WMP 10.0 Problem

[Skiz]

Unistall WMP 10. Download and install WMP 9

[david622]

I was thinking of that. But how do I uninstall WMP? It's not in the Add/Remove prog. list, and It doesn't seem to be removeable via. add/remove prog's. "windows components" section

[Skiz]

Go to add/remove programs, then go to add/remove windows compononts, and you should be able to detick WMP

if it isn't in add\remove programs then use xplite pro to remove windows media player altogether. then restart and choose in xplite to reinstall media player and it will install media player 8 (needs the xp cd). after that install 10 again (or 9).

i had a problem with wmp 10 it would not load video clips so i uninstalled it and it was in add/remove. it is quite a way down where all the windows bits are.

Though the sound to my video files isn't slow anymore, now the picture's gone completely, and I get an error message sayiing:

"Windows Media Player encountered an unknown error"

However, the sound still plays in the background.

I rolled back to WMP 9, and have the same problem. Do I need something I don't have?

I DID IT!! Rolled back to WMP 9, reinstalled codecs, it worked! Went back to 10.0, still works!

Thanks for all your help,
DSF

In windows media player there is a setting that you can change to have the video go half or full speed, perhaps that option is checked.

and that option is where?
i got the same thing with an AVI file in WMP 10
(only mine plays at 15000x normal speed instead of half speed)
sounds like the fkn chipmunks or somethin

videoLAN works, so i dont worry too much
