Cannot open WMP(11) in Vista.
Hello I am in need of and would appreciate some assistance.
I am running Vista Home Premium on an Acer Aspire 5738Z. The system was in place when the laptop
was purchased in UK.
I run automatic updates for Vista and regularly update and scan with Avira, Spybot, Reg Mec and
Malwarebytes.
WMP(11) has been working fine until V recently. I have recently loaded SONY HANDYCAM PMB
(ver4.2.00) from the disc which came with a recently (UK) purchased SONY HANDYCAM.
I am suspicious that this may be the root cause of the problem. I think that WMP(11) is running
in the background as I'm pretty sure that is still on my system. It is in Computer and program
files. Neither I nor other parties' e.g. clips from websites can seem to open it.
I do not know what to do next.
I will be grateful of any help. Regards Sychman.
