| 1128824 | 2010-08-17 22:51:00 | I removed windows media player from my computer. Now I want it back. I can not find anywhere to download it from. Does anyone know how I can get it WITHOUT reinstalling windows. I want the win 7 64 bit version. Thanks |

Uninstalled, deleted, it's gone. Turning it on in turn windows features on won't bring it back |

Turning it on in turn windows features on won't bring it back How did you uninstall it? Did you delete the program's folder? If so, then the following should theoretically still work. Please check the windows features, Start>Control Panel>Turn windows features on or off> Media Features>Media Player If there is a tick in the media player box, remove it then exit and restart and go back and put the tick in the box again, restart. Let us know how it goes. |

| 1128829 | 2010-08-18 09:40:00 | Can't remember now, but I probably deleted the folder. Have tried the suggested , but no luck. I do not have a sound card or speakers. I use a headset. THe reason I deleted it was because Teamspeak kept setting Realtec as the receiver instead of Logitech head set. |

| 1128832 | 2010-08-18 10:06:00 | You can try the following, no idea if it will work or not. Click start, type in CMD, right click the CMD "Run as Administrator" type in sfc /scannow - press Enter. Since WMP is built into windows, System File Check " May" detect its not there and reinstall it. WMP is built in, so there is no separate Download for it. |

| 1128833 | 2010-08-18 10:19:00 | if it is a part of windows, would the "protected system folders" setting have prevented deleting it? | jareemon (5207) | ||
