Windows Media Player has stopped working

Posted under Media Player, Vista by ifoundafix

The other day while browsing the Internet I Found A Fix for a recent problem I was having. The issue is described as follows;

For some reason Windows Media player stopped working on Vista. I tried to reinstall but no luck.  Whenever i tritecd to open a media file i received the error “Windows Media Player has stopped working (Vista RC1 b5600)

The solution and description to this error is set out below;

If you are using Satellite TV for PC or have recently removed it, you will need to delete the file wmp.dll

I would like to acknowledge the assistance and thank http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=745594&SiteID=17 for providing me with this solution

I hope you too have Found A Fix!
