Media Player will not Load / Media Player and SP2 Issues

S

Stephen

I have just upgraded to Service Pack 2.

Since the upgrade i have noticed that Mediaplayer does
not work. When opened media player starts by displaying a
screen that gives you the impression its about to instal
but nothing happens.

I already had WMP9 installed before i upgraded to SP2.
According to MS this appears to be a known issue but i
cannot find a fix.

Because there is nothing to install it just stays on the
screen that you get when you first install.
--------------------------------------------------------

I have posted this before and i had one suggestion:

Load Media Player 10.

I have downloaded the 12 meg file to do this but on the
opening screen you are once again barred from accepting
the user licence meaning i cannot go any further.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

I use XP Pro and my machine ran like a dream until i
installed SP2. I have noticed a slow down in performance
since i have installed but i have yet to check for
updated drivers on my hardware.

I just looked down the list of "known" Microsoft products that sp2 screws up
and didn't see MP ( 9 or 10 ).

I may understand MP 10 being at odds with sp2 because it's a post sp2
released item and there is no guarantee the MP crew made it to work with
sp2.

MP 9 should work since it's an include in sp2.

A Microsoft product screws up a Microsoft product. Ya gotta just love it!
