Hi,my windows7 wmp12 is corrupted and won't open and play videos at all i want to know is it possible to either roll back orf install wmp11 in its place or install an uncorrupted version of wmp12

dvancavage,

Your problem might be missing codecs. A codec (compressor/decompressor) is used to 'decode' a video or sound. A video practically needs 2 codecs; a video codec and an audio codec.

To resolve your issue, try installing K-Lite Codec Pack Pro. This will ensure you to play all types of videos and music in your computer. Install the program without changing the settings if you don't know how to change them.

Also, I suggest you un-install any other Media Players that you have and leave Windows Media Player 11 (upgrade it to 11; it's free!), QuickTime and iTunes. Set Windows Media Player 11 as your default too so you can automatically play all the files you want with WMP11. http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_li...
K-Lite Codec Pack! Download the latest PRO version/ It's FREE!

Thank You,

Hi, the videos may not play if the Adobe Flash Player in the computer may corrupt or not updated to latest version. Please download and install the latest version of the Mozilla Firefox and then download and install the Adobe Flash Player. Please restart the Mozilla Firefox and visit the Youtube. Now the Videos should be playing.

Please search in google as Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player to get the download link for the Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player.

See whether another converter program can convert the file to verify whether the WMV file is corrupt or not.

I suggest using MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/) to convert the file. MPEG Streamclip is free, but the installation process takes a little more time.

Please try downloading and installing MPEG Streamclip and see whether that has a problem converting the file. If it does, then you know that it's a WMV file corruption issue; otherwise, it's a Cucusoft issue and you'll need to report it to them.

Hi, probably the cd may be corrupted or first u format the previous installed advanced os using that os installation disc and then install xp.because if u r using windows vista or seven it won roll back to previous versions. Another option is you can have two os on two drives

Sounds like you still need to either repair the bad sectors on the HDD with a hdd regenerator if possible or replace that HDD.

The possible cause is the files may be corrupt, but if you could play it before then the issue seems to be with the "codecs", install codecs for the same to play videos successfully (Install Klite codec), you can find it here "http://www.filehippo.com/download_klite_codec_pack/".

Thats an ongoing issue with the WMP11.
I suggest getting software like NERO.
You can also get rid of WMP11 and get an older version.
let me know ASAP.

Hah, figured it out! Had to roll back my version of WMP, which can simply be done by (in XP) going to Start > Control Panel > Add Remove Programs, and then click on WMP11 in the program list. Click remove, and it will ask if you want to roll back to the previous version of Windows. Click yes, and it will roll it back to the previous version of WMP11. Now, assuming you have an active internet connection, after you restart your computer, it will ask if you want to update your WMP. Click yes, and it will re-install the version you started out with, replacing drivers, .dlls, and anything you were missing before hand. Long story short, the solution was patching the holes in the program. I can now plug my Sansa Clip 2GB into the USB port, and WMP will recognize it right away (I can almost hear a small voice from inside my computer saying "would you like tea with that, mr. guy?" hah). I also found out you can have more than one media player connected at the same time! How cool is that? Great if you're trying to set up multiple players with the same playlists (promotional type stuff, business type stuff, etc.).

HI,

Try changing it to 128kbps and let me know.
