I bought my computer a few weeks ago and I have had this problem since I bought it. I run Windows 7 (64-bit) that came with the computer and Windows Media Player is always the latest version.
The problem is that when I start Windows Media Player it acts like none of my manually installed plug-ins exists. The plug-ins in question are last.fm scrobbler, Windows Live Messenger and Lyrics Plug-in. When I press Tools>Plug-ins it only shows "Bluetooth Headset Plugin" which came with the computer.
If I however install one of the plug-ins. Like Lyrics Plug-in for example, it is already installed but I install it again, then when I press Tools>Plug-ins it shows all of my installed plug-ins in the menu and all of the plug-ins suddenly work perfectly (not just Lyrics Plug-in and Bluetooth Headset Plugin, but Last.fm-Scrobbler and Windows Live Messenger as well). But the next time I boot up Windows, Windows Media Player acts like none of my manually installed plug-ins exist again.
Does anybody know what causes this problem and how to prevent it?
