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
Driver AMD V 8.920.0.0
Windows Media Player V 11.0.6002.18311

  • 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.

    Hello

    You need to open ZIP files, which are compressed to make it smaller, then use the content
    in the application appropriate - so if the audio or video content can use WMP.

    Compress and uncompress files (zip files)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/compress-and-uncompress-files-ZIP-files

    Although Windows has integrated ZIP, you might be more comfortable using a program
    with more features (and works with different types of compressed files).

  • I downloaded a file of visualization for Windows Media Player from Microsoft. The downloaded file is there, but I can't seem to read in the media player. How to play?

    the file is: next-generation visualizations. The Publisher is Microsoft. Advanced 3D Hardware. Version 1.0.0 of download:PsychedeliaVizPak.msi product name

    Type: Windows Installer 5.53 MB Package of: download.microsoft.com

    When I go to the media player and use the bars drop to visualizations names of downloaded files are there, but when I click on it the screen remains empty. I downloaded other visualizations and they work fine.

    Hello

    .msi is simply microsoft program so if you have windows, means that you can run it... ;) I had the same problem too, but it turns out that it was caused by my graphics driver... I have nvidia and its recent update supported not only such things... I had to reinstall the whole system and now it works again (that I na not reinstall just cos of visualizations) but try to reinstall your graphics card driver... hope that helps... :-) or you can even try the opposite... uninstall the current driver and run the older again, might help, but will prevent probably other programs functions...:-/ then make the choice... :) but I can confirm that psychedelia skins are pretty cool... ;)

  • 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.
