OK, so stop installing WMP, since you know that's not going to do anything
here. =)

You try to launch WMP, and that fails without any error. Is IE working
properly on the system... ? Is there anything else awry on the system?

Yes that was the only change that occured. I had and still have not
installed any new software or components. I'm assuming the installer is
succeeding because when I install the last screen it shows me says that
once
installation is complete I can access the player to configure it. Once it
finishes downloading the window disappears it does not say install
complete.

Uninstalling and reinstalling is not an effective trouble-shooter because
this is likely not a problem within WMP but rather within other
components
on your system that affect WMP.

If the installer is succeeding, it's pretty definitely not a problem that
reinstalling ad infinitum would be able to help with. Is the installer
succeeding? What changed previous to this breaking - just the last
update...?

I have had the same problem ever since the last update for wmp 10. The
only
difference is I can not even open the player. I've tried uninstalling
and
reinstalling several times. I've removed the updates reintalled and
even
left them out WMP 9 will not even work now. mplayer2 works fine as
does
all
my other players. I have been trying to find an answer online for
weeks
with
no luck. If this keeps up I may switch to Mac and say the heck with
Microsoft. If anybody has an answer it would be appreciated.

When I try to click MP3 files or MPEG the WMP program doesnt begin,
the
hour
glass flickers after clicking the song or movie but the program doesnt
respond. The only way i can play songs is either to drag n drop or to
browse
from in the player and select. I was just wondering how to fix this.

Another thing is, on my MSN it doesnt show What Im Listening To when
my
player is playing.
