  (b) in the search box, type Device Manager.

  on your hard drive? Or... you can download the file to your hard drive
  by car, but simply cannot display it?

  If you right click the executable for Windows Media Player and
  in the menu choose... Properties / Compatibility tab is...
  Windows 95, chosen for Compatibility Mode? If_Yes_try
  unchecking the box / apply / OK.
