Hi all,
Got some major issues on the windows media player (wmp) front...
Firstly - in wmp I have no options. only burn tab, the rest are gone. Have tried several things, however none with luck... tried to access from different tabs etc. nothing.

secondly (I think as a result of the above) I can't play online radio, a red cross comes up, very annoying!

hope for your help!

You try removing windows media player from the windows features list?

If not, then do so by unchecking windows media player and once that is done install windows media player again by just putting a check next to it.

Thanks for the reply..

As far as I can see, media player isn't under that list... could be me, but doesn't like it's there.

Oops, keep on forgetting this is windows vista not xp where it has that option.

Anyhow try this. The last post method should work.

Well...

That was a long way to do it...

However - all I want to do is revert WMP back to original state, if this is not somewhow possible - I'll be extremeley annoyed, they can't just assume that their embedded software works all the time...
