toast1 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Windows media player works fine in my Administrator account, but in another account on my Win10 PC, every time I log in I get the message 'Windows media player cannot play the video because there is aproblem with your video card.' Then I have to close this then reopen MediaPlayer. This is a peculiar thing with this software, which I like. Anyone know how to fix this, as everything I've tried does not work.

johng Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Have you tried using another media player like VLC ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast1 Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Yes but I prefer this, though may have to use VLC Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I suspect you may have "permissions" problems if it works for admin account but not for "normal" account...if you find the mediaplayer.exe file and right click "run as" admin does it work ?

Isaanbiker Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I prefer to use GOM player. Works with all files never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johng Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Where is the mediaplayer.exe file? I can't find it in Win10. thanks Not sure of exact location...but you may have to enable "show hidden and system files" to find it ...also maybe called mplayer.exe or some such ...from my dodgy memory....if you have a desktop icon for media player then right click and select properties...it should tell you the filename and location.

maccra Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" That is where mine is located on my Win10 PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
