117117 2003-01-29 12:11:00 I've killed my "Play with Media Player" option on the right-click menu.

Windows cannot find 'wmplayer.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search .......................

Kind of message comes up. The file does exist in the right place. Only thing I can think I've done is that I tried to rename some files so that something else opened, but it's all where it should be.

Try WinAmp 2.XX or WinAmp3, does the same thing :-) IMHO its much nicer than WMP but it doesnt have burning facilities :(

117122 2003-01-31 04:04:00 Yeah uninstalled stick to mplayer2.exe when I need it which is not all that often, WA3 and Zoomplayer do what I need. -=JM=- (16)
117123 2003-01-31 21:53:00 You haven't recently installed Winamp 3 have you?? I had the EXACTLY same problem where Winamp 3 and WMP didn't play very nicely together, lost the menu etc...

Upgrading to WMP 9 resolved any problems I had...

Lo.

117124 2003-02-01 01:39:00 Yeah there were a couple of things which it could have been. I tried to rename wmplayer.exe but when i renamed it the original seemed to jumo back, darned file protections.

Also I had installed a winamp3 beta now that you mention it.

117125 2003-02-01 05:40:00 Hmmm... It actually happened to me 2 weeks ago... dunno if Winamp 3 was still beta then or not??

Oh well, hope it's all sorted out now...

Lo.

117126 2003-02-01 06:04:00 nah it was a beta of a new release of winamp3 that I tried. -=JM=- (16)
