wmp10 can't open or uninstall--'internal applications error'

when burning audio cds, the program usually freezes the computer. i figured
i should probably reinstall the program. i went to 'add/remove programs' and
selected 'windows media player' under 'service pack 2 updates' in the list.
i was informed that a rollback was necessary, so i allowed it, and was then
advised a restart was necessary in order for the changes to take effect.
when i restarted, i went through the installation wizard. then,media player
was no longer on the programs list in 'add/remove programs', and when i tried
to open media player,it was still series 10 [i had presumed 'rollback' meant
series 9 would be there instead], and i received this: an internal
application error has occurred'.
what would be my next step, as i cannot even access the program??

thank you in advance--you folks have been of immense assistance when i've
posted regarding previous problems...
