I have a media center computer. My pc came with media player 9 installed.
The program will play fine when I open it from the start menu or desktop
icon. However, when I open the media center and go to My Music I get the
messege "To play in media center, install windows media player 9 or repair
current installation." So far I have removed the media player from the
add/remove windows components and reinstalled media player 9. I still get the
messege. Any one have any suggestions?
