Windows 7: WMC crashes upon entering the video section every time please help

yes i do have the newest version

Does your registry cleaners reserve backups of the registry cleaning operations??? Might as well try to restore those, reboot then see if it goes any better. I think most registry cleaners have backup options. I use registry cleaners but I am careful and I reserve registry backups if needed.

Have you tried malware scans to see if a virus or something is causing this??? People on this forum will recommend you to use Malwarebytes but that might take some time to update.

If these options were to fail as well, the most practical solution would be a fresh reinstall of the operating system.

to be honest the only time i have ever messed with the registry is when videos stopped showing up in the video folder to which i was given stuff to put into word pad and save a .reg file and run. it fixed the problem and that was about 2-3 months before this problem.

Yes, its possible to create new .reg files from Wordpad or Notepad to replace what might have gone missing or damaged in the Registry but we can't be sure which key, specifically should we trace this problem into. Its possible to fix but its not easy.

now at its saying it cannot connect to my xbox at all

try clearing all the files in the DRM cache folder:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM\Cache

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM\Cache
