Error Message on Windows Media Player 'ONE OR MORE ARGUEMENTS NOT ALLOWED'

THIS FEELS LIKE THE COMMERICAL ...
I'm trying to use Windows Media Player on my Mac Intel -- brand new.
I keep getting this error message -- no kidding!

WMP for Mac has been discontinued and is not written for Intel Macs.
Instead you should use the free Flip4Mac QuickTime WM plugin available free from Flip4Mac.com
If you choose to stick with WMP, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office> rather than an Apple forum.

I have paid for a year subscription, but all the PDF's I attempt to export to Word give me a "Conversion Error" message, citing that the "file's security settings do not allow export." I want a refund. Adobe, please advise. Thank you.

Hi la recruiter,
There are a few types of files that Acrobat can't convert--and PDF files with security applied is one on them. I'm happy to cancel your subscription, if you decide that it's not going to work out for you. Please confirm that you'd like me to proceed with the cancelation, and I'll take care of it right away.

Windows Media Player DLL is busy or not responding.

When I attempt to open a web page with Windows Media Player embedded, Firefox locks up for about 30 seconds, then a message appears that says "Windows Media Player is busy or not responding."
It offers to let me continue waiting, or stop the DLL.
If I continue waiting, the page eventually loads, and Firefox wakes up.
The embedded media player has a gray background and nasty-looking circa 1998 controls. (It used to have contemporary controls, resembling stand-alone media player.)
Embedded media player still works correctly with Internet Explorer, and shows the correct controls and user interface.
I've already set plugins.load_appdir_plugins to true - that wasn't it.
This seems to be a recent issue - earlier versions of Firefox handled the embedded media player fine.
I have npdsplay.dll version 3.0.2.629 and np-mswmp.dll 1.0.0.8 installed.
Thanks.

Hello JacksBack,
Some plugins that are no longer maintained, like the Windows Media plugin, have their files installed in a place that Firefox no longer supports.
Please refer to:

Windows Media Player 11 - Zen Vision:M Not Recognized Anym

I've installed WMP, which is told to be especially very well with Vision:M, and nothing recognizes my Vision:M now.
It's shown up as a Portable Device (with a new icon), with it's Name "Creative Zen Vision:M", I connect, it asks me what to do. Windows Media Player, Vision:M Explorer or firmware updater I've just downloaded doesn't see the player connected. Each time I connect, it appears to be something different on My Computer. Sometimes the device's name with ZVM icon, sometimes Zen Vision:M with portable icon. And it even thought it's a camera or scanner and put it there!
What's going on?

Any chance of posting or PM'ing me your wmsetup.log file? So far I've seen one and that was a total install failure, so isn't the same problem you had.

Anyway, I solved the problem by uninstalling the USB ports from device manager.

Hello all,
I can't open a PP project without this error message appearing:
"The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, reinstall any third-party components that are required and reopen the project".
What I had been doing before this occurred was editing a PP project using ProRes sequences and multi-camera editing. Multi-camera was not working very well and after a few attempts to fix that I gave up and finished the job cutting 3 layers of video instead. AME refused to render the three finished sequences of over 1hr duration so rendered final videos from the PP sequences.
I tried deleting plists for AME, PP and QT, repairing disc permissions and rebooting but there was no improvement.
Client is satisfied for now but will want to come back to this job at a later date so decided to uninstall and re-install AME and PP in the hope both would be ready to work properly when needed again. AME works fine in conjunction with a different PP project but now I can't open the PP project in question without the above error message appearing.
Having searched the net it would seem that the problem may be caused by ProRes but I haven't been able to find a definitive solution for the problem. Does anyone know either:
1. How to fix this?
2. If I chose the "modified using a custom sequence setting", can I be sure that my sequences will look the same even if they don't use ProRes? The final deliverable format will be mp4 so as long as the overall look doesn't change then I can afford a change in the edit codec. It's just that with three sequences over an hour long, I don't want days of work to be ruined.
Other older PP projects of mine open and work fine.
Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0
Media Encoder CC 8.2.0.54
OSX 10.10.2
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Duncan.

Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
Open the PP project.
Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
Set up a new PP project.
Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
This will get you back up an running.
Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
You will keep cut points, crop fx.
Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

You cannot play a movie from the iTunes Store in anything but iTunes or QuickTime Player or on an Apple device. You'll need to connect your computer to your TV to watch that movie there.

PC Suite/Nokia Music Crashes Windows media Player

Vista X64 SP1
PC suite 7.1.30.9
nokia music 1.3.20722.01
After downloading, installing and running these programs yesterday I got a message saying 'Windows media player has stopped working, I haven't loaded windows media player, so presumably this is down to the music application. After I receive this message I can't run media player, or winamp until I restart my computer.
After a restart if I load winamp before nokia music it plays fine, I get the error message but winamp keeps working, but if I close it and try and open it it won't load again.
It's pretty weak that these applications are preventing other software on my computer from working, I mean it's not like media player and winamp are obscure programs.
Has anyone else had this or know of a way to fix it.

