Windows Media Player 10+ Fraps "The specified module could not be found."

**Ajak25** · 05-07-2009

I recently got fraps and I keep running into this error "The specified module could not be found." It's not fraps because it happens whenever I try to play any movie. Even streaming it from the homepage... I don't know the error code as it doesn't say but here are my system specs...

I also had many problems with my Media player but i have never come across this much lengthy error message, I will just suggest you to Uninstall the complete application and re-install it again, this may repair or reinstall your drivers again.
If still any problem would be there please let me know, till that i will found any other solution to your problem.

Windows Media Player relies on separate software components to perform various functions (for example, to play DVDs, it requires that separate DVD-decoder software be installed, and to burn CDs, the current drivers for your CD burner must be installed). This error tells you that the Player is trying access a module (a .dll file) for one of these components, and it's either not registered, damaged, or missing. Because it can be difficult to identify the exact component that is causing the error, we recommend that you contact a Microsoft technical support professional to help you correct the problem. To contact a support professional, see the Microsoft Help and Support Web page.
