  Problems with media player 11 and all other players, playing music is broken?

  Hi all

  I have a big sound even and odd / problem reading music?

  My computer using windows media player 11 and classic media windows and others to play my music in the hard lists recorded by windows media player 11 copied from my CD.

  But here's the weird problem that only started to happen now, when I play music saved on any one of the players of the computer the sound breaks sometimes but not always?

  Even if I try tp use players like windows media player 11 to play recorded video clips sound breaks toward the top, but the video image only?

  I have a newly completed with windows xp home system and service pack 3, and all memory and material necessary for a pc game of level, a new graphics card was installed and by the way the problem of noise was there before this was done?

  I don't know what is the fault? And I don't know how to find out what the required audio driver are for his computer system I?

  I tried the right click on the audio device to see if the pilot could be updated in case that's all? All he asks is a cd or a floppy disk, but I thought you could ask to search for drivers online too?

  He even now breaks the game sounds too!

  Help, please

  If you access Windows Update (start - programs - Windows Update), you can
  see if there is a newer driver. The drivers are optional updates are not so made
  automatically.
   
  Download the driver for your audio hardware manufacturer (or motherboard if
  "It's built-in sound). They are often newer than Windows Update.
   
  This explains how to disable the improvements.

• Windows Media Player will not play error of MTS files that your computer works at low memory. Quit other programs, and then try again

  I am running Windows 7, 64 bit, home premium on a Dell Studio 1558 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD4500-5100 graphics card and an Intel Core i3. It has 4 GB of RAM.

  When I try to read files MTS using Windows Media Player I get the error message "your computer is low on memory. Quit other programs, and then try again,"even with no other programs running. Windows Media Player will play other types of video files without difficulty.

  Any suggestions as to what can be the cause of the problem and how to fix?

  TBH I'm not sure.

  All I can say is on my desk, I have not loaded a pack of codecs only support of any kind and WMP12 plays my MTS files very well. Supported by this statement in Windows Media Player 12 is also capable of playing AVCHD formats (. ) M2ts et . MTS ). ^{[13]" from -} http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Media_Player and the fact that in WMP12 - "Media files (all types)" MTS has listed as an acceptable format.

  My office has an AMD/ATI HD5670, and like I said seems to play.

  1. Have you tried to run a full anti-recent virus scan? If this isn't the case, update your antivirus program and run a scan full to see if it finds problems.
  2. Then try a sfc/scannow scan to see if it detects and fixes something.
  3. Just checked, you have installed WMP12? (it should be, but just a double check).

  This type of problem (or similar) has developed before items such as http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-pictures/Windows-Media-Player-and-low-memory-issues/bb4bf226-8bd0-41A5-9eed-9be08e6d3bdb and  http://www.TomsHardware.co.UK/answers/ID-1699934/computer-running-low-memory-Windows-Media-Player.html and some people said re-register the DLL of WMP files helped. Personally, I've never needed to test or try this kind cannot confirm.

• Windows media player will not play videos that I created a few years back. they use to play very well; now, I received the acquired codec error message. I use wmp 11

  My old videos in my windows media player will not play. acquire CODECS rises. I get audio but not video for all the movies at home. Movies that I downloaded and clips play very well. How can I fix it. I use wmp 11.

  Hello satindoll11233,

  1. What is the exact error message you get when you try to play videos?

  2. What is the format of the videos that you try to play?

  3. are you able to play other files with Windows Media Player?

  Media Player will not be able to play video files, if there are no required codecs or video format is not supported by Media Player.

  I suggest you to check the format of the video you are trying to play. You can also try the steps in the article to resolve this problem:

• Windows updates will not be installed. Windows media player will not play. Latest updates failed, error notice: 800703EE, 800b0100, 80070026. AVG says security "update server failed" help!

