vista basic to premium problem

[Guest jack sprat]

purchased a new laptop. it came with vista basic. purchased an

upgrade license and now have vista home premium. this was done 3.5

months ago. began having problems with windows media center. would

not play a dvd, said no codec was installed. then i found out that

windows media player will not even launch. attempted to put the

upgrade disk in and reinstall vista the way you used to do in xp (as

an upgrade) on first reboot it says cannot write the XXX? that is

required to finish the install and quits. had done this 5 times. is

there a way to reinstall media player and windows media center

without doing an entire install. another problem is my Zune software

will not make a short movie as it also says the audio codec is not

installed. just got media player 9 codec taht is required and

installed it. it still says the audio codec is not installed. vista

refuses to play wmv files which is the windows media player format.

thanks LaMar
