  Hello

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. you receive an error message?

  3 when was the last time it was working fine?

  Method 1

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Method 2

  If the above step failsthenI suggests Mr scanner SFC on the computer that would scan for corrupt system files on the computer and replace them.

  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.

• I can't open windows media player

  When I try and open windows media player I get the message - Windows cannot open this program because it was prevented by restrictionpolicy software. For more information, contact your system administrator - can anyone help?
  Thanks in advance

  Hi jimbosum888,

  I never had any problems with Windows Media Player, but it seems that an antivirus program or a firewall is blocking Windows Media Player.

  If you have installed AntiVirus or an additional firewall, just disable and try to start the media player again.

• Every thing opens windows media player

  I don't know what I did. I was down loading a disc photos. Don't know what I clicked but now all my desktop icons are all of the windows media player icon and when I go to system restore and you click on it it opens windows media player also.   help.........................

  Hello

  See if you can run the Windows System Restore as follows.

  Shut down the PC.  Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  When it is loaded, click on the Menu start, open the all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".  Type in the following command and press ENTER.

  Rstrui.exe

  I hope that this will launch the system restore.  Choose a restore point at least 24 hours before the file association problem and then restore.  When you are finished, Windows will restart normally.

  Kind regards

  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.
