I definitely have put this under the wrong catergory but i don't care, I was wondering why everytime i click on a video to play it says: Windows media player has stopped working

Ok, so I made a video with Bandicam, and every time I click on it to play it (it is saved as an MP4), it just says: Windows Media Player has stopped working. Then it gives me two choices: Close the program OR look online for a solution. I REALLY want to
post these videos, but I can't. If anyone could help that would be great!

Hi juderocks14,
Please first take a check with the other Players and see if they could play the MP4 file normally. If it can't be played, which means it might be corrupted. You may ask at the Bandicam side, or save the files again.
If issue insists, take a try with the Troubleshooter (For Windows 7, 8 and 8.1):
Open the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter
Fix Windows Media Player video, and other media or library issues
Or you may try to turn Windows Features on or off to reset Windows  Media Player:
Turn Windows features on or off (Before turn it on again, please remember to reboot first)
More reference:
What happens if I turn off Windows Media Player?

  • Windows Media Center Has Stopped Working...

    Since I first bought my Toshiba Satellite P305-S89151, I've received "Media Center has stopped working...A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" responses.  When I click on the Close Program dialogue box, I'm provided with an MS KB (KB 947464) article pop-up that is suppose to help me resolve the problem. IT DOESN'T!!! When I click-thru on the KB link, the MS Support site says they can't find their own KB page!  Does anyone know how to repair this Media Center problem on Vista Home Premium (64bit)?
    Thank you!

  • What can I do about this message -"Toshiba DVD Player has stopped working"

    Hi
    My DVD Player used to work fine . . . and then I installed iTunes.
    It then worked for a while, but only by using 'Run as Administrator'.
    After a couple of weeks I started to get the message "Toshiba DVD Player has stopped working".
    I have uninstalled iTunes - and uninstalled and then re-installed the DVD Player - but it still will not work!!
    Any solutions please?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Ms Q_reeus

    My solution to this is to remove Toshiba DVD player and install VLC player. You can get it for free.
    It can read all video formats and you don't need some additional codecs.

  • Starts to load homepage, then Windows message: "Firefox has stopped working" All this after a Firefox update

    Directly after an update, Firefox will no longer start. It begins to load my homepage, then fades away with the Windows message "Firefox has stopped working"
    Looking at Norton security history, I see it blocked plugin-container.exe about the time the update was being downloaded.

    I don't know if this is exactly the same problem, but here's what happened to me:
    One day when I opened Firefox I got a prompt for updates. I got upgraded to version 3.6.16. That was over a week ago. This morning, I opened Firefox, got a prompt for updates, clicked ok, and I ended up upgrading again to 3.6.16. Norton gave me a notification about some file being used by fewer than 100 people and having "medium risk", but I wasn't able to take any action, just read.
    Once that upgrade went through every time I tried to open Firefox, it'd pop up, I'd click no to "Do you want Firefox to be your default browser" and then it'd go white and freeze up. I'd get a message from Windows that there's a problem, Firefox has stopped working, it will be closed. No information was sent regarding the problem.
    When I'd open Firefox I'd see two tabs: one about the upgrade to 3.16.6 along with an invitation to upgrade to version 4, and another being my homepage to yahoo.com.
    I also have Internet Explorer, so I opened that, went to Firefox's website and downloaded version 4. So far that has taken care of the problem~I can use Firefox again.
    However, I did have a couple small difficulties while downloading version 4. Right off it would not immediately start running. That was blocked by my Norton. So I had to click on "click here". Also during the process I got a message about two add-ons being incompatible, so they were disabled, and no updates could be found. They were: Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1. and Norton Toolbar 4.6.
    I worried it was a virus but it seems like more of a compatibility problem involving maybe Norton? I have the 2010 version and haven't upgraded to Norton 2011 yet.
    Anyway, like I said, so far version 4 is working fine, but I thought I'd pass on the incident.

  • I know this is the wrong forum, but- (Mac question)

    I know this is the wrong forum, but…
    Can anyone enlighten me?
    How did a folder named just "Adobe", containing only something called "Acrobat.com.app"), end up in my root Applications folder?
    Double clicking on "Acrobat.com.app" launches an installer that wants to install something called "AIR".  What is that and what is it needed for?
    What forum should I be posting this in?
    A global search and searches in the Acrobat Macintosh forum were not helpful.
    Can I just delete that Adobe folder or ignore it?  It has identical Creation and Modified dates of January 15, 2010 17:56, which raises more questions than it answers.
    Any input will be appreciated.

