  Windows Media Player won't play the .zip files. How to see or play these files? I'm 67 and not tech savvy thanks for the help.

  Hello

  ZIP files are compressed, so you need to unzip and then play the content if the
  content is of type WMP files.

• Windows Media Player won't rip CD more. I put it in MP3 format. I get the COOD1OD2 error message.

  Windows Media Player won't rip CD more. I put it in MP3 format. I get the COOD1OD2 error message, and by virtue of the clarification it indicates that the error message is COODOFBO which says that the setting of the CD in Device Manager do not match parameter of cd in the drive. I use to be able to rip the CD months ago. I just upgraded to WMP 11 because the sansa clip has not been recognized and updated WMP. How can I fix this.

  Thank you

  It seems that you did not actually transfer files... did you
  check files on the jumpdrive to see if they would play?

  Might be interesting to try another.

• Media Player won't launch

  I've been running a HPa6130n for the past four years with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Today, I tried to start Windows Media Player, but it would not launch. Is not very clever to solve problems of this nature I don't know what to do. I tried to launch Media Player anyway, I know, but without success. I tried the solution that has been in the "find answers" section but that did not help. No matter what I click on Media Player does not open. It is as if she is no longer in my programs (but it shows that it is). Any suggestions?

• Windows media player won't let me sync my music on my mp3 player and I've never had a problem before

  whenever I try to sync the music on my mp3 player today it says that windows media player cannot find the file. If you are trying to play, burn, or synchronize an item in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted. and I nothing marked c and can not understand this please help

  What version of Windows are you using?
  What version of Media Player?

  Did you move all the music files recently?

  Check that the music you are trying to synchronize are playable, if they are not, check their location of file to see if they are still there. You may need to re - add to the library.

• Windows Media Player won't play videos

  I have Windows XP Home Sp 3 with all updates.

  There are three computers in my house, all with the same OS.

  We'll play videos and memories on TV with Windows Media Player slideshows, but others will not.  Who will play has been longer and maybe have a better codec.  Otherwise, I don't know why.

  I prepare a thesis on slide TV show which will be sent to about 100 people.  It is the DVD-R format and will probably be played on DVD players for which there should be no compatibility issues.  Some will want to see on their computers, however, and this is where the problem arises.  I use mostly WinDVD, so I have no problem, but what do the people who have that WMP?

  I don't understand why WMP should do by default.  Do I say to people who want to see the DVD on his computer?

  Hello

  You have converted this file to windows media player supported file types or they should have DVD decoder installed on the computer.

  Thank you all for trying to help me, but I solved my problem. I write for other people who have this problem as well. That's what I did to fix my problem and Media Player is working GREAT!

  You must remove these keys

  • Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Setup\wmp.dll
  • Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Setup\wmploc.dll
  • Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Setup\\wmplayer.exe

  BY DOING THIS-

  1. with the help of vista as your operating system, go to your desktop.

  2. try to press F1 for help

  3. type this in the search box... HOW TO OPEN THE REGISTRY KEY?

  4. There are 30 results, I guessed...

  5. try to click on the "back up the registry.

  6. then click on 'Open the registry editor'

  7. in this case, you can see all the folders, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

  8 she, hope this will help you...

  and then, you will find the names of folders and these keys should be there. If you are computer illiterate, I'll be happy to help you. Thank you guys for trying to help!

• Windows Media Player won't let me burn CD, "connect a burner and restart the player."

  I use to be able to copy CDs on my computer. Windows Media Player now, says "connect a burner, then restart the player."

  There must be something simple that I know, I'm just bad at computers :)

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  Problem with vista media player - R & R Installer

• Windows Media Player won't take the exit.

  It's a little weird.  When you play any of the music or video in media player, if you click on it X or exit the application, it is supposed to stop playing music or video.  The problem I have is that it is not.  He continues to play in the background and I can't figure out how to let him stop playing.  I have to finish ebb in media player and hit close then exit.  Even then I'm not sure its background nteh entirely closedi.  How can I get windows media player to exit when I type the exit?  I can't find anything in the options that it says must remain open in the background and continue to play.

  Holy buckets.  I found it.  So I installed 1.0 windows sideshow and found.  Its my logitech G15 keyboard.  It's the difference between computers.

  Means I have to disable the plugin on the logitech LCD monitor.
  Thanks Halima.

• Windows media player won't recognize DVD

  My media player can read and play a CD from the CD but when I insert a DVD, nothing happens. Furthermore, I recently installed a software AnyDVD and CloneDVD2 to burn DVDs and would like to know if this new software is the cause of the problem. When I insert a DVD, the AnyDVD does not analyse it and Windows Media Player will not play it (or he acknowledges in the DVD player). And when I try to clone using CloneDVD2, the dialog box says "unable to read video files" and "the device is not ready." I had reviewed the literature on the decoders and drivers, but it ' s all Greek to me. " My PC has apparently already the software necessary to perform these tasks (ie. drvers and decoders), I checked for these programs > please help.
