Re: Clicking Files

The first one says "Windows Media Player is version 10.0.0.3990." The second
one says "Windows Media Player is version 6.4 or higher."

and
http://zachd.com/pss/detectwmp64.htm
say you have? Or what happens when you try to load those pages?

IE works fine except for the WMP plugin. I cannot open any files that use
WMP from the net. I've stopped installing, uninstalling WMP. I switched
all
the files that should open with WMP to Real Player until I get this fixed.
No other programs are running improperly or crashing.

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.
