  Hi, I read your latest messages and when though seems inactive, just disable it if you can anyway. Good idea on the 'never' :-)

  First download and SAVE FP uninstaller on your desktop:

  http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/141/tn_14157.html

  Next move the archived site http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html download the Flash Player 9.0.280 21.8 MB on your desktop. It is a zip file.

  Search and extract: Internet Explorer flashplayer9r280_winax.exe and place it on your desktop.  (1.46 MB)
  Download the FP for IE Installer and SAVE to your desktop:(latest version)
  http://fpdownload.Macromedia.com/Get/flashplayer/Current/Install_flash_player_ax.exe

  Once you have on your desk, using the administrator account, you CLOSE all browser windows.
  Disable McAfee
  Look in your tray (area near the clock) system for instant messengers, yahoo, aol, etc and turn them off.
  Your computer, run the program uninstall and when it's finished, Reboot (restart).
  Check and make sure that McAfee is always disabled.
  Run the Setup from vs 9 and when you're done, restart your computer
  Test your browser here and you should be able to see the Flash animation (spin) logo and the Flash Player version must be listed.
  http://www.Adobe.com/software/Flash/about/ Must vs 9
  Now, you run the program to uninstall again to uninstall vs 9, when finished, restart your computer
  Check and make sure that McAfee is always disabled.
  Run Setup vs 10.2.152.32 and when you're done, restart your computer.
  Then test your browser and you should have now installed 10.2.152.32 vs. If you can see the logo Flash animation (spin), then you have probably Shockwave Flash Object in IE addons, so check that.
  You may want to print these directions to make it easier to follow.

  Read these and let me know. I'm back on the forum now.

• error message: Media Player is not installed

  I tried Fix It online but I get always an error message my Media Player is not installed properly and I need to reinstall, how do I do this?

  original title: Media Player is not installed

  Uninstall first to:

  1 menu start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
  2. I assume you are using version 11, so look for and uninstall runtime 11 and 11.

• Problems with error Windows Media Player, that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

  We have a computer that is running Windows 7 and (I think) Windows Media Player 12.  When I start ==> all programs ==> windows media player, the program starts and it seems to work.  It is a work computer, so no video or audio file is saved.

  We have an online seminar that the user wants to participate in, and when we click on the link to get the webinar, an error message appears saying that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

  We use Firefox (version reasonably updated, but do not know which) for internet.

  I used the "fix it" tool on the website of Microsoft, but that does not solve anything.  He said it sets some configuration settings.  I thought that maybe uninstall and reinstall it can work, but I can't understand completely uninstall because it isn't in my list of programs in the control panel.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks for any ideas you may have.

  (Moved to programs)

  Uninstall and reinstall could be done by searching for and opening the option "turn on or off Windows features", but I don't think it will help.

  Instead, what you need is a Windows Media Player plugin for your browser (Firefox).

  But before you spend effort on it, I would test to see if it's really the solution.  Try to join your webinar with Internet Explorer (where the WMP plugin is built).  If it works, you can be reasonably sure to know how to make it work with Firefox.

• 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)

  1. 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
  2. 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 )
  3. 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
  4. Last resort, a repair install - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html
  5. 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.

• Windows Media Player is not installed correctly. Reinstall the drive.

  I am running XP Home and WMP v11. I get the following message when I try and play some files: "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly. Reinstall the drive.

  In the past I had to go back to WMP 10 to 9 and reinstall when this happened, but when I triedthis method , this time it did not work and said that he could not uninstall.

  The songs have played fine on WMP in the past and they are the ones I've owned for years rather than months.

  I can't think that I changed something on the PC to save this change, but clearly I.

  Unless you have one of the versions Windows 7 N/K/KN special then these downloads are, as you say, not for you.

  For all the normal editions of Windows 7, WMP is essential and there is no download.

  Judging from your description of the problem, I think you need "unload" and then "recharge" WMP.  It's practically the equivalent of uninstalling and then reinstalling.

  1 unload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] turn on or off has Windows, multimedia features, clear box Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

  2 reload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] turn Windows features on or off, multimedia features, set the Windows Media Player box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

  This should fix the problem.
