  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.

• Windows Media Player will not play mp3 or mp4, but Windows and YouTube work OK

  When I go to a media file (.mp3 or .mp4) and click on it, I get a message
  Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file.

  By clicking [help] and follow the signs, I see that my computer has two devices in the "Sound, video and game controllers" section, both have the status "this device works correctly.

  I get Windows sounds normally (startup, etc.). Can I play a clip from YouTube and videos that I prepared myself with Camtasia.  However the same video will not play when I click the .mp4 and Windows selects the default Windows Media Player program.

  How can I fix it?

  Thank you, Robert.

  Hi Robert,

  It looks like .mp4 files are not supported by Windows Media Player.

• 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.

  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?

• Windows media player won't play video tutorials

  I get messages that my Media Player do not read the video tutorials.

• Windows Media Player won't play certain DVD

  I'm able to play most DVDs.  But this one, a concert will start and then will not give me the main menu, so I'm not able to play.  It crashes just after the initial logo from the record company.     I would have thought it was the DVD, but I got to work and it inserted there and voila, WMP has played the whole thing very well.   I tried update WMP 11, I thought it was my problem, but does not.  I have XP op system.  I am able to play other DVDs very well.   Any ideas?

  Just a guess... but I suspect that the problem is
  with the DVD... some optical drives allow better
  playing one DVD than others. And, it may be useful
  try to clean the DVD.

  FWIW... There may be a firmware update for your
  DVD drive... check the manufacturer's support site.
  If you find an update... Follow the instructions very
  carefully... install the wrong firmware can disable
  the reader.

  If you want to try to install the firmware... What follows

• Windows Media Player will not play files .avi or .mpg - Error Message: C00D1199

  Windows Media Player won't play .avi or .mpg files; files which I know to be readable by Windows Media Player. In addition, this program has played these accurate files in the month of August. The files are readable on other programs. I searched other forums, but it is impossible to find an answer to this problem, except the recommendation of a codec - although I don't know how I have "lost" the codec in the past two months. Today, spontaneously and erratically, Windows Media Player recognizes the .mpg files, but not the .avi. Microsoft Security Essentials have installed and up to date, if it is not a virus. Have problems in other programs with the recognition of previously readable files. Not sure if it's related, so I'll post in separate... forums but I'll give you a link if you want to. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

• Windows Media Player will not play. WMA files

  Windows Media Player will not play. WMA files, but all the rest that he will play codecs for.

  What is going on?

  Reset Media Player and accepted the default set and makes no difference.

  Still will not play. WMA files.

  This has happened on three different machines using hundreds of different. WMA files and none of them will play.

  All of these files were torn to the folder of music with Media Player.

  SFC/scannow seems to have done the trick for a user here. See:

• My music files have changed in WMA format in Windows Media Player, and now my MP3 player won't play them.

  My music files have changed in wma format in windows media player, and now my mp3 player won't play them.  can anyone help please.

  original title: Media Player

  Download and install WMA to MP3 Converter, then install it, you can get it here... http://www.WMA-MP3.org/

  Then select all the WMA files you want to convert, and then convert them to the MP3 Format.
  The reason why they are WMA is because when you ripped the files on the disc to your pc, by default, Windows Media Player is configured to save in the Windows Media Audio (WMA) Format.
  This default can be changed by opening Media Player and click on Tools > Options
  Then select the Rip music tab
  Format: select MP3 from the drop-down list.
  Click apply and OK.
  Now the next time you rip a CD on your drive hard it will be automatically saved as an MP3 file.

• 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.
