Windows Forum / Windows Media / Player / March 2008Windows Media Player 11 won't open
When I click on a video file, WMP will not open, and I don't understand why. It's not because the video files are corrupt because I was able to open them in Winamp. What could the problem be? I am having the same issue! I also tried to open windows media center and it also wont open! What's going on?? > When I click on a video file, WMP will not open, and I don't understand why. > It's not because the video files are corrupt because I was able to open them > in Winamp. What could the problem be? Windows Media Center opens for me. I just can't open Windows Media Player, or URGE. What is the purpose of Windows Media Center anyway? > I am having the same issue!

What could the problem be? Could you clarify any further details... ? Is this XP or Vista? http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#isolate If you open Task Manager, is "wmplayer.exe" listed in the Processes tab?  SignatureSpeaking for myself only.

What could the problem be? This is with Vista. I "ususally" must shut down computer and restart to get WMP to open. I believe the problem is also tied in to my not being able to play songs I would have purchased and had verified. The problem did not occur when the computer was purchased back in February. > Could you clarify any further details... ?

It actually IS running but when I click either the shortcut on desktop or go to the start menu, NG. I didn't this time but I'm sure if I close down and immediatly try to open WMP it WILL open. I do not have any other devices on the computer other then speakers etc. Thanks for your help, Kevin > If you open Task Manager, is "wmplayer.exe" listed in the Processes tab? > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > >> > them > >> > in Winamp.

What could the problem be? No it will not. It will not show up when I go to the start menu as well. I am also unable to open email pics or videos so I have to save them to a temp file. To get it to open I must shut down and then upon opening immediatly click on the icon and then it will open. Yes, I know very strange. Please remember that this was not a problem at first so I don't know if it was a update or something I may have changed which I normally leave well enough alone. I notice from the posts that I am not alone so I was hoping for Microsoft to realize a problem and send out a fix. WMP11 seems to be very problematic. Thank you for your interest and continued concern. Kevin > If you click on the shortcut to WMP, does it then show up? > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > >> >> > them > >> >> > in Winamp. What could the problem be? Update; Since I have not tried WMP 11 in awhile after I posted this I shut down and found it now does not work even after shutting down. Very quirky. The computer is less then a year old but I have held off contacting HP for help as provided after reading some posts and their lack of success and considerable waste of time invested. It will cost but will contacting Microsoft help be wise? It would be nice to be able to use again. > No it will not. It will not show up when I go to the start menu as well.

OK, so you go to Task Manager, go to Processes, choose End Task on "wmplayer.exe", and then click the shortcut to WMP: what happens then? Nothing? It just pops back in the Processes tab but no player UI shows up? Does http://zachd.com/pss/v7multi.html show the player? SignatureSpeaking for myself only.
