the Active X plugin isnt working it just shows a red cross, is there anyway
of getting that to work, Thanks.

How did you get into this state? When the files were deleted, that would
probably have broken things really effectively.

Can you System Restore back to before this horribleness?

If you look up "WMP11.assocfile.wma" on http://support.microsoft.com ,
there's a way to reregister the player on Vista there. Does that help the
WMP issue?

But the real key is: how did you get into this state? You could potentially
cobble yourself back together, but if chunks of your file system are
missing, you're kind of needing to do either a System Restore or an OS
reinstall. Anything short of that is just going to be bad patch-work, since
there's no rational way those files should have been *able* to disappear in
the first place. =\
