• 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,

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.

• Problem with Windows Media Player: "Server execution failed" and "files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

  I have a problem with Windows Media Player on laptop Lenovo G780. My laptop is under warranty (bought a month ago), but technical support Lenovo told me that the Windows Media Player program is not covered by the warranty.

  And this is a problem:

  When I click on Windows Media Player - to about 0.1 sec I see it opens and closes the window and nothing happens.

  When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the option open with Windows Media Player - I get a message: "Server execution failed" - I checked that all services with 'Media' in the name are running.

  When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the open option with Windows Media Center - Windows Media Center opens with the message: "the files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

  When I select a file mp3 or wmv and right-click with option open with Windows Movie Maker life - see the video

  I tried to turn / WMP and WMC - did not help
  Tried to run as administrator - did not help
  I don't see something suspicious under events

  What can I do else?

  Thank you

  I had the same problem and then by chance, I tried a video on YouTube and it worked for me. Here's how I went on this issue and solved my problem:

  1. go to the computer, then OS (C).
  2. you will need to open Program Files (x 86) and Program Files.
  3. go to Windows Media Player in Program Files (x 86) and open the folder.  Then, remove the wmplayer file.  You may need to work around the error TrustedInstaller.  I'll tell you that, in a moment.
  4. in Program Files, go to the same folder for Windows Media Player and select the same file again. Wmplayer.  Copy the file in another window open.  Copy ensures that if the question comes up again you can at least try to fix it again.
  This should be the end of your problem.  If you need to circumvent the TrustedInstaller question is how:
  1. right click on wmplayer and select Properties > Security > advanced > owner > Edit > other users and groups.
  2. Enter your username and then click on check names.  Click OK.
  3. close the dialog boxes as he has requested.
  4. open again the properties and click Security.  Select your username from the list and click on edit.  From there, select full control.
  This should give you full control over the removal of the original file for WMP and easily allow you to copy the other files (x 86) programs.
  Please let me know how it goes for your problem.

  original title: Windows Media Player Script error

  I solved this on my machine after a few game.

  When you arrive at the last stage of the search for album information, before you click on finish, click the small globe in the upper left corner of the dialog box.  This refreshes the connection to the server.  Click on finish, then it started working again.

  Refresh a couple of times before that it worked but so far 2 of 2 machines working again on my other maching.

  Hope this helps!

  Thank you thank you. Sometimes, it takes "Refresh" several times but finally the player "seems" to calm down.

• When you start Windows Media Player I get error: "Server execution failed".

  Hello

  When I try to start Windows Media Player by double-clicking an audio or video file, I get the error "Server execution failed" for this file. Can someone tell me what this means and what I can do about it?

  Thank you

  Christi

  Hi Christi,

  You may receive this error if you try to open a file media shortly after the closing of Windows Media Player (WMP).  When you close WMP, the user interface is closed immediately, but WMP continues to be in a State of "shutting down" for a few seconds, and the process is still in activity during this period.

  To avoid this problem it should be enough to wait a few seconds before Windows Media Player opens, 2 seconds at least.

  If you encounter problems with Windows Media Player, try to use the Troubleshoot utility to see if that fixes the problem.

  Open the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Click View all, and then click the Windows Media Player settings.

  If the size of the .wmv files is too large, it can cause Windows Media Player to stop working.

  Let us know if that helps.

• Windows Update failed: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT? What is my Windows Media Player?

  Error message reads as follows: Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because it is not possible to activate the analog copy on the output display protection. Try to install an update for your video card.

  NVIDIA is not my video card? And why it will fail to update?

  Here's how to upgrade your graphics card:
  
  You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.
  (1) open the Manager of devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  (2) in the Device Manager, find your graphics under "graphics cards", and then double-click the name.
  3) click on the driver tab, and then click set to update driver.
  The graphics card will now be updated.
  I hope this helps.

• In windows 7, Windows Media Player does not work and displays "Server execution failed".

  I am facing a problem when I want to open the WMP it does appear anything (do not open) and when I try to open a media file, then it displays "Server execution failed". Could any body help me solve the problem.

  Things to try:

  • Uninstall WMP then reinstall it of "features" - "turn on or off windows features" develop ' media features. and uncheck the 'Windows media player' reboot your PC and then do the same thing but check WMP to reinstall it.
  • run WMP - problem shooters in "search programs and files" enter "help" (without the quotation marks), in the results click "troubleshooting." Click on 'programs' and run the WMP troubleshooters.
  • Run the wmp FixIt - go to http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/?wa=wsignin1.0 and run the FixIt of MP.

  If it still does not work, try a SFC/scannow scan.

  If all goes well, one of the highest peuvent help.

• "Server execution failed" in Windows Media Player

  original title: the execution of the server failed

  Often, when I play an audio file in Media Player, my computer loads for a few seconds and then gives the error "Server execution failed". I tried everything in this topic: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-sound/windows-7-media-player-server-execution-failed/ecc08c3b-d445-48c2-b07d-9df48500434f, but it does not solve my problem. I got the errors of memory before, but I fixed those.

  The suggestion worked for you? Try 5 second delay.

  Sometimes an audio file has a period of closure in fade or even silence or a low level at the end. If you click on to read another file before the file is actually finished playing, you get a server running has no reviews.

  It would be more elegant if the application produces a message of type "has a moment, please" and then fix the new request, but...
