I bet MS never realized one thing when they allowed people using Windows XP
to get Windows Media Player 11 Beta...that if they uninstalled it it would
screw up their whole computer. Rolling it back doesn't actually work. I've
tried it, and now I have no working WM Players on my computer. Because There
are no WM Player's on here and Windows XP doesn't allow you to uninstall it,
even though WMP 11 Beta does just that, you cannot use the WMP 9, 10, or even
11 Beta to fix it by reinstalling. I followed MS's instructions on their site
for uninstalling it so I could reinstall it to fix an error...well that was a
mistake, now my whole computer is screwed up...IE7 Beta 2 won't let me use
certain types of links or sign in on the PassPort NetWork so I'm forced to
use the original Mozilla web browser because it is the only one on here that
works...even worse, my explorer.exe process freezes up and it and some other
processes won't end when I log off and I cannot stop them using task manager.
And thanks to Dell I don't have a Windows XP disc to use to repair the OS
with, and things just keep getting worse...
About 80% of the time that I try to turn off my computer it gets stuck at
"Shutting Down" and I will come back 5 or 6 hours later and find it still
there...Other problems I have include the computer freezing everything but
the mouse when I try to rename a folder or name one I just made, The computer
won't let me play any games that require the use of an external disc, even
ones that are and aren't installed on here, I can't burn any CD's, WMP is all
screwed up as mentioned above and now I get an "internal error" message, my
internet is slow, and programs that require scripts are either just showing a
blank white window, or they are pretending that that part of them doesn't
exist...I know for sure I have no viruses, spyware, etc. on my computer
because I have way more than enough protection for that and they are all
properly configured. Also, my computer is completely up-to-date, and I mean
beyond Windows/Microsoft Update...
I've checked everything with the device manager and there are no issues
either.
My computer is a custom-rebuilt X-Ventilator with a Dell Dimension 3000
motherboard and 320W? Power Supply, a Socket 478 Intel Pentium 4 CPU running
at 2.8 GHz, 1 52x CD Burner, some other accessories, and a completely full
Samsung 80 GB HDD. I'm using Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. If someone
could help me with this, since obviously no one has mentioned it to MS, then
that would be awesome.
Thanks again,

By the way, this is a new thread, not a question. The reason it says it's a
question is because this problem I'm having won't even let me start a new
thread...
