Could you specifically state your problem? I'm confused by the exact
problem that you are encountering.

Hello there,
I also have the same problem as Nikolaj, and I tired you fix, but it
didn't
work. The vis works find in WMP10 on it's own, but doesnot work in MEC...
where you able to find a fix for this?

* Run "cmd.exe".
* Enter the following two lines:
===
cd c:\windows\system32
for %a in (wm*.dll) do regsvr32 %a
===
If that doesn't make sense to you, check with a friend who knows
computers a
little better - it's a teeeensy bit technical, but if you can't make
sense
of that, you would want to contact actual product support as opposed to
having peers try to provide you advice. =)

- No viz is working
- Playing in MCE 2005
- I know that a re-install will work, because I did it earlier (saw
another
post elsewhere).
After re-installing XP and updating WMP with latest patches (because of
a
non-WMP related prob), the problem returned with viz and song title in
MCE.
Now it just wont let me re-install.
I am not skilled enough to "decode" your suggestion - perhaps a more
simplified version?
Thanks for taking your time.

Which viz? What playback environment - within MCE or within WMP?
How do you know that reinstalling WMP will solve this? What point or
feature do you think that will buy you?
Since the file integrity is protected by the operating system, the
only
thing you would possibly touch via a 'reinstall' is to reregister key
dlls.
Is that what you want? If so, here, run this:
===
cd c:\windows\system32
for %a in (wm*.dll) do regsvr32 %a
===
, and there, you've just totally proven to yourself whether or not a
reinstall would fix this, as you've reregistered every WMP dll you
care
about. *shrug* I doubt that'll help, but I do want to make sure that
you
get the full value of the reinstall that you're trying to do here. =)
From what you've said, it sounds like there's some problem MCE is
having
scripting against the player...? If the MCE people sent you here, did
they
provide you with any information telling you ~why~?

Here's what's wrong:
When playing music in XP MCE 2005 the visualizations doesn't work
(only
black screen), the song title etc. stays on (eventhough I have
selected
only
at start/end of each song) and the volume indicator stays on, if I
adjust
it
when playing music.
Have tried to post in the MCE NG, but they sent me here, as it is a
prob
in
the WMP. I know that re-installing WMP will solve, but I guess
that's
not
an
option as per your previous answer.

You do NOT want to reinstall WMP10 in this scenario. Due to how
the
WMP10
installer works, you would lose critical functionality that you
would
never
be able to regain without pretty much formatting the box. (That's
not
my
code, and I'm as displeased about that as anyone.)
So the fact that it blocks you? Awesome. You LOVE that.
Let's move on.
What's wrong with what viz and/or other features?

Trying to re-install WMP 10 as Visualization and certain other
features
aren't working, when played "behind" XP MCE 2005.
I get "A more recent version already exists... cannot install".
How can I remove WMP 10 completely in order to install it again,
or
how
can
I repair the bugs with visualization?
