Hi, "ClassFactory cannot supply the requested class" or Error 80040111
generally occurs when you are trying to play an AVI without the correct
codec installed.

Q: Do you get this while trying to play an AVI?
Is so...You most likely don't have the right codec installed for that
specific AVI or you have a bad install of the codec.

- Download and use GSpot (http://tinyurl.com/328cp)
- Find out the 4CC code for the file codec
- http://tinyurl.com/262go will help you.
(Or post the information back here and I can help)

Q: Do you get this while playing a file other than an AVI?
If so...What file format and what version of WMP are you using?

C00D11CD is "Unknown Error". Generally it doesn't have a single solution or
answer. To help us figure the real problem you it would be great if you
could provide some more basic information about the problem. That being
said please read on for some basic troubleshooting help for the error.

If none of the information below helps you will need to provide us with *as
much* information about the problem as you possibly can. - See
http://tinyurl.com/2o4h9

For a few common soltuions to error C00D11CD, please see
http://tinyurl.com/2wpw7

Q: Are you playing an AVI?
If so...You likely don't have the right codec installed for that specific


AVI or you have a bad install of the codec.

-Download and use GSpot (http://tinyurl.com/328cp)


- Find out the 4CC code for the file codec
- http://tinyurl.com/262go will help you.
(Or post the information back here and I can help)

Q: Are you playing an MPEG/MPG file?
If so...Please provide the following information in a reply to this post.
-Does it only happen with a few MPEG/MPG files?
-If so...It's most likely a file encoded with the MPEG-2 codec. To decode
this you will need to install an MPEG-2 decoder. Follow the link to more
information.
http://www.nwlink.com/~zachd/pss/pss.html#mpeg2

Q: Are you trying to burn a CD?
If so...Please see http://tinyurl.com/32zkh. That being said the IMAPI
burner that is included with WMP isn't very good. If the above link doesn't
help goto http://tinyurl.com/2ns8l and, download the free Nero Fast Burn
Plug-in. This plug-in will *not* burn DRM'ed WMA (Those downloaded from pay
sites like Napster, MusicNow, etc.) If you are looking for better software
for burning CD's try Roxio's Easy CD/DVD Creator (Burn's DRM'ed files) or
Nero Burning ROM

Q: I having problems playing and/or burning DRM'ed WMA's. (Ex. Wal-Mart,

If so...Your best bet is to ask either the support provided by the site you
bought them from or contact Microsoft Support. No one who regularly posts
in this newsgroup knows a great deal about troubleshooting DRM'ed files.

Save the file to your hard drive first and *then* try to play it back. When
using a service like Hotmail the media file might want to try and use the
Media Bar in IE6 to play and not allow you to download the file directly.
Disabling the Media bar is a good idea...

To Disable the Media Bar...
Click the Media button (IE Toolbar button). Then click Media Options in the
Media bar. Goto Settings>>Uncheck "Play web media in the bar".

Error's C00D116A and C00D119a while playing DVD's or MPEG-2 content are
directly related to either your current video card drivers or the MPEG-2/DVD

Windows Media Player uses the system's IMAPI CD burner. The burner isn't
what you most would call reliable. There are a few things you can do to
troubleshoot the IMAPI burner, but none are completely guaranteed to work
all of the time.

These tips can be found at http://tinyurl.com/32zkh. This "should" help
with most of the common error's like 8004020E, 80040227, C00D11AB, C00D117E,

burn DRM'ed WMA's. Such as those purchased from sites like Napster,
MusicNow, Wal-Mart, etc.

In my opinion the "best" thing to do is forget about using WMP to burn CD's
until we get a better burner. Nero 6 Ultra Edition is a great program to
burn CD's along with Roxio's Easy CD Creator or Easy Media Creator 7.

Error 80040256 (No audio hardware is available, or the hardware is not
responding) and C00D11BA (Cannot play the file because there is a problem
with your sound device) along with most sound card related problems can be
fixed just reinstalling the drivers for the sound card. NOTE: If you are
having sound problems with *only* MP3's then please see
http://tinyurl.com/yunpf.

Windows Media Player uses DirectSound to interface with the sound card, so
sound very well might work in other applications and just not WMP. More
information and tips can be found at http://tinyurl.com/3455d.

If reinstalling the drivers doesn't fix the problem then the next step you
should try is updating/reinstalling DirectX. DirectX can be downloaded at
http://tinyurl.com/97jw.

If you need help locating where to get the latest drivers for your sound
card try the following. Your Device Manager in Windows "should" supply the
information assume the sound card has been detected. To access the Device
Manager right click on My Computer and select the Device Manager tab. In
Windows XP goto the Hardware Tab and select Device Manager.

