Asked By frankie_544 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/26/2011

Last night while I was watching a movie on my computer, on a DVD, suddenly the media player crashed & error came saying "Update your video codec immediately to resolve this issue".

Error

Fatal Error! The media system on your computer is corrupt. Update your video codec immediately to resolve this issue.

 

I tried to play another DVD to see, if the problem was with my DVD, but after sometime of playing, the movie again crashed with the same error.

Please help me with this error. I'm using Windows XP & I've Media Player 10 on it.

Media System Corrupt: Fatal Error

 

That error is a fake warning, this security alert is caused by some malware , it is one of the WinCodecPro advertisements, convincing the computer user to download their harmful program. This alert is created by the main system process for Trojan which is C:Program FilesMediaSystemwmptray.exe

You can get rid of  this by using fatal error alert removal  tools such as the SmithFraudFix.exe

Once you downloaded it, you should  first reboot your computer and set it into “Safe Mode”

After you setting  up your computer into “Safe Mode” shut  off all the open“Windows”

Click twice on the icon of SmitFraudfix and when its tools started to run, a screen will display, on the keyboard  tap any key to see the next window screen.

 Once you see the new window screen, on the keyboard tap down 2 and to select the “Clean(Safe mode Recommended) ”  simply press down the “Enter”

Now the Cleaning Process will automatically begin.
