I downloaded it and installed it but an error message showed right after it finished installing



:mad: , anyway i can fix this? thanx
 
the help button gave me shit, i opened it and it said "You've encountered error message 8007F00D while using Windows Media Player. Additional information is not currently available for this error"

and Windows XP came with this computer
 
I have the same error!

Hey I have the same problem. WMP will not run and I cannot install 10 or 11without getting the same type of error. I tried removing and reinstalling, same error. And by the way, my copy of XP is legal so the "illegal copy" theory is not the issue.:confused:
 
Which version of WMP11 are you using? Which OS are you on? & were you also connected online while installing? WMP11 takes additional steps installing if you are on MCE 2005 rather than regular XP and it requires an online connection. It will also not work on 2002 and 2004 versions of MCE.
 
I'm running XP Pro, SP2. The frustrating thing is that WMP10 worked fine. Now neither works after attempting to install 11. I get the same error with reinstalling 10 now. I tried installing 10 from the Disk, 11 from online. Not sure what version of MCE, where do I look? I'm beginning to suspect a registry problem.
 
Since you have XP, than this rules out MCE. You don't need to check for that. If you suspect a registry problem, it could be it if it's invalid keys have not been deleted. What you can do is uninstall everything, remove all folder traces after that. Then run a registry cleaner. There are many out there to name, but you can go to www.download.com and search for a free one.

Run a registry cleaner and have it clean up your registry of invalid paths. Then, try reinstalling it again to see how it goes.
 
Registry Repair does not seem to work

Thanks for the suggestions. Tried a freeware reg repair, no change, bought PC Tools Registry Mechanic, no change:confused: . Rolled back to WMP 10, same problem, rolled back to WMP 9, same problem. Manually deleted WMP source files and reran the registry repair, same error. Maybe a windows "hotfix" problem? Perhaps my fatal error was to leave windows updates turned on? I'm out of ideas.

Well, that could very well be the reason. All these fixes released by MS are to patch up these kind of things on their OS.
