I Need To Reinstall My Windows Media Center

Hello,

I (long story) uninstalled Windows Media Player. I need help getting the proper download at MS. What to do? Also, I want to install another media player like VLC but the CNet website's free download won't work. I realize I am asking for two different things here if someone doesn't mind multitasking for me.

I have a Windows7 Home Premium 64 bit laptop.

Thanks,
Anne

Here are two links for you-

VLC-
MG Search - MajorGeeks


Windows Media Player -
MG Search - MajorGeeks

Good luck!:)

Hello PSCO2007,

Help! When I tried to download either program I got the 'This Page Can't Be Displayed' message. What to do?

Anne

Try these links.

If having trouble, try Safe Mode with Networking.

Let me know how you made out.

VideoLAN - Official page for VLC media player, the Open Source video framework!

Did you uninstall WMP or just turn it off? Is so, just turn it back on again.

If you download another media player, go to the software developers site or filehippo, not Cnet as they tend to bundle unwanted goodies into the installers. VLC is ok, it will play most everything you throw at it.

Hello Paul,

I went to Safe Mode with Networking and I still got the 'This Page Can Not Be Displayed' page.

Disable your AV and firewall temporarily.
Are you able to download other programs?

I just disabled both and still get the 'Page Can Not Be Displayed' message.

Are you able to download any programs?

Can you try a different browser?

Anne,
Don't forget to reactivate your AV and firewall.

Also go to your programs and see if WMP is there and if so, pin to start menu.

If we can get VLC to download, you'll probably be happy with that anyway.
