Hey every one

Well short and simple I deleted my Windows media player 12 is it? From windows 7 and I simply can not install it because I have tried getting the files from some one else and it says you have a newer version and you can not install an older version,

So I need some help? I am not sure how to do a repair.

Well I can't find what you have stated in add/remove programs, I accidently deleted it and the files are still on my computer and it won't give me access to delete them, and I can't install any new files, so i am just confused right now >_>

Both of you guys are on the right track.

If he mucked in the actual WMP files then he may still need the Repair Install.

Back up your files first.
