Windows Media Video, or WMV files, is a type of video that can be played on your computer and portable media players. In the past, computer users have been known to have difficulties opening these files due to a flaw in Windows Media Player or the WMV file. These issues have since been resolved with the newer versions of Windows Media Player and other similar media players. WMV files should now open and play with ease.

Begin by downloading the latest version of Windows Media Player (see link in Below). http://www.filewin.net/Windows-Media-Player/download/?p=AU-DNM Windows Media Player is the default player for Windows Media Video files. If you have just purchased a new computer, the computer probably already has the latest version of the program. Right click on the WMV file you want to play. Select "Open With." Several different programs will appear in a small box. Choose "Windows Media Player." Windows Media Player will then open on your computer. Wait for the WMV file to load. When it does, a message may appear in Windows Media Player informing you that the WMV file is missing an extension. Click "Yes" and Windows Media Player will still attempt to load the file. The WMV file should then begin playing in Windows Media Player. Hope this helps.

Hi,

Before connecting the Player to the Computer, Format the Player using the Format utility in the Walkman and then install the Windows Media Player version 11 Software in the Computer. The Format option in the Player is at the INITIALIZE option in the SETTINGS Menu of the Player.

You can also transfer the music to the Player without using the Windows Media Player 11 Software. You can drag and drop the music files to the Removable Drive which appear at the My Computer or Computer window depending upon the Operating System installed. This walkman Player is not compatible with the Windows 7 OS.

You can update Windows Media Player to its latest version from Microsoft website. Windows Media Player comes in-built in all versions of Windows. However, if your Windows Media Player is not updated you can download and install the latest version of media player from Microsoft website. Before downloading, you should check whether your computer satisfies the basic requirements of the new version or not. After updating the older version perform a restart for the changes to take effect.

Here's the link to Windows Media Player 11, If you know your windows is Genuine, the go ahead, but if your windows copy isn't genuine, download this one and follow the instructions shown here, otherwise you'll not be able to reinstall it. Good luck. Thanks for using Fixya.

You might try re-installing Windows Media Player. I thought I had version 10, but I had version 9.

Update the media player or reinstall a new copy.
That is the 1st thing that you should try.

Thanks
