Good idea. I checked, but the Live Messenger plugin wasn't active, and I
don't have neither the Live toolbar nor the MSN media bar.
I even tried uninstalling all codec packs, to no avail.
Isn't there a "repair installation" function for the Media Player? Short of
reinstalling Windows - which I don't fancy doing - I don't see any other
options.
