Default [Resolved] WMP 11 not working right.

Media player is giving me some trouble. It will play almost anything, movies tv shows without any problems. (except for missing codecs for some) but about 2 weeks ago i couldnt get any music to play. It will play, the progress bar will move normally, just no sound. It plays fine in other players just not WMP.

I have tried the all in one codec packs, codec tools to find broken ones. System restore will only go back to when sp1 came out. Ive tried Sfc/scannow. I even tried using the Vista disc to do a repair but i just got an error and couldnt do it.

Any ideas?

WMP 11 ?
It's free-- download/reinstall-- That's what I do-- you could spend a lot of time trying to troubleshoot-- and install takes 5 minutes.

Windows Media Player 11

How it could be an older version...? I don't know. Perhaps because it is Vista--Do you have the Vista install disc ?
In any case --you could unninstall the curent one-- then edit the registry-- or run a scanner to remove the leftovers.
Then Reboot, download, reinstall.

Ive looked for ways to uninstall it but its connected to Vista somehow and ive read if i uninstall it it will mess up Vista. But how could i uninstall it with the Vista Disc? I'll try that to see if it works.

You should be able to remove it from add/remove... but this is Vista-- which is precisely why I don't have it.
Sometimes you have to run the install to UNinstall ?
