WMP11 is integral to Vista. You would only see it in Add/Remove Programs in
XP. The same with IE7.

I think you can do it by booting with the dvd and running the system file
checker from the console. I have never had to do this with Vista but Chad
or one of the console guru's probably have.

I am having the same problem, just did a clean install of windows vista RC2,
build 5744 and everytime I open up windows media player it says it has
stopped responding. I find is completely stupid that you cant do an
uninstall, or at least a reinstall of windows media player. This is the sort
of thing that got them into trouble with I.E., appears they havent learned
their lesson. At any rate, how can I fix, or reinstall windows media player.

Is there any info that might help in the Event Viewer?
If you are not familiar with the event viewer, click the Start Orb, click on
Help and Support, and type "event viewer" in the Help Search field. If you
are familiar with it, type "even" in the Start Search box and hit enter to
bring it up.

OK, new developments. I installed winamp and discovered it crashes in the
same fashion as windows media player. Firstly, I must apologize for blaming
Microsoft media player, as the issue seems to be my sound card driver. I am
running Nvida NForce Sound card driver, but I have no idea how to fix the
issie. I tried installing the XP version of the Nvida sound card driver, but
every time I run the installer windows vista crashes in the middle of setup.
Hummm, any ideas.

Wow.. Since you have to actually pay Microsoft to get an apology for the
flaws in WMP 11, shouldn't they pay you for your apology about WMP 11?
