"I Need Your Help!"

Well, the problem is my Windows Media Player has stopped working saying that it cannot find the wmplayer.exe file. And my Real One Player has stopped working saying it can't find the realplayer.exe.

So have you got any solutions for this problem?

Run a virus check to make sure there's nothing nibbling away at your files... McAfee do a free one over the net dont they?

It's really weird. Both .EXE files just deleted themselves. I've reinstalled WM Player which has solved that and I'll reinstall Real One, which will solve it but I was wondering how come this happened.

Yeah, the wmplayer.exe should be in C:\Program Files\windows media player. Have a quick look for it.

A tad more detail would be helpful. What are you using to try and start the programs? Start menu shortcuts? Sounds like they might be pointing to an .exe that is no longer there.

Try perfoming a search for the .exe files. If you find them, make sure your shortcuts are pointing to the right place, or create new shortcuts. If the search does not find them, either the .exe's have been deleted, or the programs have somehow become uninstalled. Simply re-install them both. WMP is a windows componant anyway, and RP can easily be downloaded.