  Help! Last year, Internet Explore kept closing (Data Execution Prevention) so I switched to Firefox, which is great, but since then Windows media Player will not work. Moved this year on the campus of the University and since then (using the University proxy server) install windows updates is no longer. It's a new laptop me issued by the University last year, is come pre-programmed with Vista and Office, Media Direct and other programs, most of which I didn't use.  Technical support here at uni cant/wont help... can you?

  Trudy,
  Try the following and let us know the results.
  Run these tools:

  System File Checker

  The system update tool

  Take note of the results of the System File Checker.  Then after you run the two, run Windows Update.

  You are able to update of AVG?
  Any other antivirus (i.e. Norton, McAfee, etc.) has already been installed on this computer?
  When you say 'Nothing' that you tried to install?
  If you disable AVG and then run Windows Update you get a different outcome\error?

• Unable to sync music using Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player will not open

  Media Center will not sync music!

  I recently opened Media Center and I had no music in the library. I have constantly played music from the library so I didn't know what is happening. When I try installing the library again once it tells me that a necessary component for Windows Media Center is not available. I have not changed or downloaded something different. I went to check if Windows media Player is the multimedia file sharing. The message I get from that is, basically, that something is missing.  Now my Windows Media Player is not even opened. I wonder if my Zune Player (80 GB) has nothing to do with the problem. I charge my player when this has happened, but I do this all the time so I am at a loss. I went to the page "problem reports and Solution." It is the symbol of the Media Center window and says that the problem is caused by Windows. The solution is to update to windows; which I am fully updated. I tried to restore the system to an earlier date, but that doesn't work anymore. I'm at a loss to know what being of any help would be appreciated.

  As a side note video playback, TV and photos also works very well in Media Center.

  Thank you

  Shay

  Thank you, Shay

  Hi Shay,

  You can try the following steps and check the result:

  Step 1: Run the sfc scan to repair system files missing and corrupt.

  a. Click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right click Guest and then click Run as administrator.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

  b. type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

  The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  For more information, visit this link:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

  If the problem persists, try the reconstruction of the library:

  Step 2: Library rebuild Windows media player.

  This problem can also occur if the library is corrupted. Rebuild the library and check if this solves the problem.

  Follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

  3. Select all the 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.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

  3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.

• Windows Media Player will only play a sound with no video .avi and .mov

  I started having a problem where the Windows Media Player will only play the audio portion of my .avi and .mov video files.

  These files were created by my FlipCam or my Sony Handycam.

  I never had problems until recently and think that it is due to some kind of Windows Update.

  Both my computer and my wife's computer had the same problem and we are both using Windows XP Home Edition.

  I apologize if this topic already on this forum.

  Thanks for any help and advice.

  CoDec = compressor decompressor.
  A program is used to compress the file. You then need to unpack the file to play, you need the codec used to compress the file to decompress it on your pc.
  You need DVD playing software installed to power the mpeg codec, or you can buy a codec to just run in media player.
  AVI is a wrapper and may well contain more than 800 different file types, it has 800 different codecs!  Thus, to read an avi file, you should know what codec was used to do and have that installed on your pc to read.
  DV.avi is made with the dv codec, divx.avi is made with the divx codec.
  Of course, that manufacturers make their codecs, you must make sure you have the latest being, to be able to read files made with it, so everything just because you downloaded the codec divx 12 months ago does not mean it will play files created with codecs of today!

  I hope this explains it is ok for you.

  It surprises me that you say that you have downloaded all the updates of altest, but are still running wmp9, where we are now on WMP11 for XP and 12 for win7.

  I would update my WMP version first.

  Here is a page that will tell you that the codecs are on your pc and who has access to WMP 11.
  http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/HowToFindCodecs.html

  Here is a page that will tell you how to know what codec was used to create the file that you are trying to watch and also if you have the right codec for it
  http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/AVIcodec.html

  It is generally accepted that the codec packs adding is a bad idea, so if you need a codec to read a certain file, google it's manufacturer and just install the one you need.