I have a similar problem. When I connect my E52 to my PC in "PC Suite" mode (USB/or Bluetooth) the currently running WinAmp will be crash in a few secounds. If I try to restart it, the same will happen as long as the phone connected. This poblem exits on both of my computers (on has Win XP, the oder has VIsta on it)

How do I uninstall Windows Media Player 11 (from Windows XP)

I tried to uninstall Windows Media Player 11 using the 2 methods in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934372/en-us
The 1st method rolled back Windows Media Player 11 , but I want to uninstall it.
The 2nd method gave me the following pop-window:
Run
C:\WINDOWS\$ntUninstallwmp11$\spuninst refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network,
and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location.
I am surprised that Microsoft supplies a product that one cannot uninstall.
I would very much like to uninstall Windows Media Player 11 -
If that is not possible, I could re-install it.
Thanks for any helo.
OK

Which Code of avi can play in QT Pro and Window Media Player?

Which Code of avi also can play in QT Pro and Window Media Player?

Nevermind ... not that simple apparently. I managed to get one of the avi's in the CS5 project created automatically when opening the original CS4 project to show the entire contents but can't replicate the behavior to another project using the same avi. Here are the media start, end, duration and video in, out duration values for the file. Viewing the avi in the source monitor I can see the full 16+ minutes. Odd disconnect between the 2 sets of values.
Any idea would be great!
Thanks,
Lee

View Log Function on Palm TX opens in Windows Media Player, instead of a new window.

hi,
when i clicked on "view log" after a hot sync operation a few hours ago, it brought up windows media player which, of course, could not display it. this is the first occurrence. i am using a palm tx with desktop version 4.2 and a hot sync version of 6.0.1. Strangely, view log opened up on my handheld as it has done many times. i closed the hot sync program, then opened it, and tried a hot sync--no go, media played still opened.
i'm running the palm program on an IBM Thinkpad, with windows xp pro, SP2.
thanks, in advance, for your advice.

Your computer has a File Association problem.
The HotSync log file on a PC has an extension of .htm. Somehow, your computer has associated Windows Media Player with that type of file.
Open My Computer, then pick the Tools tab. Choose Folder Options, then the File Types tab.
Scroll down to the HTM file extension, and see what program is associated with it. I'm betting it says Windows Media Player. Tap the "Change" button, and pick the web browser program you use (mine is set to FireFox). Click the checkmark in "Always use this program" then click OK.
Now it should open correctly.

Windows Media Player Extension Overrides Quicktime Plugin in IE 7 & 8

I have some .mp4 videos on my website that stream brilliantly with the Quicktime plug-in, in Firefox.
If I use IE, the information bar drops down and wants to use "Windows Media Player Extension." If a user allows it, the player turns into a WMP GUI. At that point it is impossible to switch back to the Quicktime Plug-in.
I'm afraid users will allow the WMP Extension and then never be able to watch the videos. Any suggestions?

Proper html page code would "force" the QuickTime browser plug-in be used instead of Windows Media Player even if the user had the .mp4 extension assigned to it.
http://www.qtbridge.com/pageot/
Free software that can write the code. You need only copy/paste it into your page.
You could also put the same codecs into a .mov container (simple Save As using QuickTime Player Pro). Nearly all users have the .mov file extension assigned to QuickTime.

Windows Media Player in Mac OSX 10.4

I recently upgraded to 10.4 a few months ago, and before I did that, I had Windows Media Player installed on Saffari. When I Upgraded, it still worked, but when I upgraded my other Mac to 10.4, I tried to install Windows Media Player on Safari but it did mot work. My guess is that 10.4 does not recognize the .sitx format that previously worked on my 10.3. So is there another version of Windows Media Player that I'm just not seeing, or can I download another player for Safari?

Hi Tanner,
My guess is that 10.4 does not recognize the .sitx format that previously worked on my 10.3
Mac OS X 10.4 no longers comes with StuffIt Expander. You'll need to install that to be able to use .sitx files.

Emailing song to open with Windows Media Player

Does anyone know how to send a song from iTunes to someone as an email attachment that will be in a format Windows Media Player can open?
When I copy a song it always comes out as a Real Player file. I want it as a Windows Media Player appropriate file.

You're not going to be able to convert a m4a (which can be played in iTunes OR real player) file like that on the fly. Especially if it's a protected file that was purchased from the iTunes Store. If it wasn't purchased from the iTunes Store, you can find a converter program that will convert the files to WMA. Just google it -- I am sure they exist. From there, you can email it as a WMA.
Or, you could convert the song (if it's not protected) into an mp3 file within iTunes. The mp3 file could be email and opened within Windows Media player.
