Window Media Player

Using Windows ME, I guess I must have accidentally deleted my WMP. The
status is this:
start/all prog/acc/entertainment/ sound recorder,vol control,Windows Media
Player. Windows Millenium Peview.
When I click Windows Media Player - it give me the Play Control where we do
all the vol settings. When Iclick the Preview, it gives me a demo. Question
is how do I get back my Windows Media Player. Do I go and download WMP 7.1
and just install like that.Please advice and many thanks for your assistance

Windows Millennium Preview doesn't use WMP. What happens if you play a
music file such as one of the wav files in the windows\media folder?

Depending on how long ago you removed WMP, if indeed you have done so, you
could try using System Restore to restore your system to the state it was
in before WMP was removed by choosing a checkpoint that predates the
removal. Alternatively, assuming that you have never installed WMP9,
download and install WMP7.1. If you have at some stage installed WMP9,
then download and reinstall WMP9.

If I do Windows Update, doesn't it automatically update/install WMP9?. I
guess I will try to install wmp7.1 and if it doesn't work, will remove it
from Add/Remove? Then install wmp9, am I correct?. Thanks

No. You select what you want to install from the items offered.

I guess I will try to install wmp7.1 and if it doesn't work,
will remove it from Add/Remove?

You won't find WMP7.1 in Add/Remove in the same way you won't find WMP9
(if you install it) in Add/Remove.

Then install wmp9, am I correct?.

Which is what I suggested in my first e-mail however you still haven't
mentioned what happens when you try to play a music file, or a video clip
(wmv, mpg or the like).

As I stated in my previous post you will not find an Uninstall entry for
any of WMP7, WMP7.1 or WMP9 in Add/Remove Programs. Have you tried
reinstalling WMP7.1?

Robert, I'm glad you 'sorted out' your WMP problems...it would have been nice
of you to explain how you did so. Perhaps you'll 'visit' your thread and
provide that information.
