    Is there also a fix for Windows 7 for this issue?
    I have the exact same problem (and error message) on two Windows 7 Ultimate pcs.
    Unfortunately this fix did not solve the problem here.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      @Melanie: This solution is working on Windows 7 too. (as mentioned on the comments)

        @lakonst: No it doesn't (as mentioned in my comment).
        Tried to 'uninstall' end reinstall wmp but that is not possible, you can only 'disable' and 'enable' it.
        Which I think does nothing more than hide and unhide the shortcut.
        Was kind of hoping I found the solution at last, so far no luck.

          @Melanie: I 'm sorry for that. Try to check the Windows file system for problems:
          1. Right-click at Command prompt shortcut (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command prompt) and select “Run as administrator”.
          2. In the command window, type SFC /SCANNOW and hit Enter.
          3. Wait and do not use your computer until SFC tool checks and fixes the corrupted system files or services.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! This worked for me with Windows 7 Media Player 12 after spending several hours trying other "solutions" that didn't work. God bless you.
