Windows media player crash dumps when i try to play songs or use most functions i.e. drag and drop,

I've been trying to download music from Amazon to my MP3 player. It successfully downloads to my computer, but when I try to do anything in Windows Media Player, I get the crash dump screen. I have, somehow, been able to download some music to the player, but now almost every time the Windows Media Player crashes. Help!

Did you copy the songs directly from a CD or did you download the files from a website?
You can use a different player than the Windows Media Player to play the songs if you copied them from a CD to avoid that.

Windows media player crashes on opening

Hi
I installed WMP in Snow leopard and ran a wmv file and it ran fine.Again when I reboot, the windows media player quits unexpectedly in my snow leopard. I have tried installing it 3-4 times and every time the same thing happens.This is the message in the report.
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS at 0x00000000696e674a
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
Seems like the wmv file corrupts the player.
Pls help.Thanks.

why are you using windows media player? it's deprecated and its support and development has been dropped for many years. if you need to run .wmv files install Flip4Mac or Perian plugins for QT player and use that. or use VLC player.

Windows Media Player Crashes straight after starting program.

Hi Guys,
Can Anybpody help me resolve the followiung ....
I am running Windows 8.1 x64 on my unit (M6 Envy 1205sa).
I am facing the following problem:

Hello again @J-Singh,
I have a couple other suggestions for you to try to fix your Windows Media Player. First to lets try removing Windows Media Player and putting it back to see if it helps. As Windows Media Player is part of your Windows operating system it is not removed and added in the traditional sense, but a feature of the operating system you can remove and put back. Please follow the steps I have set out below to remove and put Windows Media Player back:
Step 1. At your Tiles Menu type "control panel"
Step 2. Click on Control Panel
Step 3. Click on Programs and Features
Step 4. Click on Turn Windows features on or off
Step 5. Click on the + beside Media Features
Step 6. Uncheck the check mark in the check box beside Windows Media Player
Step 7. You will receive a warning message simply click 'Yes'
***It will take a bit of time, but once it is finished removing Windows Media Player restart your computer.
To turn the Windows Media Player feature back on simply follow the steps above only put the check mark back in the check box.
Now if the above steps do not work we are going to try to fix any corrupted files on your computer. To do this follow the steps I have set out below:
Step 1. At your Tiles Menu type "command prompt"
Step 2. Right-click on Command Prompt
Step 3. Click on Run as administrator
Step 4. Type "sfc /scannow" and hit Enter
***This will take a bit let it run it's course
Now the above steps will look for any corrupt files in your operating system and fix them. If they do not resolve your issue it could be with a file that is not part of the operating system in which case I would like you to follow the next set of steps below:
Step 1. Open My Computer
Step 2. Right-click on C: and choose Properties
Step 3. Click on the Tools Tab
***Windows may tell you that you don’t need to scan the drive, as Windows hasn’t found any errors on the drive. Ignore it and continue
Step 4. Click Scan Drive
***Windows may tell you about any problems it encounters and asks for your permission to fix them. Go right ahead and have it fix them.
After you have checked your disc for errors ensure that you restart your computer.
Now it none of the above work the only thing left it to backup and recover your operating system back to factory settings. To backup your personal information and ensure that it is not lost I would like you to review and follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), which will ensure your personal files are up to date.
***WARNING!! If you want to keep any emails or bookmarks/favorites you will want to back those up as well as I do not believe they are backed up in the HP Backup process.
Next, I would like you to review and follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), which will you through recovering your computer back to factory settings.
*** IMPORTANT - Your personal files such as libraries, personalization settings, user accounts, and desktop themes are permanently removed. As well the computer settings are returned to the defaults (the way it was when it came from the factory). All apps and software that were installed on the computer when it came from the factory are reinstalled, and their settings are reset to the defaults. Additionally, software, apps, programs, and everything that you have installed or saved on the computer are permanently removed.
I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

My PC is no longer permitting me to play tunes from my playlist library or even preview songs from the iTunes store. The diamond isn't even moving on the bar when I try to play songs. Any suggestions?

