Alrite...So my windows media player busted somehow. Everytime I try to play a video a pop up comes up and says "Cannot create directshow player". I tried to reinstall it but it just keeps doing the same thing. Anyone have this problem/know how to fix it?

Okay I googled the error and there seems to be two ways to fix it (hopefully):

- Either you run your windows on safe mode, uninstall WMP and delete all the files in its directory. Then install version ten which is the latest.

OR:
- Follow the method suggested on this page:

Have you ever been to a site where a video starts playing automatically? Ususally those videos use WMP. What I wanna know is if I have Winamp, will the show be automatically redirected to WINAMP or will I get the same error message.

where do I get Winamp?

Normally you can play them on Winamp, but I still have them both.
