I am running Vista. Media Player was working. Now when I double click on it
nothing happens. I can start the Player if I log on as another user.

Right click on the Taskbar, select Task Manager, Processes tab, select
wmplayer.exe and press End Process button.

Sounds like an issue with your user account's temporary application
data given the situation you've described.

1. Click on the start menu.
2. Look for the box that says in Italic 'Start Search'.
3. Click on the start search box and type '%appdata%' (without the
quotes)
4. Press enter on your keyboard.
5. Go to the parent directory (Go up one level) or however you want to
phrase this.
6. Find the directory 'Local' and open it
7. Find the directory 'Microsoft' and open it
8. Look for the directory 'Windows Media Player'.
9. Delete it.
10. There, your done. Your temporary applicata data for Windows Media
Player si gone.

****WARNING****
This resets most your Windows Media Player settings to default and
you'll lose your library index. Windows will ahve to slowly re-add
your mp3s and slowly redownload the pictures for those albums)

There is also a registry key that contains information about this too:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer

You might want to delete that key through Registry Editor if removing
the temporary application data doesn't work.
