Hi all! I am new to the site so it's good to be here!

I experience a little problem with windows medial player 11.

Recently, and after I have installed-unistalled some programs (like avi to vcd etc.), I try to open with wmp11 an avi file and I get the usual error message "windows media payer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" and the error report says "appname: wmplayer.exe, appver: 11.0.5721.5145 ModName: unknown, ModVer: 0.0.0.0 offset: 00000000".

When I try to play an audio file or a wma file everything works fine. But when I try to open an avi or an mpeg file I get the above error message and then the wmp closes down.

Can anyone help? Do you know what is wrong and how can I fix it?
Everything was working perfectly before.
I thank you very much in advance for your assistance.

When that error comes up, does it give you the option of sending or not sending reports?
If so - try sending the report and see if they offer any kind of advice...or patches.

I tried this in the past with other errors but had no lack. That is why I am asking for your help, since I trust you experts more...
If someone has any idea about fixing the problem or has encountered the same problem, please advise.
