Would it not be so much simpler to bring your computer back to the shop and let him take 30 minutes to fix it for free?
If you choose to take it back to him, you do not need to take your entire computer with you. You can leave you monitor, printer, keyboard, mouse and any other peripherals at home. The only part you need to bring to the shop is the tower (the box as some call it).
If your end goal is to have an excuse to mess around with the computer just to learn something, then ignore everything I said. Good luck and God Bless You.

Would it not be easier for me to bring the computer into the shop (and of course I know not to bring the monitor, keyboard, mouse, (do you think I'm stupid?? lol).
The reason it would not be easy is this is a TOWER, and I'm 62 years old with degenerative joint disease and lifting things is HARD for me. Unplugging all the peripherals is a pain in the behind. And then re-hooking everything up.
My husband is no help in this department. He'll complain like the dickens. That's why I just wanted to know if I could uninstall Windows Media Player 11, and install 10 and update the codecs thing.
And I am NOT driving myself crazy. I'm just posting this on a computer message board.
Life is too short to drive oneself crazy over computers. I joke and post stuff but many people know me and when I add LOL to my post, they know I am not at all STRESSED over this.
Last month, we had the computer in the shop for over one month. That's one month with no computer.
I simply went to the guy, he let me access my emails from time to time, but I had plenty of other stuff to keep me busy.
I am not chained to this thing. It has its benefits, it has it's use, and it most certainly provides us with information.
But it's not my life. So don't worry, no stress.
lol
