  Hi Vmariedanielle,

  1. who is the edition of Windows that is installed on the computer?
  2. when exactly you get the error message?

  There is no option to remove the Windows Media Player in Windows XP. First of all, we recommend to search for Media Player on XP.

  Note: Windows XP Home Edition N and Windows XP Professional N editions do not have Windows Media Player. If you use one of these editions, you must download and install Windows Media Player.
  See the Description of Windows XP Home Edition N and Windows XP Professional N
  

  To download and install Windows Media Player, try the following steps:
  a. visit http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-media-player
  b. download Windows for your Windows Media Player and install it.

  Note: You will be prompted to validate your windows before you download the program. Support for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) ended on July 13, 2010.

• Problems with error Windows Media Player, that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

  We have a computer that is running Windows 7 and (I think) Windows Media Player 12.  When I start ==> all programs ==> windows media player, the program starts and it seems to work.  It is a work computer, so no video or audio file is saved.

  We have an online seminar that the user wants to participate in, and when we click on the link to get the webinar, an error message appears saying that Windows Media Player is not installed on the computer.

  We use Firefox (version reasonably updated, but do not know which) for internet.

  I used the "fix it" tool on the website of Microsoft, but that does not solve anything.  He said it sets some configuration settings.  I thought that maybe uninstall and reinstall it can work, but I can't understand completely uninstall because it isn't in my list of programs in the control panel.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks for any ideas you may have.

  (Moved to programs)

  Uninstall and reinstall could be done by searching for and opening the option "turn on or off Windows features", but I don't think it will help.

  Instead, what you need is a Windows Media Player plugin for your browser (Firefox).

  But before you spend effort on it, I would test to see if it's really the solution.  Try to join your webinar with Internet Explorer (where the WMP plugin is built).  If it works, you can be reasonably sure to know how to make it work with Firefox.

  4. What is the type of internet connection you use?

  It's the first time you try to play online videos if due to an internet connection slow or installed on the computer security software.

• Windows media player - "you need to update DirectX version 8.1 or higher" when you try to convert WMA files to MP3 with Jodix files

  My nephew has recently tried to convert wma into mp3 files so I could put on my mp3 player. He used Jodix and everything seems to be going as planned until we try to get the songs from Windows Media Player. A message: you need to update DirectX version 8.1 or higher. Well, I tried to download from Windows and got a message saying that I already have the latest version of DirectX. So back to Jodix and found another message that says: I may need to update Windows Media Player to version 7.1 or later version. Only, I don't know what version I have (sorry, I can't find the information). And I don't even know what to do if I found the info. Really, I just want to make my purchases from Wal-Mart (purchased several years as wma) to play on my mp3 player. Can someone help me? I would like your advice. Thank you!
