There seems to be lots of problems with WMP11 and Microsoft isn't very eager
to take its responsibility by fixing the problems soon.
So, here is THE solution: replace WMP11 by RealPlayer 10.5 from
realplayer.com.  During install of realplayer make sure you make it your

OS:                  Windows Media Center 2005
Programs:         Windows Media Center 2005 and Windows Media Player 11.
I am trying to enable options or find a plug-in to better control video
playback in Windows Media Center 2005 and Windows Media Player 11.  Both

I was wondering if its possible to change the wmp 11 start up so it launches
in the "Now Playing" tab as oppose to the "Library" tab.
Thanks

I own a HP iPAQ h1910 PDA that is running Windows Media Player 8 for Pocket
PC , Version 8.0 Build 0096.  On my home computer I have Windows Media Player
11 Version 11.0.5721.5145.  WMP 11 is not compatible with WMP8 for Pocket PC

Hopefully this is the best place to post this question.
I have a video file called 11 Finger joints_bb.wmv#0;1.000;0;0;1:2;2:2
and it is of type DAT. If I double click this file in the TIF folder,
an Internet Explorer warning pops up, I click Yes, and then Windows

What is the point in having the news available to you if you can`t have it
play on the MediaPlayer?  No matter what I tried, it won`t work.  Next day
help will probably be too late, since this was a local coverage only about
shopping after Christmas.  My son was on there (best ...

I have an MP3 library with over 62,000 MP3's all properly tagged ID3v2.  All
my files play in Musicmatch, Jriver Media Center, Albumplayer, etc.  However,
over 2000 files are not recognized by WMP11.  They show up as unknown with
just the file name.  Even after using the advanced ...

I am trying to play some AVI files that my family sent me in Windows
Media Player 10, but none of them work properly - no image, only sound.
They were working fine on WMP 9 before.  Could anyone help?
(On WMP 10, I got "error downloading codec" message on the status bar.)

library?
When I finish synching I like to confirm that both lists have the same
number of files.

Greetings All,
I ripped bunches of music to WMA format in WMP 10 way back.  I recently
upgraded to WMP 11, and had some trouble w/my mp3 player (a Dell DJ gen

Gurus,
What's your favorite feature of Windows Media Player 11 not found in earlier
versions?  Just taking an informal poll.

Had no problem till I upgraded to 11. Soon as I upgraded half my videos
stopped showing video. Tried to roll back to 10, the other half quit working.
Now NONE of my videos will show any video. Which is EXTREEMLY frustrating
when I have relatives in from across the US for the ...

With media player 10 I could set the opyions to automatically que up songs
when I double clicked on them, but i can't seem to find how to do this with
media player 11. Any suggestions?

This is a recent problem. If I'm playing a music file or a movie file and I
directly close Media Player, I still hear the music or movie playing.
What I have to do is press "stop" then close Media Player.
Any advice on how I can fix this?

Going to try here before an OS reinstall.
Not long had XP Pro reinstalled cleanly.  Hadn't tried WMP until yesterday
after reinstall.  Had WMP 7 installed, imported music files via scan OK,
but, trying to play them in a list resulted in files turning red and not
