Solved WMP Not Responding - SFC not being able to repair corrupt

I recently re-installed Windows 8 Pro, 64bit after having some difficulties with drivers. I thought I would start afresh. The installation went smoothly but now I cannot play any type of file with WMP 12 and the Video App in Metro, this may be linked to multiple SFC scans that I have run, all of which report that some repairs have been made and some files were corrupt and could not be fixed.

The Video App crashes with this error message (in event viewer):

And the SFC CBS.log file I will attach (this was literally copied and pasted from the original because i could not upload it through the forum)

Please Help

Run:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

in Administrator command prompt.
Reboot.
Run sfc again.

Report back.

Okay I am doing that now. Will report

To no avail, WMP12 still crashes with the same message as with the Video App. VLC and Quicktime can both play the file that I am attempting, so it is not a corrupt file. Thanks though

From your original post it would appear that the best thing to do is to do a clean install, and reformat the installation drive to ensure that you have no further problems. Also, try to have all your drivers on a thumb drive, or external USB device. . .gold luck.

BTW, Welcome to the Eight Forums.". . .

Yes the thing is I just did a refromat and reinstall and this happened after​ i committed the reinstallation

I am very disinclined to do another reformat because of driver issues I have when reinstalling, also I have to redownload most of my applications, it isnt enough just to store them, this totals about 35gbs, of downloads

Maybe return it to factory specs & reinstall 8 pro again.?
That would be tedious.

If the problem isn't software it could be hardware related.

oops--You posted before I did.

EDIT 2--- I just did a restore & made a folder called EXE.
I put all my newly downloaded programs with serial numbers & such in it.
Then copied it to a usb drive.
This will make the next screwup easier to fix.

Okay I have found out that it was a driver problem related to my graphics card, I will keep looking into this but I thank you both for your help, and aony the way you have probebly fixed some other problems on my computer.
