After installing this program after a particularly bad
bout of spyware, I went to play some soothing music only
to find my computer refuses to open Windows Media
Player..... it doesnt display any dialoug, it just makes
and error sound effect when i click on medai player. Has
anyone else had this problem?
 
Zeke,

If you uninstall, does the problem resolve itself? I have not heard of this
happening to anyone yet.

You're copy of Media Player may have been damaged by the
spyware attached to it and their forced removal. I'd
recommend uninstalling and re-installing Media Player.

To do this access Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove
Software -> Add/Remove Window's Components. Uncheck
Windows Media Player and hit OK. Then restart your
computer. Now repeat the previous steps, this time
checking Windows Media Player. Instead of restarting your
machine access www.windowsupdate.com and download the
latest updates for Win Media. This should take care of
any corrupted files.

I had the same problem. Installed and ran the Spyware
program and Media Player would not work. No error message
or anything, it just wouldn't work. Uninstalled and re-
installed MediaPlayer and it's fine now.
