Fix WMP - Eliminate C00D1199 Errors
by: Anonymous

I had the same problem. I could not open any files in WMP and received the dreaded error code. I found this fix in the Microsoft Error Messages in Windows Media Player section of their website. My specific fix happened when I followed the proxy server setting instructions below. It was a very simple fix.



Why do I receive "Cannot play the file" (C00D11C0)?
You may receive this error message for any of the following reasons:

• Your computer is not connected to the local area network (LAN) or Internet. Connect to the network or Internet, and then try again.

• The path to the file is not valid. If you typed a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address in the Open URL dialog box, verify that the file name is spelled correctly and the path to the file is correct, and then try again. If you clicked a link on a Web page, the link might not be valid.

• The server that hosts the content that you are trying to play is not online or is busy. Try again later.

• Some network protocols in Windows Media Player are not enabled. Enable all network protocols, and then try again.

To enable all network protocols

1.
In Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

2.
On the Network tab, in the Streaming protocols area, select all the protocol check boxes.


• The proxy server settings for the Player are not configured properly. Verify that your proxy settings are correct, and then try again.

To configure your proxy server settings

1.
In Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

2.
On the Network tab, in the Streaming proxy settings area, do all of the following:

• Click MMS, click Configure, and then select Autodetect proxy settings.

• Click RTSP, click Configure, and then select Autodetect proxy settings.

• Click HTTP, click Configure, and then select Use proxy settings of the Web browser.




Note
If you are connected to the Internet through a dial-up connection, you might not be able to choose the proxy server. For more information, consult your Internet service provider or network administrator.
