Windows Media Player Classic in Adobe Reader X

Every time when i want to play a video in (PDF file) Adobe Reader X it wants to play it with Windows media player classic. And the only thing adobe reader shows me is the logo from WMPC, it wont play the video. The video files are .wmv so that can't be the problem.
System specs:
Windows XP Pro. SP3
Installed .Net Framework 2,3,4.
Windows Media player 11 what also installs WMPC 6.4
No codec pack installed.
What i've tried:
Uninstall - re-install Adobe Reader X
Uninstall - re-install Windows Media Player 11
Turned off Windows featurs for Windows Media Player Classic
Turned all the functions off within WMPC so that it wont play the video files. (extensions)
Within adobe reader edit-preferences,Multimedia tabs. I allowed to play files within the reader and i also tried the preferred media player configurations.
The weard thing is that when i search the movie in the Temp folder off adobe reader it will play the video.

search apple downloads for stuffit expander, it is an unzip program that the file is looking for

Whenever I play anything on Windows Media Player Classic, the middle mouse button does not work as a vertical scroll in firefox, but instead shows a horizontal scroll that does not scroll the web pages. How can I fix this problem?

Hello Rolando,
Welcome to Sony Community.
You can directly transfer content by drag-and-drop to your computer from the below link:
http://esupport.sony.com/docs/reader/PRST1/eng/contents/03/01/02/02.html?search=windows
Also, you can try the “SYNC” option in the Windows Media Player, after connecting the Reader to the Computer, for transferring the songs.
Refer the below link to check for the supported file types.

Windows media Player suddenly can't read some of my MP3, and only with one user account !!!

Hi!
here is my problem:
I have a lot of MP3 in my W7 personnal computer at home. I read MP3 everyday with WMP and all was working fine, until some days ago. Some of my MP3 can't be read by WMP. I've looked at their properties, but there is nothing wrong, compared to others
MP3 that I can read.
The "unreadable" files are correctly read by VLC. So they are not corrupted.
When I swtich to an other user, the same MP3 are read correctly with WMP. (Both usersd are admins)
My MP3 are présents on two computers at home. When I connect from my second computer with a
\\computername\c$, I can read these files. So the files are definitivly OK. But when I connect from my first computer to the second one, I can't read the MPS that have the same name! it's absolutely strange!
I've tried to uninstall WMP, to delete all files related to WMP in my Appdata folder, I have even tried the FixIt from Microsoft, but any of these steps were helpful.
I've copied the "unreadable" files from the Music folder to my desktop, allways the same issue.
I've disabled my Antivirus, but without any results. I've tried the system restore, idem.
My computer is running W7 32 bits, SP1, all updates installed regularly.
Please help me, I want to understand what has happened!!! :)

Hi Yolanda,
the error message is inside a popup: (French trnaslation) "Windows media Player encountered an error and will close." I have the choice beetween "CLOSE" and "HELP ON THE WEB".
Of course the "help" is totally useless....
I don't see any troublshooter related to "media player". The only troubleshooter where I can choose Media player is for the "compatibility mode", so it's not helpful. On the "audio and devices" troubleshooter I see "read
a DVD with Windows Media Player", but that's not my case.
I've already done the last step. I copy the MP3 from my second computer to the "problematic" one, and I can't read my file. But, on the second computer, i can read this MP3 so the issue is ONLY when I try to read this file with my Windows session.
(in the same computer, with the administrator session, I can read all the files).
To put it in a nutshell:
on computer A logged as CEDRIC i can not read the mp3 called SUPERSONG (it's an example lol)
on computer A logged as administrator, I can read the SUPERSONG
on computer B logged as CEDRIC (other local account but same name) I can read the SUPERSONG mp3 that is present in the music Library (that is not the same file, but it's a file with the same name, and of crouse this is the same song). (all my MP3 are copied
from computer A to computer B in case of failure on one of the computers)
on computer A logged as CEDRIC, if I do a
\\computerB\c$\...\SUPERSONG I can not read it.
I know this is complicated to explain, but if I ask to the Microsoft community that is because I don't know what to do ;) ;) ;)

Windows media player files will not play. I downloaded the plug in but does not show up under plugins. Why won't it load?

Whenever I try to play a wmv file through firefox it will not load. It was not a problem a few weeks ago. Under plugins it is saying I do not have windows media player. So I tried downloading it using the troubleshooting directions from firefox. But it still will not show up under plugins. Any help would be much appreciated.

'''np-mswmp''' in your Installed Plugins listing ''(in '''More system details''' to the right of your posting)'' is the Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox.

Why Does Adobe Reader download button launch windows Media Player?

I want to download an owners manual for my dishwasher. When I go to the mfg. site and locate the PDF file and click it to 'run' or 'save' (to desktop), Windows Media Player launches. What's going on?? Please respond soon and thanks. Steve Win 7, IE 10, Reader 11

That sounds like your file association for .pdf files is hosed; you need to assign it to Adobe Reader instead of Media Player: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-default-programs#1TC=windows-7

Adobe reader doesn't open PDF files, get windows media player

why does Adobe Reader window open When i click on "about windows Media Player" , then click on "Technical support information". if the file isnt a PDF file then why is Adobe Reader even summoned?

i looked at Adobe file extensions first and didnt find htm among the ones listed. but then i looked at file extensions and what program is assigned to open htm and sure enough Adobe was assigned to it. i changed it. thank you.

Recording audio in Adobe Audition from a DVD played on Windows Media Player

I use Adobe Audition for audio production. I should be able to play a DVD via Windows Media Player and record the audio from it using Adobe Audition.
It isn't working.
I get a pop-up message indicating: INVALID ASIO INPUT (it continues to read) ! The selected input port or ASIO driver is invalid. Please change your settings in the audio hardware setup dialogue.
I tried that approach, and was not offered the ability to make that change.
Anyone have any ideas? My much older VAIO Sony computer handled this perfectly.
Thanks!