If you don't know how to access the Device Manager or it doesn't show your
card, than the easiest thing to do is download a free utility like Belarc
Advisor. Run the installer then it will open a webpage for you. Under
Multimedia it will tell you the sound card or "Audio Controller" you have in
your PC. You may now goto that companies website and download the drivers
and reinstall them.

And if that doesn't help you will need to provide all the information you
can about your system in a reply in the newsgroup. http://tinyurl.com/2o4h9
will help you supply good information to your peer's to help you out.

burn CD's along with Roxio's Easy CD Creator or Easy Media Creator 7.

Error 80040200 or "Unable to download an appropriate decompressor/Error
downloading codec" will generally happen when playing an AVI encoded with a
third party (non-Microsoft) codec. Might doesn't keep these codec's on
there server's for WMP to download for you, so you have to go download and
install it.

So, for AVI's...
- Open mplayer2.exe (WMP 6.4) and try and play the file
OR/AND


- Download and use GSpot (http://tinyurl.com/328cp)

- Find out the 4CC code for the file codec (WMP 6.4 should give it to you
[XXXX]


- http://tinyurl.com/262go will help you.
(Or post the information back here and I can help)

This can also happen for other file types also. If you get it while trying
to view a Windows Media file, (WMV, WMA, Etc) it is likely you don't have
WMP set to download the codec's for you. To enable this feature goto
Tools>>Options>>Check "Download Codec's Automatically"

If you get it for an MPEG/MPG file it is very likely the MPEG/MPG is encoded
with MPEG-2 as opposed to MPEG-1. MPEG-2 isn't a free codec, so you will
need to purchase and MPEG-2/DVD decoder to view that media. (SVCD's are also
MPEG-2) http://tinyurl.com/2njf6 cover's decoder's and the licensing behind
them.

Error C00D10B3 or C00D10B5 means that Windows Media Player isn't "seeing"
your internet connection. It doesn't mean you are not connected, rather it
is just not being told you are not connected. This can be caused by two
things most of the time...

(1) A firewall blocking the traffic or (2) A configuration problem within
WMP.
**Both of these are address at http://tinyurl.com/l8ka.

If the site doesn't help you fix it the best option is to ask actually
Product Support. Especially if you are running Windows 9x (i.e Win98,
WinME, Etc)

"Class Not Registered" or Error 80040154 can have a few different solutions
depending on what are you doing in WMP at the time you get it.

Q: Do you get this while trying to play an AVI?
Is so...You most likely don't have the right codec installed for that


specific AVI or you have a bad install of the codec.

Using a DirecShow decoding filter such as FFDShow will decrease the problems
you could run into with codec problems. FFDshow will decode XviD, DivX
3/4/5, 3IVX, and has support for many other codec's. It can be downloaded
at http://tinyurl.com/2snnx. (Download ffdshow-20020617.exe and then run
it's installer)

If you just wish to install the individual codec's for your specific video
or FFDShow doesnt support the codec for you file please do the following.


- Download and use GSpot (http://tinyurl.com/328cp)

- Run the installer, open GSpot, goto File>>Open.
- Look for the 4CC code for the file's Video Codec


- http://tinyurl.com/262go will help you.

Save the file to your hard drive first and *then* try to play it back. When
using a service like Hotmail the media file might want to try and use the
Media Bar in IE6 to play and not allow you to download the file directly.
Disabling the Media bar is a good idea...

To Disable the Media Bar...
Click the Media button (IE Toolbar button). Then click Media Options in the
Media bar. Goto Settings>>Uncheck "Play web media in the bar".

Windows Media Player uses the system's IMAPI CD burner. The burner isn't
what you most would call reliable. There are a few things you can do to
troubleshoot the IMAPI burner, but none are completely guaranteed to work
all of the time.

These tips can be found at http://tinyurl.com/32zkh. This "should" help
with most of the common error's like 8004020E, 80040227, C00D11AB, C00D117E,
C00D11C9, Etc, Etc.

If the site doesn't help fix the problem then the next thing to try is to
download and install the free Nero Fast Burn Plug-In. (Here:
http://tinyurl.com/2ns8l) This should work, the only problem is it will not
burn DRM'ed WMA's. Such as those purchased from sites like Napster,
MusicNow, Wal-Mart, etc.

In my opinion the "best" thing to do is forget about using WMP to burn CD's
until we get a better burner. Nero 6 Ultra Edition is a great program to
burn CD's along with Roxio's Easy CD Creator or Easy Media Creator 7.

"Class Not Registered" or Error 80040154 can have a few different solutions
depending on what are you doing in WMP at the time you get it.

Q: Do you get this while trying to play an AVI?


Is so...You most likely don't have the right codec installed for that
specific AVI or you have a bad install of the codec.

