Windows Media Player 11 will not load

[Guest]

I have a new computer running Vista Home Premium (32 bit). When I attempt to
start WMP, I get the following: file wmplayer.exe has a version number of
11.0.5721.5142 where 11.0.6000.6336 was expected. When I attempt to reload
from Microsoft site, it will not allow saying I have a more recent version.
How can I correct this? Don't tell to reload from disk as manufacture did
not supply one.
