I installed the program Sun High MediaPlayer but it didn't work. So, I then tried to remove the software without success.
Now my windows media player doesn't want to launch. So, I tried to install the core player but it doesn't launch either. Worse it froze my device and I have to soft reset!
Then, I downloaded a cab file (SJ WMP_10) on xda to reinstall wmp ... but I get the message that it doesn't have the authorization to install and then the device froze and I have to soft reset! Ouch!
Can somebody help me:
1) to recover my wmp?
2) recommend a player for mp4 files
thanks a lot and happy new year!
it looks to me like that Sun Player has damaged some of the windows media library... if you havn't got much on your hd, maybe hard reseting will be faster than trying to find a solution?
Hard reset was indeed the solution. Thanks.

Hi I recently installed Pocket DIVX player. Didn't like it so uninstalled it. Now Windows media Player 10 wont play my videos I recorded using XDA video recorder or mp3's unless I go through the Media Player library. When I try and play through file explorer I get the message "xxxx....cannot be opened Either it has not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file" This means I cannot have mp3 ringtones or play videos/music using file explore. Can anybody help?
anyone out there who can help?
hard reset, one of the problems of installing dodgy software...
try reinstalling the original application, then have all the default settings and file extension associations reassigned back to WMP10, then uninstall.
can try using tcpmp if that may provide an alternative.
never be afraid to hard reset, it only takes a while the first few times, and you get into a routine for it....
Maybe it's just a problem with file association? Not sure. Probably search the registry to see what program opens the MP3 and change it back to WM10
I'm probably wrong, but give it a shot
At the moment there is no programme associated with opening mp3's or the avi videos. Excuse my naivety but how do I do a hard reset? And what did you mean be re-install original application? Do you mean the Pocket Divx programme again? Thanks for your help by the way!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I search the registry?
To hard reset, select CLEAR STORAGE in the programs folder and then enter 1234. This will erase EVERYTHING saved on the phone and will return it to how it was when you first bught it, i think.
Regarding registry, use a registry editor. I use the one of Resco which comes with Resco File Explorer. There is a free one called TRE just look for it thru google.
Don't re-intall the Divx player, maybe re-install alll the other programs you installed in the first place when you bought it
Ok cheers I think the reset will be a last resort. All the programmes like WMP10 were pre installed on the phone so I dont have the disc and you can't seem to download WMP10 4pocket pc on the net. I think it's a case of trying to associate mp3's avi's etc with WMP10 as it seems to play wmv files no problem but I've tried everything to no avail What I can't understand is why mp3's and avi's can play on WMP10 by using the library and not through file explorer :? Once again thanks for your suggestions
the library and application itself understands that it can run the mp3 etc
however windows not wmp10 has associated the file extension ".mp3" to another application which no longer exists.
I have attached my file association for mp3 and avi from my registry. import it if you understand and acknowledge the risks with registry editing and I accept no responsibility AT ALL.
Hi mate. Thanks for your help. You were correct, in the registry mp3 and avi are were assigned to Pocket Divx I imported your 2registry edits using the registry editor TRE and avi and mp3 appear to be assigned to WMP but still no luck in playing them through file explorer. Any ideas on what to do next.
After a bit of browsing I've installed The Core Pocket Media Player (TCPMP) which seems to play everything no problem and has an option to associate files rather than force it upon you like Divx did. Thanks for all your help but i've given up on WMP10 if you come up with an answer to my problem please feel free to let me know
under hkey local machine there are settings for wmplayer default extensions, perhaps this has also been changed. I have these attached for you to compare.
I also found more under multimedia extensions for microsoft which could also have been changed. the only other location where references mp3 came up related to arcsoft multimedia, so after this you should also test this area to ensure that mms hasn't been changed.
see how you go, but you may never be able to fully undo the effects of dodgy software and incorrect installations.
let me know if you need further keys. note, I also use tcpmp for my videos due to full screen and have allowed this to superscede some of my own wmp10 settings.
cheers
I think we were writing simultaneously so thought I would write again to see if you are interested in trying the above.
if you associated them to tcpmp, you may need to run the previous edits again to reassociate.
your call leave it with you
I will give it a try but tcpmp seems pretty good so far so I may leave it but thanks for your help mate!
guys i think i might be in deep ****. i installed a software called pocketdivx on my exec. when i tried to play any avi or divx files i got an error like 'wave audio error'. i tried uninstalling it but it could not be removed completely. now the situation is that i m stuck with it...my media player wont play any mp3 files since they are now attached to the pocketdivx. plz help....
You can either try to fix the assosiations in media player, its in the options some where,
or, you could do a hard rest. this will remove all the data and any programs you have installed, so make sure you have a recent sync and a backup.
Hi,
Everything was working fine, but now, for some reason, the media panel won't play any music, it ust seems to be stuck on paused. The panel is still responsive and I can view pictures and contacts etc, it's just that the 'play' button doesn't work
Anyone else had this problem, or know what's causing it?
Also slightly less importantly, my Storage Card doesn't show in WMP (works fine in File Explorer though) - what have I missed haha
did you try to soft reset?
i had that on my tytnII i couldnt accces sd i put the sd in the pc it saw it and then i put the sd back in the phone it worked. maybe you could givi it a try
Yup, done all the soft-resets and reinsertions of memory cards that I can be bothered with haha.
Really rather not have to hard reset, just got it set up etc, who know's what'll cause it to do it again!!
There is a thread here or over at xperia1.net that explains it, but this issue is only if you've installed the Youtube cab from Manilla (as it changes the way it plays stufff).
So, if you've installed the Manilla Youtube cab, there is a fix out there somewhere (you need to basically edit the registry), but don't ask me where Been a few weeks sience I searched for it.
Your problem with non playing video seems similar to the one I had, please read below.
Possible problems with Pubba panel instaler V2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Norti,
Iv just done a hard reset back to default on my stock rom, but when I install Pubba panel installer v2, media files no longer play in Sony Media player or Windows media player, The James Bond stock video and other music files do not play.
Iv tried to eliminate all other causes by doing hard resets and testing each program, Touch 3D is great, but the panel installer seems to corrupt the media files and or there file association.
It seems media files in system ram prior to installing panel installer are not recognised and are treated as being corrupted.
If you have a cooked rom or you deleted all your stock rom video early on then you may have not noticed this error.
Please have a look at the panel installer as the ability to listen to music or listen to the radio while browsing is a very useful function.

Hi,
For no reason, suddenly my HD can't play music using the HTC music player. i realise that i can't start my windows media player also. What should i do? pls dun tell me to hard reset.
Thanks
Hi,
Any can help?
try to check your sd-card. e. g. put it into your computer and do a scandisk over it.
when those multimedia applications start they try to load your playlist which is mostly on your sd-card. if it is corrupted the midiaplayer might not start.
if this is your problem take a look in the rom section. there´s a thread in the discussing the point "sd-card not shown"
Hi,
My SD card should be okay cos i can use core player to play those songs. is there any other possiblity?
Thanks
Hi,
I tried removing my sd card still can't start up my windows media. is there a way to reinstall windows media without hard reset??
I have the same problem.
I asked vodafone if they had a solution and the only answer I got was that I could send it for repairs but it would cost me between 60-90 euro...
Hi everyone!
How to repairing Windows media player on my Acer Neo Touch S200?
It does't work infact the ring tone did not ringing too.
Should I install the WMP again and where can I download it?
I do not reset my phone as far as possible.
Thank you.
I came across the same problem for times.
For my solution is to reset the whole system.
To avoid the progress of re-installing the apps,
I will backup the whole system after all apps are installed.
