I had some spysweeper remove some files and my windows media player won't
open neither will any of my other .wmv files. How can I reinstall or get the
media player to work? There's no uninstall or repair feature on the remove
programs.

Can you use System Restore?

Unfortunately no, I tried it multiple times and it looks like it wiped it
somehow. It gets to the finalization and freezes.

If System Restore is also non-functional, that is indicating a more severe
failure. This is looking like a Windows reinstall would probably be more
relevant to your interests. =\

How far back in the ONE ALLOWABLE month that Vista posts in system restore
should you go before you run out of restore points....should I go to the
furtherest date or a closer date to today? I have never done a system
restore and am confused..Help

I don't understand your question as an extension of Batman's question. I
would go to a nearer point first to see if that one addresses the issue you
are trying to solve.
