Dont't you want to use any other player? I know you feel need to use Media player,but if you tell me what do you need it for,then I might be able to suggest you other player. There are many softwares that do the same type job but much better than Media player. I'm not saying that your problem can't be fixed,but using another player software will take much less time that fixing Media player problem

Other media players already installed but I need to get it to work..

Without reinstalling windows.

i replaced the file only at one location at c windows sysmte32
but when i searched it it seems to exits at a lot of other locations as shown in below screen shot ..
further more the sfc found corrutp file wht below details.

[l:14{7}]"wmp.dll" of Microsoft-Windows-MediaPlayer-Core, Version = 6.1.7601.18840, pA

any idea ?

Bump..

1: after taking ownership and granting admin full rights does any thing needs to be reverted?

2: when I searched the file in c drive as shown in above post it's shown at a lot of places. Which one to repair each one is in a bit different place.
