Windows Media Player stops responding after you install a third-party product that registers its own version of the Wmp.dll file

I installed a media player from a third party, and when I uninstalled it, I clicked YES to delete all files attached to it. After that, I am unable to open all the files or upload files to try to solve the problem. Can anyone help?

Thank you

  • Windows Media Player - error C00D1198 when you listen to files online

    C00D1198

    I had the same problem over and over again with my Windows Media Player. He is not consistent, but it happens several times a day. When you try to listen to music on the net, I am having problems and receive an error code that reads C00D1198. I don't know what it means, and I would like to know how to avoid ever see that again. In addition, there were moments where I got Windows Media Player successfully, but after a while, the music would stop playing on its own.

    Hi Dazzlicious,

    Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server that hosts the content you want to listen to. You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

    1. The name of the server that hosts the content is not valid. If you typed an address Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in the Open URL dialog box, verify that the file name is spelled correctly and that the path to the file is correct, and then try again. If you clicked a link on a Web page, the link isn't valid.
    2. The server is not available (for example, the server is busy or not online). Try again later.
    3. For Windows Media Player proxy server settings are not configured correctly. Verify that your proxy server settings are correct.

    Follow the steps in the article below to check your proxy server settings
