    - Another Error C00D11E2 Problem I am using Windows XP SP2 with WMP 11. I have tried every thing I, and others, to get my WMP to work. It seems that the DRM is not right. When I look at the technical Support info it shows no DRM. I have reinstalled WMP11 a dozen times but nothing works. I can remove it because it will only revert back to an earlyer version which I don't have. I have gone this this site: http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp several times but the button is always grayed out. I have read a lot of the postings here but none seem to answer my question. How do I get WMP 11 to have DRM. Please help. -- Thank you for your help, Joe Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 263029

    - WMP does not "sense" my burner When I try to use my WMP (latest version) to burn a disk, it gives me an error message. I says to attach a burner and try again. It did use to work, but somehow now it will not burn a disk. It does do "synch" and "rip" functions just fine. I do have two other audio software suites (nero and roxio) and these two other audio software suites sense my sony DVD-r rw just fine. I burned two discs yesterday...but WMP just won't do it. Does anyone have any ideas why this may be happening? Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 263026

    - Windows Media Player 11 error when streaming video I am trying to stream video from my Windows Home Server that has Webguide running on it and for some reason just recently my vista laptop is not doing it. i keep getting a error message in WMP11 saying, "Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you are trying to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the item might point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted." I have tried checking the network settings in WMP11 and nothing there has changed to my knowlege. I have seen in this forum were several people have had this issue with previous versions of Media Player but there never seems to be a clear cut answer of how to fix it. My media on my local disc seems to play fine in it and again this just started happening recently but it has worked in the past. I am not sure if SP1 for vista has something to do with this or not. Any help on this would be great! Thanks, -Scott Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 263024

    - WMP11 Not playing video in WMV files Yes.. it seems strange, and I have no idea how to fix it, but WMP11 will NOT play WMV files completely. I get sound, but no video. Answers to questions: Win XP Pro SP2 Yes, I am sure these are WMV files Yes, I have tried them in other machines and they work fine. Now, here's the real kick-in-the-pants part: I CAN view these files in WMP11 IF I make it a hyperlink in an html file. So, If I double click a file in explorer, it starts, plays audio but no video. If I make a one line html file that says <a href="video.wmv">Click here</a> And then open it and CLICK HERE, it plays both video and audio. ARRRGGG!!!!! Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 263023

The DVD@ACCESS files are Power Point files who are build in the DVD. When Windows Media Player starts the DVD the player has problems to show the files or it doesnâ??t show the files separately but the pop up all 3 together.

    - Media info wrong on my new CD Hi, I just got a new CD and wanted to rip the 14 tracks to my desktop pc, using WMP11. When the CD was inserted, i was surprised to see that it said unknown album/artist. I restarted the pc and started over again and this time, it listed all 14 tracks but the songs were 50% wrong in name. One song was listed 4 times (one of those misspelled), meaning some song titles were not even there. But nonetheless, it showed 14 tracks. I then got on my laptop. It did the same thing. My kid told me she wanted to try Itunes and it was shown fine there; songs in order with the correct name once and not 4 times. BTW, when i tried using WMP11, i couldnt find the part that says to look up info so that abum art and info. Normally, shouldnt this be done automatically when a store purchased CD is inserted? What do i need to do ? thanks in advance Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 263021

    - video And WM Player Not Displayed But Audio Plays Vista Home Pemium w/updates WM 11.0.6001.7000 When I click a .wmv file, or right click and hit play, the audio portion begins to play. The player does not open on the desktop. I have to manually open the player. When I open WM, the video is playing along with the audio. I have an administrator account. This is a new computer that originally opened the player when a wmv file was clicked. I cannot think of any changes I made that would correspond with this beginning to happen. Originally clicking a file opened the player. Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 263020

