I have XP. Windows Media Player worked at one time. Now when I double click to go into it, it always comes back with a message that says "The page can not be displayed". Any ideas on how to get it working. When I actually go in, it comes up with the "Opening" window but quickly goes to the above message.

Snowberry, Are you clicking on a shortcut or on a media file? If it's a shortcut ...right-click on it and select properties. Then select the "shortcut" tab at the top. Look in the window labeled "target"... What does it say in that window? SullyD Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want...

It's a shortcut. It says .... "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" /prefetch:1

snowberry, Programs create "prefetch folders" that can become corrupt and that can be deleted. The program will automatically create a new one. Go here and scroll down for a "batch" program that will delete your prefetch files. This may solve your problem. SullyD Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want...

Another route would be to run the ACTUAL program, which will be found in the following folder, subsitutue C: for your drive where you have Program Files if different: - C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\ Double click wmplayer.exe This will provide a "fresh" link for the shortcuts. Safe Computing...:o)
