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.

    Hello

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

    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 won't find the files on the second hard drive

    Hi hope you can help with this.

    I have Windows 7 and Windows Media Player 12 on my PC.

    My office has two hard drives, one for the operating system and all programs and another larger (drive J:\) for all my files.

    All my audio files are stored in the J:\Audio folder, and this folder is also the default location for my music library (such as configured in Windows and WMP).

    When I load WMP files in J:\Audio are not displayed in the music library.

    If I right click on music > manage a music library and then manually delete the J:\ from the list of library locations, and then re-add it, WMP adds all the files to the library (a process that takes about 20 minutes).

    BUT if I close WMP and re - open again, these files are missing once again.

    It seems that WMP has a blind spot of my second hard drive.

    Any suggestions for what I can do to remedy this?

    Thank you very much!

    Neil.

    Well, I think I found a solution for me at least.

    There is an answer on this thread who has contributed to:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-pictures/songs-do-not-appear-in-the-Windows-Media-Player/a6e80b2e-7367-4529-9dab-5a38ba4167a5?page=5

    This is the fifth detention by djkel.

    This is a summary:

    To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, 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.

    One of the files that I had to delete not able to be removed first because "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" was used. I was able to follow the steps on this page to temporarily stop the service and allow the file to be deleted:

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-disable-Windows-7-Media-Player-network-sharing-service-wmpnetwk/

    Then when I have opened WMP 12 database has been repopulated with my files... and all files remain when the 12 WPM has been closed and then reopened. I hope it's a permanent fix.

    Not sure if this will help your problem, Jeff, but I hope that.

  • 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

  • Windows Media Player does not recognize the new downloaded songs

    I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: race AY014AA-ABA, Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    I just found out that Windows Media Player does not recognize the songs, I recently downloaded from Wal-Mart music download Site.  The songs can be seen in the music library in a folder called 'Downloads' and I can open each song and he will play when double-clicked.  The problem is that I can't create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the reading list, because the songs are not listed in the Media Library Player any hot it is sorted (artist, Album, Genre, etc.).

    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Problem solved!

    Went to: start == > Control Panel == > troubleshooting == > view all == > and ran troubleshooting on the library and the settings of WMP.

    Convenience store detected library corrupt and "in media files appear in the WMP library.  Then ran convenience store on WMP settings which reset OMP to default settings.  After that, everything worked as announced.

    Thanks to Big_Dave for putting me on the right track.

    Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11, version 12 is sucks.

    Hello, Simone

    I'll assume you're on Windows 7. Windows Media Player 12 is not supported on Windows Vista or XP and as such, you will need to go back to Windows Media Player 11.

    You can check the permissions in the registry to ensure that it is able to record information.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    Open the registry editor by clicking on start, type regedit.exe in the search box and press on enter, you may be prompted to continue.

    In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, MediaPlayer, then Preferences.

    It should be an element named LastLocation_26, right-click on it and select Rename, and rename it to old LastLocation_26.

    Leave the open registry editor and open Media Player, then move it to your favorite place and close Media Player.

    In the registry editor, press F5 on your keyboard and check if LastLocation_26 has been recreated.

    If this is not the case, there is probably a permissions problem.

    If so, the location must be registered.