    - jerky audio in WMP Hi Folks, I'm running Vista Home Premium on a dual core machine with 2gig of DDR2 ram. My problem is that when I play an album or playlist of MP3's through either WMP or MC they play fine until 20 secs before the end of the track. At about this point, there's a couple or 3 stutters as if the PC was "getting the next track ready" Other players play fine, ie the otherwise awful Sonic Stage and so on. I've looked through the options and can't see anything adrift. Help please !!! dq Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 263017

    - Same Picture is displayed for all new mp3s I have my player set to display album art when an mp3 is played. For some reason, every new song I download displays the same picture, which isn't even on my computer anymore, far as I know. It's like the Player automatically chose a default pic from my download folder to use with any mp3 that doesn't have its own album art already encoded in it. And it continues to use that pic, even after the pic itself has been deleted. How can I fix this? Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 263013

    - MSN Messenger not recognising Windows Media Player 9 I have MSN Messenger 8 and Windows Media Player (hereafter referred to as WMP) 9. When I tell MSN to show what I'm listening to, it says that it requires WMP 9 or higher and gives me a link to download the latest version of WMP. Now, I don't want WMP 11 because I don't like how it looks or the way the UI works, but MSN should still recognise that I already have WMP 9. The MSN Messenger Music plug-in is active in WMP, and there seems to be no other reason that it doesn't recognise it. Anyone know what's going on here? Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 262996

    - WMP 10 no longer plays streams I can no longer connect to a live stream of radio or video like cspan radio or cspan tv. This is true whether I am playing it in a web page or directly thru the player. There is nothing wrong with my network as I can play the same streams in some of my other players but not all. Apparently those players that use parts of WMP to play streams can no longer play them and those that don't can play the streams. This is the error message I get in WMP: Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the Open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:"). I have tried a system restore to a point before the problem started to no avail. Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 262990

    - Unable to Rollback to WMP 10 I need to do a firmware upgrade on my Creative Zen MP3 player but cannot do so until I downgrade to WMP 10. Unfortunately XP SP2 will not rollback the player for me. I have followed the instructions on the Microsoft website but when I go into Add/Remove Programs and try to rollback, the operation tells me that it succeeded. I restart and WMP11 is still installed so of course I can't remove the other programs to required to do the Firmware upgrade. Any ideas how to get around this problem?

    - Ripping a CD to an MP3 file to a hard drive When I use Windows Media 11 player to rip a selected CD track to an MP3 file, it seems to want only to do this to a CD drive. I assume there has to be a path to send the MP3 file to a defined hard drive path - is there not? While I am a very experienced computer user, I am new to this area of activity. I also find WMP 11 a little kludgy to work with ripping selections, creating playlists, et al. But that may well be because I'm just not that well versed in doing these things. Are there any good free "tutorials" around that I could download for such activities. I was referred to iTunes. But I don't want to use any of Apple's software. Apple Quicktime for movies was a real PITA, and I got rid of it years ago. Ron Hirsch Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 262984

    - Playing _from_ mp3 player? Hello, I have a Sansa Clip which I have loaded with .wma files from my home computer by sync'ing with WMP 11 at home. I have a USB cable at work with which I can connect the player to my work computer. Is there a way to get WMP 11 to play these files directly from the player on my computer at work without copying them to my hard disk using Explorer? This seems like it should be a simple thing to do, yet it does not appear immediately obvious how to do so. All help greatly appreciated...thanks. Bruce Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 262963

    - How to prevent WMP11 from saving UNC path instead of drive letter? Hello! I have noticed that whenever I add files to the WMP11 library from a mounted network drive (e.g. E:\Media pointing to my server/ share), WMP11 will resolve the UNC name and store \\myserver\share \Media instead of e:\Media. Q: Is there any way to prevent this behaviour? Background: As a mobile user I regularly change environments where different servers will provide me with the same set of media files. The servers are in sync, so they do have the same files. Yet, WMP11 will try to locate any given file on Server1 which might not be available in Environment B and vice vesa. This is cumbersome. Please advise. Thank you & BR Markus. Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 262959

