Windows Media Player Server Execution Failed Issue

SoildSnake · 13 Sep 2011 at 15:54

Sometimes when opening files; especially if in quick succession windows stalls and after 10-20 seconds a pop up says "Windows Media Player Server Execution Failed". I have had this issue when using my old hard drives; a raptor and a Samsung F2 and still now; with an agility and a Samsung F4. Any ideas what to do? All drives fully defragged, disk checked. I heard that the service "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" was the cause i disabled via the "services" windows it but it still occurs. It may have something to do with sharing/networks; is there a way to totally disable network sharing etc to remove this issue? Please advise

Combined Community Codec Pack (2011-07-30)

I use this since i never seem to need any other

What other all-in-one codec pack would people recommend since i may try a different one

I have installed K-lite mega codec pack and i have not got the issue; though i only installed a few days ago so by no means a definitive result. Any ideas of what setting/option to change/disable; that has to do with WMP sharing/streaming, since i don't do any of that and i remember hearing this issue was related to that?
