Windows 7 beta: Media player hangs
Playing around with Windows 7 beta, I had trouble with the Media Player. The player seems to hang. That is, the library was not shown and the “hour glass” was displayed when I was moving the mouse pointer over the media player. And I was not able to end the Media Player process in the Task Manager.
After some digging, I found the solution to fix the trouble with the media player. That is, it worked for me.
In the control panel, there is a entry for find and fix problems:
Selecting this functionality, takes you to the troubleshoot tool. There you have to select “view all”.
In the next window you be able to “troubleshoot” the “Windows Media Player Library” and the “Windows Media Player Settings” by clicking it.
After this troubleshooting the media player works fine again.
