player (although I do not know how at the moment as it varies from one model to and depends of what software was loaded and which AutoPlay functions have been activated).

    I do not have it this is a problem with WMP, but with the player - but we'll see.

    Thank you and I look forward to your reply with answers so we can try to understand what is happening (and why) and how to stop it.

    Good luck!

    Hello.

    I don't know what I clicked at all initially, but now, most of my programs have been converted to open it with Windows Media Player, so that they cannot work.
