Re: Unable to rip CDs



What are you actually asking for? You ask how to turn off automatic updates and then say you've already done it.

I'm extremely angry with microsoft now, and i think its related to Earworm's
problem. Windows Mediaplayer 10 has been r-downloaded since i changed to
automatic updates, and succombed to the Service Pack 2 Security Nazi's. Even
though i've had my XP Professional for over 3 years, Windows Media Player 10
treats me like a new user asking me to check off on a masssive "I Accept"
security disclaimer, which i won't do. I've also turned off Automatic
Updates. I feel like my Computer feature's usability is being taken away
from me. I can't play my entire library of WMA files now. I tried to use
i-tunes as a 'work-around' to cicumvent this irritating microsoft
devolopment, and have nearly eaten up all my memory. I would like my
original software back, how to I BOOT Windows Media Player 10 from my HARD
DRIVE, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, go back to doing my manual updates. I feel like
the Auto updates has done irreparable damage to my ability to go back to my
computer's previous "nazi-free" usability
