Cancel Submit. Add the file to a playlist in the library. When played from a playlist, the duration of the file is shown correctly and seeking works normally. Q: Windows Media Player cannot play the file.
Windows Media Player may not support this file type or does not support the codec that was used to compress the file. There are two ways to bypass the codecs from Microsoft and use the better codecs from K-Lite: Rename your video file to have the extension.

If you need to reboot, do so, and then again reinstall the player on top of the existing install. The rollback point will NOT be functional until you complete a reinstall of the player that does NOT require a reboot. You should be able to use it to rollback WMP WMP10 also creates a System Restore point for you to use if you need it. If you had System Restore turned off, WMP10 showed you a message explaining that having System Restore turned off would disable your ability to roll back.
Those lines help indicate what the error was. Note that the WMP9 installer automatically enters reinstall mode if you install it on top of itself - that's the best way to do a repair. It is counterproductive to remove the player if you intend on reinstalling it. If you want to roll back to your previous player, read the How To here. I do this stuff for a living, and I would not turn off System Restore if you paid me to.
If you are not comfortable doing this, contact product support to help walk you through this. Do not choose Repair when it is offered. That will take you to the Repair Console and you don't want to be there. Choose Upgrade The installer will find your existing XP installation and offer to repair it. Now you choose Repair. Let it do its thing don't use Dynamic Update, though.
No loss in settings, programs or data. However, since I can't personally reproduce System Restore troubles reliably, your mileage may vary. If all else fails "mplayer2. If you STILL are not having any luck, your best bets are: Make sure you've addressed the known compatibility bug-aboos.
Work with the people in the microsoft. Upgrade to a later OS.. Run "mplayer2. Contact technical support. A: Assuming you have exhausted all other options, the following steps will partially repair WMP8. Run: rundll Note also that all command lines are case-sensitive. It's on the Start Menu under "Help and Support". Let it do its thing. Q: How do I uninstall the player? I need to fix it!
A: I'm not sure where the Myth of Uninstall was created. By the "Myth of Uninstall", I mean the notion that uninstalling something is the way to fix it. But it's fairly incorrect, so Reboot to finish that uninstall, then go back and turn it back on if you want to.
On Windows XP or older systems, the older WMP installer is optimized in order to avoid reboots in such a fashion that if the player is not currently completely installed, the WMP installer will only install missing components. So when you uninstall which will only ever be partial due to how Windows works , your subsequent reinstall only half-reinstalls the player.
If you had simply reinstalled the player over the top of itself, the installer would in that case have fully reinstalled itself. So, in a nutshell: if you are trying to fix the player, simply reinstall it over the top of itself. If you are using Windows Media Player 9, then you will typically find the installer mpsetup. Otherwise, go to Microsoft's download site and redownload and reinstall the player.
The first reinstall gets the uninstalled components reinstalled, and the second reinstall gets everything reinstalled. I'll just try to educate here. While this may be true in an extreme minority of cases, the reality is that WMP functions like a tier in the game Jenga: it is reliant on the components underneath it functioning correctly in order for WMP itself to be stable.
So uninstalling and reinstalling WMP until you're blue in the face won't fix a user profile issue, won't fix an MDAC or library corruption issue, won't fix a video card or sound card driver issue, won't fix an external codec corruption issue, etc. Sure, you can try it if it makes you happy, but Reinstall the player over the top of itself once, and if you are fixed up: awesome!
If not If I still haven't been able to dissuade you from uninstalling first, the Uninstall Steps are mentioned in the player's release notes, and also covered in the questions above this one.
Q: I need to uninstall and then reinstall WMP or newer in order to fix an issue A: Uninstalling and then reinstalling software to "fix" problems with it tends to be overkill. Not as huge overkill as reinstalling the operating system, but still Note that WMP9 automatically enters Reinstall All mode when you install it on top of itself, so it doesn't expose the Reinstall All button any more. Q: How do I distribute my codecs to users in my intranet?
