333742 2005-03-14 00:34:00 This has happened to me twice now.
WMP 9 installed. But won't open! I can attempt to start thr prog via the start menu or click on a video file (displaying the WMP icon) and nothing! No entry in task manager either. I can open it via winamp or DivX

The first time this happened it magically re-appeared (I think at the time I uninstalled a codec(s) from the system) but now it is gone again.
I do have 3rd party codecs installed - is this a known thing?
It seems I often need to go online to retrieve codecs because a video file will not play correctly.

Thanks