    - WMP11 problems with MP3 ID3 tag data I use a 3rd party program (MP3tag) to update the ID3 information on my MP3 files because it can do several at once. I have about 300 files that I recently ripped from CD that were missing the ID3 tag information (technically, most of them had ID3 tags, but it was ID3v2.4 which WMP does not appear to support). I re-tagged all of the files with both ID3v2.3 (which WMP reads fine from my other MP3s) and ID3v1 tag information. Winamp and every other media program I have tried recognizes the ID3 tag information, but WMP still shows them as unknown artist and doesn't read any tag information. I am certain the information is there, but I think WMP must store metadata somewhere and refuses to refresh it. I have tried removing the files from the library and then re-adding them... that didn't work. I wouldn't really care about WMP not recognizing the information since I don't use it much, but this tag information is fed to my Xbox360 for media streaming and it becomes a real pain-in-the-ass to search through artists to unknown and scroll through these 300+ songs and manually adding each song to the playlist when I want to listen to a particular artist affected by this issue.

    - Overhauling auto sync playlists I am trying to overhaul my auto sync playlists. I started with these playsts: - 4 or 5 stars (the defaut one) - All Music The above just managed to fit all my songs on my device (a 8GB microSDHC card) ... it was 99% full. I have now set up my own auto playlists because I want to be a bit more selective about the music on my device. I removed the above two playlists completely and then added the auto playlists I created all in one step: - 5 star - 4 star - 3 star - 2 star - Unrated The goal here was to delete all the music I had rated as '1 star'. I figured what would happen is that WMP11 would scan the music already on my device that it was aware of (seeing as I used WMP11 sync to put it there in the first place), notice that all of the music specified in these new playlists already existed on the device, and then notice that some songs (namely the 1 star ones) were no longer required on the device and remove them. To my dismay instead it made a sync list in the "sync results" pane that listed all the new playlist songs as if they had never been synced to the device in the first place. Naturally the synch for all these songs failed because there was essentially no room left on the card. It said "did not fit on device" for every single one of them instead of "already on device", which is what I was expecting. On top of that, it did not delete the 1 star songs from the device like I was expecting. Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it? I am expecting to much from WMP. This seemed like a fairly basic thing to me and I expected it to be as smooth as butter. By the way I am using Vista 32 Premium. Has anyone gotten a similar setup with a large auto-sync playlist change like this to work properly? Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 262951

    - No audio in DVD playback on PC - what am I doing wrong? Hey folks: I am for the first time in my life trying to play a video DVD on my desktop PC (believe it or not). I have a commercially recorded documentary (title "King Corn") lent from a friend, and can't get it to play properly. The problem is no sound. The video looks fine, but there's no audio output whatsoever. I've tried using Windows Mediaplayer as well as a program called Media Player Classic. Both behave pretty much the same way -- the video plays silently. When the film first opens, it shows me a "menu" in the form of two selections, the first of which is the film, the second is a blank box labeled "Empty Title". I select the first box (which has the thumbnail- size, shrunk-down opening shot of the movie). Then the screen is filled with the opening scene in the playback window frame, and to the right is a list of "chapters" in the DVD info window frame, listed under the heading "Title 1". Also on the opening screen is a sort of on-screen, text menu that offers three choices: Play, Chapters and Audio Options. It seems that Audio Options would be the thing to select at this point, but I can't get it to respond. I tried clicking on it with the mouse pointer. Also tried moving the selection highlight with the arrow keys, and some other keys (spacebar, tab, page-up, page-down). Nothing seems to move the highlight off the "Play" option. So okay, I Iet it start playing, but get no sound, even with the volume boosted to the highest setting. I played around a bit with some of the Win Mediaplayer menu options that looked like they might be relevant to audio output, but to no avail. Is it possible that this disc is recorded in such a way to preclude it from playing back (with audio) on a computer? Everything else seems to work -- skipping forward, pausing and resuming play. I'm thinking that there's something very basic that I'm missing. But what? On the DVD itself, there are two directories, VIDEO_RM and VIDEO_TS. In the VIDEO_RM directory, there are three files: VIDEO_RM.BUP, VIDEO_RM.DAT and VIDEO_RM.IFO. In the VIDEO_TS directory there are ten files: VIDEO_TS.BUP VIDEO_TS.IFO VIDEO_TS.VOB VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_0.IFO VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_01_2.VOB VTS_01_3.VOB VTS_01_4.VOB VTS_01_5.VOB I'm running Windows XP on a Dell P4 machine with 512MB RAM thanks Alex G.