If you contact product support directly, they have an EDP designed to support version This will not be generally released. Older versions of the EDP are no longer available from the Microsoft. For older versions: first you must have a license to redistribute it. This page details how to get the license. Once you've gotten a license, you'd want to use the case-sensitive command-line: installpackage. How do I do so? A: The easiest thing to do is to use the Group Policy editor gpedit. This eliminates access to the Media Guide and Radio Tuner from within the player.
If you're a user locked into skin mode - a tweaking program called "Fresh UI" can lock you into skin mode using the Policy setting sometimes, so be aware of that. I only get an icon for it on the task bar.
Click the left and up arrows on your keyboard until WMP comes back onscreen - it is simply offscreen at this point. If a list of options do not come up, you are in skin mode in the player. A: Your advapi At that point you will then need to reinstall the Media Player , but you should be good to go from that point. Choose which file types you want WMP to be the default player for, then click apply.
Certain web pages force you to use WMP6 in them. Simply install it and WMP6 will stop being embedded. Unselect the file types you don't want WMP to be the default player for, then click apply. These settings persist between installs: once you've made changes here, WMP will no longer take the association unless you ask it to. Q: Why does some other player always play back the files I want to play back with WMP or some other player?
A: That usually means that the other application is taking back over the association. If giving the association to WMP doesn't work, you would either need to turn off some setting in the other application's Options menu or uninstall that other application. In some cases, this interference on their part will also break multimedia file download, but again the same suggestion should fix that problem too.
Q: Where can I find mplayer2. WMP6 is not available upon Windows Vista or newer systems. I installed the wrong language. A: Download WMP for the language of your choice and choose Reinstall All mode, installing it on top of your existing install.
You may need to update the desktop shortcut yourself, but everything else should be fixed. If this still does not fix your problem, find "wmploc.
Q: Why does the player show up as a random bunch of controls and then black space in web pages? A: If and only if this page fails and looks screwed up , but this one works , then what has happened is that the backwards compatibility for WMP6 is failing. This should be indicative of the backwards compatibility type library not being registered. In order to fix this, run the following commands from either the "Run" prompt or a cmd.
If that does not work, and you're not on XP or older, running "regsvr Run "regsvr Q: Why am I getting the Media Guide in a foreign language? How do I change the default language?
A: thanks to John Cupak The Media Guide uses IE's default language initially, and then sets a cookie indicating your language preference. Delete that cookie and the language will reset. Q: Why can't I change the player install location? Q: What's the version history on WMP?
A: See the official write-up. Also: Is codebase download supported in V7? A: No. You could point the codebase tag at a known player binary download location, but I'd highly recommend against it.
But for WMP7 or newer , no. You can either embed multiple instances of WMP7 or newer in a web page I've supplied a page you can do this with here or open "mplayer2. You can launch numerous copies of MP4XP this way. This is not supported , though, so try not to do anything too crazy. Generally, you'll only be able to play content that was previously in your Media Library with any additional player, and you will not be able to set player options under the Tools:Option menu.
Don't ask me, that's just the Rationale. A: Uninstall DivX 3. A: See this article. A: See my sample on how to do this or the KB here. A: This is documented here. How you want to do this look-up really depends on what you're trying to do. Different functionality is supported in various versions of the player. Under either of these keys, if IsInstalled is set to 0x1, you can then safely use the "Version" string here as the version of WMP that is installed.
Q: Why does WMP setup ask to reboot after the install? A: Certain files can be in use by the shell which thus require WMP to reboot. If you wish to avoid this reboot, log out and back in previous to installing.
WMP9 and newer should not require a reboot in other conditions, provided that WMP is not running at the point of install. WMP is pretty good about avoiding reboots if possible. If you're asked to reboot, please do so before using the player - otherwise the player should block you.
