Try to install the Windows Media Player plug-in and receive an error message "could not find the environment Option that was entered? How can I fix it?

I can't watch the video of MSN homepage.  The Device Manager in the Control Panel also gives me same error message.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi bears Beltran.

1. what browser do you use for viewing?
2. What plugin you are trying to install?

Method 1
I suggest you to run the fixit from the following link:

Method 2
I suggest you to scan SFC. Scan SFC will replace missing or damaged files.

  • Error message "the system cannot find the environment option that was entered.

    I'm having a problem to launch programs on my system. I have Windows vista. Whenever I try to run any program on my computer, I get an error message that says: "the system could not find the environment option that was entered." He won't let me do things like: update of the parental control settings, System Restore, uninstall programs, install downloads, run antivirus software, ect. I tried to use the advice given in this forum without success. The system won't let me use the run as Administrator option and no longer recognizes my account administrator. I've lost my Vista boot drive, so I can't use it to repair the computer. I am at the end of the roll and can't not think of anything else to do, but my computer reset it back to default settings. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Do you have a recovery disk (unless you have an already or that you have an Installation of Windows Vista genuine disc) using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning like software: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and of course a blank CD.  This recovery disk will allow you to do the Startup Repair and system restore. You may need to change the BIOS to do the CD drive first in the boot sequence.  It was boot the PC and wait for the screen where it shows the F key to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the change, save your work and exit.  Insert the CD into the drive and restart.  When you are prompted, press a key to start the PC.

    Try a system restore to a point BEFORE this problem started to occur.  Here's how: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If this does not work, try an earlier point or two.

    If this does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the Installation of Windows Vista genuine disc or your recovery disk. Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.

    If you don't have a floppy, you can make a recovery disk to http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ using a burning like software: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and of course a blank CD.  This recovery file is just as good as one that comes with Vista, but it can't do a reinstall.  You can do a system restore or startup repair or even use the command prompt.  Boot from the CD may be your only option, because you are not an administrator and therefore cannot do these functions in normal mode.

    Let's see if it works before moving on to other troubleshooting options.

    Good luck and I hope this works!

  • System could not find the environment option that was entered.

    The Trend Micro Client caused a bit of stir in my computer.

    He gave me the UiSeAgnt.exe error and I couldn't open any .exe files. I uninstalled Trend Micro and that pop up more rises. But the "System could not find the environment option/variable is entered" is yet to come when I try to run the .exe. This means that same cmd cannot be opened. I can not connect to the Internet independently wireless or wired. Audio system is not even the sense system speakers or external audio devices.

    I tried the system restore, did not work. I tried SFC/scannow, did not work. Now my current idea is to back up my files and blow the computer on with a clean restore. What should I do? I use a Vaio E series 14 p, btw.

    If it really comes down to it, how much memory should I backup everything?

    Hi Vey,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft community.

    Your system is connected to a domain network?

    This problem occurs in situations where Shutdown.exe cannot access the UserDomain environment variable. The task of the judgment which is on demand by using the at command runs under the system account. When the task is run under the System account, the UserDomain environment variable are not accessible because it does not exist. But the problem occurs mainly on the areas of server.

    I would suggest trying the following steps and check if these help to resolve the issue.

    1. start your system in safe mode.

    2. press on the Windows key + R.

    3. type sysdm.cpl , and then click OK.

    4. click on the "Advanced" tab

    5. in "Startup and recovery", click "Environment Variables".

    6. under "System Variables", click 'new '.

    7. for "Variable name", type in windir%

    8. for 'Value of the Variable', type in C:\Windows

    9. click OK on the all the dialog boxes that pop up.

    10. restart your system in normal mode.

    If, however, your system is connected to the normal mode, please see the following support article.

  • The system could not find the environment option that was entered.

    I have Vista Home Premium. I must have met a significant corruption or a virus. Here's what the system won't let me do.

    System restore
    Launch any program exe
    run cmd as administrator
    launch msconfig
    Basically, everything I download don't throw (including several ladies virus recommended this forum and others)
    If it's a virus, he got by AVG free edition
    Safe mode does not enable all the options I get always "the system could not find the environment option that was entered."
    It of almost as if someone really took time to reflect on how to thwart an attack and then implemented in the opposite direction.

    Is blowing the entire disk and back at my only option?

    Zitouni,

    Thanks for your reply, good point on the File Checker, I didn't know that. Unforuneatly I have not see your reply until I decided it was time to re - install the system. One thing to note, I couldn't do a 'run as administrator' anyway possible. This system was really corrupt which leads me to believe that he may have been a NTFS/Fat 32 Co-mingling question. Just a guess, but I really don't see how it could have happened otherwise.

    Another thing to note, if you have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with a 250Gig HD-make sure that you format the partition, you then load the SATA drivers! Also, make sure that the restore partition does not primary. Make sure that you format (assuming that you have backed up your data before!). Otherwise, it hangs on Setup to complete the installation. Who took me ahwhile to understand.

    Everything is cool now (reinstalled Vista), just thank ful there is a site like this to run things by! ;)

    Concerning

The player displays correctly at the beginning, but then repositions and resizes. It seems that my width setting is to honor, but not my height adjustment. Also, autoplay = "false" (or "0") is also not honored the video starts playing after the repositioning and resizing. I tried different code for integration with the same result.

    Sara: I suggest that you try to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If its status is started, double-click on the service and click on stop.
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, delete the folder Media Player. If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.
