Good morning - I have a Dell desktop computer, a few years old, Windows XP.

For a while now when I try to play a video using Windows Media Player, I get
an error saying, "Windows Media Player is not installed properly and must be
reinstalled." But most of the way thru the install I get another error
saying it "Failed to initialize properly(0x80000003)"

I've tried this a few times; always the same errors. Can I completely
uninstall Media Player, and then try reinstalling again, or is it an
integral part of Windows? If I can uninstall it, where do I go to do it?

Any suggestions would be appreciated............ Thanks & Best
Regards.................<TOM>
