Unable to rip CDs

[Guest]

Since installing WMP10 I have been unable to rip CDs - keep getting the error
message 'Windows Media Player encountered an unknown error' without an error
code. Everything esle seems ok but only use WMP to rip & play music.
Went into Control Panel to uninstall it and hopefully revert to WMP9 but
found no trace of any WMP progs.

Your copy of WMP may have corrupt files.
Download a fresh/new copy of WMP10 and install it. Do not delete
previous copy of WMP for it is designed to be installed overtop of itself.

Dear 'Byte',
Thank you! Tried this and am now happily adding to my library.

I'm extremely angry with microsoft now, and i think its related to Earworm's
problem. Windows Mediaplayer 10 has been r-downloaded since i changed to
automatic updates, and succombed to the Service Pack 2 Security Nazi's. Even
though i've had my XP Professional for over 3 years, Windows Media Player 10
treats me like a new user asking me to check off on a masssive "I Accept"
security disclaimer, which i won't do. I've also turned off Automatic
Updates. I feel like my Computer feature's usability is being taken away
from me. I can't play my entire library of WMA files now. I tried to use
i-tunes as a 'work-around' to cicumvent this irritating microsoft
devolopment, and have nearly eaten up all my memory. I would like my
original software back, how to I BOOT Windows Media Player 10 from my HARD
DRIVE, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, go back to doing my manual updates. I feel like
the Auto updates has done irreparable damage to my ability to go back to my
computer's previous "nazi-free" usability

What are you actually asking for? You ask how to turn off automatic updates
and then say you've already done it.
