I can assume that ordinal 176 is either missing or corrupted in the library OLEAUT32 So, to fix this problem we should download the file OLEAUT32.dll Connect to the internet and go to www.dll-files.com Once the page has loaded, click on the link labeled "Download dll-files" located on the left side of the website Clicking the link will refresh the page to display a number of different dll files Scroll down to the file labeled OLEAUT32.dll, click on it and begin downloading After the download is complete reboot your computer This should have fixed your problem so try installing Windows Media Player Good Luck !