Using a DirectShow decoding filter such as FFDShow will decrease the


problems you could run into with codec problems. FFDshow will decode XviD,
DivX 3/4/5, 3IVX, and has support for many other codec's. It can be
downloaded at http://tinyurl.com/2snnx. (Download ffdshow-20020617.exe and
then run it's installer)

If you just wish to install the individual codec's for your specific video
or FFDShow doesnt support the codec for you file please do the following.

- Download and use GSpot (http://tinyurl.com/328cp)

- Run the installer, open GSpot, goto File>>Open.

- Look for the 4CC code for the file's Video Codec


- http://tinyurl.com/262go will help you.
(Or post the information back here and I can help)

Q: Are you playing an MPEG/MPG file?
If so...Please provide the following information in a reply to this post.
-Does it only happen with a few MPEG/MPG files?
-If so...It's most likely a file encoded with the MPEG-2 codec. To decode
this you will need to install an MPEG-2 decoder. Follow the link to more
information.

Q: Do you get this while playing a file other than an AVI or MPEG?


If so... http://tinyurl.com/yu649 will help you out.

Error C00D10B3 or C00D10B5 means that Windows Media Player isn't "seeing"
your internet connection. It doesn't mean you are not connected, rather it
is just not being told you are not connected. This can be caused by two
things most of the time...

(1) A firewall blocking the traffic or (2) A configuration problem within
WMP.
**Both of these are address at http://tinyurl.com/l8ka.

We have yet to seen any good information for this error code. So if you
want to help figure out what the problem is and how to fix it you will need
to provide the following information.
1) Your Operating System (OS)
2) Your exact version of WMP (Help>>About Windows Media Player)
3) An exact link to the content you are trying to access.
4) What your network configuration looks like in WMP
(Tools>>Options>>Network)

Error 8000FFFF or "Catastrophic Failure" while trying to copy a CD to the
hard drive might be caused by two different known things. The first thing
it might be the is a corrupt library. If WMP thinks it's library database
is corrupt it will not add any files to it. Rebuilding your library using
the steps at http://tinyurl.com/2xfz is a good idea.

After that if it doesn't work you may have had a file that needs to be
re-registered within Windows. To do this goto Start>>Run>>Type "regsvr32
wmadmoe.dll" (No Quotes) and then press Enter. See if that works.

If not, the next suggested thing to try is to run the System File Checker in
Windows. To do this goto Start>>Run>>Type "sfc /scannow" (No Quotes) and
then press Enter. You will need your Windows CD-ROM for this. If you have
a machine from HP, Compaq, Dell, Etc you might have a folder on your PC
named i386. This is most likely located in C:\ or D:\. This contains the
needed files and you will want to point SFC to that folder.

If that still doesn't work you might try reinstalling WMP over itself.
Don't try to uninstall it first, just run the installer again. Depending on
how WMP was installed on your machine you may already have the installer.
If you do it is located in C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\Installer.

If you don't see the folder you will need to re-download the installer. It
can be found at http://tinyurl.com/2qja5.

And if you don't get the error while trying to rip from a CD you might want
to allude to the problem in your post.

You didnt include the file type, but Error 80040200 or "Unable to download
an appropriate decompressor/Error downloading codec" will generally happen
when playing an AVI encoded with a third party (non-Microsoft) codec. Might
doesn't keep these codec's on there server's for WMP to download for you, so
you have to go download and install it.

So, for AVI's...
A DirectShow decoding filter such as FFDShow will decrease the problems you


could run into with codec problems. FFDshow will decode XviD, DivX 3/4/5,
3IVX, and has support for many other codec's. It can be downloaded at
http://tinyurl.com/2snnx. (Download ffdshow-20020617.exe and then run it's
installer)

If you just wish to install the individual codec's for your specific video
or FFDShow doesnt support the codec for you file please do the following.
- Download and use GSpot (http://tinyurl.com/328cp)
- Run the installer, open GSpot, goto File>>Open.
- Look for the 4CC code for the file's Video Codec
- http://tinyurl.com/262go will help you.
(Or post the information back here and I can help)

This can also happen for other file types also. If you get it while trying
to view a Windows Media file, (WMV, WMA, Etc) it is likely you don't have
WMP set to download the codec's for you. To enable this feature goto
Tools>>Options>>Check "Download Codec's Automatically" Or with Windows
NT/95 download the codec from http://www.nwlink.com/~zachd/pss/pss.html#wmv

If you get it for an MPEG/MPG file it is very likely the MPEG/MPG is encoded
with MPEG-2 as opposed to MPEG-1. MPEG-2 isn't a free codec, so you will
need to purchase and MPEG-2/DVD decoder to view that media. (SVCD's are also
MPEG-2) http://tinyurl.com/2njf6 cover's decoder's and the licensing behind
them.

AVI or you have a bad install of the codec.

