Both WMP and Media Centre no longer working
I posted this in the Music, Pictures & Video forum, but no reply there so thought I'd try here.

Both WMP and Media Centre no longer working
Hey guys
My PC woes started a few weeks ago - I had RAM issues which I have since solved. However, during the course of trying to diagnose the memory problem, I installed and uninstalled a myriad of programs.
And now my Media Player won't play, while Media Centre crashes if I go to the Music or Video sections (Live TV seems to be fine though). If I start WMP from the taskbar shortcut, the window flashes up briefly before disappearing. If I try to start it by double clicking an audio file, I get the "Server Execution Error" message.
I've tried disabling all media features in the Windows Features section, and then re-enabling. This did not work.
Note that iTunes works perfectly, playing the same mp3s that are crashing WMP.
I'd really rather not have to reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate edition just for this one problem...
