saying bad Media Player installed please reinstall using Windows XP

Media Player saying improperly installed reinstall

Hi Christine,

I do not know which version you use (of anything), but you can download Media Player 11 for XP here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=1D224714-E238-4E45-8668-5166114010CA&displaylang=en (NOTE: this is for XP 32-bit.)  If you have XP 64-bit, use http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=C6A4CECB-9CB2-42F7-8814-7CB5067EE958).  Once downloaded (save it to your desktop), then try to install it and see if that helps.  Before you begin, be sure to check the system requirements to make sure, that it can be installed, or if you need to do something before doing so.

If this does not work, we will need to know a lot more about the exact message you get (Word for Word), the version of Media Player you use now (version 10 or 11), the version of Windows you are using (for example, 32-bit XP Professional SP3 or other), when this problem started and all changes made to the system since just before you start (new facilities new updates (, new material) and what you can provide that might help us.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Can I uninstall Windows Media Player 12 and reinstall in Windows 7 Professional

    I found a fix you guys thank you earlier, but the corrupted files are still there as someone amended to follow something. Files that has not changed with the fix it guy are applications wmpshare 100 KB; wmpconfig 100KB; Wmplayer 161KO. There is no shortcut, but I go to the menu and click on it and takes me to the location of the files that is now different instead of the type pathname %.  Installers has complete control of the confidence of all this I can not change the permissions either. Cannot even remove these files and the interesting things are WMP is not listed in the menu of programs to alter repair uninstall so it cannot be uninstalled anyway. I disable it in functionality, but that it disabled just when I enabled it today, it was the same until the fix. And now I don't remember which arises or what I was doing, but he said a new version of WMP is installed on your computer, you cannot use an old facility to repair your... I forgot, but I took a snip of it:

    This is what arises, I guess that when I clicked on the application of wmpconfig so I'm stuck in this media Bermuda triangle which is sync all my readers as devices to program flash cannot go down of their. And my HotSpot Android 4 g phone that I use as access point for internet. WMP which is synchronized to the library. All my flash drives now phone are synchronized in that library and it cannot play music. It grabs all my videos, photos and don't have the music. It's crazy.

    So now I answer to my own question (s) it is impossible to uninstall

    When I said there is a newer version already installed but I can't. Also up-to-date Flash Player service is stopped and does not let me start I guess because WMP is jacked or pirated, ha.  What can I do? I don't want to do a RESTORE of the SYSTEM cuz it's back in July 6, 2014.  Well I hope someone knows how to handle this cuz it affects a lot of other little things that are not so little for me.

    I clicked on "check online for a solution", but nothing came.

    I tried to install an earlier version, but was not allowed to do.

    How can I solve this problem.

    Hi Nick91606,

    KERNELBASE.dll is a file system of the operating system.

    Method 1

    I suggest that you save the file on your computer and check if Windows media player works.

    (a) click the Start button.

    (b) in the search box, type command prompt.

    (c) in the list of results, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    (d) in the type command regsvr32 kernelbase.dll line press ENTER.

    (e) close the command prompt

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  • Media Player network sharing service uses 40% of my processor

    Hello

    I bought the HP P6270IN with win 7. everything is perfect, but... I have a problem... media player network sharing service uses 40% of my processor . I do not want to use WMP library. Please advice how to solve this problem.

    Parth

    Hi Parth,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    You use the Windows Media Player network sharing feature?

    If you use this service while the service is required to operate to check computers or network devices with which you share your music. This service also index/updates of the library that is shared.

    If you do not use this service and still is using the CPU you can change the type of start up manual (which is to be launched by the user).

    To disable the service temporarily

    1. opening the Services Control Panel, or type services.msc into the start menu search/run box.

    2. double-click on Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, and then change the service to Manualstartup.

    This has now disabled temporarily the service unless you manually start the service. You can restart the computer and check if the service has been stopped and the CPU usage was down.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • How to correctly reinstall Media Player 11. Reinstall do not have fixed. Need of tags expanded to MP11. Search for CD, playlists, library, etc. are now broken.

    How can I completely re - install Media Player 11?  I tried to reinstall several times.  I tried MP12, but I need tags extended MP11, including lyrics.  My MP11 cannot search of CDs. The library remains empty.  I searched and found dozens of documents concerning the fixing of the problem of empty library and tried all of the suggestions.  Now, I think I need to use a procedure which resets all applicable registry settings, DLLs, etc.

    I don't need to see all the documents that are more subject to the well-known problem of library.  I need a document that explains how to clean the MP11 current installation and reinstall completely.
