Registry Key for WMP11

[keegs]

Hi,

I'm suck at this stuff hence i've got myself in a situation. My media player 11 kept freezing when i'd try to rip more than 1 cd all of a sudden. I'd reboot then it would be fine again for only 1 cd. So i started reading forums on how to uninstall and reinstall media player. One said i had to delete the entire key from the registry then when i rebooted it would ask me to reinstall. It didn't happen. Now WMP opens and will play music but when i try to rip a cd it says it cannot do it and offers no reason. I'm running 32bit vista ultimate. I've tried the cumulative update for WMP but it says i have a newer version of it installed so it can't continue. Also i wasn't provided with a copy of vista with the computer so i cant reinstall that either can i?

Thanks in advance

Hi Keegs,

How long ago did this start happening?

Have you tried to download WMP onto your computer and install it that way?

It started happening about a week ago when i was putting all my cd's onto the comp. It did about 80 just fine then just started freezing in the middle of it.

Yeah I have tried installing media player again, it tries to validate windows and fails. Then it opens a validation page that never finishes processing. But in other cases it has been validated without opening the validation page.

Thanks again guys

I had the same problem with XP SP3 on my laptop. It was a validation error that was causing all the problems.
