Re: WMP 11 Vista will not start


Cool, that implies that some bad third party is asking for too many
privileges. What other multimedia components were installed to the system?
What's listed in WMP's Help:About:Technical Support Information menu tool?
What sound and video card do you have?

No, as I said earlier, wmplayer.exe does not appear in the task manager -
it
will not start, even in the background, unless I run as administrator

When you can't run it as your user account: is it already started
according
to the Processes tab of Task Manager (where it shows up as wmplayer.exe)?

When I attempt to run WMP 11, by opening the exe, opening the shortcut,
opening a media file or attempting to autoplay a dvd or cd, it will not
open.
I have checked in the task manager and it is not running. However, if I
run
it with administrative privliges, it will open. This seems odd,
especially
considering that the exe itself or any shortcut I create has all the
compatibility options including run as administrator greyed out in the
properties menu. I am running the latest version, have the latest
windows
updates and hardware drivers and I haven't installed or uninstalled any
software recently (The problem seemed to start with no catalyst).

Any help would be appreciated, thnx.
