RE: Windows Media Player 10 no longer working

FIXED...at least for now.

Restarted the computer in SAFE mode. Media Player 10 worked. So, I went to
Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs - made sure "Show Updates" was checked
and rolled back Media Player 10. It rolled it back to 9 for me.

I restarted in normal mode...everything looked okay.

Then, after reading that the Anti-virus software may have something to do
with it, I disabled NIS 2005 and reinstalled.

WORKS!!! Good luck and post your results.

Just as an additional note: I was also having problem with a MS Money plugin
for Excel.

The problem was a specific file from windows update.
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - March 2006 (KB890830)

I Ghosted my system back to before the problem, and did every windows update
EXCEPT (KB890830). So far everything is running as it should.

So happy!

I have been using windows media player since is was first avalible for
download with out a single problem. Now all of a sudden WMP10 will no longer
open.

As soon as you run a media file (audio or video) wmp pops up with a error
mesage.

Error Signature:
AppName: wmplayer.exe AppVer: 10.0.0.3646 ModName: shdocvw.dll
ModVer: 6.0.2900.2805 Offset: 00017cae

This problem is only related to WMP10 & 9. Windows media player 6.4 works
Fine. Viewing media through IE works fine. All other video appilcations work
fine on my PC. So its not a codec related issuse.

I cant figure this one out.

Im 99.9% sure that its not virii related.

Things i have tried,
Uninstall WMP10 and revert back to WMP9. = same problem.
reinstalled WMP10. = same problem.

This one kills me.
Since the problem started last thrusday, march 30th i deceided to reload my
puter from a Ghost image that i created from the beging of march. After the
the installation of my system drive everything worked. But to day the probelm
came back.

The only other thing that i can think of is that maybe im getting some sort
of conflict with a spicific update, from Windows Update.

i dont know.
has anyone been though this before?

thanks
