the fact is that WMP is crap. disable it and get Real Player or Quicktime.

Wel maybe the files its still in use by a program. Try CTRL+ALT+DEL to see the programs that are currently running and terminate those related to WindowsMediaPlayer in the Process Tab. There you will find a file named "wmplayer.exe" or similar, select it then "Finish" the process.\n\nAfter that, go and try to delete your file.\n\nThis method is similar to the above that said to reboot and/or go to SafeMode because that way you force all the programs to go down.

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!

"A problem has occurred in the Digital Rights Management component. Contact product support for this application." (error code is C00D2751).\nDuring individualization, the application contacts the Microsoft Individualization Service, which installs a security upgrade on your computer. Individualization can occur when you play a packaged file. The application sends the license request to the Windows Media License Service, which inspects the certificate of the application that is requesting the license. If the Digital Right Management (DRM) component of the application has not been individualized, Windows Media License Service refuses to issue the license. The policy of Windows Media License Service is to issue licenses only to individualized players.\n\nThe application then notifies you that the application must be upgraded. If you agree, a security upgrade is provided to individualize the DRM component of the application.\n\nOn Windows Me, if Windows Media Player 7.00.00.1440 never obtains a version 7 license before being individualized, the individualization process breaks the DRM client.\n\nThe official Microsoft fix for this can be found here\n\nIf you're having problems finding the files mentioned in this fix, please do the following:\n\n1. Open Windows Explorer\n2. Go to Folder Options and select View\n3. Ensure there is a tick in the Show hidden files and folders box\n4. Ensure there is a tick in the Hide protected operating system files box\n5. Click OK\n\n"The docfile has been corrupted."

Upgrade your Windows Media player. Chances are that the WMV file you're tring to view was encoded using a newer codec.

Just use the BURN option in Windows Media Player that comes with your PC (unless you have a Mac).

Easiest way is to rename the file to a plain text file (*.txt) (and obviously change it back before trying to play it).\n\nMost file blockers are pretty basic, and use the file extention to determine the type of file. Anything binary they stop, since it could contain a virus. Given Windows' reliance on file extensions, rather than headers, to identify files, i'd imagine MSN would be fooled by this as well.\n\n.zips are generally blocked, too, since they can contain executables.

Get a program such as Window Washer. It will delete duplicate files on your computer without removing anything you need. If you want it to, these programs will also clear your internet cache and files you haven't used in a long time. You don't have to get Window Washer, though. A less expensive uninstaller program will work fine. Just make sure it is from a reputable company like McAfee, Symantec (Norton), etc.

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 your using the windows xp providing burning. it may burn it according to the way it was sorted. \n\nyour best bet is to use windows media player and setting up a playlist so you can choose how it should be played. \n\notherwise, get a third party program like nero to take care of the job... But if it is WMA, Windows Media Player will suffice just fine.

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.
