Windows Vista Media Player

[ozmeister]

My Media Player on my Philips X58 laptop has just stopped working - I am getting the message 'the file wmploc.dll has a version number of 11.0.6001.7004 where 11.0.6001.7000 was expected, Windows Media Player is not installed properly and must be reinstated' - It then asks me if I want to install the Player from the Microsoft Web site ?

If I accept I am redirected to a site for a download which then tells me it is not compatable with my system - any thoughts would be welcomed - thanks.

Two media players that are much better (for playing videos) than WMP:
