Try reinstalling from Add/Remove Programs after unhiding the updates in Controlpanel.

@sude: WMP gives the best Media Mangement which VLC, MPC doesnt provide.

@rahimveron
i truly agree with u on the point u cited..
i prescribed other media players bcoz raj in his query didnt wrote anything like he has changed to wmp10 for better media management...etc.
moreover,
wmp uses more memory ?? isnt it... so i prescribed other players..

i simply prefer WMP coz of better media management n ya maybe its something like "brand loyalty" in my case.

ABOUT PROBLEM:
