Windows Media Player 11

[Jerry]

On my wife's computer with Windows Home, WMP11 was inadvertently installed
from Windows Update Page. Is there anyway to uninstall WMP 11 that is
foolproof?

I have done search on Google and MS Knowledge base and found several
descriptions of how to do it, but each one says if that method does not work
try another.

Also if uninstalled successfully, does it revert to the previously installed
version of WMP or does the version you want have to be reinstalled?

Help prevent a divorce !!!

Thank you

Hi,

I am not sure, (maybe you know about it already...);

-Control Panel; -add or Remove Prg... ; -and remove from there Windows
MP 11 --- maybe you can also remove Windows MP in the "Add/Remove
Windows Components" list on the same window as Add or Remove Prg...
and reinstall it again so you find yourself at the end with WMP
initial version...

Hope it can help,

It should have set a system restore point before it installed MP 11.

The time I tried WMP11 and decided to remove it, all I had to do was use
the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs applet. It worked perfectly.

I used the control panel to remove WMP 11 and when it was done, about half
of her desktop icons were missing including the IE icon and several programs
would not run. Luckily I had a ghost image <still had WMP 11 on the ghost
image>, and returned her pc back to normal. I am not sure why she dislikes
WMP 11 as I use it on my pc and seems to work fine. Hers works and is setup
exactly like mine, so it must just be the new interface. LOL

Thanks for the info anyway, she will just have to live with it for now.
