    Windows Media Player not working for videos

    Hi

    The problem is Windows Media Player wont work at all. When I try to play a video clip I get the message: "Browser has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is
    available."

    I tried the fix you suggested involved going into Device Manager, Sound video and game controller then looking for updates for the 2 audio drivers available:

    • ATI HDMI Audio and
    • Realtek High Definition Audio

    but the problem remains.

    However, I can open the video files using Windows Live Movie Maker; picture and sound are ok, though the picture is limited in size.

    dark videos in windows media player

    I get that problem due to the fact that windows media player is using VMR7 for direct show to output videos. I use media player classic and VMR9 to correct this
