It worked fine until 2-3 days ago and now it wont play any of my music or open. I tryed to reinstall it, but it says it cant. I removed a windows media player off start up about when this went bad, maybe thats what causing it. Got any advice on what to do?

I had ashampoo winoptimizer and just unchecked it, but when I went back I rechecked it rebooted and it still wont play

C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\WMPNSCFG.exe is the startup file place. No windows media will open and no songs will play. Even videos that I could watch online dont play anymore

yeah I had it uninstalled. I just reinstalled to re-add the file as startup hopping it would work. Windows media is installed, but it just wont open no matter what. I tryed to redownload it, but it wont work sence its already installed. I'v tryed to open it by playin movies/cds as well as from program files and it just doesnt work. I heard something about MMS or something, but couldnt find a download for it.
