It seems my kids have deleted Windows Media Player?

Last night, I tried to play a DVD on my computer. A couple of weeks ago, I had no problems doing this. Now, nothing happens. In searching for Windows Media Player, I couldn't find it.

Is there any way to restore it? I've checked in the Recycle bin, and it's not there. Is it possibly in the recycle bin under one of their user accounts?

    I can DEFINATLY tell u that it is NOT in the Recycle Bins in of their accounts.... Unless one of Their accounts is the Administrator... Best way to get Windows Media Player back is to redownload Media Player.... here is the Safest Link to do so... ---> http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/play...

    However Just to make sure that the File Is Gone go to Start --> Search ---> For Files or Folders and All File types.... type in wmplayer.exe... Make sure it is in the C:\Program Files\Windows Media player Folder... Otehr names may possibly Show up in the C:\Windows\Prefetch Folder... The one you are looking for is or SHOULD be in C:\Program Files\ Media Player Folder though

    it really is probable living house windows because maximum those who use living house windows do not have a clue what they are speaking about. do not receive junk from random places. McAfee is terrible and doesn't favor to be in rates. and at the same time as think ofyou've got compaq or HP so that you should take it to someone. That or throw it away and get a Mac.

    Try the free new Winamp5.5 Media Player from www.winamp.com . It has improved a lot and is very, very cool now.