  I would work just on the pc at the same time when you found what the problem is, you can fix on the other 2.

  Need more help with this, just ask.

• Windows media player will not play my downloaded movies.

  Original title: windows media player will not play my downloaded movies, so I know very lil on computers! Please help me!

  I have LimeWire. I downloaded several movies and can't watch them. When I try, it automatically showed the windows media player, and then displays a message saying "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. "I looked for updates, perhaps thinking that I needed one, he says: there is no availiavle. I use the latest version of windows media player. any help would be greatly appreciated!

  It's really a simple question, easy to fix. But if you are really not that familiar with the computer, you may want to ask a friend who knows enough to help you.

  You can show it to your friend...
  What you need is to 'google' for a FREE video converter.
  Use the converter and changge movies in WMV file formats. (Sticking with the formats WMV, nothing else).
  Once the conversion is complete, you can play these movies in your Media Player.

  However, there is another alternative. Install a 3rd party media player called VLC. He plays any video fromats.

• Windows Media Player will not play a. MOV file

  I have a new Dell laptop with Windows 7 Professional and Windows Media Player will not play a '. MOV' video file completely (the video but not sound). I am told by Microsoft Windows Media Player will not play a MOV file, and I need Codec VLC add on or another player who will play MOV file. What is the best solution and if its for download a Codec VLC, then what is the best source?

  Guess why?  [ :-) ]

  Types of files supported by Windows Media Player:
  https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

  Which was probably that there was a lack of understanding between the container file and the codec here (in November 2013).  He says he's a "MOV" does not mean that he plays with the same codecs as all other MOV files.  ;-)

  It is perhaps a better place to read up on this:

• My windows media player will not play a DVD

  My windows media player will not play a DVD: Microsoft Windows 95 Version 5.1 (Build 2600.XP_SP3_gdr.111025 - 1629:Service Pack 3).  Download a free version of media player to play the DVD?  Please tell me the name of the upgrade and where to find the free download version, if so.  Thank you!

  First thing that you do not run windows 95 if your build number is 2600.XP_SP3 it is a build number of windows XP.  Second, you will not be able to play DVDs using this version of windows and media player only.  The reason for this is DVD is a standard that a group of companies shut down and basically, they demand rights fees to use, it codec, which you don't have. You will need get a program that has integrated these codec (or find them somewhere).  Your best option for this is to completely abandon the but of the using Media player to play your DVD (unless you are looking to buy another piece of software).  There is a free option that I use on my machine Windows 7 Basic its called VLC is a free player that makes just about every format out there (not sure Bluray).  VLC uses its own codec (I think it's developed for the linux community orginially) rather than using the codec of the industry.  You can find the program at http://www.videolan.org/

• Windows Media Center won't play video, but Windows Media Player will be?

  I'm reading a video .avi with the xvid codec. I installed the codec earlier and it plays fine in Windows Media Player, but when I try to play in Windows Media Center, it indicates that one or more codecs are required to play this file, but they cannot be found. I know I would just watch with Windows Media Player instead of Media Center, but I want to watch it on my Media Center extension (my Xbox). I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit. Why does Windows Media Player with this codec and Windows Media Center not work? How can I solve this problem?

  -Slick05_1

  Hi Slick05_1,

  Thanks for the replies on the forum.

  Given that the Microsoft Vista Media Center and XBOX do not play the files suggest it would need to be a codec which solves the problem or maybe file conversion which would solve the problems you are experiencing.  Since the codecs for files is not something written by Microsoft, we do not have the information for that in our system.

  What I suggest is to go to your search engine preferred and in the search line and typing "is possible to play VLC on XBOX.

  WARNING:

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  What I suggest also done an online search using your favorite search engine for "play MKV files in Vista x 64 Media Center" to find whether there may be suggestions about codecs or these codecs created by other organizations then Microsoft.

  Please let us know if you are able to get this to work for you.

  Best regards
