• Why not Windows Media Player 11 does not recognize w4a files in the library list more.

  I have Windows XP Pro (SP3) with Windows Media Player 11. I had a virus wipe my hard drive (everything has been updated) and after reinstalling and updating everything, it no longer recognizes the w4a files, but it automatically plays them the OMP 11 if I click on the file in Windows Explorer.

  Before the accident, all the files on my computer w4a was included in the library. Now the entire albums, as well as individual songs are missing. In fact, now NO w4a file is listed. So my question is, why does Windows Media Player 11 recognize the w4a files?

  Hello

  Method 1: I suggest you try the steps from the link below and check if it helps.

  a. close Windows Media Player.
  b. find the file of database on the computer that contains the entries of your library. In general, the library database file (CurrentDatabase_219.wmdb) is located in the following directory:
  (Drive :) Users/xxx(the user name)/Appdata/local/Microsoft/Media Player
  c. right click on the file and then click Rename.
  d. rename the file by changing its file .bak extension.
  e. start the player. When you do so, a new database of library file is created.
  f. press F3 on your keyboard to open the add to Library dialog box search for computers.
  g. click the Browse button to search for a folder on your computer that contains digital media files. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.
  h. click on the search button.
  The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder you specify and add to your library. If you have your files and playlists stored in different folders on your computer, you may need to search for files several times, by specifying a different folder every time.

  Method 2:
  You may need to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player.
  Here's how:
  To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
  a. exit Windows Media Player.
  b. Click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.
  c. Select all files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
     Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
  d. restart Windows Media Player.
  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Windows media player plays is not the wmv files

  I installed a new version of AMD Catalyst Software Suite V 12.2.00 08/03/11 and immediately pinned the problem of not being able to run the MWV Media Player files.  The media player will turn green and the audio works well.  I guess that my old (2008) Dell Studio 540 Intel Core Quad 2.66 Hz machine is too slow for all graphical applications included in the CCC again.  I uninstalled the entire update and installed the driver more AMD V 8.950.0.0.  Rebooted and tried to execute a file on Media Player WMV.  The same problem.  I went back to a restore point, until the day before the installation of the new version of the Suite software Catalyst.  Then I rolled back to the previous driver V 8.920.0.0.  Does not solve the problem.

  I finally ended up at this place where someone posted the same problem.  I went if the three methods that have been listed.
  Method 1: Go to the Play-year-audio or video file FAQ
  Result: Nothing useful there.

  Method 2: Re-save the file and check, it is that it works.
  Result: Panel received
  DllRegisterServer in successful wmvdecod.dll OK

  Method 3: Change screen Resolution.  My procedure was different from that used by anyone trying to help the first user.  I'm running Windows Vista 64 - bit SP2.  I had to go through the display settings, advanced settings.  Click on change settings and I received the message: your current display driver does not allow changes need to be made to hardware acceleration settings.  I then clicked on the Troubleshooting tab and received the following panel;  Catalyst Control Center cannot be started.  Currently, there are no settings that can be configured using Catalyst Control Center.     No big surprise that I had uninstalled the CCC.  Should I reinstall again?

  Having listed all the codecs on my machine, I have no idea what to do with them.  The only one that seems to apply is WMVideo Decoder DMO.

  My profile is:
  Dell Studio 540 Intel Core Quad 9400 Hz 2.66 6 GB memory
  Vist Windows 64 - bit SP2
  Dell E207WFR ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series

• My copy of windows media player 11 does not play video.

  My copy of windows media player 11 does not play video. When you try to play the video (usually an avi file) I get audio and visualization. I tried to uninstall and install new, but does not. I chose also to all types of files media player by default but video still does not play.

  An avi file is simply a container that may have different types of files in it for video and audio.

  You probably don't have the correct Codec to play the video.

  Either download a codec pack such as K-lite or download a little program called G-spot, open it and drag your avi file in the center of the small window of G-spot.

  It will then tell you what Codec uses the avi file. You can then Google that particulat Codec, download and install it.

  See you soon,.

• When I copy a CD in Windows Media Player 11 does not apply media information.

  With the XP sp3 operating system, I rip the CD purchased and Windows Media Player 11 does not apply media information. Either he gives and error saying that it cannot be done because I am not connected to the internet while I'm connected, or it can recognize my internet connection, but I have to do a manual search and manually apply the name of each track, even if they are present and order under each line I have to click to match the name of the correct track.

  It's so frustrating to have to fight manually for applied information on the media which is clearly presented, and after all, album art that shows correctly in the finder info media constantly refuses to fill in the library and I have to go to a separate Web site and copy and paste it in. Yes, he found elsewhere on the internet, with the help of the connection which was present all along!

  It's crazy, the info is already there! And why do I go online in any case the info is in the CD? This doesn't seem to be a problem with the previous players. Please provide a fix for this useless, frustrating dinosaur, waste of time, a process!

• Windows media player 12 does not reading music tags

  Windows media player 12 seems only to read some of my music labels.
  I use another program called media monkey to organize and play my music most of the time but the streaming and sharing features of WMP12 is great, the only problem is that more than half of my collection of mp3/wma in WMP with no artist/album/genre/etc
  If I right click on a track and "instead of opening the file" Explorer reads the tags of the tracks with no problem.

  In fact, I just checked and it's only the files MP3 which is can not read information from.

  Any ideas?

  I finally had the time to install the RC (build number is now 7229) and the problems disappeared. Just thought I would add this track to the top.
  WMP now works fine! Zoe

• Windows Media Player 12 does not work after you choose the initial settings

  Hello
  I tried to use windows media player 12 on my computer laptop windows 7 and it won't work. It worked the first time and I chose my settings, but it would not open the player itself. I tried to do it on the guest account, but it's the same thing. Does anyone know how to fix this? -Chris

  My post was actually in response to JRTLOVER:

  Why we cannot uninstall and reinstall from the CD just Media Player... or is there a way to fix this?

  I have seen that it was already proposed earlier in this topic, my apologies.

  Regarding your problem, have you tried to launch directly executable WMP? To do this, click Start, type wmplayer.exe in the search box and press ENTER.

  You should also check if WMP is already running: start the task (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Manager, look for one or more elements called wmplayer.exe on the process tab, select each item and then click end process , then try to start WMP again.
