Windows Media Player no longer working on windows 7

A year or two ago Windows Media Player stopped working. When I tried to open it, it wouldn't do anything, it wouldn't open. In a windows update, I got zune. Zune isn't exactly easy to use, I like media player better. But it won't work, please fix it!

  • Windows Media Player no longer works with Tiger

    I use Windows Media Player, but have upgraded to Tiger, now I usually get "The hardware license for this content is inconsistent". The content worked before fine. I deleted WMP and its prefs, reinstalled WMP, repaired permissions. Still no go. Ideas?

    I've been looking at another thread with similar issues but different symptoms. You may want to post here what issues you've had:

  • Ps3 media player no longer works after Maverick update

    Since updating to Mavericks OS, I cannot stream my iTunes content to my PS3 using PS3 Media Server. It all worked fine until I did the update. How can I sort this out?

    Here's a technique I use. In a php file:
    header("Expires: Mon, 20 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
    header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
    header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", FALSE);
    header("Pragma: no-cache");
    This must be wrapped in php tags.

  • I can't open wmv files with Lion.  Windows media player doesn't work.  Any suggestions?

    macfriedchikkin's reply would make sense to you if you were trying to open a camera, but if you are trying to view streming media from a web site that is a different story. It helps to be very specific about what you are tyring to do on these forums.
    I belive you would go into Firefox Preferences menu and tell it  to use VLC as the application to play WMV files. I'm still running Tiger,  however, so I can't tell you if it the latest version works wel that way. The Tiger version doesn't seem to, but a lot may have changed since then. (I'm only just getting around to installing Leopard next week now that there are too may apps I can't run on Tiger. ) Perhaps someone else on this forum can better help you set  up the player in your browser.
    Or you can cut out the middleman and give VLC the direct video URL:
    Choose Open File from the File menu and paste in the URL of the video, say,
    http://azul.streamguys.com/auduboncal-1
    or http://azul.streamguys.com/auduboncal-2
    Your media should play this way. Dont forget to save the playlist for later.
    I'l keep investigating on my end, and yes, I'm also  encouraging certain people who are streaming windows media in to switching to a different format

  • 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!

    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)
    More reference:
    What happens if I turn off Windows Media Player?

  • 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
    Best regards

  • Flash Player No Longer Works on Macintosh or Windows

    I have installed, reinstalled, done the permissions thing,
    tried everything - but Flash Player no longer works.
    Many of my friends have the same problem.
    I wish Adobe had never bought Macromedia. Macromedia was
    pretty perfect. I never EVER had a problem with flash before Adobe
    got involved.
    I have to install the flash player every single time I want
    to open up a browser now.
    I have a brand new MacBook Pro Intel, 15 inch - new OS,
    etc,....
    I've read lots of grief from windows users in these forums
    who are experiencing the same problem.
    Has anyone else had this problem on a Macintosh? Have you
    found any solutions?
    Any response would be greatly appreciated.
    much thanks

    It definitely appears to be a flash related issue, more then the browser, as i've tried different versions of firefox and chrome and they all have the same problem with the newer versions of flash

  • Cannot uninstall Adobe Air & Adobe Media Player won't work...

    When I try to uninstall Adobe Air (version 1.0), I get an
    error which tells me to contact my Administrator... well, I am the
    Admin and there is no other user on this computer (Windows XP).
    Does anyone have any idea as to how I can effectively and
    completely uninstall this application? Also, my version of Adobe
    media Player does not work as it is apparently not compatible with
    the current version of Air... Can anyone help, please?

    Please try enabling installer logging to get a better idea of
    why the uninstall is failing. If you can post that log, I should be
    able to help further. See
    http://blogs.adobe.com/simplicity/2007/10/air_installer_logging.html
    for instructions.

  • Adobe Flash Player no longer works

    Adobe Flash Player no longer works. I can't access FB games, videos, YouTube and other items needing Adobe Flash Player. I've uninstalled, re-installed, tried to update but was told not necessary as it is updated yet constantly get an error message that I have to have Flash Player before I can use that app. Any advice or suggestions? BTW, it worked Monday night but not Tuesday a.m. with no changes to anything in between.

  • Windows Media Player does not work on Equium A100-027

    I have an Equium Notebook A100-027 which I bought in February of this year. I have just tried to play my Windows Media Player, but nothing happens when I click on it! It was working fine yesterday, but today it is not working anymore!
    Can anyone help me please?

    Hi,
    it would be useful to know which system you have (vista or xp) and if you recently installed some software or windows updates.
    This will perhaps help you and us users to give you better help on your problem.
    Would appreciate some feedback from you. :)

  • Plugin for Windows Media Player is not working with Firefox 4 on Windows 7

    I updated my Firefox to the latest version 4 yesterday, but since this time seems plugin for Windows Media Player not working anymore. When I visit some website with embedded video - like [http://www.ta3.com/sk/live this] - the window with WMP is not displayed and no video is playing. The website reports: You don´t have any plugin for playing of this video.
    I reinstalled the plugin for WMP several times - with no success. This problem is on all webpages with embedded video for WMP. The installation of WMP plugin is successfully finished, but no video is playing. I checked the “plugins“ folder in the installation directory of Firefox and everything seems to be OK. Where is also the problem? Please, help me with solving of this problem...
