    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)

    Write-Host Next we connect to the SystemIndex catalog
    $catalog = $sm.GetCatalog("SystemIndex")
    Write-Host Get the interface to the scope rule manager
    $crawlman = $catalog.GetCrawlScopeManager()
    $crawlman.AddUserScopeRule("file:///D:\*",$true,$false,$null)

  • 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.

  • Thinkvantage "access connections windows wireless service" has stopped working

    My new computer is a  T400 running Windows 7 (lenovo disk installed after purchase) .
    While it still connects to the internet through the Windows(?) "open network and sharing center the Thinkvantage Technologies "access connections windows wireless service"  has stopped working.  It worked fine for a while (4-6 weeks).
    Any ideas on how to get it started again?  
    Thanks

    Thank you for your reply.  I'm just not sure what "it" to uninstall or where to get the new "it" to download.  Would you mind adding those details for me?  I appreciate your help

  • Windows desktop gadgets has stopped working

    As of a few days ago my desktop gadgets have stopped working.  When I start Windows they appear to function normally for a minute or so then the error message "Windows desktop gadgets has stopped working" appears.  Sometimes there is a second attmept to launch the gadgets but it fails in the same manner.
    Worryingly for the general robustness of Windows 7, performing a System Restore to a time before the problem arose did NOT fix the problem. 

    I have found this solution and worked perfectly for me, you might want to try it out!
    I own no credit over this!
    Thanks to " Ramesh Srinivasan   "
     Is your Windows Sidebar (Windows Desktop Gadgets) crashing after adding a third-party gadget, with the error "Windows Desktop Gadgets has stopped working" or "Windows
    Sidebar has stopped working" (Windows Vista) at every start? You can stop the offending gadget from loading by editing the Windows Sidebar Gadgets settings file. Here are the instructions, which apply to Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
    If Sidebar.exe process is running, you wouldn’t be able to write to its settings file. Launch Task Manager (taskmgr.exe), select the sidebar.exe process and terminate it if it’s running.
    Click Start, type the following path in the Search box and hit ENTER.
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar
    (You can type it in the Run dialog as well.)
    The above location is where the desktop gadgets store their configuration information, in a file named Settings.ini
    First, make a copy of Settings.ini
    Double-click Settings.ini to open it in Notepad.
    Configuration information for the last installed desktop gadget is usually located at the end of the INI file. Using the PrivateSetting_GadgetName line as the hint, locate the corresponding [Section #], select all lines underneath
    and delete it. Trim any blank lines that may have resulted from the deletion.
    Then, move to the top of the INI file, and delete the Section# line that references the offending gadget. As you’ve removed the entries in [Section 5], also delete the following line:
    Section4="5"
    Trim any blank lines that may have resulted from the deletion, and save the Settings.ini file.
    Right-click on the Desktop, and click Gadgets. This starts the Sidebar.exe process and shows the gadgets listed in the Settings.ini file.

    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 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!

  • Powershell 4.0: Problem with error handling inside Eventhandlers - Powershell has stopped working

    Hallo!
    Please see the attached sample code. This code simply show a small WPF-Dialog.
    Test 1 (showing the problem)
    Simply run the program. You will see Powershell crashing "Powershell has stopped working".
    The cause of this is the devision by 0 inside the Eventhandler.
    We would normally expect, that the exception should be handled by the trap.
    Test 2 (showing normal operation)
    Simply remove the comment in line 28 ($i=1/0).
    This activates an exception outside the Eventhandler. Now the Trap will be executed normally.
    --> The exception can be handled by the Powershell Devloper.
    Can anybody help? Why does the Error management via Trap not work inside Eventhandlers?
    Thanks for some assistance and ideas!
    Regards
