I have noticed that some of the visualisations that originally came with Windows Media Player have gradually got 'Lost' as the Player has become upgraded (now Version 11) Ambience, Particle, Plenoptic and Spikes are all showing in MP but do not work. I have done a search on Google for these and can't find them at all. My searches threw up several forums and I found that these missing visuals with the later versions of MP is common.

I followed some instructions given on one of these forums and managed to restore 'Musical Colors' - a very popular one, which I had completely forgotten about, as this wasn't showing at all in Version 11. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how these other missing visualisations can be restored? Well, like you Five, I was happy with previous versions of MP too.

I'd just be familiar with all the options when the darned thing would change and I'd have to start all over again! However, I began to notice that I couldn't play certain types of media in it unless I upgraded to the later versions. It's the same with IE. I 'Hide' these updates in Windows Update for as long as possible, until for some reason or another I have to upgrade. I've just about got the hang of IE7 and now it's changing to IE8! I'm 'Hiding' that one as well at the moment, or I'll have to put up with that nagging little yellow shield in my system tray! No doubt I'll have to upgrade in the end, but not for a while I hope!

There must be a way of getting all the visuals in MP back though, if there is for getting one back, surely? Thanks Stantley. I've downloaded one of the really good ones, but what I really want is to get the ones that are supposed to be already there, as they show in WMP but don't work!

Namely: Ambience, Particle, Plenoptic & Spikes. Presumably they're already installed, or they wouldn't show up in WMP, so I thought re-installing them would do the trick!

Hi, after reformatting my computer I noticed my Windows Media Player visualisations running very slowly, I updated my video card drivers and Windows Media Player, all to no avail. But the strange thing is is that when i right-click the visualisation, it runs smoothly, i'm not sure why this is. Does anyone have.

See what I mean? I don't really want to fill up my hard drive with too many visualisations as I don't have unlimited space.

Alternatively, if it's not possible to reinstall these, then how to get rid of them completely? Well Stantley, I got sent a few things that seemed to be some sort of 'Streaming' media from the Internet. WMP 10 wouldn't play any of of them.

Yet when I updated to V. Like you, I liked WMP 10, but I'm sure I read somewhere that Version 10 still didn't show the visualisations that were in V. Incidentally, do you know why these are still showing in the player, when they're obviously no longer there?

Having said that though, if I was to roll back to a previous player, wouldn't those visuals come back? So.they must still be installed! Download Black Pistol Fire Big Beat 59 Rarlab. It's a puzzle and no mstake!

My Dell Dimension 8100 desktop computer runs Windows ME (Millenium Edition) and on its Windows Media Player I have the blissfully beautiful and peaceful visualization ' Ambience: Random'. On my Toshiba Satellite laptop computer, running Windows Vista Basic, I do not have ' Ambience: Random' - as far as I can see.

Is there any way in which I can get ' Ambience: Random' onto my Vista Basic laptop Windows Media Player, please? I so love, ' Ambience: Random' and it is the only visualization to which I can effectivelyrelax and meditate; so it's really important to me to have it on my laptop. Any help would be very much appreciated. I have it on my Windows Media Player on my Dell Desktop computer running Windows ME (Millenium Edition ).
