  • Media Player will not play music files now that he used to play.

    I have Windows Vista and my media player has recently decided that it will not play some music files that it used to play. When I try to read, I got the error message saying that the file type is not supported by the player, or that the file was compressed by using a codec that does not support the player. Why has it started to do this, and what can I do about it? He is not doing it with all the music files, only some of them.

    Hello

    The ASF Format (Advanced Systems) is the preferred Windows Media file format. With Windows Media Player, if the appropriate codecs are installed on your computer, you can play audio content, video content, or both, that is compressed with a wide variety of codecs and that is stored in an .asf file.

    Two things:

    Have you, after you restore the system to the factory settings, install all the latest drivers from device hardware and software for all your components (internal and external)?  Drivers and software for the devices.  In particular, any software for the Canon.

  • Windows Media player 12 will not play .avi files

    Original title: Media Player 12

    I have WMP12 on my windows 7 and never had a problem 2 days ago. Now I can't play video files, it seems to be only the .avi files. When I click on it I get a message saying that windows media player has stopped working and is looking for a solution. Some of these files, I had some time and always played using WMP12 without problems. It will play everything, MP4, MP3, audio books simply not excerpts from movies avi, I looked for updates, codec & addons, nothing helps, any suggestions

    I already have VLC that I use for the .mkv files, but I prefer WMP it has better quality image and sound. I downloaded the codecs from the link you gave me, (Combined-Community-Codec-Pack-2013-08-01) and installed it. Yay it worked. Thank you very much

  • IE9 will not play .wmv files

    I can't play a media file using IE9.  The codec is installed to .wmv.  The file will play locally and in Firefox, but not in IE9.  What I see in the lower corner of the media player, it's open..., tracking... and then change of media.  The next thing I get is the following message from Windows Media Player

    Normally, when you change a song info (for example, artist) in the library, WMP is not immediately write the change in the corresponding music file, but wait a while and then the fact quietly in the background. You can use apply media information changes to force WMP to save all the changes to file immediately.

    In addition, if you subscribe to a music or video subscription through an online service, it is recommended that you turn on the automatically check if protected files need to be refreshed option (by default, it is enabled). When this option is enabled, the player will have to regularly scan your library for purchased and subscription files that are missing the usage rights, files that have arrived at expiration of the rights, or files that have rights that are about to expire. The Player will then try to download the rights from the Internet. This allows to improve reading, burning, and sync experiences with purchased and subscription files.

    Why is it turning when run locally and running on the same computer do not in IE9?

    Codecs may have changed

    Why it runs well in Firfox to the same computer?

    IE 9 runs plugins differently

  • Windows will not open .exe files

    I had a look around at some of the answers on the site, but to be honest has been quite complicated for me! I tried to put my XP in safe mode, but she was having none of it.

    This problem has been around for a few days now, since I got a virus. I struggled to open the .exe files, and even worse, it is that when I go into control panel I can't open anything in here no more! Not even my file system restore to a point.

    Can anyone recommend anything? This is the second time I am running Malwarebytes. Did I post the logfile when it's done?

    Thanks in advance, Nat

    Thanks for your reply... but after that I ran Malwarebytes and some deleted items, it works fine now!
