Reinstall/Repair WMP
I got a virus which I was successfully able to remove from my system but now Windows Media Player doesn't work. I get the following error: [image: http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/6/8/1...7378217_o.jpg] Clicking yes just takes me to their website where there isn't a version of WMP for Vista, only for XP. From what I've found there isn't a way to reinstall WMP for Vista. Is there a way to repair this error? -- lacolocho |

Try *sfc /scannow* in elevated cmd. Details are 'here.' (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...e-checker.html) -- whs |

I just did that for another problem and it didn't fix WMP. I don't have forum membership to that one. Are there any other steps to it? -- lacolocho |

Maybe this approach can help: '[Fix] Wmploc.dll Version Number Error While Opening Windows Media Player - Tweaking with Vishal' (http://www.askvg.com/fix-wmplocdll-v...-media-player/) Note: I have never tried that myself. So it may work - or it may not. -- whs |

Initiate a file backup for your computer for All Programs. It will prevent losing your media files if saved on the local disk vice a portable hard drive.
Disconnect any periphery devices from the computer and then go to the Add/Remove programs and select "Remove Program--Windows Media Player".

Neither Vista nor 7 allow uninstalling/reinstalling WMP in the traditional sense, and MS does not offer a download to install over WMP. The only thing you can try is going to Programs and Features and select "Turn Windows features on or off". Turn WMP off, reboot, and turn it back on. I doubt it will help, but the alternative is to do an in-place install, so it is worth trying. |
