My Window Media Files will not run

This is a strange one, We installed PE4 and have had no issues. Just last week when I render a video as a window media file, there is no outward indication of an issue. When I try to play the file it will not play on Window Media Player. And I have tried to insert the file into Powerpoint and it also fails. I can render the file as a quicktime file with no issue, but this will not insert into a powerpoint presentation. I tried to "repair" the installation and uninstall and reinstall to no avail. Window Media Player files just quit running. When I run old files that were rendered with the program no problem. Is there an issue with a Media Player Upgrade?
Please Help........

gtwalkeriii,
What settings did you choose for the WMV? That could have a lot to do with it not playing. Have you tried to play it in programs like VLC Player? Have you run it though G-Spot (www.headbands.com/gspot) to see what it reports? Often, it will pick up errors in files. While it does a better analysis of MPEG and AVI files, most WMV's will also yield a report.
Good luck,
Hunt

    i'm not sure your expectations are realistic.  ps 5 was designed for win95.
    you can't fault adobe for failing to design ps 5 so it would be compatibile with an os that wasn't in existance when ps 5 was released. 
    to be sure, adobe did not  warrant their software would work with all future operating systems.  and no other software company can or does make such a claim.

  • Windows CS4 files will not open on the Mac

    How come Windows CS4 files will not open on the Mac version?

    Anyway Adobe state they are cross platform so this is pretty missleading !
    MCR, you asked in your previous post:
    "Is that true of all CS4 project files like Premiere Pro and After Effects?"
    I answered:
    "No."
    Which means After Effects and Premiere project files are cross-platform. But Encore projects are not cross-platform.
    Is that clearer?
    Regarding your last sentence, if you're referring to AE and PPro files, that is true. But it is not true of Encore project files.

  • Windows media player will not work as no DVD driver

    Had to format disk (trojan) & reinstall Windows XP home. Now Windows media player will not work as no DVD Driver, can I download from Toshiba site?

    Hi
    Usually the Windows media Player is not able to play DVD movies IF no plug-ins were installed.
    To watch DVD movies you can use the programs like WinDVD or PowerDVD.
    Such programs were designed especially for the DVD playing!
    But you can also visit the Microsoft website and search for plug-ins for Windows Media player.
    Then you could download and install it to play DVD with WMP

  • Windows media player will not play tutorial videos

    I get messages that my media player will not read the video tutorials.

    Sorry, a little new to Adobe forums.  Basically I bought Photoshop Elements which provides several online tutorials.  Buried in the tutorial page was the note that they show best with Quicktime.  Problem solved.  Adobe software problem, no.

  • Windows Media Player will not play embedded in Firefox

    I'm puzzled over the sudden inability to play embedded Windows Media Player files in Firefox. Everything was working fine, then suddenly yesterday with no changes made by me and no updates or other changes to the system I am aware of, suddenly it will not play.
    I can right click a link and save it, and it will play in the regular Media Player. However, when the content is embedded in a website, it loads the page and just sits there. Won't play.
    I'm using:
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    Windows Media Player v. 11.0.6002.18311
    Firefox 3.5.5
    I went to this page:
    http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=206213
    And when I type in about:plugins, I cannot see the DRM files. Am I supposed to? I tried using the Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox (wmpfirefoxplugin) to repair it, but that hasn't helped.
    Any advice? Please keep in mind that I am practically retarded when it comes to tech stuff, and working several jobs and in school full time, so I really don't have the ability to spend hours and hours researching this. I need a concise, quick fix. Thanks!

    Why are you using such an old Firefox/3.5.3 version from 2009 (Gecko/20090824) as shown in the user agent and haven't updated Firefox for such a long time?
    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Finding+your+Firefox+version
    The Firefox 3.5.3 version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates.
    You should at least use the latest Firefox 3.6.x version if you do not want to switch to Firefox 4+ versions.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Updating+Firefox
    Your plugins list in the system details list shows the WMP plugin (np-mswmp), so that plugin should be working.
    Do WMP test pages work?

  • Windows 7 Programme will not run at startup

    The .exe is included in the startup items but will not start. 
    Checked Programme runs in XP mode as adminstrator
    Created a scheduled task to startup on logon.

    Is there anything I can modify in the registry to allow this programme to run without manually allowing it?

