    Whenever I open WMP, a few seconds after the program starts running, I get this error:

    Error details:

    What does that mean? What can I do?

    You can try uninstalling it from Programs and Features in Control Panel and then re-install it by doing a Windows Update and see if that fixes it.

    vinumsv looked at the urlmon.dll file and posted a possible IE fix. If you don't have IE as your default browser, try setting IE as your default browser. If that doesn't fix the problem, you might have a simple registry error; ccleaner might find and fix a registry error that could stop this crash.

    When did this start? Have you recently installed any applications, drivers, or CODECs? If so, one of the above could be responsible.

    I hate IE >.>

    I only started experiencing this today. However, I don't usually use the computer that has this problem, but my laptop is getting fixed, and I just started using this computer today.

    Ok, but that's an answer to only one of my questions. If you answer the rest, I might be able to suggest something.
