My windows media player won't play and it want let me reinstall it

Try reinstalling the software for the dvd player or update the drivers. Also make sure your media player is up to date and you have the latest codec package installed.

Maybe your screen resolution needs to be higher? What type of error message are you getting? Are these dvd's that you were able to play before?

Most computers will have problems playing dvd's that someone made for you on their computer. Try a store purchased dvd and see if it plays.

You can always reinstall windows media player at Microsoft's site below.

You can also try the VLC Player. It comes with drivers and codec. I've seen it solve a lot of issues that Media Player could not fix.

Try using VLC as your player. Go to www.google.com and in the search box type "download vlc" (without the quotes). Look for the Video Lan download from site www.videolan.org/vlc Download and install it. It downloads and installs in 3 minutes or so. It's a very fast player, smooth and it can play just about any type of dvd formats and media. It's totally FREE.

on system start up time press F8 key for no of times.you can see some option from that you can select repair and continue with options given

Hi

Try to download VLC-mediaplayer from:Videolan.org and try with this program. and/or:
i allways use Mediaplayer Classic http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/ this works really well for me
and plays ALL Media. also download and install FFDSHOW: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/ffdshow.htm (this is the codec for media files)

Good Luck

If you can see your desktop on the monitor then its not your Graphics card, but it sounds like that your trying to play videos through Windows media player and the problem is that Windows media player won't play many videos without a codec pack.
So in order to watch videos download this pack
ftp://majorgeeks.mirror.internode.on.net/multimedia/K-Lite_Codec_Pack_760_Basic.exe

Hope it works.

Hi,
You can download/ install Media Player Classic
Download the latest version of Media Player Classic (K-Lite Codec) FOR FREE
It is a small but a very fine Media Player which also installs all the required CODEC and you can play all audio - video files.

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!
