WMP suddenly won't open??

Shazbot · 02-04-04, 09:58 PM

Trying to open my WMP and it won't for some reason. I click on the program icon and it looks like it's trying to open, and then nothing. I've tried resetting the Axim. Still nothing. Tried assigning one of my buttons to open it. Still nothing. It always worked fine before now. Any ideas? PPC2002, wmp7.5

Take a look at this thread.

Thanks, but I have a question... Where is this registry that this person is speaking of? I can't seem to find it on my PPC. Thanks.

>>I found recent backup where windows media player actually worked. After some time comparing the registries with WinDiff, and trying to set registry keys in the non-working registry with values from the working registry one by one, I found the problem.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\4
0C5
...contained the values:
BtnWnd =dword:0
Flags=dword:0
WndCls=""

You will need a registry editor, such as PHM Registry Editor. Keep in mind that if you run into problems, you may have to do a hard reset. Good luck!
