Vista-- Media Player 11

Posted: 11-26-2006, 03:05 PM
OK;

I am very new to Vista. How do you uninstall/reinstall Media Player 11 in
Vista Ultimate?

I am getting Codec problem in WMP11, so one recommendation was to reinstall
it.

If anyone knows, please let me know.

Thank you

It's not quite the same as uninstall in XP but...

Go to Control panel -> Programs and Features, Select "Turn Windows features
on or off" (on left hand side), Uncheck Win media player, then "OK"

Similar to turn it back on

Hi,

You can't uninstall/reinstall the media player, it part of Vista. The
problem is more likely to be the codec itself rather than the media player,
it may not function correctly under this media player version and require an
update.

What you are describing seems more like a Codec problem than a problem with
WMP11 itself. Can we have a little bit more information? What is the error
you are seeing? Is it a video that will not play? If so, what file
extention is the file you are trying to view?

This information will help us to get a better idea of your situation so we
can help you resolve it.

Chris

As with XP the 'uninstall' only removes shortcuts to it. See the message
you get when you try.
