help

Of a technological nature. A few weeks ago, the Windows Media Player that came with my computer apparently deleted itself. The icon disappeared from my desktop, and whenever I try to open it, the little exclamation point pops up to tell me that an internal application error has occurred.

I did not do anything to deserve this, I swear. I didn't do a damn thing to the player. I don't even recall if I was playing music with it when it disappeared. Any idea as to what might have happened, and if I can fix it/get a new version? Barring that, how can I burn songs from CD to my hard drive using either the Musicmatch jukebox or WinAmp?

It really annoyed me. I've gotten used to PowerDVD for movies, but I'd still rather play music using the Media Player.

I believe you can reinstall it through the Microsoft website. If that doesn't work run an update for Windows off of the website and it should be able to fix the problem. Have you run any diagnostics on the puter in a while?

Okay, is not working. I deleted my version, downloaded the new one, installed it, and got the exact same interal application error when I tried to open it.

Grrrr. This is so frustrating.

Hmmm. Well then I have no idea what could be the problem. A reinstall should work. There is probably something more wrong with it than that can fix.

Have you tried looking at the help files and troubleshooting on the media player website?

No, but I think I might call a hotline or something. I've suspected there's something wrong with my computer for awhile now, but as it wasn't life-threatening, I kept letting it go, and letting it go, and THEN IT ATE MY WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER.

Well good luck with that and all. Windows can be a bastard for no apparent reason sometimes.

Musicmatch has a fun little button on the left navigation side that says 'Copy from CD'...you can also 'Burn to CD' using Musicmatch also. I actually like it, but to each's own!

I don't know crap about computers, but your icon just reminded me that my boyfriend is the hottest thing on legs.

*has a moment*

Thanks.

*has another, for good measure*
