Cannot install WMP 11
I've been having problems playing some media fileswith WMP, checking out what version I have it's WMP 9, rather strange because I assumed when I purchased W7 Home Premium and did a fresh install (machine originally had Vista installed) that I would have a newer version of the player.
Tried to update from the player option tab and am told I already have the newest version, very confused here!
I've checked the disc and unlike previous versions of Windows you don't get the option to install other programme, I'm sure we had this option on XP discs.
Downloaded WMP11 and it asked to validate, validation passed yet when I try to install WMP it again asks for validation and again passes, I've been going round in circles here.
Services tells me I Have Software Protection enabled.
I did do a fresh installation and not an upgrade so I believed WMP12 was included with 7 and should have installed, this was done last year and never any problems until now, as I rarely use WMP just the the Media Centre I'd never bothered to check the version of WMP until now.
Can anyone give me any help on this please. Thankyou.
