Windows Forum / Windows Media / General Topics / August 2008Error with wmp11 playlist
I love using WMP11 since its release however I'm having a problem with it lately. About 2 days ago, I noticed a new playlist on it with no name, only an icon. I never recalled creating such so I tried deleting it but to no avail. Tried renaming it, can't be renamed. Tried adding songs into that "phantom" playlist but still can't add any. Tried reinstalling after uninstalling it, tried that action about 4 times hoping that playlist would disappear. Cleared the restore point each time to make sure. Even tried going through regedit hoping to catch something different with the WMP11 settings, found none. Question is, can anyone from microsoft or anyone with knowledge or idea help me out? The player still works, plays songs, movies and all however I annoyed with the blank playlist. Please please help me there might be more errors behind this mishap. Here is the picture's link [URL=http://img371.imageshack.us/my.php?image=errorwmpcu3.jpg][IMG]http://img371.imag eshack.us/img371/4020/errorwmpcu3.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] please anyone, someone help me If you right-click on Playlists and choose "Show Playlists" are there any more blank ones or just this one ? You could well be able to right-click on the [blank] playlist icon area there, choose to Show Location (on disk) then browse to that folder in windows explorer and delete the playlist directly - it should eventually disappear from WMP when it notices it's gone.

ReinstallingWMP, using windows restore points, using regedit, editing playlists or looking for a playlist file eslewhere on the PC all dont seem to help with this problem. My 'phantom' playlist with no name, just an icon, appeared after creating a playlist and then renaming it. You cannot delete/rename/move the playlist and there is no corresponding blank playlist file in the playlist folder. It appears to be a bug in displaying the correct number of playlists, eg it wants to show say five playlists but only has data for four. It doesnt appear to be a registry problem or user preference problem more of an internal problem but i dont know how this can come about. Creating or deleting new playlists does not change the problem either. I am stumped on this one. Can anyone help with this please?
