Re: Sync centre stops working (due to 3rd party wmp.dll??)

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

No surprises here then:

Program Files\SatelliteTVforPC\2006\Elite\wmp.dll

This is the way I'd do it: open up cmd.exe as administrator, run
cd \
dir /s /b wmp.dll
and then go check the file versions from there.

If that's too much for you, actual technical support or a local computer shop or a friend could likely quickly walk you through how to get that information.

Can you explain how I find this information?

What exact file versions of wmp.dll are located exactly where on your system?

If you're not able to provide this information, you would probably want to speak to actual technical support who could likely walk you through gathering the data of this nature which is absolutely critical to having an intelligent discussion of this issue.

Given that you've previously stated that you had installed a noxious piece of software, you may indeed need to reinstall Windows Vista. The lighter weight alternative would probably be to work through the questions I'm asking, but those may be a little complicated. =\

When I boot up, add or remove a USB device I get a message that Microsoft
sync center has stopped working. A Microsoft message pops up to say it has a
fix. It says the problem is to do with a third party wmp.dell. I have
followed the Microsoft instructions to the letter 3 times, but still get the
problem - what next?
