What the heck!!

After removal of a backdoor trojan, I can't get Media Player v9.0 to work! And when I reinstall it says it is looking for "msdmo.dll". What the heck is thatHow can I remove Media Player and reinstall? Do I nee that .dll file? Does anyone know about nLite for removing Windows software?

 

Hi,

Please have a look here and I am sure you can download that dll somewhere.

Download .dll from where?

 

Are you running XP, fully patched?

 

Yes I am running XP. Fully patched?

 

Sound like you just need to find a copy of the .dll. If you cannot find one, PM me, and I will e-mail one to you.

I sure could use a copy of msdmo.dll!! Can't seem to get any answers as to where to get one??

 

The only place that I know of is from version 7 of the media player or from another computer. I have version 6.3.1.400 of the file. If you want it, PM (personal message) me with your e-mail address, and I will send it to you.

I downloaded the install program for Media Player 7, and I was able to extract the file with Winzip. You can do the same, or I can send it to you. The version number in the file is 4.90.2490.0. Or better yet, install seven and then update.

you can download the msdmo.dll at this link It is 11k download.

 

Once again, you have proven that you are The Man! The file is version 6.4.2600.0

 

Thanks all of you. I had a "duh!" while I was sitting at my home computer and realized that my son's laptop had the file so I copied it to a CD and loaded it onto my computer. Lo & behold WMP works! Thanks again. This is a good place for answers for a novice like myself!
