How to fix Windows Media Player Error C00D11B1
I had downloaded Windows Media Player 11 on my system. I am using Windows XP SP2. I thought it would be better to use the most recent edition as it offer more features. But when I try to play video I am getting error C00D11B1. After that Windows Media Player stops working. I run videos by right clicking on it and then choosing open with > media player. What does this error means. I was using Windows Media Player 10 before and it worked really well.
Same Problem, Still No Luck
I was so excited to see that some of you found a solution to that fiendish error code C00D11B1 because I thought it might work for me as well. It didn't. I use WMP 11 and IE 6. Like others I had no trouble watching videos on cnn.com, yahoo.com, abc.com, tnt.tv or Netflix.com. Then one day I tried to view a film on Netflix and it gave me that error code. Netflix tech support tried to help but couldn't. Since I was having the same problem on other sites they suggested I seek help OS tech support. I've seen other queries about this error code all over the Internet, but haven't found a resolution to my problem. I humbly ask for your advice or suggestions. Thanks!

Thank you SO much! Your solution worked perfectly. I recently reinstalled 'BearShare' after I bought my new computer; (Windows XP to Windows Vista), and I could not play any music files downloaded from 'Bearshare' even though they are .WMA. Now I can, YEAH!!!
Thanks again!

Tried your method but still cannot resolve the problem - WMP 11 could not open my VCD "DAT" video file and prompted me with the same error code.
I am using Win XP.

There could be several aspect which is causing the problem for you. it could be that the required codecs is not been installed or missing and hence you are not able to get the .dat file to be playable on your system. I would suggest you to get the required codec for your player. Other than that you can try out by renaming the .dat file to .mpg and then try to execute the file. I hope you may then be able to open the video file without any problem in your Media player. Check out. If still this do not resolve your issue then do check out for Direct X version that you are using. For the same you have to follow a procedure which is given as below:
- Click on start menu
- Now you have to type dxdiag in the run command and hit enter
- Under the system tab make a note of DirectX version that appears in the System Information box.
- Now click on DirectX files tab and then note Quartz.dll file version
Upgrade to the latest pack which supports your system.

Thanks Vigi.C. I tried renaming the .dat file to .mpg but still cannot execute the file.May I know how to find the required codec for my player. I have downloaded WMP verion 11 quite a while ago and it has been working fine previously. Now, I could not open my VCD "DAT" video file with WMP and my video editing software (which was working fine previously too). Both WMP and video editing software have no problem with all other file formats -- wma, wmv, mp3 But I could still open the "DAT" video file with VLC Player and VirtualDub. I'd like to fix the problem so that I could continue using the video editing software which I bought a while ago.
