Hi Joan, If you press Alt + w from within Add Remove Programs, it should (says he crossing all fingers) bring up the "Windows Components Wizard". That's where your find Window Media Player. There are actually four icons on the left of the Add/Remove Programs dialog. There are as follows:- 1) Alt + h - Change or Remove Programs. 2) Alt + n - Add New Programs. 3) Alt + w - Add/Remove Windows Components. 4) Alt + o - Set Program Access and defaults. George. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joan Muir Sent: 30 September 2006 16:54 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Repairing Windows Media Player Hi, George, In the add/remove programs, I have Windows Installer and Windows Service Pack 2. No mention of Windows Components. Sorry to be such a nuisance, but should it be the Windows Installer I go to?=20 Don't want to mess up the wrong program. Thanks for your help. Best wishes, Joan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2006 4:44 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Repairing Windows Media Player > Hi Joan, > > When you go into Control Panel, Add Remove Programs, you > need to select "Windows Components".
