    Hi DragLee,

     
    Windows Media Player is the default or integrated drive in Windows Vista. It can't be uninstalled or reinstalled. However, if a system file is missing or damaged, we can run sfc (System File Checker) scan to find and fix system files corrupted.
     
    Try these steps and check the result.
    Step 1: Scan of the sfc
    1. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
    2. type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow
    3 restart the computer once the analysis is complete.
    4. check if the problem persists.
     
    For more information, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
     
    Step 2: If the problem persists, perform the system restore to a date where the media player was working fine
    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
    4. click on finish.
     
    I hope this helps.

  • I installed Photoshop CC now when I download my older camera images in Adobe Bridge and try to open in Photoshop it says file not found

    I have two old cameras, a Canon Powershot SX40 and a Sony DSC - H2. Today, I downloaded Photoshop CC and when I try to open all the images that I downloaded on the bridge of one of these cameras, I get a message "Could not complete your request because the file cannot be found". I can see these image files in the Finder, Adobe Bridge, Illustrator and can open InDesign is. Help, what do I do to be able to open my photos in Photoshop?

    If you have an older version of the Mac operating system, this error may result from last camera raw update.

  • When I try to open a program, a box appears asking what program I want to use to open the file. Even when I try to open Internet Explorer.Any idea that would entail, and how to fix it?

    If I click with the right button on a program, and then click Run as and uncheck the protect my computer box that open programs very well.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • When I try to open a program, a window opens asking what I would use to open the program. Why?

    I can right click on some of my desktop icons and click Start to get the program running, but not for all.  The window that opens tells me to choose a program I want to open the file.  I don't know why it does this.  It all started yesterday.  Some programs like itunes will still not open.  A small window pops up that says: Application not found.      Help!

  • Microsoft's Jet in Win7 database error when you try to open a program

    Running Windows 7 Ultimate

    We have two programs that are essential to our activities, making use of files using file extensions <.mdb>and <.dld>.

    We have not used a program for a few weeks and now Windows Update, updates including Service Pack 1 installed.

    Later, I opened one of the programs, and he opened with a window in the middle of it which announced:

    It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data. >

    I looked at the file in the program folder and its icon is passed under vacuum to show as a Microsoft Jet db file. So I changed it to associate only with the program who tried to open it. Then I tried again and got the following error:


    It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data. >

    I tried to re - associate the <.dld>but it did not.

    Last thing I tried was to open the same program and files on a laptop as we go out to workplaces. He worked as always. I looked at the <.mdb>extension and its icon was/is always empty. This laptop has downloaded and installed the updates today, but still is to be restarted - that I have not done. I guess they are the same updates.

    I have heard of problems with SP 1... What is a likely culprit? Should I try a system restore? Or is it perhaps something else?
