Windows Media Player 9 wants to become my primary media player.  I want to play DVDs (movies).  Does WMP9 interfer with iTunes?

I just had to reformat my computer.  I want to play a movie (DVD) on my computer.  Windows Media Player 9 wants to become my primary media player.  Will doing this conflict with my iTunes database?  Thanks

Ron,
Unfortunately, you are not the first to run into this issue.  It is a known issue that WMP 9 will not work properly with LabVIEW 8.0.1 and the only workaround that I have found to work is to upgrade to WMP 10.  Since WMP 10 will not work on Windows 2000, then your other option would be to install WMP 7.1 onto the system.  You can get the download here:

And yes, I was referring to reinserting the ActiveX object into the container, though I have not tried to do this on my machine since I have WMP 10, I have heard that it worked for others.

  • I want to stream all audio to my stereo via AirPort. Right now audio only streams with iTunes, not when I'm online (YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify). What must I do? Thanks! 2011 macbook pro 10.6.8

    Thanks, Bob. I've seen this suggested before. However, I'm at a friend's place (cat-sitting). He owns an older MacBook (almost positive) and he streams audio without Airfoil. All he uses is AirPort Express. He told me to simply click alt-option and the volume icon and a menu drops down, and I select "AirPort Express". But it never appears. All the menu offers is this:
    "AirPort Express" isn't an option.
    Why is that? Is there something fundamental I'm not doing?

  • X-Fi DD-DTS doesn't seem to work right playing DVD Movies with VLC Player or anything els

    I have an X-Fi Platinum with the bay and When I try to Play a DVD with VLC Player And choose a/52 over s/pdif it sounds HORRID skipping and pausing and not functioning at all.. I must choose 5. channel to have Listenable Audio. The Same goes for AC3 Encoded Files If I chose A/52 over S/PDIF in VLC player it sounds like **bleep** and doesn't seem to decode it right. I must chose stereo 2 channel to listen to AC3 encoded video's.. NOTE The dolby Digital symbol DOES appear when i chose A/52 over S/PDIF so it does know it's a digital signal.. And I have the software set to USE hardware decoder and S/PDIF in Decode selected. NOW Here's something that REALLY makes me wonder wtf is wrong, I can connect my Home DVD Player or Cable Box over the Optical?in OR the S/PDIF in and the SOB works Fine, The Dolby Digital symbol comes up and everything sounds great! I get Dolby Digital surround no problem..Why in the heck does it not want to play DVD's using the A/52 over S/PDIF or any AC3 Encoded Files?What's the deal?And I am using windows XP Pro SP2 yadda yadda yadda?Message Edited by mbrown0420 on 07-25-20070:58 PM

  • Cannot play DVD movies in Windows XP

    Does anyone know of any driver that I have to download in order to play just regular old DVD movies with Boot Camp? The CD-ROM aspect of the drive works fine, as I play games all the time...but when I try to play a movie it says that it cannot....has anyone found a fix to this?

    Lol well unfortunately it didn't, I installed it, popped a movie in, and this is the messege that i got:
    Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card.
    It was just a regular DVD movie bought from the store, not a burnt one or anything...I'm confused...

  • New itouch does not register with itunes 7.4 on Windows XP

    I hook my itouch up to the computer and it only registers to my Windows XP as a camera, asking if i want to put pictures on it. Is there any way I can get my new itouch to work on this version of itunes on this computer?

    If your ipod has version 2.0, you need iTunes 7.7. I know 1.1.x worked on 7.6, and I can only assume it worked with 7.4 and 7.5. (I got my ipod in late may '08). And I'm not a Windows user...

  • I want to go back to 3.6 because 4 is dangerous and 5 does not work with essential addons and websites. How do I find previous versions to install?

    The new major update cycle is way too fast. I want to get off. Please tell me how to uninstall 4.0.1 and reinstall 3.6.4 (MacOS-X). Reading up on the critical vulnerabilities for 4.0 convinced me that I don't need this headache. I've only installed 4.0 on one of my three computers (home). Wait! I see that 3.6.dmg is still in my downloads! Now, I just need to figure out how to uninstall 4.0!

    Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Firefox 3.6.18 would be the safer choice.
    Here's the process to roll back:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 5.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
    Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

  • How can I play apps that I've downloaded with iTunes on my Windows laptop?

Am i doing something wrong or just wasting my time, Thank you in advance

  • IPhone 4S does not sync with iTunes windows

    Hello
    I recently upgraded to an iphone 4S from a iphone 3GS.  The new phone was restored with my 3GS settings, apps, etc. For some recent  Iam able to sync with my iphone 3GS and my iTunes library (cabled) and all songs are successfully sync'd.  I am not able to do the same with my iphone 4S - am unable to sync all the songs across to my iphone 4S. I keep getting essage that a number song could not be synced and see itunes for error message.
    I have have restored the iphone 4S a couple of times from backup but to no avail.  Using the latest ios and itunes versions for both.  Any help would be appreciated in resolving this issue. From the various threads, this seems to be a common issue.
    Thanks.
    LP

    Hello
    As a follow-up to my query - I have since done a complete reset and set up as a new phone and new name.  All sync issues seemed to have been fixed.  All seems to be in working order.

  • 'Ripping' DVD movies for Windows

    Is there anyone who could point me in the direction for an application that would allow me to rip dvd movies, but for Windows. All the other posts and applications I have found on the internet are for Mac, which is of no use to me.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Welcome to Discussions. Try this thread David Fernandez, "How To Copy DVDs to iPod using free software for Windows" #94, 02:32pm Nov 2, 2005 CDT. An alternative product is PQ DVD, which does it all in one app, but it does cost £35 if you want more than 8-12 mins. With the above, also be careful with sound tracks, as it is easy to get the directors cut instead of the actors, so always do a small test before doing a whole film.

  • MBP will not accept CD media, but plays DVDs fine...

    My Macbook Pro 17" (late 2008) will not accept any type of CD media, but will accept DVDs and plays DVD movies fine.
    Store-bought music CDs, CD-Rs & RWs I burned myself from iTunes, data CDs -- all simply eject shortly after insertion. I have tried using a laser lens cleaner (SkipDr, with cleaning brushes on the disc) but no luck.
    I see I'm not alone. Posted this in another thread earlier this week, and many others having the same problem. We all started having this problem at roughly the same time... Late May or so.
    Anyone have a clue what's up with this? Hoping for an OS patch or firmware fix, rather than a "buy a new drive" fix, natch!
    Thank you. Any help appreciated!

    Wow. Thanks for all your helpful, thoughtful and insightful replies! Lol.

  • Can't play dvd on hp2000 windows 8.1

    View Solution.

    Hi:
    It could be a couple of things...
    1. You need to install the DVD playing software again as a result of the upgrade.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-131397-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    2. As a result of the upgrade, the DVD is not recognized.
    If you do not see a DVD drive listed in 'This Computer,' then a driver error occured during the upgrade.
    Please see the link below and try each of resolution steps 2, 3, 4 and 5.  One of them (normally #3 or #5) will fix the problem.

    Yes. You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection to regain use of the iPod.