    P.S. what I wrote above is about the Windows version; I assume that the Mac versions are the same.
    Maybe… kinda, sorta…  There are no ".exe" files in the Mac world. 
    I've never downloaded or installed either Acrobat.com or Adobe AIR.  It has to have been the Acrobat Reader 9.3 update for the Mac that installed that sucker on my Mac. I had certainly never seen it before.
    That, on top of the inexcusable, abominably surreptitious "Growl" installed by Adobe behind my back, strengthens my resolve not to acquire any more Adobe products, free or otherwise. 
    What in blazes are the Adobe corporate folks thinking?

  • 3 weeks after installing Yosemite Flash Player has stopped working

    Hi Apple Community,
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
    I installed OSX Yosemite about 4 weeks ago, no problems until now.
    Just this week Flash Player has stopped working on an education site I belong to.
    The college say there's no problem at their end or for the other students.
    I am using Chrome which I understand updates Flash Player automatically; has there been an update this week or something that might have caused this problem?
    I have tried every suggestion I can find on the internet:
    - uninstalling Flash
    - tried using Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera
    - installing the latest Flash
    - Rebooting
    - checking Flash is installed (it is)
    Is there anything else I can try?
    Or is Flash simply not compatible with Yosemite now?

    Hi ...
    No problems with Flash on Safari 8 with Yosemite here so try testing with Safari.
    First, make sure Allow Plug-ins is selected in Safari > Preferences > Security
    Then from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click: Remove All Website Data
    Now open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Then delete the cache. Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • Everytime I open Adobe Illustrator CC it says ''Adobe Illustrator CC has stopped working.''

    Everytime I open Adobe Illustrator CC it says ''Adobe Illustrator CC has stopped working.''

    Hi Joshh,
    Can you share the crash dump with me.
    The steps to get the crash dump file are:
    Open the “Task Manager” when the Adobe Illustrator CC crash window is displayed.
    In the Task Manager window right-click on the name/string “Adobe Illustrator CC” and select the option “Create Dump File” in the context menu
    It will display a dialog which says that it will create a file “Illustrato.dmp” in your “Temp” folder. Click on OK to create this. Wait for the action to get this completed.
    Once the above file gets completed you can have this file by typing “%temp%” in your “Run” window (press “window button + r” on the keyboard). On clicking the enter key the TEMP folder can be opened.
    Look there for the file name “Illustrator.dmp” and share it with [email protected] using dropbox.
    With Best Regards,
    Raghuveer

  • TS1717 iTunes 11 and Windows 7 (32 bit). iTunes crashes frequently (Windows message : "iTunes has stopped working and will be closed").

    iTunes 11.0.1.12 and Windows 7 (32 bit, latest version). iTunes crashes frequently (Windows message : "iTunes has stopped working and will be closed"). I may be trying to search for an App. or book (or anything else), trying to access iTunes store, checking for updates to Apps., inputting my password, etc. etc. I have uninstalled iTunes several times, reinstalled several times, but the error persists. I tried the iTunes 10 suggested fix of running in safe mode, but iTunes again crashed when I was trying to create a new ID.
    Any real help would be gratefully received. Thank you.

  • QuickTime Player has stopped working

    On my Vista machine, I can not run Quicktime since I get the error "QuickTime Player has stopped working" so it basically crashes. If I run Quicktime from other user accounts it works fine. It also works fine if I run it "as administrator". I have uninstalled and reinstalled it with no success. I have also followed suggestions in this forum to erase some hidden quicktime related files with no success. Does anyone have any other ideas???

    Many thanks. Best to print off a copy of these instructions, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
    Preliminaries
    Switch "Run as administrator" off in the QuickTimePlayer.exe compatibility tab.
    Download and save a fresh copy of the QuickTimeInstaller.exe (installer file) from the following page. Get the option that doesn't mention iTunes. Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Now quit all of iTunes, Safari and the MobileMe control panel if you have them installed and open. (They all use AAS, and may interfere with the uninstall if left open.)
    *Uninstall phase*
    Head into your Uninstall a program control panel. Uninstall QuickTime. Uninstall Apple Application Support.
    (From this point, none of iTunes, Safari or the MobileMe control panel will launch until we reinstall AAS, which should happen when we reinstall QuickTime.)
    Next we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
    In "Computer" open "Local Disk C:" (or whichever drive you have your program files installed on).
    Open the "Program Files" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Open the "Common Files" folder.
    Open the "Apple" folder.
    Right-click on the "Apple Application Support" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    In "Computer" open "Local Disk C:" (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "System32" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" and "QuickTimeVR" files (if they still exist) and select "Delete".
    Empty your Recycle Bin.
    (If you got any error messages on the uninstalls and/or deletions, let us know what they say. Precise text, please.)
    *Reinstall Phase*
    Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the reinstall by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier. (This should also reinstall Apple Application Support.)
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    ... does QuickTime launch without the error this time? Or do we still have to do the "Run as administrator" thing?
