Windows Media Player version problem

Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-Bit OS using w Service Pack 1.  Error message for Windows Media Player: wmploc.dll a version number of 12.0.7601.18150 where 12.0.7601.17514 was expected.  The message you want to know also if I wanted to reinstall WMP.  Went to the MS site, but don't see a version of WMP to WN7.  WMP worked before without a problem.

Hi John!

WMP is integrated in your version of Windows 7 and cannot- and disabled. Please try this: click the button start , click Control Panel, click programs and features, and then click turn on turn Windows features on or off. Search for multimedia features, click on the little + and uncheck WMP. Then restart and check WMP again. Restart, and then see if WMP now works fine.

Hope that helps.

See you soon
Julia

Thank you Julia for your answer.  I continued to search for a solution once I asked my question and found one that suggested the signing in as long as administrator and then by running the file system by typing 'sfc/scannow' scanner after invites it him.  It worked.

I appreciate your comments and will keep your suggestion in mind, in case this happens again.

  • Failed to start Windows Media Player - Version problem

    Hi all

    When I try to start Windows Media Player, I get the following error:

    the wmplayer.exe file has a version number of 12.0.7601.18526 where 12.0.7601.17514 was expected

    I used WMP on this machine before with no problems, probably most recently about a month ago. I have automatic updates on so I don't know exactly when this problem started. I tried to uninstall/reinstall WMP, but this has not led to no success.

    Here, any help would be great.

    Thank you

    Backup not working in all of these songs/albums that appear also in personal playlists. Does not account for all of the media/music in Windows Media Player. It is also not known where there are additional tracks from the same album, appearing in a personal reading list, these additional tracks (that is, it will take 2 album, but ignore the other 10).

  • Windows Media Player version 12 unable to display burn music and video on other media

    Hello

    I have Windows Media Player version 12 and when I try to burn my Playlist after inserting a blank DVD music videos play fine on a computer. However, when I try to play on a standard DVD (Samsung) drive that goes with your average TV, the reader does not recognize the audio and video files.

    Do I need to convert to a different format - and how, please.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Thanks for your reply.

    The audio tracks I have in my playlist in Windows Media Player (which is recorded as tiny .wpl file in my music folder Windows by default) cannot be burned to a DVD using Windows DVD Maker.

    In creation of Windows DVD, when I click on "Add of Items", I get a message saying "\Music\Playlists\myDVD.wpl is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported.

    An advise, please?

    Thank you!

    =======================================
    For importation into DVD Maker... you need audio / music...
    the. WMA format is preferable, but others may work as well.

    Check your music folder and see if the current music files
    are archived here.

    The .wpl as 'myDVD.wpl' files are Windows Media

  • Windows Media Player Version 12 new problem rip CDs: no album info.

    I use Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 Home Premium OS V..  I was rip CDs to this computer for years without any significant problems and have hundreds of CD in MP3 format in my library of music.  When I recently tried to rip a new batch of CD, the albums were coming all up as 'Unknown' album & artist, "track 1, track 2,... and follow n for the titles of the songs."  After the investigation period, a pop up window would come saying "Windows Media Player cannot download information on the media for this CD... "What has happened to WMP and how to fix it?

    HI - the first necessary check is if nothing has changed after a recent update for the media player (you may remember being asked to set your preferences) view of library in WMP go to 'organize' - 'options' and check that internet access is authorized and in the privacy, the "online display media information" tab is checked. If these settings are correct, then we will study more deeply... Thank you - r.
