Vista Tutorial - Media Player 11 (11.0.6000.6344)

I updated my media player last week and now it wont play videos. Get a
message saying that some of my video files are missing and to reboot. Doesnt
help. When I try to download again, I get a message saying that I have
version 11.0.6000.6344 already installed and they cant fix or reinstall with
that on. Nothing I do seems to delete this file...not even in the registry.
Any help? thanks

What's the precise error message text that you get?

It says that I am missing some video files and to reboot which does not help.
When I try to redownload, it tells me that I already have a better version
(11..6000.6344) and cannot fix or download over that. I have tried to
uninstall, but nothing works.

You cannot possibly install Windows Media Player 11 onto any normal Vista
system: please don't try, you're just banging your head against a wall
there.

What is the precise text of the specific error message that you get? Those
specifics are really key to helping you best. =D

That implies to me that your video card driver or graphics adapter is not
functioning well. Does your vendor have a driver update available for the
video card?

Version: 7.14.10.1244 Release Date: 2007/06/01
The above is my video driver information and i believe it is the latest driver that my vendor lenovo has provided..coz on lenovo's website it does not allow me to download the package. I did check it on my notebook by clicking ctrl + alt + F12 to get the information on my driver, and the driver installed in my notebook is the above mentioned.
I don't understand wat i am supposed to do..?? should i try and contact my vendor lenovo itself. ?? or if u have some other suggestion could you please notify me. thank you.

That driver is from nVidia, right? Doesn't nVidia's site have a 7.15
release?

No it is not an nvidia driver. it is an Intel graphics card..!!

to zachd [MSFT] :

Here is the exact error message I recieve on my Dell Inspiron 1501 with ATi Xpress hardware and Vista Basic 32-bit:

The file wmplayer.exe has a version number of 11.0.6000.6324 where 11.0.6000.6344 was expected.

Windows Media Player is not installed properly and must be reinstalled.

Do you want to install the Player from the Microsoft Website?
