    Hi talhasabir,

    The closest you can get use Windows + M key that will minimize all windows. You can use Windows + D (display the desktop). You use this shortcut will allow you to use Windows + D now show the last window before the display of the desktop computer.

  • Video game in the window of the media player

    Original title: Windows Media Player

    I wish I could watch a dvd on windows media player in the lower corner of my screen. I was able to do on my version of vista in minimizing my screen and open a small 2 "by 2" small screen by pressing a small button for me to watch my video while I do other things on my computer, however, when I do it on windows 7 when I reduce the video and put my mouse on the WMP icon on the bottom of the screen I see the smallscreen I want, but I don't know how to do so that he can stay so that I can work on other things while I watch the smal at the bottom of my monitor screen. If you can help me with this that would be great. I work on my computer all day and am missing out on my cause of movies, I don't know how to do this small thing. Thank you

    Hello, Ken

    Assuming that you do not speak to the "Now Playing" view, you can refer to the mode of the skin, while the media player is active hold CTRL and press 2 to switch to skin mode. In comparison, the view is on the air are quickly accessible via CTRL + 3 or by clicking on the button in the lower right.

  • Cannot open Windows 7 Pro Media Player

    Original title: windows 7 pro MediaPlayer.

    Windows media player does not open... I tried the restore without success. Something is wrong with the path I think.

    Do these two steps [they are the closest thing possible to uninstall then reinstall WMP & will actually provide a new installation of WMP]

    1 unload WMP *-control panel, programs and features, [left] turn on or off has Windows, multimedia features, clear box Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

    2 reload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] turn Windows features on or off, multimedia features, set the Windows Media Player box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

    * I guess that WMP has previously been loaded.  WMP is a component of all editions of Windows 7 [but not for 'N' & 'KN' Versions] and is loaded by default for several editions of Windows 7 [it is not loaded by default for Pro or Ultimate Editions].

  • Windows XP and Media Player will write not CD player

    Here's a strange.  Until recently, I could write on a blank CD through Windows (data files) or Media Player (music).  Now Windows says empty disc is a complete application so a blank disc and Media Player says I have no burner.  Funny is that Nero recognizes the burner and it will do the music CD.  I had to send files on my laptop to burn data CDs.  Checked the registry via RegEdit and not made the change to a single value, so that the player is CD - RW (from CD - R).  Got rid of the Roxio installed by Dell awhile, as I wasn't with her.  Have not yet done the utility disk via F12 at startup.

    So what don't understand me?

    Hello daninwyo, welcome.

    FLV (Flash content), which is based on the web, is not supported in Windows Media Player. You have to find a third party codec package that supports flash or try a different media player on the internet.

  • Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 stops working after recovery from sleep mode

    I have problems to make Windows Media Player 12 to run correctly after a system sleep (standby). It works very well after the maximum boot and for as long that the machine is not going mode sleep. It is only a problem with Windows 7 and Media player 12. All other Win 7 applications seem to work correctly. The system also works very well for Vista/Media player 11.

    I installed my upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 as a new installation on a separate hard drive. This problem exists right after installation - no other software not added. I then installed all the updates MS available and the problem has not disappeared. I installed the OS a couple of times (including a copy of Windows 7 Professional x 64) on another hard drive too and the problem remains.

    Media Player 12 works perfectly until the system goes into sleep mode - either by itself, or manually. When it resumes, Media player launches, but when you try to play something, he will only play the first couple notes of music and then freeze. Same thing with videos - it will get the first couple of frames played, and then hang. If you continue to stop and restart Media Player, eventually it will be totally suspended and after a few minutes the error "Server execution failed" message. At that point in the Task Manager, wmplayer.exe will consume is a complete base my Quad CPU (25%), do nothing. Sometimes, you can kill the process and take control of the back of the PC. Other times it crashes completely and the only thing you can do is to shut down the PC.

    Media Player 11 under Vista Home Premium x 64 on the same PC works fine. I was never able to get Media Player 12 in Windows 7 to work properly after a standby/on standby. If I reboot, everything works fine so it seems to be that something related to a problem of sleep/recovery.

    HP supports suggested restarting the service WMP network sharing.  That has not helped, but if I stopped and set to manual start, Media Player would play the sound/music but not video of several tests.  But if I stopped and began to WMP 12 a few times more the problem returns.

    Well after working with the help of HP for several days, it seems to be something between the video card and card mother / BIOS between them.  At start-up, everything works well, but after the exit mode ensures, hardware diagnostics show a failure of local video memory.  Media Player is finally touched by it.  Doesn't a lot of sense to me that this does not happen under Vista, Win 7.  You have to return the PC to HP for diagnosis/repair.

  • When you try to play .mp4 files in WMP, I hear the sound but the picture is distorted and I can't see the photo in Windows Media Player.

    * Original title: Windows Media PLayer

    I have Windows Media Player version 12 installed but when you try to play .mp4 files in WMP, I hear the sound but the picture is distorted and I can't see the picture.  Please see image attached.

    Even if I see that I can change the version of the file in a different format, I have the same problem with videos on websites that I can not of course change the format before playing these.

    I managed to fix the problem for about 20 minutes by flattening my computer re - install the operating system and this resolved until all updates have been through, and then it disappeared again.  I tried many codecs packs and this still does not help.

    My system is running Windows 7 and Media Player version is 12.0.7601.18840, which tells me that Media Player is the most recent version.

    Please can someone help?

    Open uninstall a program in windows and in the left click on the feature to turn on or off windows. Clear the check box of the window Media Player, and then click ok. This will uninstall the drive, and then restart.

    After restarting the same steps, now, check the box for the same and perform a restart and if all goes well it should solve the problem.

    Note: Make sure that Windows is up-to-date.
