Guest JCO Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Running version 11 on xp pro. Can't run videos or it will just crash media player. All I get is the worthless dialog that comes up and asks if I want to send a report to Microsoft. Is there a repair option that I can do? If not, what are my options? I can't uninstall because it always fails. So I downloaded Media 11 and reinstalled it. The problem still exists.
Guest PA Bear Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Your problem has nothing to do with Windows Update. WMP FAQ: Playing music and video files http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/faq/playing_files.mspx You can post your query to this Windows Media Player-specific newsgroup: microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player On the web: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player In your newsreader: http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin DTS-L.org JCO wrote: > Running version 11 on xp pro.

Guest JCO Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Well maybe it does belong here! To the best of my knowledge, the symptoms appeared after I fixed the ..NetFrame Junk. You know... uninstall all .NetFrame then reinstall everything as advised by MS MVP. Maybe somebody out there has also done the .NetFrame changes too, but haven't checked their Windows Media to see if it plays Videos.
