Media Player 11 (11.0.6000.6344)

I updated my media player last week and now it wont play videos. Get a
message saying that some of my video files are missing and to reboot. Doesnt
help. When I try to download again, I get a message saying that I have
version 11.0.6000.6344 already installed and they cant fix or reinstall with
that on. Nothing I do seems to delete this file...not even in the registry.
Any help? thanks

What's the precise error message text that you get?

It says that I am missing some video files and to reboot which does not help.
When I try to redownload, it tells me that I already have a better version
(11..6000.6344) and cannot fix or download over that. I have tried to
uninstall, but nothing works.

You cannot possibly install Windows Media Player 11 onto any normal Vista
system: please don't try, you're just banging your head against a wall
there.

What is the precise text of the specific error message that you get? Those
specifics are really key to helping you best. =D

That implies to me that your video card driver or graphics adapter is not
functioning well. Does your vendor have a driver update available for the
video card?

*Version:* 7.14.10.1244

*Release Date:* 2007/06/01
The above is my video driver information and i believe it is the latest
driver that my vendor lenovo has provided..coz on lenovo's website it
does not allow me to download the package. I did check it on my notebook
by clicking ctrl + alt + F12 to get the information on my driver, and
the driver installed in my notebook is the above mentioned.
I don't understand wat i am supposed to do..?? should i try and contact
my vendor lenovo itself. ?? or if u have some other suggestion could you
please notify me. thank you.

That driver is from nVidia, right? Doesn't nVidia's site have a 7.15
release?

No it is not an nvidia driver. it is an Intel graphics card..!!

What's the full and complete name of this component? You only listed the
version number before, not the name, which is/was confusing. =)

Given the data provided, I would focus on trouble-shooting the video card /
video card driver if I were you.

Hi every1... I`ve got a bit of a problem with my media player...
The thing is, my pc is working on both xp and vista... It came with
vista, and I requested that xp be installed... It seems that when XP was
installed on top of vista it copied it`s wmp.exe to the vista media
player folder, so when ever I try to start wmp, I get this message:
The file wmplayer.exe has a version nuber of 11.0.5721.5145 where
11.0.6000.6344 was expected... Vista won`t let my install the version
again from the internet...Any ideas??? HELP!!!!

Your system install is invalid. I have no idea what they did to get into
that state, but it's certainly interesting.

You would want to format the box and start over. I could probably get you
limping along, but the specific error you get indicates some frightening
confusion in your registry that is indicative of some wacky XP installation
technique.