The sound doesn't work. It's set appropriately in settings, the volume is turned up all the way with the side buttons, but no volume. When we try to play songs, it acts like it's going to play and then goes back to the play list. Restored and still no

Hi runner_girl7585,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you weren't ever able to watch your rental movie, you can report this to the iTunes Store:

If i use Ps5 the order lasso, drag and drop or letters the win vista crashes down. Can anybody help?

If i use PS5 the order lasso,drag and drop or letters the win vista crashes down. Can anybody help me?

Now that I'm looking at it, I don't have it... but I still have the problem:(. I rebooted the PRAM, I cleaned my permissions, run utilities checks, nothing helps, I'm at the end of my wits. I called apple - all I got was bad attitude... I don't know what to do, this disfunction makes it impossible for me to work....
does anybody know what I could do to fix this issue?

Windows Media player pausing randomly when running in the background.

Essentially I will set Windows media player to play a playlist. I will start some game. And anywhere from 5-20 minutes into the game, windows media player pauses.
This also happens when I am browsing the web.
Something similar happens when I am using VLC player. But instead of a pause, the volume decreases by about 60%.

Sounds like this happens while online. If so change your properties of your network card to half duplex. Or update your drivers. http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

How would I get information from Windows Media Player to determine when a file is finished playing?

I am creating a program to for Windows Media Player. This program will use external buttons connected to a PCI card to read when a user presses a particular button. I need the program to wait until the video is complete before doing anything else. Is there any way to read this information with a property node?
Help will be much appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Attached is a very simply example (LV 8.2) of using that event.
You need to head over to Microsoft to get the details on the Windows Media Player properties and methods: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd564680%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Windows media player embedded(?) in website won't play

Hello! For some reason, the audio files on some forums won't play. For example, the audio file in first post here shows the controls for windows media player, but nothing works except for the volume slider:

I looked over the list of installed plugins and everything seems to be in order. Can you help?

Works just fine for me and I don't even have Windows Media Player for Mac on my computer or Flip4Mac WMV Player - but if you don't have that you might want to try it out. Flip4Mac WMV Player - with just playback functionality is completely free and is now being distributed by Microsoft to Mac users since it pulled the plug on future development of Windows Media Player.
You might want to make sure you have proper codecs installed.
Try AC3 Codec for Mac OS X (can Google it) for sound
for video you can use Divx 6 for Mac OS X - make sure you have QuickTime properly installed.
make sure before and after you make a major installation that you run Disk Utility to ensure your hard drive continues to work okay.
Flip4Mac WMV Player lets you playback Windows Media files using Apple's QuickTime plugin.
What browser are you using? and what version? Is it Safari? Firefox? Internet Explorer?, Opera etc?
Also make sure iTunes is running correctly on your Mac - by default it is used most often to handle mp3 files. Hope this helps!

When I try to play one of the games my ipod classic freezes and I can not do anything what do I do

Can anyone help as to either why my iPod freezes when I try to play the games or how to sort it out when it freezes

You could try to reset your iPod. Here is how:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.

Itunes 11.0.4.4 crashes when I try to play songs

Certain songs make itunes crash. Some do some don't. I get a "Itunes has stopped working" message. It then tells me it will let me know whan a solution has been found. I have completely uninstalled it and reinstalled it according to Apple's help page. Rebooted. Nothing has changed. Help.

Similar issue. I have one partricular movie that causes the same message. It opens in windows media and oddly in quicktime. My appleTV was able to stream it from itunes. It just wouldn't play the movie in Itunes without crashing immediatley.

I downloaded and installed Windows Media Player for Firefox, why can I not play games?

I have done everything Firefox has told me, in order to play games. I cannot play games on msn, pogo, etc. The game loads, the screen changes and nothing happens. The screen stays blank.

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, and in most cases the paths are listed in the Windows registry. Firefox 21 changed the location of a "shared" plugin folder so those installers that do not include the path in the registry may strand the plugin in the obsolete location. The solution is in this article: [[Windows Media or other plugins stopped working after Firefox update]].
