I was having problems with my media player so I called microsoft. This was the site they gave me. Easy to install.\n\nhttp://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm

Try the XP codec pack from the site below.\n\nAlso try using another media player, like Zoom, Media Player Classic is included with the codec pack.

send them and email for support with that... maybe if you have another song or video playing on your page, their player will not start automatically

I used to have that happen.  I just gave up on it and started to use something called VLC Media Player.  It is free, just search www.download.com for it.  It can play anything and everything, it is quite possibly THE best media player out there :)\nOR go to Microsoft.com and get support from them directly, who better to answer a question then the manufacturer?

This is very unusual.  Is it possible that you have a huge library of music and video and the player is updating or re-indexing it?  I'd recommend letting it run alone for a couple hours and see if processor usage subsides.  It may be a one time thing.\n\nAlternatively maybe there's a plug-in or some 3rd party app that connects to WMP and is causing a hang?  I'd suggest looking to Microsoft for answers.  They have support forums and newsgroups that might help.

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

The first thing to do, always, with any error like this, is reboot.  If that doesn't help let us know.  If it doesn't, try clearing out the temporary internet files, try getting windows media player upgrades if you don't have the latest version.  As a last resort, go to control panel, add/remove and take it out and then load it again.\n\nAs said earlier, this is a MS program, download it only from microsoft dot com, not some third party.

If u have all the right codecs it could be   that your video player is broken....try using another player like mplayer..u can get it from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html  if  that doesn't work,maybe your video card is broken,and you should replace it...but sometimes,it just that Windows it's working badly  a nd  you need   to reinstall it

To make the long story short, first uninstall your Windows Media Player, from  add/remove windows components, in your control panel. Once you have donde so go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/mp10/default.aspx and download it and install it again. This should take care of the problem, and avoid you further waste of time,\n\nGood Luck!

i got your problem .the format of the music or video is not supported .so please check the format and if its in rm,mp4, then u should have codecs to play them in windows media player or else change the format by using a converter software .the best converting s/w is xilisoft video converter.download it from \nhttp://www.free-codecs.com/download/Xilisoft_Video_Converter.htm

This is a bit like killing a mosquito with a shotgun, but I sugest you install the K-lite Mega codec pack - it contains basically every codec that exists.  While this is overkill for your problem, it should ensure that you never run into a video or audio file that you can't play.\n\nIt also includes the 'media player classic' - which I find to be vastly superior to the newer versions of media player, but you don't have to use it if you like WMP 11.\n\nJust download the file from the link I included and do the default install.  Reboot, and you should be good to go.

go to http://www.microsoft.com/ downloads section, download windows media player 9 (or 10 if you have xp sp2) and it will replace the old installation automatically.\nif the error happend again then there should be a problem with the files you trying to run with media player.

I dont think the problem is with your computer ... You might not just have the right player to play the video. Try downloading the latest Media player or real player or quicktime player. If you have these then you will have to install approppriate codec so that player can efefctively play those videos. download http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm and then try playing the video
