[hdotjaza]

Hello everyone

I have a problem with Windows Media Player and it's this: When I want to open a new media file by WMP, the system hang completely in a way that every things lock even mouse or the clock of system, completely every things and also it takes no process.

(My WMP is completely update)

Thanks

Is this a new problem or does it always happen?

Yeah, it appears to be new. I didn't have this problem since two days ago.

Have you installed anything since then or applied any sort of patch?

Of course I installed so many apps link FireFox, FDM, Babylon, Messenger, VS and ... But no patch.

Is it possible to do a system restore to a time when it was working and the install your apps again and check WMP after each install to see if it has been affected?

I think you will need to this as a process of elimination to find the cause of the problem.

 

[hdotjaza]

No because if I want to restore my system and reinstall my apps again, it nearly takes half of a day. So I prefer to find another solution and not an omitting one.
Thanks by the way

Have you got x64 or x86 Windows 7?

 

[hdotjaza]

x86

You could try a scan of the system files to make none are corrupt by Opening command prompt as administrator and type sfc /scannow and after it's finished restart and see if it makes a difference.

I have a same problem with WMP after I install PowerIso 4.0 (Windows7 7000 X64) . PowrIso4.0 works but very slow, WMP too. I think Windows7 don't like virtual drive at all

 

[aeriolewinters]

What is your graphics card, may I ask?

 

[vakhocapr]

Graphic card is MSI RX2600XT-T2D512EZ/D3. Before I install PowerIso 4.0 Windows worked without any problems with ATI 9.1 graphic driver. Before 9.1 driver I used Windows7 graphic driver and all worked great(without Acrobat). I think, if I will uninstall PowerIso 4.0 all will works good but virtual drive is needed.

there was an update to WMP that just came through windows update.

it addresses crashes but there's not enough info to confirm if it will fix your problem.

Thanks os7 but it does not work. Woks only one thing, "disable drive". After disabling all is right.