Q: Why does setup fail if Zip Magic is installed? A: See this page for the work-around. The explanation here is that WMP setup is expecting "npds. Q: Why does WMP crash in the middle of setup? A: You're running old NVidia drivers: either get newer ones or reinstall the ones you have.
A: The Windows directory location is incorrect. You need to switch to Remote Administration Mode to install software. A: These operating systems aren't supported. Q: Where can I find a player for OS? A: The currently maintained players can be found here.
There's the old Win 3. A: See the KB article here. Q: I liked having different icons for each file type like WMP6 did. Can I get that back?
A: Okay. It is not recommended that you do this. You will need to reinstall the player on top of itself if you want to restore these registry keys. Q: The audio crackles and pops or 'skips' during CD playback. Note that this will disable visualizations unless you are using Windows XP. If subsequently you don't hear audio, look here. Additionally, if your drive is really not happy, turning on error correction with digital playback will actually cause skipping. On most people's computers it hopefully makes the sound sound Better, but on some A Win9x OS may hang right then and if it does, let me know , but the setting should be set Microsoft has an article on further trouble-shooting here for Win9x , and here for Windows XP.
In WMP10 you can edit all these fields within the Rip pane. AMG says here that it takes about six weeks or so for information to be added. If you are an artist or producer, they take direct submissions via an e-mail address on that page or this page , so go send them mail.
You can then copy that new user's library on top of your library and you should be good to go. A: WMP7 or newer uses digital playback, which introduces this. Note that this addresses playback, and not burning CDs.
Older versions of WMP do not natively support but other software does. A: The headphone jack is only live during analog playback. Or plug your headphones into the soundcard's output plug. Second, WMP tests the quality of the digital read. Some players are more accepting of bad reads, but continuing to read digitally from a dirty source can result in very nasty errors, and as such WMP plays it safe and disallows digital reads from dirty source CD-ROM drives.
You may simply have a bad drive. Also, see the following question Let Windows decide the drive letter and you'll be fine. A: Your analog CD playback is probably broken. Usually this is because the tiny little wire that connects the back of the CD-ROM drive to the motherboard has fallen out. They're really fragile that way. A: See this web page for details on how to do this for Win9x systems. To disable auto-play of CD's in Windows , do the following: 1.
Go to the start menu 2. Open a new Microsoft Management Console by running "mmc" without the quotation marks at a command line. Click Add to display the installed snap-ins. Click Finish 7. Click Close 8. Click OK 9. Double-click on Disable Autoplay Choose Enabled Apply the change Open My Computer 2.
Right-click on the drive in question and select "Properties" 3. Restart your computer. Ensure that this service is Started and set to Automatic. If that's set, check the Group Policy Editor - run "gpedit. If you're still having problems, find the TweakUI power toy and use that - that has some extra little AutoPlay options. Vance points out that you can simply hold down the left shift key for seconds after you insert the CD to disable AutoPlay temporarily.
It only refreshes when I restart WMP Q: Why does the player not recognize a new CD when I put it in? It only refreshes when I restart WMP. Turning AutoPlay back on should fix this. Select Properties. Select the AutoPlay tab. Thanks to Neil for this.
Q: I want to rip at a WMA bitrate higher than kbps. How do I do this? The UI won't show you that you're using that in the Rip tab, but it'll be at that value. LAME may have something in the works, but any other package claiming to be 'free' is likely pirated software. Why do I get error 0xc00d0faa "Windows Media Player cannot copy the file If that value does not exist, then you'll want to make that the "PreferredCodecPath" at that location is pointing to "l3codecp.
If both of those check out, then you'll want to switch to a different bitrate. If the value of "PreferredCodecPath" is "l3codeca. It should never be that ever.
A: Yes. The other codecs "Windows Media Audio variable-bitrate " and "Windows Media Audio lossless" are not backward compatible and will require the user to be connected to the Internet so that they can download a new Windows Media Audio codec. See this for more information. Q: Why do I get the error "The system cannot find the path specified. Note that the path may look correct, but you should ensure you click Apply anyways uncheck and recheck a checkbox on this page to get Apply to enable itself.
