Well, since I could not figure out how to get WMP 10 to run I uninstalled it
and now use WMP 9, which seems to run just fine.

uninstall 10 and install 9. 10 never works properly. I have the same
problem
but now can't uninstall 10 !

see Modname: shdocvw.dll, Modver: 6.002900.2805, Offset: 00017cae. I
Tried
downloading the program and installing of over whatever is there, but it
made no difference. I then uninstalled the player, rebooted, installed
the
player again. However, once I finished all this I got the same error
message. I checked the KB for similar messages and found a few. None
seemed to apply to this problem, but where I could I checked on the
suggestions (e.g., updating the computer's date and time (I thoukght they
were pretty correct anyway). What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?
I
would appreciate any help.
