Fixing Windows Media Player Errors

Windows Media Player (WMP) is an application which was developed by Microsoft. It is a digital media player with an integrated media library which is used to play audio and video files. It can be downloaded on to computers using the Microsoft Windows Operating System as well as Pocket PCs and Windows mobile devices.

There were originally versions of Windows Media Player released for MAC OS, MAC OS X and Solaris Operating Systems; however, these have since been discontinued.

As well as being a media player, Windows Media Player allows the user to rip music from CDs, copy CDs and DVDs and burn data to storage devices. It also enables the user to synchronize media with a digital audio player such as an MP3 player or other mobile device and allows the user to buy or rent digital music from various online music stores.

Windows Media Player is usually a reliable and stable application but like most other players it will occasionally encounter a problem which will result in an error message being displayed.

The error messages have numerical IDs such as C00D0BC2 or 800704CF. If you encounter an error message you can get more information on it by clicking on the Web Help or More Information options on the error message itself. Below are some the most common error messages.
