windows media player keeps reverting to install screen

Posted: 09-03-2004, 07:16 PM
There could be a bug in the system. Go to lavasoft and
down load the free se personal adware program to see if
there are any bugs. There is also moosoft for trogans 30
day trial on that one and try trend micro for viruses.
Norton system works would work fairly well and correct
the problem if you have it. If all else fails you would
probably would have to repair you operating system. I
don't know what kind of operating system you are using
but if it is xp you can repair it using the operating
disk. Good Luck

This means that you do not have registry privileges to write to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer. Do you have SAPinst.exe
on this system? That can cause this problem...
