Any way to reinstall WMP in Vista 64 ?

[clarkey01]

Been running Vista 64 nearly 2 years, not a problem until today.

WMP will not shut down, if I close it, the sound carrys on yet the app appears to be closed.

If I go to task manager and stop the process it stops...This is bugging me.


Anyway to reinstall ? I tried system restore but the problem persists.

I have VCL but I really like media centre and WMP, so if you guys could help me that would be grand.


Cheers Fellas

This link if for downloading WMP 11 you could google for a different version if needed. Then try to reinstall it and see if that works.

http://www.microsoft.com/windo...player/11/default.aspx

There a page that will download more versions there

Meh - didnt work, says I have a newer version installed.

Is there anyway to uninstall or do a repair install on the version I have ? VLC is great but I really want my working media player back.

im having issues with my media player 11 in vista 64 premium. Mine sometimes opens and locks up the whole machine. Im thinking its either video/sound driver doing it, but boy is it annoying

Did you try rebooting? WMP flakes out every so often, but a reboot has always worked for me.