    - loading a few wav files to listen to in order...do I need a degree to do that? I have just been preparing a list of 12 audio files saved as WAV containing the spoken word - and thought I would used Windows media Player to play them through so I could hear how well one runs onto the next. The files are saved in a folder on my separate hard drive. The media player seems to think I have to complete a degree course on playlists and libraries and god knows what else before I can play anything. All I actually need is a button saying 'find your files here' where I could see the drive I want, access it, see the 12 files I want, select them, press OK and there they are on the screen waiting for me to press play. That seems logical to me. Or can kind person recommend some other player where loading files and playing them is simple? Thanks in advance. Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 262935

    - Short audio files clip/skip in Vista Has anyone seen clipping of short audio files when played on Windows Vista? It sometimes sounds like the files are "skipping." I've read a number of posts about this, but none of the fixes seem to help. I've uploaded some sample files and I'm looking for people to tell me if they are having the same problem on their machines. The end of this file clips on WMP Vista: http://www.thetravelyear.com/work/vista_audio/test-short.wma This file has a little silence added to the end and plays fine: http://www.thetravelyear.com/work/vista_audio/test-long.wma I could just add silence to my files like I did above, but I need to maintain 20+ language training applications - each of which has thousands of short utterances. I don't want to be forced to do such an ugly hack just to support Vista. Several other people have suggested downloading new drivers and disable all audio enhancements, but that hasn't helped. And the problem isn't just on RealTek and SigmaTel audio drivers - I've seen it on my Creative X-Fi card as well with brand new drivers. I've validated this error on a number of machines and with Vista SP1. Can anyone help me out? This is very frustrating and I need a better solution. Thanks, --Tim Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 262912

Usually the recently added is full of music that I've added. This week absolutely nothing is in this folder?? I've read previous posts from last year and I gather there is a BIG BUG for this one. Any resolutions? Thanks, -- kattails Toronto, Ontario Dell 5150, Pent.D820 Dual Core, 2.8 GHz, 250GB, 1GB-DDR2 SD RAM 533 MHz, NVIDIA Graphics 6800; ATI Theatre 550 Pro-TV Tuner Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 262903

    - WMP 11 and XM Radio I've had occasional problems getting WMP to work with XM Radio via the Media Guide. However, what I'm getting this time doesn't make sense to me. When I login and click "Listen Now" I get this: Failure of server APACHE bridge: No backend server available for connection: timed out after 10 seconds of idempotent set to OFF. Build date/time: Dec 5 2007 15:12:50 Change Number: 1014998 I can login via the xmradio.com website though so it seems to be a problem with WMP connecting to the MX Radio site now. I'm not sure, but if anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Chris Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 262895

