When trying to discover the resources WPG takes to play a video, to compare it to wmp11 (because wmp11 just doesn't run videos at all well on my machine (where I use DreamScene instead to play virtually all video files) I noticed it isn't actually listed in taskman, and that instead it is part of explorer.exe
Hello guys, I am experiencing a bad problem with wmp 11 and IE7. the embeded WMP that appears in Internet Explorer 7 used to watch streaming media for vista home premium has dissapeared. in place of it, there is just a black box with a small red X...
Again this isn't to make a slideshow.. instead if you have a second display and want to work on the primary display but have WPG open on a secondary.
I need some desktop Icons, I tred looking for a good wmp one but they all suck plus I'm lazy enough not to be able to create icons.
I was hoping someone had a copy of the WMP11 play button as an icon. Seriously what were microsoft playing at? The original wmp icon for vista sucks arse, it blows my mind why they didn't use the play button as an icon aswell.
Also I need to know how I can more then one dock on my desktop, is it possible?
Seeing how hard it is to find themes for Vista, I decided to make this Topic. After searching around for quite some time, I have found some good Themes, and some bad ones.
First of all, you need to patch your UXtheme.dll if you haven't already. You can find that here, instructions are included.
When you download the theme, extract the files into C:\Windows\Resources\Themes. Right click on the desktop and go to Personalise, click on Window Colour and Appearance, then click Open classic appearance properties for more colour options. You will see that Windows Aero and Windows Vista Basic have been duplicated. Don't worry, they are the new themes. Click on them and you can change the theme as you wish.
Hi,
i have had windows vista for about a week now and have had nothing but problems with it!!
No programs are compatible, you get asked if "You're sure" you want to do something every 5 seconds and now finally, the only thing that was working has suddenly just stopped. I watched a standard .avi video this morning and now this afternoon it won't play the video or any other media for that matter.
VISTA IS A JOKE!!! £369 for the ultimate edition and not even the basic programs work. If it hadn't worked from the beginning it wouldn't have been so bad but for it to just stop working for no reason is pathetic, just like the rest of this OS. But at least it looks nice... Money well spent!!!
WMP11 on my windows Vista Ultimate has corrupted. It plays media file but i am unable to play windows media on internet explorer.
I've read about similar problems with WMP11 in Vista, and I've seen NO conclusive answers on how to fix them! I have to preface this question by saying that WMP11 works 100% FINE in XP (I have a dual-boot setup on my PC, and I can choose whether to...
So my music skips about 20 secs before a song ends as it prepares to load the next song. Anyone else having this problem, and if so, have you fixed it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Courtesy of my company, I will soon be getting Windows Vista Enterprise to play around with. However, I notice there are things missing from Enterprise like WMP11, Xbox 360 Media Center Extender compatibility...
