  Here are a few things to try:

  1. make sure that the disc is clean.

  2. Select a recording speed (write) more slow for the CD burner (recorder).

  3. try a different brand of blank discs.

  4. stop all other programs that are running.

  5 disable any programs that could activate themselves, while burning is in progress, such as screensavers or anti-virus programs.

It's sad.

• 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?

• 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/

  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?

  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.

• 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.
  Here is the download link:

• 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:
