Windows Media Player and Music Status In Gtalk


A post From Google Talk groups (Google) , i thot this wil be useful for most of the gtalk users who are searching for this issue for a long time ….
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to add a little something about an
issue that sometimes comes up when users are trying to share their
music status in Google Talk using Windows Media Player.
When Windows Media Player or your Windows desktop crashes, Windows
Media Player is designed to disable all plug-ins (including the Google
Talk music status plug-in). If this happens, the current music track
you’re playing on Windows Media Player won’t show up as your Google
Talk’s status message.
I know many of you have found the solution to this problem, but for
those who haven’t found this fix before, all you need to do is
re-enable the Google Talk plug-in. Just follow these steps:


1. Open Windows Media Player.
2. From the View menu, select ‘Plug-ins’ > ‘Options…’
3. From the Category section of the Plug-ins tab, select ‘Background.’
4. Select the ‘Google Talk Music Plugin’ checkbox.
5. Click ‘OK.’
You’ll have to close and restart Windows Media Player for your change
to take effect. 

But sometimes the problem started when I tried to used in WMP 11 on Windows Vista Home Premium ...
this is for vista! 
INSTALLING GTALK AND MEDIA PLAYER DISPLAYING THE TRACKS.
all you have to do is right click your gtalk installer. before that close both your media player and gtalk, it doesnt matter if you installing the same version. instead of clicking on install, you RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. wait a little, open you gtalk, choose to show current track, run your windows media player and play a track, now the media file`s name should be displayed.
cheers.

Happy music status sharing!
