There is a driver issue. Re-install Windows Media Player.

It should happen in real time.  Give or take...\n\nYou may want to try a different media player to the one you're using - VLC is free and quite good.  Also, is your graphics card a current model with the latest drivers? You should also deactivate all utility software during the process - virus checks, background moitors etc.

If you are refering to the auto-start option that is usually triggered when you insert the CD, you may have turned it off by error.\nIn windows explorer, right click your CD drive. In the properties>auto play Tab, check if play selection has been selected. If not, choose that.\nIf that is the case and even then it is not playing, try playing it from open file menu on the Win media player. If there is still an error, try re-installing Media player.

no it won't cause any problems. Just don't download any windows updates. \n\nAnd you won't be able to use the new windows media player. it can detect if your computer is valid or not.

To return to Windows Media Player 9 it mostly require a System Restore checkpoint in Windows XP.Note that decision to use system restore will revert your latest user setting to a earlier state, and it may damage all the installed software which only appear after that checkpoint was generated. Be careful if you are going to use it.\n\nTry this: Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, click the big button 'Add/Remove Windows Components'. Look if the 'Windows Media Player' checkbox is available. If it is there, tick it and click button 'Next' to proceed.\n\nThis act may require Windows XP CD which match to your PC's version, except you're using a genuine Windows XP copy comes along with your PC/Laptop manufacturer (as the operating system contains a system resource backup in the harddrive).\n\nIf you cannot rearch this solution, you will be forced to repair/rebulid your copy of Windows XP using a Windows XP installation CD. The system performance, user data safety & all installed software functionality are not promised.\n\nIf you're using a genuine Windows XP copy comes along with your PC/Laptop manufacturer, you are forced to run a factory recovery from the system recovery CD/DVD shipped to you, or a recovery partition (which is hiddren from you, please record a phyiscal copy to a set of CD/DVDs using manufacturer's application for safety, read user guide about this.) inside your PC/Laptop harddrive. You have to follow the instruction(s) from manufacturer. REMEMBER THAT ALL DATA WILL LOSE, PLEASE BACKUP THEM FIRST.

You have a corrupt installer which has not registered itself properly with the codecs present in your system.\nYou can only download a fresh copy for it to work properly.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx

Per experience, Windows Media Player is a resource hog (but Media Player Classic is pretty light!).  Winamp (with classical skins), take up the least amount of memory, while Real Player in my experience is the worst of the bunch.

If you have an external dvd recorder, it should just plug in to the usb port and your pc should detect it.\n\nIf not, you might have to reinstall it again.\nOnce you pc detects it then it shows up as a drive in your MyComputer.\n\nIf Windows Media Player wont detect it then use another media player. There's lots of them out there.\n\nYOu can use winamp, apple quicktime, Core player, Ultra Player, well i could go on and on.\ngood luck\nstef

You have two choices:\n1. go to windows updates and see if there are any updates for the media player to download and if yes, download them\n2. Go to add/remove programs, uninstall it and then go to Microsoft site and download it anew.\n\nKeep this in mind: If you need to download it and re-install it make sure that you do a thorough clean up of your system including a check disc and a defrag before re-installing it.\nGood luck

no, your songs are kept as files on your PC.  windows media player is in a folder of its own.  Uninstallign it will only delete the files relevant to the program.\n\nYou may lose play lists etc which are linked to WMP

I would guess no, since Windows Media Player has been integrated with windows pretty extensively for some time now, meaning it has to be on the same drive as windows.

Are you connected to the internet?\n\nIf yes, try to start Internet Explorer up and turn there the Working Offline mode off.\n\nIf no, connect to the internet :)\n\nIf non of this works, something is wrong with your Windows Media Player, you could try installing it again. You can also get information about CDs by doing a Google search...
