Thanks to everyone who responded. I was not really
upset. I saw that my posts were not responded to and
were moving to page 10 without any replies. I took the
advice of accessing my registry (I had to add the
WindowsMediaPlayer key). So far so good. We'll see what
happens. Thanks again everyone!

your computer with more "power": hard drive space,
memory, so on & so forth it should work then but
something in your computer now evidently is not
compatible with what this new media player requires. Just
a suggestion I am by no means an expert just call it as I
see it.
