WMP 10 rollback error message

[Guest]

Ok, so I tried WMP 10 and decided I did not like it...so i decided to roll
back to windows player 9. I did the usual..go to add/remove programs and
clicked on show updates..i clicked on windows media player 10 and it said
"you will now roll back to windows media player 9" I said great...so when i
was to open windows media player 9. An error message popped up saying:

Windows Media Technologies:
This version of Windows Media Technologies is incompatible with this version
of Windows. For more information, view the information at the Microsoft web
site.

What the crap is this?
So i go back to the microsoft website and i try to download windows media
player 10 again and samething pops up. So i try to download windows media
player 9 and same deal. I can run and download windows media player 10..but
when it comes to installing the same deal pops up. What's going on?

System Restore does not work either. How can I get WMP running again?
