Hi, I'm new to this forum, stumbled here cause I've got the same problem.
also mp9 was gone
I restored with system restore, and had no mediaplayer at all left.
Still can't install WMP10, so I installed an older version that I still had on disk.
after this action the system restore will not restore anymore, and I have a problem with Icons not showing in the notification bar.

Anybody knows a solution???
thx
