Re: TV ON MY PC

I can't figure out how to start most of these. They usually go
back and forth between sites, especially one called "Sandi's" and
I've gotten to the point where I've flagged any references to
that one in case it's a trojan horse or what not. The truth is,
I don't know how to use these things. Too complicated for me,
and it's not about viruses or adware. It is simply that Internet
Explorer won't work with WMP. Is there any way I can just delete
WMP altogether and re-install it no hassle? Coming here has
complicated things, not solved them.

How do I re-install WindowsXP directly from the disk?

Thanks anyway.
