  when i try to open up windows media player, it prompted the msg "an internal application error has occured".
  
  so how do i justify this problem when unistalling plus updating the player to the latest version doesnt help ?

  What did you do to trigger this error?
  
  When you insert a CD or DVD and it autoplays?
  
  Or any other things you did to trigger it?
  
  How about when you just open Windows Media Player without it playing any music or video? Does the same error occur?

  I dont remember doing anything to cause this error or delete any files associated with the media player.
  
  The thing is I cant open up the player with or without playing anything

  for me is everytime i turn on the computer
  will have pop ups saying wmp trying to connect to server or taking over as server or some shlt (can't remember what)
  then i have to press allow or deny
  then i will press deny 4 times X 3 (pop up will disappear after 4 deny and appear again, this will repeat 3 times)
  then the pop ups will finally not appear again
  so irritating
  
  how to stop this?
  
  but if i press allow
  then the pop up will go away right away
  but i scared that will be harmful or something.......
  
  so what shall i do?

  Since it's an internal error, probably some files have been corrupted.
  
  Uninstall Windows Media Player. It's in Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. Make sure you tick the Show updates box at the top right hand corner.
  
  Next, download Windows Media Player 10. Save it to somewhere convenient.
  
  Thirdly, download ATF Cleaner or CCleaner to clean up your temporary files.
  
  Install Windows Media Player 10.
  
  Last step, go to Start > Run and type in cmd
  
  In Command Prompt, type in the bolded parts line by line. After each line, press Enter key.
  
  regsvr32 /u jscript.dll
  regsvr32 jscript.dll
  
  Then try running Windows Media Player again.

  WMP is connecting to the Microsoft server. Click on your Media tab. That's the server they are connecting to. Also, it's checking for updates.
  
  You have to allow them, otherwise it won't be able to update.

  Have you reinstalled Windows Media Player?
  
  If yes, they are most likely OK now, that's why it failed.
