WMP 11 no longer has songs in library.

When i turned on my WMP 11 this morning it told me that there where no songs
in my library. last night when i went to bed, there where over 2500 songs in
the library. I have been using WMP for a while and now it is total not
responding. it will not let me add any music to the library, it says that a
"component is missing" when i try to use media sharing. I also noticed that
next to the windows icon on the top of the player where it use to say "URGE"
now says media guide.

OK with you previous set-up with URGE on the farthest right tab that was a
direct link to a track site. Clicking the small arrow below that tab would
have revealed Media Guide plus other things, or it should have.

It sounds like you have a corrupt file within WMP.

Maybe a System Restore to a time when you think it was OK will bring it
back to norm.
