does anyone know of a way to uninstall WMP10?

Question

Hi,
i was using windows media player 9 to play video embedded in webpages and it worked fine. i then decided to upgrade to version 10. unfortunately, version 10 didn't seem to work, i could hear the audio but the video was frozen. i tried to do the rollback uninstall to version 9 but it gave me errors, so i manually tried to delete the windows media player files from my "program files" directory. after i did this, there was no more option to uninstall WMP in add/remove programs so i can't uninstall WMP anymore. i reinstalled WMP10 but there is still no way for me to uninstall it.

does anyone know of a way to uninstall WMP10? thanks

Answer 1

Well.. Start -> Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs -> On the left hand side, around the vertical middle of the window you'll see a tab called 'Add/Remove Windows components' Click on the tab-> under entertainment look for WMP -> uuncheck -> apply, okay and restart and you are done.

Answer 2

Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > on the left pane, you'll see "add/remove windows components" click on it, then on the list, uncheck WMP & then click next... . You may need the windows installation CD; you can repeat the same phases after uninstalling in order to install the older version.

Answer 3

yes go to add remove programmes and then go to add remove windows components and uninstall windows media player.
if it still doesnt work then you can use the system restore fascility.
