Windows media player stops responding when you click on the link on the Web site

Windows media player

Every time I press a link on a site that allows a person to watch a video. Windows media player does not respond, what we get is a pink screen with the small blue circle, whizzing round a round a round. It does not even when we try to click on the wide screen...  Help please, very frustrated!

So using your media guide? or you are using a browser that has a particular video game that uses the Media Player plugin?  You may need a codec pack.

If you use media guide try watch it in your browser. Then tell me if this works.  Also you may not know that this media player will wait until the entire video is buffered before playing.

  • Computer stops responding when you navigate on the web

    Recently, when I was browsing the web, my computer began to crash for long periods of time. The strange thing is that it only happens when I use Chrome 17 or 12 of Firefox. When I use Internet Explorer 9 I have no problem. The 'freeze' happens randomly on any web page, when I click to scroll down or click on a web link. The browser becomes unresponsive, followed by the bar spots and the office. I just have to wait for five minutes. I don't like to use Internet Explorer; I find much slower in performance compared to Chrome.

    I use a Mobile Broadband, manufactured by ZTE, Vodafone Dongle to connect to the internet. I run the operating system of Windows Vista 64-bit Service Pack 2.

    Unless Microsoft has started making chrome and Firefox work does not correctly if you use IE, I'd appreciate any help.

    Hello

    I suggest you to contact the support of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox support for better support on the issue.

    Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • Windows Media Player - error C00D1198 when you listen to files online

    C00D1198

    I had the same problem over and over again with my Windows Media Player. He is not consistent, but it happens several times a day. When you try to listen to music on the net, I am having problems and receive an error code that reads C00D1198. I don't know what it means, and I would like to know how to avoid ever see that again. In addition, there were moments where I got Windows Media Player successfully, but after a while, the music would stop playing on its own.

    Hi Dazzlicious,

    Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server that hosts the content you want to listen to. You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

    1. The name of the server that hosts the content is not valid. If you typed an address Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in the Open URL dialog box, verify that the file name is spelled correctly and that the path to the file is correct, and then try again. If you clicked a link on a Web page, the link isn't valid.
    2. The server is not available (for example, the server is busy or not online). Try again later.
    3. For Windows Media Player proxy server settings are not configured correctly. Verify that your proxy server settings are correct.

    Follow the steps in the article below to check your proxy server settings

    When a close the lid of my computer laptop wmp stops and when I open it, it resumes. This only happens on the battery. I have it set to not sleep, and there is no screen saver. I want to use my cell phone as an mp3 player without having to leave the lid open. is there anyway to prevent a break?

    Open Power Options - you can do it from the control panel by typing Power Options in the start menu, or by right click on the battery icon in your system tray (right end of the taskbar.)
    Click on "change plan settings" for your current power management.  On the next page, click "Change advanced power settings".  On the box that opens, expand 'Power buttons and lid', then 'action close cover.'  Change the selection to "on battery" to the 'status quo', and then click OK.  Close the power Plan window.
