Windows Media Player Problem
Hey guys,
I rarely use this computer to play music or watch videos so I'm not sure how long this has been going on. Whenever I start Windows Media Player 10 (its running XP Home SP1), I get this error message: Windows Media Player is not installed properly. Restart your computer and log on with a user account that permits you to install programs. I know that the computer giving me this error ran WMP10 fine about a month ago. Any ideas? |

Can you unistall it and then reinstall it?
control panel, add/remove items, add/remove windows components, then check windows media player. to re-install it, you can go to the microsoft website and download it. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Windows Media Player showed up in the Add/Remove programs list. So I clicked on uninstall and it basically reverted back to WMP9 which works.
Thanks guys |

I installed the wmp 10 and did not like it one bit. went back to wmp 9.
