Hello bazil41,

What about the date and time in Windows? Also check your Time Zone.

Go here and run the diagnostic: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag/default.aspx?

hello Dan
thanks for your replay, I've checked all the date and time parameters and used the link you gave me - but it still doesn't work, also when i tried to synchronize with the internet time server "time.windows.com" - it failed
I would appreciate further assistance

Hello bazil41,

Please go to http://microsoft.com/genuine/diag and click the Satrt Diagnostic button. the page will check your OS to confirm all the setting are correct to allow the validation process. It will also check for common issues (such as time/date issues) and either give you the option to have the site automaticly fix the issue or if it can't, it will provide manual steps for you to use to resolve the issue. Once done, click the Validate Windows button and then try installing Media Player again.

If that does not resolve the issue, download and run the Genuine Diagnostics tool (MGADiag.exe) at this link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012. Click "Continue", click the “Windows” tab, and click the "Copy" button then “Paste” the report into a reply message in this thread.

Thank you,
Darin MS
