Windows Media Player 11- Vista

WMP stopped working a few days ago and I get the standard message about
Windows searching for a solution etc. Every timy I try opening it's the
same -no solutions offered. My question is twofold:-
1. Any ideas or suggestions
2. Can I reinstall WMP and if so how? It will not uninstall in the normal
manner- nor can I seem to find any download location for WMP 11 (Vista)?
Help please!

Just uninstall WMP from programs. And then Download WMP 11 from
download.microsoft.com. That should fix your issue.

I decided SEVERAL TIMES not to install WMP 11.

Boy, am I happy I did that!

Because you don't have Vista! It comes with Vista and there is no way to get
rid of it or reinstall it. If you need to reinstall media player you have to
reinstall Vista.
