"the operating system cannot run %1"

[flahmeshess]

All of a sudden, my Media Player cannot play files anymore. It just
gave me the above error. I think it's not Media Player but the file
association. But I just can't find where I need to do the repairs.
Any advice ? Thanks !

Hi Bob
I've already checked WMV is associated with "Windows Media Audio/
Video file". Seems like something is wrong with the "Windows Media
Audio/Video file" definition. I don't know how to amend the "Windows
Media Audio/Video file" definition. Could you advise me please ?
Thanks very much !

Play on mine has the following contents. (watch the wrap there is a
space before the %L)

"C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" /prefetch:7 /Play "%L"

Thanks Bob. I took the drastic way. Reinstalled WMP and it's working
now.
