How to reinstall Windows media player on Windows Vista?

I can't get the media player to work tell me what to do to reinstall it so it works

Hello

You don't say what operating system or version of Media Player you ask the subject.

You cannot uninstall and reinstall Media Player 11 on Vista.

It is part of the Vista operating system.

You can try this:

But you will need to borrow a DVD of Microsoft Vista, not a manufacturer Recovery DVD and a repair if upgrade install the SFC process above does not solve your problem:

  • How to reinstall windows vista on Lappy which is preinstalled?

    I have Thinkpad R400 preinstalled Windows Vista SP1.

    Due to software problem (suddenly froze after 2-3 min to boot) I did a factory reset. Contributing to the frozen problem but brings a lot of other problems.

    Problems-
    01 after reset, some programs don't go out. Clicking on it shows "invalid path".
    2. opening a file creates a separate window, although opening in the same window settings in 'on '. I found a solution on the internet IE "actxprxy.dll" activation through cmd. This is useful.
    3. turn the button to "auto update" and "Windows defender" does not work. I mean after clicking it shows it will turn on but stays the same.
    4. There is a problem with the installation of other software.
    5. after each start up brightness down by half. I have to manually increase.

    Now, I decided to reinstall vista, but I have no cd of restoration or cd of the OS.

    There is a product id to the Lappy back.

    I can use it at installation time?

    Help me, I want to start from the beginning with this vista.

  • Satellite L300 - how to reinstall Windows Vista on the replacement HARD drive

    Hello

    My HARD drive has stopped working on my PSLB9E. He started making whirring noises and wouldn't start. all tests show it does not. Now I guess I need a replacement for HARD drive and watched a TOSH MK2565GSX or other similar. Problem is I can't find my Windows key anywhere.

    It is can get the key to Toshiba/Microsoft giving them all my contact information or do I have to buty a new HARD drive and install a copy newly purchased Windows on? If Yes, then I'll put W7 on I guess.

    Thanks in advance for any help I receive!

    SB

    > Problem is that I can't find my Windows key anywhere.
    The preinstalled Windows operating system and the image that is placed on the Toshiba recovery disc were already activated and therefore the serial key is not necessary.
    If you don t have the recovery disc, so you can buy this drive here:

    Thank you.

    I think that you have not looked in the user manual. This, because there you can find a lot of information how do I reinstall Windows Vista.

    However, the computer Toshiba laptop with Vista have a HARD drive recovery function. On the second partition is a file called "HDDRecovery". It contains the image of the factory settings, and so you can reinstall the laptop without CD/DVD.

    In addition, you can also burn the recovery disks with the Toshiba recovery disc creator and you should do it too. If a faulty HARD drive or something else you need this floppy and otherwise, you must pay for it.

    Normally, you should get the message of reminder of recovery on your laptop and it contains interesting information:

  • Windows Media Player 11 Rip - Vista Home Premium error

    I have the same problems others have with my Media Player.  This problem started not until I installed updates to windows.  I have updated to service pack 2 and Internet Explorer 8.  I tried system restore but my most old restore point was only a week before my problem and did not help at all.

    Here's my problem exactly how it goes:

    I put a cd Ripper.  He begins ripping automatically the first track automatically.  On all the remaining tracks, it says "pending" in the status of rip.  After extraction of about 20% of the track, he spent the "ripping" to "error".  Then, all other tracks are from 'pending' to 'error' and ejects the cd.  I tried all combinations of bitrate and the type of file format and nothing seems to work.  Also on some of your answers on this forum your told us to go to the page Windows VISTA Media Player 11 download to download, but when I click on the link http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx , DOES NOT give you the option of Windows Media Player 11 for VISTA, only for XP and earlier windows platforms.  I even tried to download one for XP and I got an error saying something like that I have a newer version and that you can't use that one.  Anyone can solve this for me?  I was able to copy CDs to the 31/08/09, since these windows updates seems to have screwed something.  Are there bugs in these new updates of compatibility issues?  Help!

    Don

    Hello SavatageFan, welcome.

    Out of curiosity, have you tried ripping the content to another computer? The disc itself is possibly corrupt.
    Another option you can try is to manually copy the contents of the CD to the hard drive and play back locally. That would reduce the possible causes.

    In addition, what happens if you try to read all the content? Never introduce error messages or jump?

    Let us know,

  • Reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium without CD (broken CD player)

    My mother needs to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium on a HP Pavilion, but cannot use the CD because the CD player is broken. I read that there is a way to make it through a hidden partition, but I did find something that gives clear step by step I can follow. If someone has done what can give me a clear set of guidelines? Is it safe to use option? I remember that you try to use a hidden partition on my old Dell, but it failed and I ended up having to borrow a CD. I won't make the same mistake on his computer, where with the help of a CD is not an option.

    Also, are there - other - options, such as reinstalling from a USB stick or something? If so, how do you go?

    Thank you

    May

    You can only use the hidden partition option if your HP was origonally provided with a hidden restore partition. HP support for your specific model site should have the instructions.

    Default you would either need to replace the failed drive, use a third party external cd drive, or depending on your HP, you can copy the complete installation cd to a USB key then boot from the USB key to install (if supported by your HP) or finally your HP with another PC on the network can install via the other PC cd drive
