Does anyone know how to go about restoring WMP 64-bit to default settings. One used to be able to roll back to WMP 10, then reinstall 11. But that is apparently not an option anymore. Also not an option, so please spare me the posts, is a system restore; the problem occurred too long ago.

Here's what is going on. I used to be able to click on any VOB file in a DVD folder, and WMP would play the DVD. Somehow I broke that ability, messing around with codecs or settings or who knows what. So I want to go back to square one as far as WMP goes without having to take all of Vista with me.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Try uninstalling all your codecs and see if that helps., If not, with hte codecs still uninstalled, run
Code: 
SFC /SCANNOW
to see if it can reset the WiMP to defaults.

Finally, you could try to reset WiMP as your default player to see if that helps.
