windows media player

I have Windows ME running on my PC. I recently installed Windows XP. I
then uninstalled it because it was causing problems with some of my other
components. After reverting back to the original Windows ME configuration
everything was fine except that the Windows Media Player would not work.

When I attempt to re-install Windows Media Player 9 it goes through the
whole installation process then gives this message:

Cannot Complete Windows Media Player 9 Series Setup
It was not possible to complete setup.

There is no error code.

It just says to attempt the installation again. I have not been able to
find a solution for this on the microsoft support and knowledge base
website or anywhere else.

Any ideas on how I can get Windows Media Player working again on my PC ?

Many thanks.

What anti-virus are you using??
