I am runing PPC 2002 A04 on my X5 400Mhz Advanced. This includes WMP 8.5 (I Think)

When I tap the WMP Icon the "wait" clock does a couple of revolutions but WMP does not load.

In the Program Files Folder there is a WMP Folder which contains two small 1k files. I have deleted this folder, done a Backup using Sprite Backup and the done a Hard Reset, to restore the Axim to is "as new" state. WMP then runs correctly and the WMP Folder in Program Files is re-created.

If I then restore my backup the problem returns and WMP will not load. I can only assume that there is a Registry entry causing this. I am no Registry expert, but there does not seem to be very much in the Registry about WMP.

Some time ago I downloaded an Upgrade for WMP PPC 2002 from the Microsoft download site. This may have caused the problem. It was listed in "Remove Programs" and I have removed it.This download is no longer listed.

Has anyone any ideas ?
