Media Player 11 corruption?
Player won't play most content (avi, mpeg, asf are some) - it plays some
wmv's and not others. Error message 'encountered a problem . . .' click web help which suggests sound card/driver problem (sound is all that works) Files all play fine with Realplayer. Try to download new player 11 to reinstall, says I cannot do that since I am running a newer version. It seems the player or codecs have be corrupted, but MS has this thing so locked in, I cannot find a way to fix it. Running Vista Ultimate, all fixes current, brand new HP Intel dual core desktop. -- Chuck

Media Player 11 corruption?
I want it to work as advertised first, then I can compare it to the
competition to see what I will associate with different formats. Since it is imbedded into Vista, I would like it to work. -- Chuck "Adam Albright" wrote: On Sat, 7 Jul 2007 19:32:01 -0700, CBeyer wrote: Player won't play most content (avi, mpeg, asf are some) - it plays some wmv's and not others.

You maybe missing codecs, an application "Mediainfo" is a missing codec
finder that may assist in identifying if codecs are your problem. It May help!!! -- Regards Bob J "CBeyer" wrote: Player won't play most content (avi, mpeg, asf are some) - it plays some wmv's and not others.

You might need to do an over-install to get this corrected.
Check this link for uninstall - reinstall. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...11/readme.aspx This is for XP however might give you some tips. http://support.microsoft.com/ph/11372 Media Player 11 solutions center http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?=1 http://tinyurl.com/yo69lt Microsoft KB Search "CBeyer" wrote in message ...

Media Player 11 corruption?
Cannot find a way to uninstall in Vista. When I try to over-install by
downloading current version, it tells me I cannot do it because I am running a newer version. MS seems to have really buried the player into Vista. I have the option checked to automatically install codecs. -- Chuck "Spirit" wrote: You might need to do an over-install to get this corrected.

Media Player 11 corruption?
I downloaded & installed the mediainfo application, and it runs fine.
Unfortunately, I do not know what it is telling me? Maybe if I wait until I've had a good nights sleep, it will make more sense. The last failure indicated the audio codec was "MPEG audio decoder" and the video was "MPEG video decoder" - when I go to technical support to list the codecs, those codecs are not listed. When I go to the suggested web site to download, they are also not listed. I feel like Alice in Wonderland. -- Chuck "Bob J" wrote: You maybe missing codecs, an application "Mediainfo" is a missing codec finder that may assist in identifying if codecs are your problem.
