Windows Media Player starts to play the CD/DVD (in any tab) with AutoPlay disabled

On any tab, Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11) starts automatically play a CD/DVD when inserted.  Regardless it's 'Take no Action' set for each media or device on the AutoPlay control panel.  The OS is Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  The only modification or plug-in is Windows Live Messenger Music Plug-in that has been disabled.

Steps to reproduce (in the tab extract)

  1. The default value for all devices and media types 'take no Action' (via Control Panel)
  2. Open WMP11
  3. Change to tab extract, click on the drop down arrow
  4. Make sure that "Never" is selected under ' Rip CD when inserted automatically "
  5. Insert an audio CD
  6. You will notice that WMP11 won't start Ripper but starts to play

This isn't the desired system response.  I want the player to display the information of the album but not start playing.  Currently, I have to manually stop CD/DVD every time.  This behavior produces on each tab not only the tab extract.  However, this behavior does not occur if I play any format of media when you insert a CD/DVD.

I have a number of albums with information that WMP does not reflect accurately or replaced with incorrect catalog data.  Before the tear, I want to fix the information.

To be clear, what follows has already been done and checked:

  1. Go to the control panel
  2. Select "Hardware and sound"
  3. Select 'AutoPlay'
  4. Make sure "AutoPlay for all media and devices use" is checked
  5. Select 'take no Action' for each item listed
  6. Select 'Save'

They are for Windows 7, but I just checked that they work too for Vista.

    Might be interesting to try another.

  • Windows Media Player will not play the .mp4 files after installation IE10 - BEX error message

    Hello! Recently, when I tried to read a file .mp4 on Windows Media Player, the player would immediately stop working and tell me that he could not play this type of file, even if the day before he could do so without any problem. I had an option to close the program or click to more information, so when I clicked for more information, he gave me this:

    Back to a system restore point previous fixed the problem and I could again play the files in Media Player, but during the night that Windows updates installed and the morning I could not play these .mp4 files once more. So I restored to a point earlier, changed my updates so that they are is more automatic and by installing each day at a time, I finally isolated the problem in Internet Explorer 10. If I install that, just Windows Media Player will not play these files.
    I tried a manual update of Internet Explorer 10, turn off all the options of toolbars shit and everything, thinking that when it automatically installs those who may be included, but that has not helped. Had to go back to my previous IE10 restore point. So no matter what, Internet Explorer 10 kills my ability to play .mp4 on Windows Media Player files.
    I don't have toolbars running on IE9 at all.
    I know that's obvious answer is 'do not install Internet Explorer 10' or if I do, download another player for .mp4 files. But the fact is, it shouldn't happen, it is indicative of something being wrong, and I would like TO be able to install Internet Explorer 10 AND use Windows Media Player to play these files. If someone else has had this problem, or know a way to fix it?
    Here are my system specs:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
    Intel Core i5 - 3350P @ 3.10 GHz CPU
    ASRock H77M LGA 1155 motherboard
    8 GB DDR3 240 - Pin SD RAM
    Diamond Radeon HD 7870PE52GV 7870 GHz video card
    And all my programs are installed on this:
    SAMSUNG series Pro 840 MZ-7PD256BW 2.5 "256GB SATA III MLC internal Solid State Drive
    I'd appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you!!
     
    It sounds like your question. I think you should uninstall this update and
    hide and see if that solves your problem. Please report.

    I tried myself after experiencing the same problem and error code. I uninstalled the KB2670838 update, and then my Windows Media Player finally worked again. I also found that IE 10 must be uninstalled as well. Installation of IE 10 also automatically installs the update of KB2670838 platform. After uninstalling KB2670838, IE 10 automatically uninstall with it, better you hide two updates so that they do not install again. From the link in the previous post, I learned that the platform update is having problems of conflict with the AMD drivers. Good luck to you and hope this helps.

  • Windows Media Player does not play the full song - Y470

    Hello, I am having some problems with Windows Media Player, and I don't know how to fix it. The behavior that I meet is that WIMP would begin to play a song (from the library or a CD) and after playing a few seconds of the second OMP would jump to the next song. There is no consistency on the number of seconds that play before WIMP past to the next song. I can't find any option in the menu options that would cause this to happen.

    This started happening when I opened first WIMP. It's really strange. No idea what might happen? I would use another player, but I don't want to go through the hassle than other players (though very good) to provide compatibility with the synchronization with the mobile devices, playlists, etc... So I am forced to use WIMP. I need this problem well.

    It seems to happen with all players and all my music files. I can play the music files on my desk very well.

    Thank you


  • Windows Media Player does not play the Audio CD in Windows XP.

    Original title: Media Player 11

    Out of the blue, my media player has stopped working. I don't think I did something for him, but he started playing an audio CD. I have no error message, it will not play. I have another media player on my computer, which didn't interfere with Media Player 11, but I get an error message that says that it cannot open "" MRL CDSG: / / / D: / ".

    Hello

    1. are you able to play the songs in the Windows Media Player library?

    2. is the specific question on a CD?

    3. What are the types of audio file that do not play?

    Method 1: As happens with another player more, it might be that particular CD is corrupt.

    Try again with another CD and see if that plays.

     

    Method 2: Although most CD using the file system ISO 9660 CD Windows XP can read CD created by other operating systems may use filesystems not supported. The most obvious example is the Mac CD using the HFS file system.

  • Windows Media Player does not play the songs from the album in the correct order

    Hiya, had this problem for as long as I can remember. When playing an album with Windows Media Player with Windows 7, it will play all the songs that start with 1 first so for example track 1 then etc. 11 then 12 then finally back to 2. Also happens if I put albums on sd/usb cards and play through my car stereo.

    Do all titles should be renamed 01, 02, 03 etc?

    And just to confirm that shuffle is inactive lol

    It is possible that the tracks will be will play in the mess if you play from Windows Explorer (although I have been unable to reproduce this on my Windows 7 system). To avoid this, make sure that the titles are added to the WMP library and play from there.

    If you want to keep playing the Explorer, you can indeed rename 01, 02, 03 etc, you suggested already yourself. You can also switch to the Details view and sort by track number by clicking on the column # .
