I've had an ongoing problem with WMP 12 on Win7 x64.
After playing an audio or video file and then shutting it down, it's been unable to start up again.
After a long pause, it would give the reason as: "Server execution failed"
An OS reboot has been the only way to play another audio or video file.
I saw the thread titled "Windows Media Player 12 issue" [Note the "XX": They won't let me post a working link. I don't have enough posts.]
Slightly different problem, same result.
I tried the cure:
Control Panel\Programs and Features\Turn Windows features on or off\Uncheck all Media Features\Reboot\recheck WMP only.
Problem solved.
I can now play a file, shut WMP down, restart it and play another file.
