Note

If you remove Windows Media Player 11 and the Windows Media Format 11 Runtime, and you try to play a protected file, you may get an error message indicating that the Player cannot play, burn, or sync protected files. To resolve the problem, you can install the Windows Media Format 9.5 Runtime. For information about installing the Runtime, in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, see article 891122, "Update for Windows Media Digital Rights Management-enabled players. "

You can also use System Restore to roll back to the previous version of the Player. For more information about System Restore, see Use System Restore to Undo Changes if Problems Occur.

I assumed that Mike had tried to uninstall WMP 11 through Add/Remove Programs and failed because, as we have established, the uninstall files are missing.

If WMP 10 is shown as being installed try re-associating it with all media files and see if it works. You may have allowed Nero to take over playing all media files during install.
