    windows cannot find 'wmplayer.exe'

    every time i try and open a media file, my PC thinks it cannot find Windows Media Player, it just produces:

    windows cannot find 'wmplayer.exe'

    File assocations are still correct, wmplayer works fine, and Adaware deep scan reveals no spyware, although i assume it must be a spy/trojan causing the prb - any ideas

    hijack this log below - cheers

    There doesn't look to be anything to troubling on your computer. I think the best thing to do, would be to Reinstall media player. Download and install the latest version from here.
