Gidday.
First of all, my laptop is a Toshiba Satellite (old) with a 5.6gig HDD (pretty much full), FAT32, crappy Intel Celeron, 64mg RAM running on Windows ME 4.90.3000. Windows Media Player version 9

Now, as it is not used for internet browsing, I decided to delete Explorer and its associates, so as to free up a bit of disk space. I could not remove all of it though. And now when I try to start WMP, it just says "An internal application error has occurred."
WHY?!?!?!??:grumpy:

I have tried reinstalling it, but the same thing happened. All of the songs play fine in Classic, and I cannot watch my burnout videos:nervous:

Could I please have some help as to what the problem may be??

By the way, I prefer to use WMP because I know my way around it, and I need as large an equaliser band as possible.
 
From what I understand, Internet Explorer is deeply integrated into the operating system. They are changing this with Vista and IE7, but in your case, you can't totally get rid of it. You may think that you uninstalled it, but it's still there.

Anyways, why don't you try VLC Player for your videos? I honestly have no idea where to even start to solve your problem, aside from reinstalling Windows ME as TS suggested.

Well, I have way too much stuff on there to fit it all on CD's (lack of DVD burner). I'm considering reinstalling Explorer.....
 
As the others said, Internet Explorer practically is Windows. You'll need to reinstall it (this is a good time to get the latest non-Beta version), and if that doesn't work, you might be in deeper trouble.

By that, do you mean Media Player Classic? If not, I highly recommend it. It's much faster than Microsoft's WMP7 and above, yet retains all of the functionality, and then some. :)

What I did was, in Start Menu, went to Run, and typed "mplayer". But the thing is I would much rather have all of the songs easily accessible within the player, and also a large equalizer band. I'm also considering WinAmp (latest version).

Also, how big is the download file for the non-beta IE? Because we are only on a 500mg limit:crazy:
 
Just get another audio and video player to deal with your files.

For music i use iTunes and like it very much. For video i use WMP, but you should be able to use Divx player or realplayer or as dougie suggested (but i think you misunderstood him) VLC Player for the majority of your files.

Don't waste your time messing around with huge downloads and wrestling with Windows when you just need to choose a different and possibly better piece of software.
