Media Player 12 - Error = Server Execution Failed
I have received this error from day one. I can not force the app to load or a CD to initiate the app. I have rebooted with no change. Have tried MS Support online, could not find anything useful. A Google search shows that I am not alone.
I have a XP 8300 with Windows Pro, 12GB RAM, and a non functional media player.
Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks

the same problem happened to me a few hours after I had purchased my new inspiron 7520 .First it was running very smoothly but suddenly it stopped working and this message appeared.
please convince me that it's not a problem with the new DELL because that would be shame.

when the problem first happened these two methods were very popular on the internet(since a lot of people are facing it) but it never worked with anybody.
The perfect reply I found was suggested by an angry customer " like me " was to try another application instead of WMP.
BUT
May I know please what caused this error to happen??
