Wmp9, Installed 819639 Now Wmp9 Will Not Start...

[Golfer]

Had Wmp9 installed on WinXP, all worked fine with no noticeable
problems. Installed the update 819639 and now Wmp9 will not start.
For whatever reason, my System Restore also got honked up, where I did
not have the left calendar pane to restore back to. (I have that fixed
now but after the fact, with no restore point(s) available before the
update install.

I have tried to reinstall Wmp9 but have the same problem of not
starting. I checked the update install log and the update shows as
successful. The update is not listed in my Add/Remove Progrm list to
remove.

I also found that my Quick Time player was not able to start, but
reinstalling soved the problem. The WindowsXp welcome wave now does
not play and have not resolved that issue.

Searching Google and Yahoo have turned up no reference to the update
problem. Kelley's and Doug's websites have no reference so I am stuck
for the time being. I have not done a WinXp reinstall but may be
forced too yet I have a feeling that it will not resolve the update
trouble condition.


Thank You
