Errors Using Windows Media Player

Hi,

I installed Windows media player 10 a couple of weeks ago everything was fine for two hours and then there seemed to be a problem as it wouldnt play any files. It said "Windows media player has encountered a problem and needs to close" then the program closed, it sayes this everytime i tried to play a file

So I rolled back to WMP 8 (using add remove programs) to which came with my system but is still wont let me play anything as this message still comes up when trying to play a file.

I have tried to reinstall both versions 10 and 9 but they will not install as when i am trying to install that message keeps coming back.

Does anyone have any ideas on what to do (i tried doing a system restore but for some odd reason my machine wouldnt allow me to do it)

Its just for the last two weeks i have been using Zoomplayer as an alternitive but today i wanted to watch an adultbouncer movie and i couldnt because it needs DMS to play i did try but i couldnt get zoom player to play it (it is the version that should play DMS but like i say i couldnt get it to play), so it looks like WMP is the only thing that will play these types of files.

Thanks for any help you can provide

 

Thanks but i tried and it still wont let me install it, when i try to install that message comes up during the install process and cant go any further.

 

Thanks but it still doesnt work, any suggestions

 

No i had the problem, couldnt seem to fix it so i downloaded zoom player as a temporary measure.
