Windows Media Player Error Codes

Windows Media Player is a very good piece of media software, but like all good things it does also have bugs which create those errors codes you will have seen.

Error messages are identified by numerical IDs, such as C00D0BC2 and 800704CF. The ID can give you a clue about which program or component generated the error. For example, an ID that starts with "C00D" is an error message generated by Windows Media Player. An ID that starts with "8004" or "8007" is generated by another operating system component that Windows Media Player relies on, such as a networking or CD burning component.

The errors can be caused by a simple thing such as the media player not being able to find the file you are looking for, or it could be a more serious problem with the software. Either way, if you are having multiple problems with wmv error codes consistently coming up then use this tool to scan your machine of errors and to delete them.
