Error in Windows Media Player, Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. You want to install the Player from the Microsoft Website
I don't know how or why it happened, but one day to another, WMP won't open. I tried to open an MP3 file, and he says that WMP has not been correctly configured "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. Do you want to install the player from the Microsoft Website? ».
I assumed that since I had to make some updates yesterday, that he was at fault, it had installed an update/new version of WMP and it was either buggy or doesn't work do not, so I went to the Windows updates, but no recent updates on the list had a remote connection with Windows Media Player.
So, I accept the first proposal of the error message, and I'm headed to the Windows Media Player download page on the Microsoft Website. However, the version I should install (which was the one I already had) has Windows Media Player 12 for Windows 7. But this option is locked for me, and as I tried to install it, it says it is not compatible with my system. Not to mention, it's a whole package and not just the WMP installation.
I tried everything and nothing seems to work. It won't even let me uninstall WMP because it won't let me open.
My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. And the error messages that I get to try to launch any WMP feature (the tool, the installation program, no matter what), opens an error window stating that "there is a more recent version of Windows Media (12.0.7601.18150) player already installed on your computer. It is not possible to use and more old (12.0.7601.17514) installation package to install files or repair your current version of the reader. »
Please, I ask for any intervention in this case.
This arises from time to time, but I don't think that there is a difficulty of 100%.
You can try (in no particular order)
- uninstall, reboot, reinstall WMP- http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/26107/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-player-in-windows-7-to-solve-problems/ if that doesn't help, try a SFC/scannow check - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
- There is this diagnostic tool - http://support2.microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/ that can help (from http://support2.microsoft.com/fixit/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0 )
- You could try a system restore to a date before the problem occurred to see if that helps - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/system-restore-faq#1TC=windows-7 and see if it gets a WMP work back
- Last resort, a repair install - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html
- Or just simply forget about WMP and try another party 3rd multimedia player that you can install and uninstall at will, as free VLC - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
But it may be worth waiting a while to see if someone else has a better solution.

I don't know what I did to stop the work. One minute, he was working & the next it wasn't.
- Reboot your system.
- Select start/run and type:

Otherwise just download and install from here -

Do you remember the last time that your Media Player worked properly? You can use the system restore (type it in the start menu to find) to go back on this point. This restoration takes about 2 minutes and will not affect your files - no matter how far you go. It simply restores your system files and settings.

"Windows Media Center is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled"
I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition and Windows Media Center gives me an error that reads "Windows Media Center is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled." When I try to install Windows Media Player from the Microsoft website I gives me an error saying I need to download "Update cumulative 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition". Once I have download, I get a different error message indicating that I have to download '.NET Framework 1.1 and .NET Framework 1.2 SP1' before I can continue with the update for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. I download that and received a message that is not a valid Win32 application. I can not understand what is happening or how to fix it. I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling, but over the years, I lost track of the product key. Does anyone know how can I fix? Thank you, in advance.

Original title: MP3 Association.
Hello
Hello
I have 64 Ultimate, I had a problem with the version number of WMPLOC. DLL, see the attachment. I run Kaspersky AV completely up to date.
There is a lot of info on the net and none have worked in this newsgroup on how to fix this error however.I tried to change the version of the file with resource hacker and I tried all the dos commands to save the version of the file, but it worked only partially.
I to WMP do not have access to the list of start/programs, don't y at - it programs in one and the list of features "Turn Windows features on or off", my desktop shortcut has been for version 32 bit and who made the error, as did double click an MP3 file.
I have 32 and 64 bit versions of WMP on my PC, I created a shortcut on the desktop for the 64 bit version and it works however I can't associate MP3s with the 64-bit version, dialogue 'Open with' reverts to the 32-bit version (and I get the error) even if I chose the wmplayer.exe in 64-bit file , I tried to rename the folder WMP 32 bit for windows does not find the exe file in this folder and it uses just Quicktime for the association.
Y at - it a fix for this problem of association?
Thank you
Daniel
I guess you need go to the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer as well for this. There should be a shortcut to this version in the Menu start - all programs. Tim Baets

Windows media player - "you want to hide the drive.
Hello
Can someone help me with something that leads me into the wall? Since I installed SP2 on my desktop and laptop, when I close WMP everything a video or track is playing, a dialog box appears on the screen asking me "Do you want to hide the drive instead to shut up?". There are two button (Yes & No.), and a checkbox to say '' do not ask that in the future".
More often than otherwise, this dialog box appears mainly outside the screen area, and I have to drag in the main window. But more annoying than anything else, is that no matter if I check the box "don't ask again", I'm ignored. Whenever I close the player with the closing this window 'X', I get the same dialog box.
It was not the case prior to SP2. I looked all over the internet by using the text of the dialog box to see if other users know this, and I can't find a thing. I am logged in as administrator (the only user on both machines). I am running Vista 32-bit, l i've got things like FFShow installed and the combined community codec pack. However, my brother also has it installed on his vista machine and did not see the dialog box.
Is there some sort of registry setting that is corrupt, is not being written because of UAC, or something (anything!) that I can put to stop this dialog once for all to come?
Much recognition for everyone and anyone who can help you.
Am I just that you said this happens on both machines? Must be something in common.