    - UNABLE TO REFRESH MUSIC LIBRARY IN WMP11 I had to copy copy My Music folder from my PC1 to PC2. Before I did this, I saved My Music folder on PC2 and renamed it My Music-old, then I copied the contents of My Music from PC1 to My Music folder in PC2 via my network. I later deleted My Music-old. When I try to play the songs in WMP11, I am unable to refresh the music library and I only see a ghost list of duplicate music tracks listed from the old folder that was deleted. These old folders are no longer on my hard drive but WMP11 still shows them as ghosts files in the Music Library. I have tried to delete the Music Library using every possible method available in WMP11, and I even uninstalled the program in safe mode, then reinstalled it but the ghost music library still appears and if I try to click on a song to play it, I get a message that the track is missing (since WMP11 is pointing to music files that are deleted off the drive). I tried again to refresh the library but WMP11 won't do so and won't find "My Music" folder even though the location is the same default location as before on my local drive for PC2. Since I was not able to figure how to fix the problem, I deleted WMP11 and rolled back to WMP9 which works with no problems. I tried once more to upgrade to WMP11 but the same problem with it creating a ghost music library keeps happening. Is there any knowledge base article or hotfix or any solution for this problem? Thank you. Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 262891

    - WMP11 stopped playing DVDs I recently installed a WinTV HVR-1600 and a GA-P35-DS3L(r2) system board with onboard Realtek audio. Subsequently, I found that WMP11 stopped playing DVDs (C00D1163); previously, there was no problem. My Sonic Cineplayer (it came with my DVD drive) does still play DVDs, however. I uninstalled and reinstalled my audio drivers, video drivers, Cinplayer and its decoders, and WMP11 itself, but the problem persists. I tried setting various MPEG decoders as preferred using DECCHECK, but it made no difference. WMP reports the filters listed below (which are consistent with the MPEG filters reported by DECCHECK). I'm running XP Pro SP2, all updates installed. Q9450 processor, 2GB RAM, 8800 GTX video card. Anything else I can try (short of reinstalling Windows)? video nanocosmos MPEG-2 Video Decoder Filter 2 nmpvdec2.ax 2.9.5.4 video HCW MPEG-2 Video Decoder HCW_mcm2vd.ax 1.0.228.60803 video Sonic Cinemaster® DS Video Decoder CinemasterVideo.DLL 2.7.6.9085 video InterVideo NonCSS Video Decoder for Hauppauge IviVideo_Hauppauge.ax 4.5.28.238 video Roxio Smart Encoder MPEG2VidCodec.dll 8.1.2.22 video Roxio MPEG2 Video Decoder MPEG2VidCodec.dll 8.1.2.22 video Roxio Smart Decoder MPEG2VidCodec.dll 8.1.2.22 video Roxio MPEG2 Encoder MPEG2VidCodec.dll 8.1.2.22 audio HCW Layer II Audio Decoder hcw_mcl2ad.ax 1.0.2.60524 audio Nano Audio Filter nanoAudioNull.ax 1.0.0.0 audio Sonic Cinemaster® MCE Audio Decoder CinemasterAudio.DLL 2.5.4.1414 audio InterVideo NonCSS Audio Decoder for Hauppauge IviAudio_Hauppauge.ax 4.5.28.238 audio Roxio Audio Decoder (DVD) RoxioDVDAudio.dll 8.1.2.22 Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 262890

    - WMP11 - Fails to enable media sharing on Windows I'm trying to enable media sharing from WMP11. The media sharing dialog presents itself, whereby I select to "Share my media", hit OK - and then no reponse and I return to the same dialog as if I had not done anything. I've checked the Event Viewer and it records a system error (Event ID: 7001) - "The WMP Network Sharing Service service depends on the UPNP Device Host service which failed to start because of the error: %%0" I've tried to manually start the UPNPhost service but it starts and then stops immediately. Any help would be appreciated. Tag: WMP won't start Tag: 262888

when I run wmplayer.exe nothing happens, whether I open wmplayer.exe or pick
it from the start menu. I'm suspicious this is related to a recent itunes
install. Where do I go from here since there is no download for VISTA?

P.S. Vista SP1 was also just installed. An attempt to uninstall WMP also
does nothing.

Is "wmplayer.exe" listed in the Processes tab of Task Manager?

What devices are attached to the system?

Thanks very much for your response. I suddenly realized though I hadn't even
tried rebooting which fixed the problem. Duh!
