WMP 9: "An internal application error has occured"

[kerosene25]

When i try to open Windows Media Player 9.0
i keep getting an error window that says:
"An internal application error has occured"
It wont let me go into media player.
I cant figure out whats wrong. I tried updating it and it
says i dont need any updates.

Could you please tell is what version of windows you're using? Also did anything happen that caused this error? Did you experience a crash or install anything etc.

 Well this computer has had problems since we got it. Maybe I just dont know what I am doing but I have to keep restarting it in safe mode and adjusting the colors and resolution everytime i turn it on and the picture still dont look like it should. And sometimes i have to restart a bunch of times just to get it going. It could be something simple but I havent really cared enough to do anything about it til now.
But yea, I experienced sort of a "crash" yesterday where everything just stopped working and i had to reinstall windows. Today i reinstalled Internet explorer 6.
I am left with 2 problems (on top of the display problems and the restarting):
1. the win media player thing
2. zoomBrowser EX wont connect/recognize my camera and I reinstalled that too

thanks
