Restoring Windows Media Player in Vista

Restoring Windows media player ( WMP ) in vista can be done in several ways. I have discussed two methods below to solve your problem techniocally.

  1. Reinstallation of Vista
  2. Restoration of Windows Media player ( WMP )



1. I would not recommend to use this way unless you are affected by some virus. 
        For Reinstallation of Vista                             
  •     Reboot your machine from the Vista DVD and
  •     Go through the installation process again
2. This is the most widely used way and I recommend you to try


         1.  Goto regedit 
                 (Use the Following steps to go to regedit
                           1. go to start in vista

                           2. press run
                           3. type regedit)
         2. Next goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE which is present in the left hand side
  
         3. Next click SOFTWARE

         4. Then click Microsoft


         5. Finally you will see there a folder named "Mediaplayer"

   Delete "Mediaplayer" folder and restart/reboot your vista.
            
   Now Vista will detect the absence of WMP and ask you to reinstall it.


If you want any other method or if you don't understand the steps comment me you will get reply within 24 hours.
