[Resolved] Internal application error in Media Player

[schoolmarm]

Hi...

I tried to see a video attachment and was told media player couldn't open. I tried to open it from the Start menu and got "internal application error".

I downloaded MP9 Upgrade, thinking it would correct the problem, but it didn't. I continue to get the error message.

I would appreciate any help.....I want to watch Curling.

Thanks,
schoolmarm

Please help....

There is no way I can open Media Player. My computer didn't come with a Windows 98 cd...just QuickRestore, so I hesitated to uninstall MP. Is it possible to uninstall both the original and MP9 upgrade and then just download and re-install MP9?

I'd really appreciate help. Thanks,

schoolmarm

Hiya

Take a look at this thread:

http://forums.techguy.org/showthread.php?threadid=92618&highlight=Internal+error

It seems to be a long issue. Also, if you can give the startup list that Tony give the link to, that would be great.

Hi...

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that I have Win98. I don't know the original version of wmp. I downloaded wpm 9. The original is installed in Microsoft NetShow and the second is listed separately in the Start menu.

When I click anything wmp, I get "an internal application error has occured". The original had been working fine, and then it suddenly started giving me the error. The only thing I remember installing recently is the Flash Player 6 upgrade.

I've read the other thread and I'm a computer idiot and don't know where to begin deleting files if that's what I need to do. I need clear guidance.....thanks.

This is my Start-up list:

Okay

Your startup looks okay.

See if there are any updates from Microsoft:

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/


Also, have a look at this one:

Doing a Google search will also uncover a number of forums where this IE 6 and Windows 98 problems are mentioned, and rolling back to 5.5 usually fixes the problems. This can be done by going to Add/Remove and removing IE 6, (which will roll you back to 5.5) if you previously had 5.5 installed. I'm not sure if it'll work that way though if you had 5.5 SP 2 installed.

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&th=c732e96c43a78dfe&rnum=5

Which version of Internet Explorer have you got? To find out, open up a browser, and go to the top menu's, and Help | About. It should be something like:

5.00.2516.1900

There are many it could be.

Hi...

I am running Windows 98SE and IE6.0.2800.1106 SP1

I've checked many google sites and haven't turned up any forums so far. Will keep looking.

Thanks,
schoolmarm

 

[schoolmarm]

I did a repair on IE6 just to see and neither the earlier version or MP9 will open . I rolled back to IE5.5 and no change. I tried the google link from an earlier message and get the 'page not found" error.

 

[Rollin' Rog]

When you originally downloaded the program did you do it from Windows update or from Windows Media Download Center? In the first thread that Eddie posted, one person found that the download installed from the Download Center resolved the problem, but the one from Update was failing.

[schoolmarm]

Hi...

I dowloaded from Windows Update. Sounds like I should uninstall and get one from the download centre. The question then is, where do I delete from? It isn't listed in Add/Remove Programs, nor is NetShow. When I highlight it in NetShow, there is no uninstall choice so do I just click delete?
Thanks,

schoolmarm

 

[Rollin' Rog]

I may be wrong about this, but I don't think series 9 provides for an "uninstall", at least in XP (a system restore is required). However you should be able to "reinstall" by just running another setup over the first. Download it to a convenient location, close out everything else and give it a go. Reboot afterwards.

Here is a good link to bookmark, although it doesn't address your problem, it covers a lot of others.

It works! It works!!

I did a download from Microsoft and when it was done. it automatically extracted files and installed. All I could do was accept the user agreement and it was done. When I clicked the 'finish' button, there was a player on my screen. I didn't want to get too excited yet, so I closed it and went to the Start menu. It opened!!

Thank you Rog and Eddie for your perseverence! This forum is the greatest. You guys rule!

Thanks, again...
