Find help and how-to information for your version of Windows Media Player. Learn about the features and how to fix problems. If Windows Media Player stopped working correctly after the latest updates from Windows Update, verify that the updates are the problem by using System Restore.

To do this:. Select the Start button, and then type system restore. Follow the prompts to select the restore point just before the round of updates that seemed to trigger the problem. Then run the system restore process. This takes a while. After your system is restored to the earlier configuration, check to see whether Windows Media Player runs correctly again.
