Hi Cort
Perhaps this will be helpful?

Should be:
Start/Settings/Control Panel/Add-Remove Software...find Windows Media Player uninstall.
Gohere for proper version.

don't work

Daisy, it don't work in my winxpp? Me thinks it's a winxp appy like notepad & wordpad. It's not to be "unhide" in the SYSSOC.INF folder either? Where does this thing hide

 

Then what about a repair? Or a system restore?
I truly don't know. Tell me again why everyone jumped onto XP?

Daizy - because XP is so much fun. Always a challange.

Cort - go to the folder under program files and start the setup_wm.exe. There is an option to either update or reinstall all.

 

wmp

Hi Newt, yep folder "Windows Media Player" under program files, just plain as daylite at the equator It has no Uninstall tho so we prolly have to live with that fact.

 

Thx for all your replies (I havn't check in a while - been playin' Helbreath). =) WMP doesn't show up under Add/Remove Programs, and the setup file in the WMP folder says "You have the newest version" whether I do update or reinstall. Also, I can't delete the files and use the setup either, because WinXP undeletes them automatically, and it's still the v9 that I don't want, thx for all your help, and if you have any other ideas, plz reply. =)
