WMP 10 not installing

Hi there,

I reinstalled my wmp 10 as i had mssed up the default settings on my
original one. While uninstalling, I thinkg i might have removed some
file/software that was required for WMP, i have no idea.

Now it gives me the following msg after i've downloaded and tried to run:

Windows Media Technologies
This version of windows media technologies is incompatible with this version
of windows. For more information, please see the microsoft website.

But i have windows XP and all the other requirements on the website. it was
workign just fine before i tried reinstalling it!

Please help.

THanks.
