Gtalk Vs Window Media Player Troubleshooting

Why isn't my music status showing when I use Windows Media Player?

If Windows Media Player or your Windows desktop crashes, Windows Media Player will disable all plug-ins, including the music-status plug-in for Google Talk. To re-enable the Google Talk plug-in, follow these steps:

Open Windows Media Player. From the View menu, select Plug-ins > Options...

From the Category section of the Plug-ins tab, select Background.

Select the Google Talk Music Plugin checkbox.

Click OK.

You'll need to close and restart Windows Media Player for the change to take effect.

A note for Vista users: If you can't find the Google Talk Music plug-in in the Plug-ins tab of your Windows Media Player settings, try these steps:

Uninstall Google Talk.

Visit http://www.google.com/talk/

Click Download Google Talk client near the bottom of the page.

Save the installation file to your desktop.

Right-click the installation file (googletalk-setup.exe) on your desktop and select Run as administrator.

Follow the instructions to install Talk.
