• Your device is using an outdated driver is no longer supported by Windows Media Player.

  What is the solution to this problem?

  Hi Johnny,.

  This problem can occur when the device driver (sound card) is obsolete compared to the latest version of the driver available on the website of the manufacturer of the computer. In addition, when an external device is connected when you run Windows Media player on the computer, it will access the device when you navigate to the files in the driver. In this case, it will check the version of the driver for the external device. If it has not updated or not installed correctly, you may receive an error message.

  I suggest you to update the version of sound card by referring to the manufacturer's Web site and check if it solves the problem:

  Also if there are any external device connected, please remove the devices (except the keyboard and mouse) and check the status of this issue.

• How can I fix see "obsolete driver is no longer supported by Windows Media Player ' on my Win XP Tablet?

  I have a 3 own Motion LE1600 Windows XP svc pk tablet. I run Windows Media Player v 11.0.5721.5280. I don't have any IDEA of pilots. The songs seem to play very well.

  So, what happened WITH THAT? How can I solve this problem?

  You download the .zip file on your hard disk and unzip it on your hard drive?  "If so, you should work with Explorer and not Internet Explorer, then"open in a new tab"should not be an option.  What happens if your right click on "setup.exe" and select "open"?

  You are an administrator on your machine?  The drivers require that you be logged as an administrator in order to install the drivers.  The quick test is to right click on the button 'start '.  If "Open all users" is one of the options that opens, then you are an administrator.

  Other .exe files open or is it just this one?  If you have a problem with all .exe files, you may have a problem of association of files with ".exe" files

• Windows media player I can't find a way to remove photos, or download it to a flash drive

  I have a bunch of pictures I want to get off Windows Media Player and I can't figure out how do it.

  The best would be to go into your folder of photos where the photos are actually saved.

  In fact, when you are in Windows Media Player, you can select (highlight)
  a file and choose in the menu "open file location".

  The following steps may be worth a try:

  Once you have accessed the right folder... Select the photos you want to add to
  the flash player.

  The group selected (highlighted) right click and choose... Copy.

  Reach... Start button / computer... your USB should be recognized
  with a drive letter.

  Right-click on the drive letter that represents the flash drive and choose... Dough.

  Right click on the selected group of photos and the menu another option...
  choose... Send to / {select the drive corresponding to the Flash drive letter}

  The Photos must transfer.

  Hi bbdunford,

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

   

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

  (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  (b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

  Method 1

  Check if the video file format is supported by Windows media player using the link below.

  Information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

  If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.

  Method 2

  Hi Bbdunford,

  O what is the file format?

  O if it works well before?

  Today, there are hundreds of audio and video codecs in use. Some were created by Microsoft, but the vast majority of codecs have been created by other companies, organizations or individuals. By default, the Windows operating system and the player includes a number of the most popular codecs, such as MP3, Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video.

  There might be times, however, when you want to read the content that is compressed with a codec that does not include Windows or the default player. In many cases, you can download the necessary codec on the web for free or for a fee. And, in some cases, the player can automatically use the codecs installed by other reading programs and the creation of digital media on your computer.

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

  1. the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  2 - the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  You can try the steps and check if it makes a difference.

  1. in order to determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.

  2 download and install Codecs by clicking on the PLAYER tab and check. To connect to the Internet and automatically download Codecs player

  3. configure the protocol settings

  On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Network tab.

  In the Streaming protocols area, select all the check boxes Protocol.

  When connecting to a server running Windows Media Services, Windows Media Player tries to use all selected protocols.

• Windows Media Player does not recognize the device (iphone)

  I'm trying to download music from Windows Media Player on my iphone. I can get the files in the synchronization section but the Media Player does not recognize my device or seem to have a way to connect. Can anyone help?

  You will need to install iTunes. The iTunes Setup program adds drivers and services for the iPhone. That's what I do:

  1. Once iTunes is installed, it allows to import all the music in Windows Media Player.
  2. If you want to automatically download album art, you will need to register for an iTunes Store account. Otherwise, just copy the album art from Windows Media Player:
  a. at a command prompt, cd in each music folder.
  b. attrib s h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
  c. xcopy AlbumArt * %tmp% Large.jpg
  d. attrib + s + h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
  e e.. now, for each album in iTunes, right click and choose 'Get Info'. Drag & drop the corresponding JPG of %tmp% in the field "Cover Art" and click OK.
  3. connect your iPhone. Select "Manually manage music" on the screen of the iPhone.
  4. click on the icon on the left side of iTunes music. Make sure that all the music that you want to synchronize has an audit. (This is the default).
  5 Select and drag it to the icon of the iPhone.

• Unable to sync music using Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player will not open

  Media Center will not sync music!

  I recently opened Media Center and I had no music in the library. I have constantly played music from the library so I didn't know what is happening. When I try installing the library again once it tells me that a necessary component for Windows Media Center is not available. I have not changed or downloaded something different. I went to check if Windows media Player is the multimedia file sharing. The message I get from that is, basically, that something is missing.  Now my Windows Media Player is not even opened. I wonder if my Zune Player (80 GB) has nothing to do with the problem. I charge my player when this has happened, but I do this all the time so I am at a loss. I went to the page "problem reports and Solution." It is the symbol of the Media Center window and says that the problem is caused by Windows. The solution is to update to windows; which I am fully updated. I tried to restore the system to an earlier date, but that doesn't work anymore. I'm at a loss to know what being of any help would be appreciated.

  As a side note video playback, TV and photos also works very well in Media Center.

  Thank you