    Hi,
    I think this issue is related to UAC. Windows: User Account Control can be obnoxious when it prompts you for approval on certain apps every time.
    There is a way to bypass the UAC warning when running programs as administrator.
    Tips and tricks blog MakeUseOf suggests adding frequent offenders to Task Scheduler to avoid this annoyance.
    The process is a little tedious, but easy enough if you're familiar with Task Scheduler:P
    1. In Task Scheduler, right-click "Task Scheduler Library" and select "New Folder" Name it whatever you would like.
    2. Select the new folder and click "Create Task" (not "Create Basic Task")
    3. Name the task something descriptive. Enable "Run with highest privileges," and select your OS under "Configure for."
    4. Under the Actions tab, select "Start a program" in the Action dropdown if it isn't already. Click Browse and find your app's .exe file (usually under Program Files on your C: drive).
    5. (Laptops) Under Conditions tab, deselect "Start the task only if the computer is on AC power."
    6. On your desktop, right click and select New > Shortcut.
    7. Paste 'C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /RUN /TN "Name of folder\Name of task" into the text box.
    This will create a link to your program that will automatically skip the prompt asking for permission to make changes to your computer.
    Hope it helps.

  • Adobe Media Player will not run anymore...

  • Scheduled Task will run on Windows 7, but will not run on Server 2008 R2

    So I have a scheduled task that uses nircmd to take a screenshot and then email it to a few company emails each night.  With our old Exchange 2003 server, everything works prefectly on the 2008 R2 server (using SMTP).  But since we upgraded to
    Exchange 2010 it no longer seems to work (at least it never sends the email anymore).
    What confuses me more is that this exact task (I exported it) runs perfectly fine on a Windows 7 Pro computer, even using the new Exchange 2010 SMTP address.
    Both machines are logged in as the same user.  I can even login as the domain administrator on each machine and still have the same issue.  Only the Windows 7 Pro machine will successful run the task.  To restate it, the Server 2008 R2 server
    will run the task successfully if I use the old Exchange 2003 SMTP address.
    Thanks for any advice!

  • Windows XP Mode will not run

    I have installed Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode following the steps outlined on the Microsoft website.
    I enabled hardware virtualization in the BIOS, as requested, and then ran the hardware virtualization detect tool, and this indicated that hardware virtualization was working ok.
    When I try to run Windows XP Mode, I get the following error message:
    "Cannot start Windows Virtual PC Host Process. Check the system event log for more details
    Server execution failed"
    The Event Viewer shows the following Errors for Virtual PC:
    "One or more files from the Virtual PC installation are missing. Please reinstall Virtual PC and try again."
    and
    "Virtual machine Error - Server execution failed  (0x80080005)"
    I have reinstalled Virtual PC, and I get the same errors.
    I looked at Device Manager, and Virtual PC Host Bus Driver has an exlamation mark, indicating there is a problem. The driver properties reports:
    "Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)"
    If I try to update the driver software, it reports that the best driver software is already installed.
    I get this same device driver error after uninstalling everything, and then re-installing in the order stipulated on the Microsoft website.
    I need to be able to run a Windows XP virtual machine, so please can someone help with this.
    Details of my PC are as follows:
    Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    Processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1240 V2 @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz
    Installed memory (RAM): 32.0 GB
    Motherboard: Asus P8CWS

    This thread is a discussion of a few things that can cause that, hopefully one of the fixes will help you.

  • EDGE file will not run correctly in DPS! Any ideas on what I might do?

    I have built an EDGE file to the size of a full page iPad layout (1024 X 768), with a few elements that animate. I have set it up correctly, and, published to "Animate Deployment Package. However, when it plays in DPS, there is a hesitation (or delay), then, a white - stop in the action - then the animation plays fine. I have not coded in delays or stops.
    I am not a coder.
    I have done a number of tests with a variety of "Poster" images, but, I still get the play "Hesitation" (of delay).
    Can you let me know what I'm not doing correctly?
    Thank you!

    I think I know what your talking about.
    Try these steps.  First in Indesign set your animation to auto play and set a delay for 0.125.  I have been talking with Adobe and they are going to set a guideline to always have a 0.125 delay for animations created with Edge.  Second, make sure you check "Transparent Background" and "Scale Content to Fit".  The good thing here is that it's full screen and set at the 1024.
    Make sure you also set a poster image in Edge so you don't get the blank image before it starts playing on the iPad.  One other thing.  Becasue the animations are basically controlled by Safari on the iPad you may see a delay longer than the 1/8 of second you set.  I attribute this to the iPad having to load it up on demand before it plays.
    Hope this helps.
    Ryan.

  • The Mozilla plugin for Windows Media Player will not allow me to access streaming video whereas both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome will.

    I cannot get the videos I've created to stream with the Mozilla browser. I have no problems with either Internet Explorer or Google Chrome and both will automatically stream my video files. I have had to install the Mozilla Plug in and I still had to wait a long time for the video file to download.
