Media Player 9

[MARK REINERS]

After recently doing a Trojan Horse-infection removal
operation, and then updating my XP system with all
current security patches ("Hotfixes"), I suddenly find
that my desktop Media Player icon (I'm running Media
Player 9) will not allow me to call up the media player
window on the screen to make selections from; e.g.,
radio, CD, movie previews, etc.. Ironically, I could do
so before removing the infection, and even though now,
after the new Hotfix installs, the player itself remains
functional when I visit media sites that invoke the
player to display news casts, etc. I'm stumped. Hope
someone can help cure this. Thank you.

Don't know what worm you removed, but it might be well to
consider the Sasser worm. The initial instance of Sasser
destroyed Windows Media Player.
