Before we get into details, allow me to explain a bit about how your windows is organized so that you’ll know why these irritating troubles pop up in the first place. The large part of these runtime errors occur because your registry system is corrupted or damaged – this is the place where windows tracks what happens on your pc, so each time you perform a software or hardware installation, uninstallation, or update, your windows application ‘registers’ what you’ve done.

This tracking process includes all sorts of information; these include the various links which are necessary to let windows know where the files that operate your software and hardware applications are to be found. An incomplete software installation or its improper removal in some cases might cause non-functioning links in your registry system, in simple words, windows can’t operate that software or part of it, which can sometimes result in your getting a Windows Media Player runtime error and many other problems such as blue screens, freeze ups, slow performance and more. These kind of problems can be easily fixed if you are a professional and you are comfortable “playing” with your windows registry, if that’s not the case, then you had better not try it – even more problems can pop up!

It turns out that there is a quick and reliable technique to solve a Windows Media Player runtime error even in the case that you are a novice with computers – a professional registry fix software is your answer. This is a simple and efficient way of locating problem spots on your personal computer and taking care to remedy them in a very short period of time. Because the majority of these programs offer scans and fixes at no charge, it would be smart to install one of these software solutions and let it do its job and get rid of those errors.

Back to FLV video format, it is very popular video format over the internet nowadays. How to make Windows Media Player play FLV freely? I will provide three solutions for this question.  

1. Deal with it using the codec.  

 

Download a suitable codec for the specific video formats. instead of just randomly downloading codecs with the hope that one of them works, I’d recommend downloading a codec tool that will analyze your particular video file and tell you exactly what codec(s) you’ll need to play the files. Here is a free tool that will do this for you: Gspot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/). This will tell you what codecs you need to get the particular file running properly, without making you download anything that you don’t need. A lot of times codecs can conflict with one another, and overloading your system with a whole them is never a good idea, and having multiple amounts of them on your system can sometimes cause more harm than good.  

2. Convert FLV to other video format.  

 

Use Moyea FLV to Video Converter Pro 2 to convert FLV to WMV, FLV to AVI, FLV to MOV, FLV to MP4, etc. which are acceptable by Windows Media Player. With this way, you can freely watch FLV video content in Windows Media Player. The program I recommended has the batch processing function. It will easily convert lots of FLV files to Windows Media Player.

 

Simple steps to convert FLV to WMV:  

Install and run the software as well as importing FLV.  

Click “Add FLV” button to input FLV and you will see the following interface:

a. Clip: Trim and crop the video.
