Windows Media player has stopped working

My system has been hard rebooting due to a bad video driver... now if I start windows medis player if greys out on me and says: "Windows Media player has stopped working".

Is there a way to uninstall WMP and then reinstall it to fix the issue. I have done a check disk but that did not help. Do you thin a sfc /scannow would help?

What's the specific fault information for that crash according to the
Problem Reports and Solutions Center control panel?
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#bucket
will show you how to look that up if you don't know how.

Re: Windows Media player has stopped working


Some large percentage of player crashes are due to bogus third party codecs
or drivers, though, so if it is caused by that, he's just hiding the problem
temporarily and it might crash Nero / GOMPlayer / DivXPlayer down the line.

I totally respect switching players around by choice, but fleeing from
crashes is potentially inadvisable until you can at least identify the
crash. I'll try to help with that where I can. =)
