[northernstar]

i just downloaded the windows media player 9.0 and when i
tried to open it i got the message "the file wmplayer.exe.
has a version number 9.0.0.2980 where 9.0.0.2926 was the
expected version" then "windows media player is not
installed properly and must be reinstalled" I did
reinstall 2 times but i was still not able to open the
player. what am i doing wrong?

Both of those version numbers were the beta releases. The final release version is 9.0.0.3008.
What version were you running before you tried the install?
