Re: windows media player (Vista) won't open
Possible Fix:
I had the same (or a similar) problem, and the following appears to have
fixed it:
- Open TaskManager | Applications
- If Windows Media Player is not running, hit the Processes tab and look for
wmplayer.exe in the Image Name column. If it's running, right mouse click on
it and hit End Process. Answer Yes to "are you sure?"
- Exit TaskManager and hit one of the MediaPlayer shortcuts.
- This restored MediaPlayer on my system, now I'm going to check the
settings on it to make sure I didn't configure it incorrectly at an earlier
date.
Good luck,
Phil