If that doesn't work, follow these steps. Also note that you can't copy from CD using the 9 Series player over a remote terminal server connection. A: WMP can do this faster than real-time and you don't pick up any noise from other audio sources on your sound mixer.
Q: Why isn't there any audio in the tracks I ripped from my CDs using analog ripping? I don't like silent files If you're getting background noise, mute the Line In and Microphone input in your system's volume settings.
Q: I get the message "Windows Media Player cannot play the protected file because a security upgrade is required. Do you want to download the security upgrade? This should be 2. Then start WMP and try the content again. You can possibly fix this via resetting your DRM store step one is probably not relevant to you. You would then need to attempt to Individualize again, either through the web page or unregmp2.
Because this is destructive, if you cannot Individualize the problem here , you are far better off contacting actual support. Q: How do I fix a crash in "Indiv A: Follow these steps. Q: Why can I only play files I rip back on the computer I ripped them to, and not on another computer on the network for example? A: This limitation is because of the DRM applied to the file, which licensed the file solely for your usage on that computer.
Q: I can no longer access my DRM'd protected content A: If you backed up your licenses, restore your licenses. Q: I'm getting error 0xc00d11d6, 0xc00d or 0xc00d trying to play back my DRM'd content. A: Look here for 0xc00d or here for 0xc00d Q: Why isn't my content transcoded when I transfer it to my portable device? A: The file you are trying to copy to your portable device may be protected. A protected file is a digital media file that is secured with a license to prevent illegal distribution.
When transferring to a portable device, the Player cannot convert protected content to other encoding formats for example, from WMA to MP3 or to other bit rates for example, from kilobits per second Kbps to 64 Kbps. When transferring to a portable device, the Player can only convert unprotected content to other formats and bit rates. Q: I want to record an audio CD using my music. A: This is built into Windows XP and newer.
Just use the "Burn" tab. You could manage much more full-fledged burns with the full Nero or Roxio burning software. Also note that as of Nero 5. You will not be able to use audio plug-ins to affect how a CD is burned, meaning that you can not use the crossfading plug-in to burn a crossfaded CD. If you're having problems with this and have up-to-date firmware for your burner check your CD burner vendor's web site for that , there is an update available at Windows Update which may be of help.
Furthermore, this is the actual Error Code Number to Error Description mapping table, which is also referenced with a little more data here - but note that MSDN's reference does not have the error code number.
Make sure you check out the actual Microsoft article on CD creation problems. Finally, Kathy's Steps Towards Happy Burning are that helps fix stuff like 0xE invalid alignment , 0x filter in wrong state and whatnot : Roxio's Drag to Disk or Sonic's "DLA" will interfere with burning - you may need to turn that off if you're using it - right-click on the drive and choose "Disable drag to disk for this drive" Run "regsvr32 wmp.
Once that completes, restart the player and check to see if burning is now functional. This can fix the "Interface not registered" error. If it's not listed as a compatible burner for Windows XP, it may not work correctly.
You may want to make sure if this is Windows XP that the drive is enabled for burning. If your CD recorder is recognized, you will see a Recording tab. If you are having problems copying to CDs and your CD recorder is recognized in My Computer, verify that the Enable CD recording on this drive check box is selected in the Properties dialog box for that drive. Make sure you have all burner-related updates from Windows Update. There's another burning update here - I'm not sure if that's on Windows Update.
Set your burn speed lower on your drive. You can do this by right-clicking on the drive in Explorer, clicking Properties and lowering the speed on the Recording tab.
Try different media. Sometimes, the quality of media is just not good. Try to burn some different songs - sometimes data gets corrupted. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for the CD burner. Windows Media Player is simply reporting that the rest of the tracks will not fit on the completed CD because it has already been closed after burning one track.
