What is an Error Message

What is an error message, enough of them popup in Windows Media Player but what exactly are they, well error messages are the computer's way of telling that there is an error!! Whether it be a broken codec or damaged plugin Windows Media Player codes them with code names such as 'C00D11CD' which helps Microsoft address the problem.

The code name give you a hint about what the problem is, a code that starts with '8004' or '8007' tend to be to do with networking or CD burner problems. Codes that start with 'COOD' tend to be a general Windows Media Player Error

'8004' and '8007' can be problematic sometimes because they may not be specific, which doesn't help Windows Media Player give you a clear solution or explination.

If you ever find you recieve an error message that isn't on this site, head over to the Microsoft forums. People in these forums have had similar problems and they will be there to help.
