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

You were right these three updates were located at more than one place. Any
way before confirming that I installed them again. I have also run the
validation tool but the problem is still there and the media player does not
even appear in "Add/remove programs list". What more I can do?

Just to add that in my list of "Add/remove programs" Microsoft validation
tool does not exist. However there is Windows genuine advantage
validataion
tool but it can not be removed from there because it has no remove option.

Before that try running Belarc Advisor to see if it can identify any

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.
