Re: Windows Media Player (11) is not installed properly. Reinstall

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

Before seeing your last post, I reinstalled windows SP3.
I had to Reset the registry and the file permissions with the Subinacl.exe
file. Then I was able to install Win XP SP3.
But when I opened WMP, I got the same message as you get on running "sfc/
scannow", that some protected files have unrecognized versions. It asks for
the SP3 setup disk.
I made a copy of the setup file that I had downloaded, but the system still
says that the CD is incorrect.
Format and reinstall? :=(

Thank you for your input.
I understand that since I have Win XP, "You should be able to solve this
through a reinstall of Windows" is what you refer to.

You do not need to update DRM here.

Your system is corrupt by the mechanism WMP is testing with. The
previous
page of mine that Neil correctly pointed you to is the ONLY thing you
wanted
to look. Everything else is just distracting you.

What happens when you followed the step I suggested?

Still do not get anywhere.
I am using Mozilla Firefox. I do not know if that would affect the
results
of the page to update DMR, but it is not available to me.

The registry adjustments were permissions.
What I am finding is that I can play everything except Licensed
media.

If you close both WMP and all your browser windows, then open a single
instance of Internet Explorer and go to this page :

http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp

Is the button there available to be clicked ? Changing hardware
(network card, hard disk, CPU etc) in the PC can cause the PC's
individualisation for DRM licensed media to become invalid.

If you can't click the button or it causes an error, reset your DRM
system as per the detailed instructions here :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891664


I do not understand the kb307545.


That KB refers to windows XP not starting.
It doesn't sound to be relevant here...


I ran the tool. I am unable to copy the whole file to here.

"Registry adjustments"..Youre problem(s) most likely are in the

You might try readjusting the settings you changed,or try
kb307545
Also,download & run WMDiag from microsoft..

After working through the problems with my registry to finally be
able to
install WMP 11 and using it without problems for a couple of
weeks,
I now get
the message "Windows Media Player is not installed properly.
Reinstall the
Player."
I reinstalled and still got the same message.
I tried uninstall which rolls back to the previous installed,
(for
me ver.
9), but it also gave the same message.
I uninstalled again (The uninstall still said Windows Media
Player
11),
reinstalled and get the same.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
