Re: Can not roll back to media player 10 from 11

Before that try running Belarc Advisor to see if it can identify any
missing/damaged updates that could be fixed individually. It will list all
the individual updates that are installed on the computer and indicate
whether they passed verification.

http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

It identified damaged or missing updates for me in the past and I was able
to reinstall just the ones that were needed.

The MS validation tool can be uninstalled using Add or Remove programs. To
see the entry for it though you need to put a check mark in "show updates"
in Add or Remove programs. Reinstall it from Windows Updates.

SP2 can't be uninstalled as far as I know. Ordinarily it would be installed
from Windows updates as well but you can download a copy (it is a huge
266MB file!) from the site below. See what Belarc says before you try
downloading and installing this.

To reinstall SP2 do I need to unistall it first and how can I proceed to
reinstall SP2 and MS validation program. Where will I find them?

I accept that your Windows is genuine, however some of the files you need
for the validation to work could be damaged or missing. WMP 9 is part of
Windows, it shouldn't need reinstalling. IE security settings, or
sometimes
AV or firewall software can block Windows updates but I don't know of any
off-hand that block validation. You can try turning those things off
though
and see if it helps. Otherwise I suspect you may need to reinstall SP2
and
the MS validation program.

I have checked in the add/remove wiondows components WMP is ticked there
but
infront of it it shows 0.0MB. I tried to install WMP9 but I got the
message
that a WMP already exists so I could not install that. If I go to
"programs"
from "start menu" the WMP icon is there but if I click it I get a
window
asking for validation of Windows but the "validate" icon does not work.

I have also checked in the c/program files/WMP there exist three files
with
WMP icon. If I click "setup_wm" it asks me to validate windows which
does
not
work. second icon is "wmplayer" if I click it it also asks the same.
the
third is "wmsetsdk" if I click it it asks for accepting the licence
agreement
where "accept" icon does not respond. Is there any way I can get rid of
this
validation problem. By the way my window is genuine.

If WMP10 wasn't automatically restored after uninstalling WMP11 then
WMP
9
should be on the computer and (hopefully) functional. One version of
WMP
is
always there in XP, so does WMP run at all? Whether there are icons
displayed for it or not you can check in Add or Remove programs in the
left
hand column under "Add/Remove Windows Components" to see if Media
player
is
set to enabled.

Yes I scroll down to the end of the agreement but there was nothing
to
select or tick. I have windows XP home edition.

I upgraded to media player 11. When I tried to play it, it asked
me
to
validate my windows and when I clicked the "validate" icon it is
not
active
or it does not respond. I tried to roll back to media player 10
and
uninstalled "media player 11", "media fromat runtime 11" and also
Microsoft
User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.0.0. Now when I try to
install
media player 10 again it asks me to accept the agreement but when
I
try
to
click "accept" the option is not active. Can someone help me to
get
rid
of
this problem and restore my media player 10? I will be grateful.
