no just download windows media player 10 from microsoft.com the download should install wmp and any components needed to use it. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...0/default.aspx
if reinstalling it doesnt work see if you can use the system restore to go back to a date when it did work.

get another media player
try a system restore if this is a recent problem then you probably have a date that you can restore to.

goto start-->all programs-->accesories-->system tools-->System restore.
this process might be different if you are using an earlier version of windows and not windows xp. and yes i did mean get another media player but not real player you need something that can play anything.