Using a DirectShow decoding filter such as FFDShow will decrease the
problems you could run into with codec problems. FFDshow will decode XviD,
DivX 3/4/5, 3IVX, and has support for many other codec's. It can be
downloaded at http://tinyurl.com/2snnx. (Download ffdshow-20020617.exe and
then run it's installer)

If you have the correct codec installed and the video still doesnt play


download GSpot and run your AVI though the program. If Gspot says "Failed
to render", "Missing Chuck", etc. then your video file is corrupt.

If you just wish to install the individual codec's for your specific video
or FFDShow doesnt support the codec for you file please do the following.


- Download and use GSpot (http://tinyurl.com/328cp)
- Run the installer, open GSpot, goto File>>Open.
- Look for the 4CC code for the file's Video Codec
- http://tinyurl.com/262go will help you.
(Or post the information back here and I can help)
-If you don't get audio, what codec does it use? GSpot also tells you this.

Q: Are you playing any type of content directly from a web link? (Streaming


audio, video, radio, etc)
If so...You must provide the exact link to what you are trying to access.
The homepage isn't important, but an exact link to the content is.

Q: Are you playing an MPEG/MPG file?


If so...Please provide the following information in a reply to this post.
-Does it only happen with a few MPEG/MPG files?
-If so...It's most likely a file encoded with the MPEG-2 codec. To decode
this you will need to install an MPEG-2 decoder. Follow the link to more
information.
http://www.nwlink.com/~zachd/pss/pss.html#mpeg2
-If not...Can you provide a link or more information about the file?

Q: Are you trying to burn a CD?


If so...Please see http://tinyurl.com/32zkh. That being said the IMAPI
burner that is included with WMP isn't very good. If the above link doesn't
help goto http://tinyurl.com/u8p3 and, download the free Nero Fast Burn
Plug-in. This plug-in will *not* burn DRM-enabled WMA's (Those downloaded
from pay sites like Napster, MusicNow, etc.) If you are looking for better
software for burning CD's try Roxio's Easy CD/DVD Creator or Nero Burning
ROM.

Q: I having problems playing and/or burning DRM-enabled WMA's. (Ex.
Wal-Mart, Napster, MusicNow)
If so...Your best bet is to ask either the support provided by the site you
bought them from or contact Microsoft Support. No one who regularly posts
in this newsgroup knows a great deal about troubleshooting DRM-enabled
files.

"ClassFactory cannot supply the requested class" or Error 80040111 generally
occurs when you are trying to play an AVI without the correct codec

C00D11CD is "Unknown Error". Generally it doesn't have a single solution or

Error 8007007E or "Module not found" means something in the playback
chain isn't fully installed. It is most likely not WMP, but something like
a sound card driver. http://tinyurl.com/2o4h9 may help narrow it down a
bit.

Top solutions in the past have been
1) Updating DirectX
2) Sound card driver updates
3) Video card driver updates
4) Updating third party codec's

Error C00D0032 or "The server received invalid data from the client on the
control connection" doesn't have a single solution because the users have
not presented one yet. :\ In a few cases un-checking UDP in the Network
options of WMP helped to fix this.

In most cases a partial information about the issue has been provided, so
it's hard to try and help. Please answer the following...

--What's the _exact_ link to what you are trying to access?
--Does it occur with any and all web content?
--Does it play in mplayer2.exe? (Start>>Run>>Type "mplayer2.exe') - No
Quotes
--What _exact_ version of WMP and what OS do you have?
--Are you running a Firewall?
--Who is your ISP? Dial-up or High Speed?
--If you have another PC in your house or place of business of the same
occur?

Remember, this is a peer support group meaning the users (Like me I do _not_
work for MS) provide support to each other. If an answer isn't presented
here ask Product Support. Microsoft can't fix things when you guys leave
them in the dark about an issue. :| So in order for a solution or fix it's
up to you to help your peers find one. Newsgroup postings don't count when
trying to present an issue to MS, you have to call them. I know, it sucks,
but that's the way it is.

According to "The Other Chris" this can't be fixed by saving the file to
your hard drive first, it will involve you having the file re-sent to you
using the following instructions. - http://tinyurl.com/39lsk.

As the instructions will not work or even apply to everyone, the following
might also help.

Save the file to your hard drive first and *then* try to play it back. When
using a service like Hotmail the media file might want to try and use the
Media Bar in IE6 to play and not allow you to download the file directly.
Disabling the Media bar is a good idea...

To Disable the Media Bar...
Click the Media button (IE Toolbar button). Then click Media Options in the
Media bar. Goto Settings>>Uncheck "Play web media in the bar".

You may read more about the error at http://tinyurl.com/ytk39.

**If you have an attachment that is not too personal and none of the above
has helped I would love it if you could forward it to me. Put "800c0008" in
the subject line and include the forwarded message with the attachment.
