Windows Media 32-bit Player has stopped working with the error "failed to run the server.

Original title: Windows Media Player does not start

I am running window 8.1 on a HP laptop.  I have the two 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Media Player installed, I can start 64-bit with no problem, but 32 bit work do not.  When I try to play music directly I get the error "Server execution failed", I tried all the option provide fron uninstall and reinstall as has been suggested, but nothing helped.  I need to have the 32-bit to run or have the 64-bit by default. Help!

Thanks for the reply, but after working with it, I solved the problem.

1. rename the program (x 86) folder (32-bit) / Windows Media Player for everything you want

2 copy the Windows Media Player folder in the Program Files (64-bit) folder and paste it into the program file (x 86) folder.

3. This puts an uncorrupted in the default path, Windows Media Player

This worked very well for me.  It also leaves a version uncorrupted for future needs.

Sometimes simple is better.
