Consider the following scenario: You insert a CD or a DVD into the CD or DVD drive on a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer. Windows Media Player then tries to automatically play the CD or the DVD. However, you may receive the following error message:

An internal application error has occurred.

Note If you manually start Windows Media Player and then play the CD or the DVD, Windows Media Player works fine.


CAUSE: This issue may occur if the computer has been upgraded from a version of Windows that included an earlier version of Windows Media Player. In this scenario, a Windows Media Player version conflict occurs. Specifically, the earlier version of Windows Media Player automatically starts and then tries to play the CD or the DVD.

basically what it means is that there is an OLDER v of Winmedia player... in your computer.

HOW TO FIX:

1.Remove the earlier version of Windows Media Player. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
b. Click the earlier version of Windows Media Player, and then click Remove
Then, Reregister the Jscript.dll component. To do this, follow these steps:

a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.

b. At the command prompt, type regsvr32 /u jscript.dll, press ENTER, and then click OK.

c. At the command prompt, type regsvr32 jscript.dll, press ENTER, and then click OK.d. Restart the computer, and then test the issue that is described in the "Symptoms" section. If you still receive the error message, go to step 3.

STEP3:
3.Download and install the latest version of Windows Media Player. To do this, visit the following Microsoft Web site:http://www.microsoft.c om/windows/windowsmedia/download

after i press enter in the command prompt the first time it says "no dll name specified." the second time it says "not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file." i followed your instructions but it still says the same thing. i had already downloaded a newer version as well.

Hi! Anybody tried using Windows Media Player 9 via win32com? (And more precisely, combining that with a Tkinter application.) I found a few earlier threads on Windows Media Player and Python, but it seems nobody has really got it to work, e.g. the below does not work: wmp = win32com.client.Dispatch("MediaPlayer.MediaPlayer.1") wmp.FileName = "C:/Path/To/Some/Media/File.wav"

I have a .avi file that uses the Divx codec. If I load it with windows media player program it works fine. If I load it using my control in a program, it doesn't display. Over standard media files work fine so it's this particular file. Do I have to do anything when the file uses a non-included codec? How can I tell what Codec it's using? TIA - Jeff.

Basically, I want to check if a URL is playable or not (without actually playing it). i.e. given a URL I want to write an automation script to figure it out for me if it's playable or not. If you give a bad/invalid URL for windows media player to play a pop-up window shows us that it cannot be played. So I would want to catch that event.

I'm working on project that plays movies using Windows Media Player and I'm controlling everything with JavaScript. Per the client I only need to support IE 6 or greater which happens to make things a bit easier. What I need to do is create a playlist and play it using JavaScript. I keep on getting close but not close enough to play the dang files. Has anyone done this before and can shed some light on what worked for them?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
