  • Unknown problem caused media player to close and that to protect my Media Player Windows has disabled skins

    Original title: "skins".
    I recently downloaded a lot of skins from the microsoft Web site, and it worked very well for about an hour. Then I saw a skin called 'come back' I don't not download but recalled seeing in my default skins that were already installed. I wanted to see what it was and when I did caused a problem which I can't specify because the notification window remained only until fairly long for me to see (in a nutshell) "unknown problem caused media player to close and to protect my Media Player Windows has disabled skins. Now, I spent over 3 hours to try each answer in the forums for this issue and not one worked for me. I am running Windows Vista Home Basic and I can't find a way to reactivate my skin so that I can use only skins working know is the company and changing the skin that caused the problem. I tried deleting and reinstalling all the skins again, but again does not help. I tried to do a right click on the skin to go to properties to activate as suggested in the forums, but when I right click on it nothing happens. So now I have like 20 downloaded skins but the only way that they work is if I download again and choose to view them, but if I try to change the playlist or switch to full mode then it goes to firm skin and I download it again to get the one I want. I am so frustrated with this problem which I think should be a very easy thing to fix, but nothing I try works. Please help me. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

  • If I remove windows media player windows Media Center always works

    I never use windows media player but I use XP Media Center Edition 2005 to record TV programs, I have watch on a different media player.

    Can I remove Media PLayer without harming the Media Center?

    Thank you very much James

    You can't really uninstall Media Player from all current versions of Windows, it is a central element.  It is best to not not muck on that.  Also notes that some readers of third part depend on Media Player components working properly, ask only trouble if you muck on this.

    I work in the window Vista Home Premium and two or three days for an unknown reason all (at least most) program I try to open, to be opened by Windows Media Player. Example, I tried to open Google Chrome or Skype or any application, but it cannot open. Instead, Windows Media PLayer will open with a statement indicating the support of windows media player cant the file. I looked under the Properties tab of the target still ends in .exe, but for some reason any TYPE TARGET indicates Windows Media Player.
