Basic problem : whenever I press "open file" - no matter what the conditions - WMP9 gives me the "sorry , program has to close" message. I can play files from the playlist just fine , no other problems , playback is a-ok.
Here's the bit that worries me - I D/L'ed the player again and installed it.
The problem's still there
Can anyone help me ?
Windows Media Player Sucks....
For Mp3 and audio files use Winamp
For videos use VideoLan or BS player
Clean out any old registry entries and then try reinstalling :)Quote:

Use regcleaner or some other program that cleans out the registry keys.
Looked up some old posts on regcleaner , and this came up :
Not that I'm scared or anything (:fear: ) , I just don't feel like messing with stuff I know jack about. Any idiot-proof way of fixing the problem? If not , is regcleaner noob-safe ?Quote:
everytime i tweak my reg, the system bombs out.
Then use some other registry cleaner. Tweak xp has one.Quote:

You will get an opportunity to make a backup of the registry first before cleaning it out.
I have installed programs that screwed up and reinstalled them again and again and they still screw up. But after cleaning out the registry the programs worked fine.
Having a tool that cleans out the registry is a good thing to have anyway since a cluttered registry can actually slow your box down :)
Regcleaner the free one is amost idiot proof. Its amazing the first time you run it.Clean up uninstaller, s .Programs you thought you deleted . Has a back up feature but never had to use it . B)

Had a hard time finding this i GUESS Jouni sold out ! Not that I blame him! :lol:
Fred just leave the DLL 's alone you'll be fine.
I had the same problem with wmp9. Problem was fixed by uninstalling k-lite codec pack (in my case 2.24 full) and then reinstalling it (without compression).
