Hey guys, I got a problem that I cannot seem to fix. I tried opening Windows Media Player to watch a video my friend made. I got an error message from WMP:
[quote name='WMP']The specified module could not be found.[/quote]

When I went to the help page on the website, it returned the following message:
[quote name='http://www.microsoft.com']You've encountered error message 8007007E while using Windows Media Player. We are investigating the cause of this error. We will post more information about this error when it becomes available. [/quote]

So Microsoft knows what's going on, but do not have an answer yet. I tried reinstalling WMP10, but that did not fix it. If anyone has an answer, please let me know about it.

Try to use other players such as Light Alloy or BSPlayer.
