I'm new to Windows 7, and have a clean install on a custom built system. When I try to run Windows Media Player nothing happens. When I put a DVD into the DVD player nothing happens.
In other situations I would uninstall, and then reinstall. But I don't know how to do that in Win 7.
Any assistance will be a big help.
Thanks.