Hey Terry
in the corporate world wee have to contend with clients who are all windows based and prevented from installing anything on their systems.
I use Flip4Mac, Studio Pro HD, with the following mix of settings;
Open clip in QT, I do also use compressor but for some reason I like using QT for exporting to WMV.
File/Export
Export:movie to windows media
Use: One pass VBR, Presentation (high), 16:9
Options>
Advanced... input type: interlace Lower field first(DV), output type: progressive
Coding method: Two pass VBR
Give this a shot and then tweak to suit your needs, oh and you can save your settings as a preset for QuickTime.
Within Compressor there is no export to WMV, so you have to start with another setting and create your own saving it for future use.

I can't save CD-Text that reads with Windows Media Player

I'm trying to burn discs that will play on Windows Media Player showing title, artist, album name, etc., AND play in a stand alone home CD player.
It seems like I've tried almost everything and nothing's working.
I've saved my files as Windows PCM .wav, ACM .wav, WMA, MP3, and OGG and I can't get anything to work. I've burned them with RIFF tags AND MP3(ID3) tags. I've used up dozens of discs and I'm getting nowhere.
I even burned up more discs trying to burn wav, wma, and mp3 files with Record Now software.
I don't know what else I can do. Am I asking too much?
Thanks!

"nowhere have you mentioned whether you have checked to see that the CD-writer in your PC supports CD-text writing - not all of them do, and you should check this specifically."
That's an astute observation. I honestly don't know if it does, and I'll have to check with Lenovo to find out. Thank you for reminding me.
"If you want a couple of name-brand players that will read CD-text, then RealPlayer (from version 10) and Winamp (from version 5.31) will. If you want trusted ones, then I'd say just Winamp..."
I agree with you on Winamp being the better of the two...but, I was hoping for something like iTunes or QuickTime - I'd prefer something that is already loaded on most people's computers. Do you know which players are more likely to already be on most?
"http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/knowledgecenter/howto/albuminfo_how_to.aspx tells you how to get your album info into the Microsoft database."
Peter, I'm thinking that link shows someone how to add info to
their player, but it doesn't allow me to set the data for everyone who plays my CD. It's a
very informative link though. Thank you!
"There is nothing that Adobe can do to change that system."
They don't have to change that system; why can't they work with it? WMP
has the ability to display CD-Text so why can't the two of them get together and work this out? I don't see it happening any other way. I mean, if Adobe doesn't do it, we're pretty much sunk.
Thanks fellas, I've appreciated your comments and your help.

Adobe CC services deny MPC (Media Player Classic)

Hello! I encountered a problem. When Adobe CC app is running, I cannot launch Media Player Classic, which is my default video player. I still can launch WMP (Windows Media Player) though.
When I launch MPC nothing happens, but I see it running in Task Manager. I need to kill Adobe CEF helper processes in order to MPC start playing videos. Until Adobe CEF is closed, MPC doesn't open.
Windows 7 Home Premium, i3 2350M, 4 Gb RAM, 500 Gb HDD.

We would try to create a new account and disable all the third party services running on your machine, and check if your MPC is running fine or not.
Create a new admin user account: Create a user account - Windows Help
Disable startup items, services | Windows, reboot the machine
We would be waiting for your response.
Thanks,

My company web site said I don't have windows media player or Acrobat Reader. If I use IE It lets me in. What do I do?

My company web site said I don't have windows mediA player or Acrobat Reader. If I go in with IE I don't have any problems. What do I do?

There is a very good chance you are experiencing a problem with having both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same machine.
You need to remove one and repair (or possibly reinstall) the other. It isn't recommended or supported to have both.

Using Windows Media Player in Adobe Contribute 4

I have a website I am working on at
www.earntravelvacations.com/businesspresentation.html
I uploaded a video in adobe contribute 4. The problem I have
is...I do not want to video to automatically play when visiting the
webpage but I don't like seeing a bit black screen either. Is there
a way to get the first slide (or image) to show in the windows
media player when it is not playing.
Thanks for your insight!

Try this. It loads the media player. hit play movie then select which movie you want to play. this loads the movie into memory and starts playing then when you hit stop vi it stops the vi and the movie.I do not have any movie files to try this with but I tried this with other media and it worked fine

Windows Media Player won't recognize Adobe Flash

Every time I try to play certain files (SWF files, that used to play in Windows Media Player) this little window pops up informing me that; "To play the selected item, you must install the Adobe Flash Player. To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe Web site."
Problem is, I've downloaded Adobe Flash Player..... I even decided to cover all my bases, and got Shockwave as well but every time I try to play, it pops up the same message, and clicking the "Web Help" button takes me to the exact same page where I downloaded Adobe Flash Player from!
Gonna restart my system, see if that helps it (really feeling like it won't >,>), but if that doesn't work then I'm officially stumped!

Are you loading a particular website? Where is this file that uses Windows Media Player?
Since your issue relates to Flash, which is separate from Shockwave, post teh question, with full details of what you have been doing, to the Flash forum at:

HT1567 why does Windows Media Player read and play a CD-R but iTunes won't?

I created a CD-R using a Windows laptop running Vista. When I attempt to import that CD-R into iTunes, it will not correctly recognize it as an audio CD. Yet Windows Media Player handles it properly. What is the problem?

It is hard to know, except that CD-Rs are finicky.
However, if WMP can handle, rip it in WMP and then add the files to your iTunes library using the command File > Add Folder to LIbrary.
Make sure that your WMP Rip Settings are for MP3, not for WMA.
