Uninstall Windows Media Player 10 and Start Enjoying Your Media Again
Windows Media Player 10 has been full of bugs from Microsoft since they offered
it as a download from their site. Windows Media Player 9 was nice and simple. Windows
Media Player 10 is way too complex and feature-rich that it has taken away from
the simpleness of version 9 and ruined itself. Another great media player is Winamp
but we won't go into that right now.
If you have installed Windows Media Player 10, you can roll back to the version
of the Player that was on your computer before installing Windows Media Player 10.
To roll back from Windows Media Player 10 to a previous version, do the following:
- In Control Panel (Category View), click Add or Remove Programs.
- Click Remove a program
Now do one of the following: If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 2, select
the Show updates check box (at the top of the list), click Windows Media Player
10 (in the Windows Updates section), and then click Change/Remove.
If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 1 or earlier, click Windows Media Player
10, and then click Change/Remove.
As of writing this many people have found bugs in WMP10 that make it unavailble
for common audio and video files. If you find that WMP10 is crashing or giving you
errors and you cant play your media files. Uninstall it with these directions and
stay happy.
