No that didn't work. Now I am downloading it, and reinstalling wmp to see if fixes it.

Hello,
I'm having problems w/ WMP11 too (Vista Premimum). My ripped CD and playlist are no longer importing to library...just in music fold. Did reinstalling solove you're issue and did you first uninstall (don't see player in add/remove)? Or did you just reinstall over what's there? Thanks for your help

Any one experiencing sound problems with WMP 11, (music takes too long to load, skippes every last 20 sec.) follow this..

1. control panel
2. go to sound
3. click on the headphones/speakers
4.click enhancements
5.put a check into the "disable all enhancements"

and ther you go

Re: windows media player 11 problem

right sounds to me like a codec problem download gspot (nothing to do with porn)

www.headbands.com/gspot

It will enable you to open the file and will then check to see if your comp has the correct codec installed.

But i would strongly recomend that you download a codec package google it you will find loads.

If this doesn't work download vlc media player its a universal media player that will play literally everything and anything is one hundred times better than windows media player. If you do decide to do it set it as your default media player you can do this in control pannel if you need any more help or if this doesnt work.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium and was able to view DVDs until a few days ago. Now there seems to be no definitive answer as to how to fix the problem. Any new ideas out there? Thanks..

try the following:
I have windows vista home premium.
I could not view any video in wmp 11 but I had sound.
I went into my registry and found that entries relating to wmp 11 was not accessible.
hklm\software\microsoft\mediaplayer

had to manually check all of them within regedit

click on entry in registry, click ok on error, right click on entry, choose permissions, click ok on warning message

(-noticed there are no permissions specified and no owner specified.)

click on advanced, click ok on warning message, go to owner tab, specify administrators group as owner, apply, ok
click add, everyone group, allow full control.

After i had done this could see video and all visualizations in wmp11.

I do not know what was the cause, maybe a other software or a registry cleaner? don't know...?

Re: windows media player 11 problem

would you please explain a little more?

i seem to be having the same problem...some videos only play sound but no video...and i cant seem to find the place in the registry that you are talking about...

the only solution i have found is to use VLC Player...It works for every video...

I opened Regedit ( windows registry editor)
click on windows start button, type in regedit in search box, open regedit.

open the following location
open computer, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, MICROSOFT, MEDIAPLAYER.

ok, if you click on any entry under the mediaplayer node and it states an error that you cannot access that entry you probably have the same problem. This error occurs because there is no owner specified and no permissions specified for that entry.

What i did was the following:
I clicked on all the entries, and if the error popup appears, i clicked ok on error message (it is the only choice one have)
Then right clicked on same entry, then it will display menu, click on permissions.
A warning message pops up - cannot remember what it said.
just enter or click ok to close message.

now you should see permissions window in front of you.

Re: windows media player 11 problem

ahh...ok, thanks...i got confused what to do after i get the error message...

anyway i did everything, set the owners and permissions...and restarted the computer and it still doesnt work...

it has to do with the codec...if you dont have the right codec, like the DivX codec installed, windows media player wont play DivX movies...
