• Your device is using an outdated driver is no longer supported by Windows Media Player. How to (1) find out which device is being shown and (2) find a suitable driver for it.

  The "error" box appears whenever I invoke Media Player in Windows 7 on my PC.  I have the same speakers, sound card, DVD drive in my PC that did not exist before installing Windows 7.  Compatibility utility says that everything should work.

  I found that if I unplugged my Windows Mobile (6.5) from the PC, this error has ceased to occur. Check your USB connections and remove all devices that may have some legacy applications on them.

• 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

  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

• Why Windows Media Player Encoder auxiliary continue to use more memory, almost crashing my computer, and how to fix it?

  Whenever I use the Windows Media Player on my computer, the Windows Media Player Encoder auxiliary uses memory more and more every second I have Windows Media Player, no matter what I use Media Player to open.
  in any case, she continues to use more memory the computer almost to the point of freezing, trolling, and I do not know how to fix it.
  The reason why I know this has to do with the memory usage is that when I open the Task Manager, it usually gets above the point of using 300 000 k memory usage before I can put an end to the task.
  If someone can help me with this problem, or it can know the solution, please let me know. Thank you

  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.
